Functional Description
The CY7C144 and CY7C145 are high-speed CMOS 8K x 8
and 8K x 9 dual-port static RAMs. Various arbitration schemes
8K x 8/9 Dual-Port Static RAM
with Sem, Int, Busy
are included on the CY7C144/5 to handle situations when mul-
tiple 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 utilized 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 mem-
ory applications without the need for separate master and
slave devices or additional discrete logic. Application areas
include interprocessor/multiprocessor designs, communica-
tions 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.

Notes:
1. BUSY is an output in master mode and an input in slave mode.
2. Interrupt: push-pull output and requires no pull-up resistor.
