Truth Table V — Address BUSY Arbritration
(4)
NOTES:
1. Pins BUSY
L and BUSYR are both outputs when the part is configured as a master. Both are inputs when configured as a slave. BUSY outputs on the IDT70V27 are
push-pull, not open drain outputs. On slaves the BUSY input internally inhibits writes.
2. "L" if the inputs to the opposite port were stable prior to the address and enable inputs of this port. "H" if the inputs to the opposite port became stable after the address
and enable inputs of this port. If t
APS is not met, either BUSYL or BUSYR = LOW will result. BUSYL and BUSYR outputs can not be LOW simultaneously.
3. Writes to the left port are internally ignored when BUSY
L outputs are driving LOW regardless of actual logic level on the pin. Writes to the right port are internally ignored
when BUSY
R outputs are driving LOW regardless of actual logic level on the pin.
4. Refer to Chip Enable Truth Table.
Truth Table VI — Example of Semaphore Procurement Sequence
(1,2)
NOTES:
1. This table denotes a sequence of events for only one of the eight semaphores on the IDT70V27.
2. There are eight semaphore flags written to via I/O
0 and read from all the I/O's (I/O0-I/O15). These eight semaphores are addressed by A0 - A2.
Functional Description
The IDT70V27 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 IDT70V27 has an automatic power down feature
controlled by CE0 and CE1. The CE0 and CE1 control the on-chip power
down circuitry that permits the respective port to go into a standby mode
when not selected (CE HIGH). When a port is enabled, access to the entire
memory array is permitted.
Interrupts
If the user chooses the interrupt function, a memory location (mail box
or message center) is assigned to each port. The left port interrupt flag
(INTL) is asserted when the right port writes to memory location 7FFE
(HEX), where a write is defined as CER = R/WR = VIL per the Truth Table
IV. The left port clears the interrupt through access of address location
7FFE when CE
L = OEL = VIL, R/W is a "don't care". Likewise, the right
port interrupt flag (INTR) is asserted when the left port writes to memory
location 7FFF (HEX) and to clear the interrupt flag (INTR), the
right port must read the memory location 7FFF. The message (16 bits) at
7FFE or 7FFF is user-defined since it is an addressable SRAM location.
If the interrupt function is not used, address locations 7FFE and 7FFF are
not used as mail boxes, but as part of the random access memory. Refer
to Truth Table IV for the interrupt operation.
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 70V27 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.
Figure 3. Busy and chip enable routing for both width and depth
expansion with IDT70V27 RAMs.
Width Expansion with BUSY Logic
Master/Slave Arrays
When expanding an IDT70V27 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 IDT70V27 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 is 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
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 IDT70V27 is a fast Dual-Port 32K 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
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 II where CE and SEM are both HIGH.
Systems which can best use the IDT70V27 contain multiple processors
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 IDT70V27's hardware sema-
phores, 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 IDT70V27 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.
