7008L12G

Memory IC Overview

The Renesas 7008L12G is a high-speed 64K x 8 dual-port static RAM with a 512K-bit density. It features a 12 ns cycle time and operates on a single 5V TTL-compatible supply (4.5V to 5.5V). The device supports fully asynchronous operation from either port, allowing simultaneous reads of the same memory location. It includes on-chip hardware support for semaphore signaling and port arbitration logic. The component is available in a VFBGA package and supports industrial temperature ranges.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• True dual-ported memory cells enabling simultaneous independent access
• Automatic power-down feature controlled by chip enable for low standby power
• On-chip hardware support for semaphore signaling between ports
• Full on-chip port arbitration logic

Memory IC Applications

• Stand-alone 512K-bit dual-port RAM systems
• Master/slave dual-port RAM configurations for 16-bit or wider data bus expansion
• High-speed data handling applications requiring concurrent port access

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify current availability as this part number may be obsolete or discontinued. Confirm package type compatibility, specifically the VFBGA configuration, against your PCB design requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status and ensure the operating voltage range matches your system's power supply specifications before procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when true dual-port functionality with simultaneous read access is required. It is suitable for systems needing hardware-based semaphore signaling and port arbitration without external logic. Ensure the 12 ns speed meets your timing constraints and that the VFBGA package fits your assembly capabilities.
