Architecture
The CY7C144/5 consists of a an array of 8 K words of 8/9 bits
each of dual-port RAM cells, I/O and address lines, and control
signals (CE, OE, R/W). These control pins permit independent
access for reads or writes to any location in memory. To handle
simultaneous writes or reads to the same location, a BUSY pin
is provided on each port. Two interrupt (INT) pins can be used
for port-to-port communication. Two semaphore (SEM) control
pins are used for allocating shared resources. With the M/S pin,
the CY7C144/5 can function as a Master (BUSY pins are
outputs) or as a slave (BUSY pins are inputs). The CY7C144/5
has an automatic power down feature controlled by CE. Each
port is provided with its own output enable control (OE), which
allows data to be read from the device.
Functional Description
Write Operation
Data must be set up for a duration of t
of R/W to guarantee a valid write. A write operation is controlled
by either the OE pin (see
(see Write Cycle No. 2 waveform). Data can be written to the
device t
edge of R/W. Required inputs for non-contention operations are
summarized in
If a location is being written to by one port and the opposite port
attempts to read that location, a port-to-port flowthrough delay
must be met before the data is read on the output; otherwise the
data read is not deterministic. Data will be valid on the port t
after the data is presented on the other port.
Read Operation
When reading the device, the user must assert both the OE and
CE pins. Data will be available t
asserted. If the user of the CY7C144/5 wishes to access a
semaphore flag, then the SEM pin must be asserted instead of
the CE pin.
Interrupts
The interrupt flag (INT) permits communications between
ports.When the left port writes to location 1FFF, the right port’s
interrupt flag (INT
reads that same location. Setting the left port’s interrupt flag

The message at 1FFF or 1FFE is user-defined. See

Busy
The CY7C144/5 provides on-chip arbitration to alleviate
simultaneous memory location access (contention). If both ports’
CEs are asserted and an address match occurs within t
each other the Busy logic determines which port has access. If

Master/Slave
An M/S pin is provided in order to expand the word width by
configuring the device as either a master or a slave. The BUSY
output of the master is connected to the BUSY input of the slave.
This enables the device to interface to a master device with no
external components.Writing of slave devices must be delayed
until after the BUSY input has settled. Otherwise, the slave chip
may begin a write cycle during a contention situation.When
presented a HIGH input, the M/S pin allows the device to be used
as a master and therefore the BUSY line is an output. BUSY can
then be used to send the arbitration outcome to a slave.
Semaphore Operation
The CY7C144/5 provides eight semaphore latches which are
separate from the dual-port memory locations. Semaphores are
used to reserve resources that are shared between the two
ports.The state of the semaphore indicates that a resource is in
use. For example, if the left port wants to request a given
resource, it sets a latch by writing a 0 to a semaphore location.
The left port then verifies its success in setting the latch by
reading it. After writing to the semaphore, SEM or OE must be
deasserted for t
The semaphore value is available t
edge of the semaphore write. If the left port was successful
(reads a 0), it assumes control over the shared resource,
otherwise (reads a 1) it assumes the right port has control and
continues to poll the semaphore.When the right side has
relinquished control of the semaphore (by writing a 1), the left
side will succeed in gaining control of the semaphore. If the left
side no longer requires the semaphore, a 1 is written to cancel
its request.
Semaphores are accessed by asserting SEM LOW. The SEM
pin functions as a chip enable for the semaphore latches (CE
must remain HIGH during SEM LOW). A
semaphore address. OE and R/W are used in the same manner
as a normal memory access.When writing or reading a
semaphore, the other address pins have no effect.
When writing to the semaphore, only I/O
to the left port of an unused semaphore, a 1 appears at the same
semaphore address on the right port. That semaphore can now
only be modified by the side showing 0 (the left port in this case).
If the left port now relinquishes control by writing a 1 to the
semaphore, the semaphore will be set to 1 for both sides.
However, if the right port had requested the semaphore (written
a 0) while the left port had control, the right port would
immediately own the semaphore as soon as the left port released
it.
When reading a semaphore, all eight/nine data lines output the
semaphore value. The read value is latched in an output register
to prevent the semaphore from changing state during a write
from the other port. If both ports attempt to access the
semaphore within t
obtained by one side or the other, but there is no guarantee which
side controls the semaphore.
Initialization of the semaphore is not automatic and must be reset
during initialization program at power-up. All Semaphores on
both sides should have a one written into them at initialization
from both sides to assure that they are free when needed.
