7142LA20JG8

Memory IC Overview

The Renesas Electronics Corporation 7142LA20JG8 is a high-speed, 8Kb (1K x 8) dual-port static random-access memory (SRAM). It operates asynchronously with a maximum access time of 20 ns. The device supports a single 5V power supply within the 4.5V to 5.5V range and features TTL-compatible I/O levels. Packaged in a 52-pin Plastic Leadless Chip Carrier (PLCC), it is designed for surface-mount installation. The component functions as a slave memory unit in parallel architectures.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• True dual-ported memory cells enabling simultaneous independent access to identical memory locations from both ports without conflict.
• Integrated BUSY output flag that signals when a port is occupied, facilitating hardware-based arbitration between accessing devices.
• Automatic power-down capability controlled by chip enable inputs, allowing on-chip circuitry to enter low standby power modes.

Memory IC Applications

• High-speed data buffering in embedded systems requiring concurrent read/write operations.
• Interprocessor communication links where two processors share data via dual-port architecture.
• Slave memory expansion in 16-bit or wider word width systems paired with master dual-port RAM units.

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to end-of-life status. Confirm package integrity and lead condition upon receipt. Check RoHS3 compliance documentation. Validate datasheet revisions against current manufacturing standards. Ensure storage conditions meet moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to soldering.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring true dual-port concurrency with minimal external logic. Suitable for systems needing 20 ns asynchronous access speeds. Verify voltage compatibility with 5V logic families. Consider PLCC footprint constraints during PCB layout. Evaluate thermal performance within the specified commercial temperature range.

Memory IC Part Context
