The IDT7005S35PFG is a high-speed CMOS Dual-Port Static RAM (SRAM) device from Integrated Device Technology (IDT). It is designed for applications requiring asynchronous, concurrent access to a shared memory space from two independent ports. The 'S35' designation typically indicates a speed grade, with '35' corresponding to an access time of 3.5ns. This part features an 8K x 8 organization.
Applications
- Inter-processor communication
- Shared memory in multiprocessor systems
- High-speed data buffering
- Image processing
- Digital signal processing (DSP)
- Network switches and routers
- Video processing equipment
Features
- Organization: 8K x 8 (64K bits)
- Access Time: 3.5ns (as indicated by 'S35')
- Dual-Ported: Allows simultaneous access from two independent ports.
- Asynchronous Operation: No clock required for data access.
- Low Power Consumption: CMOS technology for efficient power usage.
- Interrupt Flags: Provides interrupt flags to signal memory status (e.g., empty, full).
- BUSY Flag: Indicates when a port is accessing a memory location.
- Package: Typically packaged in a PQFP (Plastic Quad Flat Pack) for surface mounting.
- Operating Voltage: Typically operates at 5V.
Benefits
- High-Speed Access: Enables very fast data transfer between processors or systems.
- Concurrent Access: Allows simultaneous read and write operations from two independent sources, improving system throughput.
- Simplified System Design: Asynchronous operation simplifies timing considerations.

- Efficient Inter-Processor Communication: Provides a reliable and efficient mechanism for processors to share data.
Additional Details
The IDT7005S35PFG utilizes arbitration logic to prevent conflicts when both ports attempt to access the same memory location simultaneously. The BUSY flag provides a mechanism for external logic to determine when a port is actively accessing the memory. The interrupt flags can be used to trigger interrupt routines when the memory reaches a certain state (e.g., full or empty). The specific operating temperature range should be verified in the datasheet. Proper power supply decoupling is essential for stable operation. Because of its high speed, careful PCB layout practices are necessary to minimize signal reflections and ensure signal integrity.
