Architecture
The CY7C024AV/025AV/026AV and CY7C0241AV/0251AV/
036AV consist of an array of 4K, 8K, and 16K words of 16 and
18 bits each of dual-port RAM cells, I/O and address lines, and
control signals (CE, OE, R/W). These control pins permit
independent access for reads or writes to any location in
memory. To handle simultaneous writes/reads to the same
location, a BUSY pin is provided on each port. Two Interru pt
(INT) pins can be utilized for port-to-port communication. T wo
Semaphore (SEM) control pins are used for allocating shared
resources. With the M/S pin, the devices can function as a
master (BUSY pins are outputs) or as a slave (BUSY pins are
inputs). The devices also have an automatic power-down
feature controlled by CE. Each port is provided with its own
output enable control (OE), which allows data to be read from
the device.
Functional Description
The CY7C024AV/025AV/026AV and CY7C0241AV/0251AV
/036AV are low-power CMOS 4K, 8K, and 16K ×16/18
dual-port static RAMs. Various arbitration schemes are
included on the devices to handle situations when multiple
processors access the same piece of data. Two ports are
provided, permitting independent, asynchronous access for
reads and writes to any location in memory. The devices can
be utilized as standalone 16/18-bit dual-port static RAMs or
multiple devices can be combined in order to function as a
32/36-bit or wider master/slave dual -port static RAM. An M/S
pin is provided for implementing 32/36-bit or wider memory
applications without the need for separate master and slave
devices or additio nal discre te logic. Ap plication areas include
interprocessor/multiprocessor designs, communications
status buffering, and dual-port video/graphics memory.
Each port has independent control pins: Chip Enable (CE),
Read or Write Enable (R/W), and Output Enable (OE). Two
flags are provided on each port (BUSY and INT). BUSY
signals that the port is trying to access the same location
currently being accessed by the other port. Th e Interrupt flag
(INT) permits communication between ports or systems by
means of a mail box. The semaphores are used to pass a flag,
or token, from one port to the other to indicate that a shared
resource is in use. The semaphore logic is comprised of eight
shared latches. Only one side can control the latch
(semaphore) at any time. Control of a semaphore indicates
that a shared resource is in use. An automatic power-down
feature is controlled independently on each port by a Chip
Select (CE) pin.
The CY7C024AV/025AV/026AV and CY7C0241AV/0251AV/
036AV are available in 100-pin Lead (Pb)-free Thin Quad Flat
Pack (TQFP) and 100-pin TQFP.
Write Operation
Data must be set up for a duration of tSD before the rising edge
of R/ W in order to guarantee a valid write. A write operation is
controlled by either the R/W pin (see Write Cycle No. 1
waveform) or the CE pin (see Write Cycle No. 2 waveform).
Required inputs for non-contention operations are summa-
rized in Table 1.
If a location is being written to by one port and the opposite
port attempts to read that location, a port-to-port flowthro ugh
delay must occur before the data is read on the output;
otherwise the data read is not deterministic. Data will be valid
on the port tDDD after the data is presented on the other port.
Read Operation
When reading the device, the user must assert both the OE
and CE pins. Data will be available tACE after CE or tDOE after
OE is asserted. If the user wishes to access a semaphore flag,
then the SEM pin must be asserted instead of the CE pin, and
OE must also be asserted.
Interrupts
The upper two memory locations may be used for message
passing. The highest memory location (FFF for the

the CY7C026A V/36A V) is the mailbox for the right port and the
second-highest memory location (FFE for the CY7C024AV/
41AV, 1FFE for the CY7C025AV/51AV, 3FFE for the
CY7C026AV/36AV) is th e mailbox for the left port. When one
port writes to the other port’s mailbox, an interrupt is generated
to the owner. The interrupt is reset when the owner reads the
contents of the mailbox. The message is user defined.
Each port can read the other po rt’s mailbox without resetting
the interrupt. The active state of the busy signal (to a port)
prevents the port from setting the interrupt to the winning port.
Also, an active busy to a port prevents that port from reading
its own mailbox and, thus, resetting the interrupt to it.
If an application does not require message passing, do not
connect the interrupt pin to the processor ’s interrupt request
input pin.
The operati on of the interrupts and their interaction with Busy
are summa rized in Table 2.
Busy
The CY7C024AV/025AV/026AV and CY7C0241AV/0251AV/
036AV provide on-chip arbitration to resolve simultaneous
memory location access (contention). If both ports’ CEs are
asserted and an address match occurs within tPS of each
other, the busy logic will dete rmine which port has access. If
tPS is violated, one port will definitely gain permission to the
location, but it is not predictable which port will get that
permission. BUSY will be asserted tBLA after an address
match or tBLC after CE is taken LOW.
Master/Slave
A M/S pin is provided in order to expand the word width by
configuring the device as either a master or a slave. The BUSY
output of the master is connected to the BUSY input of the
slave. This will allow the device to interface to a master device
with no external components. Writing to slave devices must be
delayed until after the BUSY input has settled (tBLC or tBLA),
otherwise, the slave chip may begin a write cycle during a
contention situation. When tied HIGH, th e M/S pin allows the
device to be used as a master and, therefore, the BUSY line
is an output. BUSY can then be used to send the arbitration
outcome to a slave.
Semaphore Operation
The CY7C024AV/025AV/026AV and CY7C0241AV/0251AV/
036AV provide eight semaphore latch es, which are separate
from the dual-port memory locations. Semaphores are used to
reserve resources that are shared between the two ports. The
state of the semaphore indicates that a resource is in use. For
example, if the left port wants to request a given resource, it
sets a latch by writing a zero to a semaphore location. The left
port then verifies its success in setting the latch by reading it.
After writing to the semaphore, SEM or OE must be
deasserted for tSOP before attempting to read the semaphore.
The semaphore value will be avai lable tSWRD + tDOE after the
rising edge of the semaphore write. If the left port was
successful (reads a zero), it assumes control of the shared
resource, otherwise (reads a one) it assumes the right port has
control and continues to poll the semaphore. When the right
side has relinquished control of the semaphore (by writing a
one), the left side will succeed in gaining control of the
semaphore. If the left side no longer requires the semaphore,
a one is written to cancel its request.
Semaphores are accessed by asserting SEM LOW. The SEM
pin functions as a chip select for the semaphore latches (CE
must remain HIGH during SEM LOW). A0–2 represents the
semaphore address. OE and R/W are used in the same
manner as a normal memory access. When writing or reading
a semaphore, the other add ress pins have no effect.
When writing to the semaphore, o nly I/O0 is used. If a zero i s
written to the left port of an available semaphore, a one will
appear at the same semaphore address on the right port. That
semaphore can now only be modified by the side showing zero
(the left port in this case). If the left port now relinquishes
control by writing a one to the semaphore, the semaphore will
be set to one for both sides. However, if the right port had
requested the semaphore (written a zero) while the left port
had control, the right port would immediately own the
semaphore as soon as the left port released it. Table 3 shows
sample semaphore operations.
When reading a semaphore, all sixteen/eighteen data lines
output the sema phore value. The read value is latched in an
output register to prevent the semaphore from changing state
during a write from the other port. If both ports attempt to
access the semaphore within tSPS of each other, the
semaphore will definitely be obtained by one side or the other,
but there is no guarantee which side will control the
semaphore.

Data Retention Mode
The CY7C024AV/025AV/026AV and CY7C0241AV/0251AV/
036AV are designed with battery backup in mind. Data
retention voltage and supply current are guaranteed over
temperature. The following rules ensure data retention:
1. Chip Enable (C E) must be held HIGH during data retention,
within VCC to VCC – 0.2V.
2. CE must be kept between VCC – 0.2V and 70% of VCC
during the power-up and power-down transitions .
3. The RAM can beg in operation >tRC after V CC reaches the
minimum operating voltage (3.0V).
Notes:
24. For information on port-to-port delay through RAM cells from writing port to reading port, refer to Read Timing with Busy waveform.
25. Test conditions used are Load 2.
26. tBDD is a calculated parameter and is the greater of tWDD – tPWE (actual) or tDDD – tSD (actual).

Notes:
33. R/W must be HIGH during all address transiti ons.
34. A write occurs during the overlap (tSCE or tPWE) of a LOW CE or SEM and a LOW UB or LB.
35. tHA is measured from the earlier of CE or R/W or (SEM or R/W) going HIGH at the end of write cycle.
36. If OE is LOW during a R/W controlled write cycle, the write pulse wid th must be the larger of tPWE or (tHZWE + tSD) to allow t he I/O drivers to tur n off and da ta
to be placed on t he bus for the r equired tSD. If OE is HIGH duri ng an R/W cont rolled write cycle, this requireme nt does not apply and the wr ite pul se can be
as short as the specified tPWE.
37. To access RAM, CE = VIL, SEM = VIH.
38. To access upper byte, CE = VIL, UB = VIL, SEM = VIH.
To access lower byte, CE = VIL, LB = VIL, SEM = VIH.
39. Transition is measured ±500 mV from steady state with a 5-pF load (including scope and jig). This parameter is sampled and not 100% tested.
40. During this period, the I/O pins are in the output state, and input signals must not be applied.
41. If the CE or SEM LOW transition occurs simulta neously with or after the R/W LOW transition, the outputs remain in the high-impedance stat e.

Notes:
42. CE = HIGH for the duration of the above timing (both write and read cycle).
43. I/O0R = I/O0L = LOW (request semaphore); CER = CEL = HIGH.
44. Semaphores are reset (available to both ports) at cycle start.
