Description
The IDT7026 is a high-speed 16K x 16 Dual-Port Static RAM. The
IDT7026 is designed to be used as a stand-alone Dual-Port RAM or as
a combination MASTER/SLAVE Dual-Port RAM for 32-bit-or-more word
systems. Using the IDT MASTER/SLAVE Dual-Port RAM approach in 32-
bit or wider memory system applications results in full-speed, error-free
operation without the need for additional discrete logic.
This device provides two independent ports with separate control,
address, and I/O pins that permit independent, asynchronous access for
reads or writes to any location in memory. An automatic power down
feature controlled by CE permits the on-chip circuitry of each port to enter
a very low standby power mode.
Fabricated using CMOS high-performance technology, these de-
vices typically operate on only 750mW of power.
The IDT7026 is packaged in a ceramic 84-pin PGA, and a 84-pin
PLCC. Military grade product is manufactured in compliance with MIL-
PRF-38535 QML, making it ideally suited to military temperature appli-
cations demanding the highest level of performance and reliability.
Pin Configurations(1,2,3)
NOTES:
1. All Vcc pins must be connected to the power supply.
2. All GND pins must be connected to the ground supply.
3. Package body is approximately 1.15 in x 1.15 in x .17 in.
4. This package code is used to reference the package diagram.
5. This text does not indicate orientation of the actual part-marking.

Timing Wa vef orm of Write Cyc le No. 1, R/W Controlled Timing(1,5,8)
NOTES:
1. R/W or CE or UB and LB = VIH during all address transitions.
2. A write occurs during the overlap (tEW or tWP) of a VIL CE = VIL and R/W = VIL for memory array writing cycle.
3. tWR is measured from the earlier of CE or R/W (or SEM or R/W) going VIH to the end of write cycle.
4. During this period, the I/O pins are in the output state and input signals must not be applied.
5. If the CE or SEM = VIL transition occurs simultaneously with or after the R/W = VIL transition, the outputs remain in the High-impedance state.
6. Timing depends on which enable signal is asserted last, CE or R/W.
7 . This parameter is guaranteed by device characterization, but is not production tested. Transition is measured 0mV from steady state with the Output Test Load (Figure
2).
8. If OE = VIL during R/W controlled write cycle, the write pulse width must be the larger of tWP or (tWZ + tDW) to allow the I/O drivers to turn off and data to be placed
on the bus for the required tDW. If OE = VIH during an R/W controlled write cycle, this requirement does not apply and the write pulse can be as short as the
specified tWP.
9. To access RAM, CE = VIL and SEM = VIH. To access semaphore, CE = VIH and SEM = VIL. tEW must be met for either condition.

Functional Description
The IDT7026 provides two ports with separate control, address and
I/O pins that permit independent access for reads or writes to any location
in memory. The IDT7026 has an automatic power down feature controlled
by CE. The CE controls on-chip power down circuitry that permits the
respective port to go into a standby mode when not selected (CE = VIH).
When a port is enabled, access to the entire memory array is permitted.
Busy Logic
Busy Logic provides a hardware indication that both ports of the RAM
have accessed the same location at the same time. It also allows one of the
two accesses to proceed and signals the other side that the RAM is “Busy”.
The BUSY pin can then be used to stall the access until the operation on
the other side is completed. If a write operation has been attempted from
the side that receives a BUSY indication, the write signal is gated internally
to prevent the write from proceeding.
The use of BUSY logic is not required or desirable for all applications.
In some cases it may be useful to logically OR the BUSY outputs together
and use any BUSY indication as an interrupt source to flag the event of
an illegal or illogical operation. If the write inhibit function of BUSY logic is
not desirable, the BUSY logic can be disabled by placing the part in slave
mode with the M/S pin. Once in slave mode the BUSY pin operates solely
as a write inhibit input pin. Normal operation can be programmed by tying
the BUSY pins HIGH. If desired, unintended write operations can be
prevented to a port by tying the BUSY pin for that port LOW.
The BUSY outputs on the IDT 7026 RAM in master mode, are push-
pull type outputs and do not require pull up resistors to operate. If these
RAMs are being expanded in depth, then the BUSY indication for the
resulting array requires the use of an external AND gate.
NOTES:
1. Pins BUSYL and BUSYR are both outputs when the part is configured as a
master. Both are inputs when configured as a slave. BUSYX outputs on the
IDT7026 are push pull, not open drain outputs. On slaves the BUSYX input
internally inhibits writes.
2. LOW if the inputs to the opposite port were stable prior to the address and enable
inputs of this port. HIGH if the inputs to the opposite port became stable after the
address and enable inputs of this port. If tAPS is not met, either BUSYL or BUSYR
= LOW will result. BUSYL and BUSYR outputs cannot be LOW simultaneously.
3. Writes to the left port are internally ignored when BUSYL outputs are driving LOW
regardless of actual logic level on the pin. Writes to the right port are internally
ignored when BUSYR outputs are driving LOW regardless of actual logic level
on the pin.
array and another master indicating BUSY on one other side of the array.
This would inhibit the write operations from one port for part of a word and
inhibit the write operations from the other port for the other part of the word.
The BUSY arbitration on a master is based on the chip enable and
address signals only. It ignores whether an access is a read or write. In
a master/slave array, both address and chip enable must be valid long
enough for a BUSY flag to be output from the master before the actual write
pulse can be initiated with either the R/W signal or the byte enables. Failure
to observe this timing can result in a glitched internal write inhibit signal and
corrupted data in the slave.
Semaphores
The IDT7026 is an extremely fast Dual-Port 16K x 16 CMOS Static
RAM with an additional 8 address locations dedicated to binary semaphore
flags. These flags allow either processor on the left or right side of the Dual-
Port RAM to claim a privilege over the other processor for functions defined
by the system designer’s software. As an example, the semaphore can
be used by one processor to inhibit the other from accessing a portion of
the Dual-Port RAM or any other shared resource.
The Dual-Port RAM features a fast access time, and both ports are
completely independent of each other. This means that the activity on the
left port in no way slows the access time of the right port. Both ports are
identical in function to standard CMOS Static RAM and can be read from,
or written to, at the same time with the only possible conflict arising from the
simultaneous writing of, or a simultaneous READ/WRITE of, a non-
semaphore location. Semaphores are protected against such ambiguous
situations and may be used by the system program to avoid any conflicts
Width Expansion with BUSY Logic
Master/Slave Arrays
When expanding an IDT7026 RAM array in width while using BUSY
logic, one master part is used to decide which side of the RAM array will
receive a BUSY indication, and to output that indication. Any number of
slaves to be addressed in the same address range as the master use the
BUSY signal as a write inhibit signal. Thus on the IDT7026 RAM the BUSY
pin is an output if the part is used as a master (M/S pin = VIH), and the BUSY
pin is an input if the part used as a slave (M/S pin = VIL) as shown in
Figure 3.
If two or more master parts were used when expanding in width, a split
decision could result with one master indicating BUSY on one side of the
Figure 3. Busy and chip enable routing for both width and depth
expansion with IDT7026 RAMs.

in the non-semaphore portion of the Dual-Port RAM. These devices have
an automatic power-down feature controlled by CE, the Dual-Port RAM
enable, and SEM, the semaphore enable. The CE and SEM pins control
on-chip power down circuitry that permits the respective port to go into
standby mode when not selected. This is the condition which is shown in
Truth Table I where CE and SEM = VIH.
Systems which can best use the IDT7026 contain multiple proces-
sors or controllers and are typically very high-speed systems which
are software controlled or software intensive. These systems can
benefit from a performance increase offered by the IDT7026's hardware
semaphores, which provide a lockout mechanism without requiring
complex programming.
Software handshaking between processors offers the maximum in
system flexibility by permitting shared resources to be allocated in varying
configurations. The IDT7026 does not use its semaphore flags to control
any resources through hardware, thus allowing the system designer total
flexibility in system architecture.
An advantage of using semaphores rather than the more common
methods of hardware arbitration is that wait states are never incurred in
either processor. This can prove to be a major advantage in very high-
speed systems.
How the Semaphore Flags Work
The semaphore logic is a set of eight latches which are independent
of the Dual-Port RAM. These latches can be used to pass a flag, or token,
from one port to the other to indicate that a shared resource is in use. The
semaphores provide a hardware assist for a use assignment method
called “Token Passing Allocation.” In this method, the state of a semaphore
latch is used as a token indicating that shared resource is in use. If the left
processor wants to use this resource, it requests the token by setting the
latch. This processor then verifies its success in setting the latch by reading
it. If it was successful, it proceeds to assume control over the shared
resource. If it was not successful in setting the latch, it determines that the
right side processor has set the latch first, has the token and is using the
shared resource. The left processor can then either repeatedly request
that semaphore’s status or remove its request for that semaphore to
perform another task and occasionally attempt again to gain control of the
token via the set and test sequence. Once the right side has relinquished
the token, the left side should succeed in gaining control.
The semaphore flags are active LOW. A token is requested by writing
a zero into a semaphore latch and is released when the same side writes
a one to that latch.
The eight semaphore flags reside within the IDT7026 in a separate
memory space from the Dual-Port RAM. This address space is ac-
cessed by placing a LOW input on the SEM pin (which acts as a chip select
for the semaphore flags) and using the other control pins (Address, OE,
and R/W) as they would be used in accessing a standard Static RAM.
Each of the flags has a unique address which can be accessed by either
side through address pins A0 – A2. When accessing the semaphores,
none of the other address pins has any effect.
When writing to a semaphore, only data pin D0 is used. If a low level
is written into an unused semaphore location, that flag will be set to a zero
on that side and a one on the other side (see Table III). That semaphore
can now only be modified by the side showing the zero. When a one is
written into the same location from the same side, the flag will be set to a
one for both sides (unless a semaphore request from the other side is
pending) and then can be written to by both sides. The fact that the side
which is able to write a zero into a semaphore subsequently locks out writes
from the other side is what makes semaphore flags useful in interprocessor
communications. (A thorough discussion on the use of this feature follows
shortly.) A zero written into the same location from the other side will be
stored in the semaphore request latch for that side until the semaphore is
freed by the first side.
When a semaphore flag is read, its value is spread into all data bits
so that a flag that is a one reads as a one in all data bits and a flag
containing a zero reads as all zeros. The read value is latched into one
side’s output register when that side's semaphore select (SEM) and output
enable (OE) signals go active. This serves to disallow the semaphore from
changing state in the middle of a read cycle due to a write cycle from the
other side. Because of this latch, a repeated read of a semaphore in a test
loop must cause either signal (SEM or OE) to go inactive or the output will
never change.
A sequence WRITE/READ must be used by the semaphore in order
to guarantee that no system level contention will occur. A processor
requests access to shared resources by attempting to write a zero into a
semaphore location. If the semaphore is already in use, the semaphore
request latch will contain a zero, yet the semaphore flag will appear as one,
a fact which the processor will verify by the subsequent read (see Table
III). As an example, assume a processor writes a zero to the left port at a
free semaphore location. On a subsequent read, the processor will verify
that it has written successfully to that location and will assume control over
the resource in question. Meanwhile, if a processor on the right side
attempts to write a zero to the same semaphore flag it will fail, as will be
verified by the fact that a one will be read from that semaphore on the right
side during subsequent read. Had a sequence of READ/WRITE been
used instead, system contention problems could have occurred during the
gap between the read and write cycles.
It is important to note that a failed semaphore request must be followed
by either repeated reads or by writing a one into the same location. The
reason for this is easily understood by looking at the simple logic diagram
of the semaphore flag in Figure 4. Two semaphore request latches feed
into a semaphore flag. Whichever latch is first to present a zero to the
semaphore flag will force its side of the semaphore flag LOW and the other
side HIGH. This condition will continue until a one is written to the same
semaphore request latch. Should the other side’s semaphore request latch
have been written to a zero in the meantime, the semaphore flag will flip
over to the other side as soon as a one is written into the first side’s request
latch. The second side’s flag will now stay LOW until its semaphore request
latch is written to a one. From this it is easy to understand that, if a semaphore
is requested and the processor which requested it no longer needs the
resource, the entire system can hang up until a one is written into that
semaphore request latch.
The critical case of semaphore timing is when both sides request a
single token by attempting to write a zero into it at the same time. The
semaphore logic is specially designed to resolve this problem. If simulta-
neous requests are made, the logic guarantees that only one side receives
the token. If one side is earlier than the other in making the request, the first
side to make the request will receive the token. If both requests arrive at
the same time, the assignment will be arbitrarily made to one port or the
other.
One caution that should be noted when using semaphores is that

section by writing, then reading a zero into Semaphore 1. If it succeeded
in gaining control, it would lock out the left side.
Once the left side was finished with its task, it would write a one to
Semaphore 0 and may then try to gain access to Semaphore 1. If
Semaphore 1 was still occupied by the right side, the left side could undo
its semaphore request and perform other tasks until it was able to write, then
read a zero into Semaphore 1. If the right processor performs a similar task
with Semaphore 0, this protocol would allow the two processors to swap
8K blocks of Dual-Port RAM with each other.
The blocks do not have to be any particular size and can even be
variable, depending upon the complexity of the software using the
semaphore flags. All eight semaphores could be used to divide the Dual-
Port RAM or other shared resources into eight parts. Semaphores can
even be assigned different meanings on different sides rather than being
given a common meaning as was shown in the example above.
Semaphores are a useful form of arbitration in systems like disk
interfaces where the CPU must be locked out of a section of memory during
a transfer and the I/O device cannot tolerate any wait states. With the use
of semaphores, once the two devices has determined which memory area
was “off-limits” to the CPU, both the CPU and the I/O devices could access
their assigned portions of memory continuously without any wait states.
Semaphores are also useful in applications where no memory “WAIT”
state is available on one or both sides. Once a semaphore handshake has
been performed, both processors can access their assigned RAM
segments at full speed.
Another application is in the area of complex data structures. In this
case, block arbitration is very important. For this application one processor
may be responsible for building and updating a data structure. The other
processor then reads and interprets that data structure. If the interpreting
processor reads an incomplete data structure, a major error condition may
exist. Therefore, some sort of arbitration must be used between the two
different processors. The building processor arbitrates for the block, locks
it and then is able to go in and update the data structure. When the update
is completed, the data structure block is released. This allows the
interpreting processor to come back and read the complete data structure,
thereby guaranteeing a consistent data structure.
semaphores alone do not guarantee that access to a resource is secure.
As with any powerful programming technique, if semaphores are mis-
used or misinterpreted, a software error can easily happen.
Initialization of the semaphores is not automatic and must be handled
via the initialization program at power-up. Since any semaphore request
flag which contains a zero must be reset to a one, all semaphores on both
sides should have a one written into them at initialization from both sides
to assure that they will be free when needed.
Using Semaphores—Some Examples
Perhaps the simplest application of semaphores is their application
as resource markers for the IDT7026’s Dual-Port RAM. Say the 16K x
16 RAM was to be divided into two 8K x 16 blocks which were to be
dedicated at any one time to servicing either the left or right port. Semaphore
0 could be used to indicate the side which would control the lower section
of memory, and Semaphore 1 could be defined as the indicator for the
upper section of memory.
To take a resource, in this example the lower 8K of Dual-Port RAM,
the processor on the left port could write and then read a zero in to
Semaphore 0. If this task were successfully completed (a zero was
read back rather than a one), the left processor would assume control
of the lower 8K. Meanwhile the right processor was attempting to gain
control of the resource after the left processor, it would read back a one
in response to the zero it had attempted to write into Semaphore 0. At this
point, the software could choose to try and gain control of the second 8K
