Functional Description

The CY7C144 and CY7C145 are high speed CMOS 8K x 8 and 8K x 9 dual-port static RAMs. Various arbitration schemes are included on the CY7C144/5 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 CY7C144/5 can be used as a standalone 64/72-Kbit dual-port static RAM or multiple devices can be combined in order to function as a 16/18-bit or wider master/slave dual-port static RAM. An M/S pin is provided for implementing 16/18-bit or wider memory applications without the need for separate master and slave devices or additional discrete logic. Appli- cation 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, BUSY and INT, are provided on each port. BUSY signals that the port is trying to access the same location currently being accessed by the other port. The 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 enable (CE) pin or SEM pin.
