15 ns dual-port SRAM for shared-memory arbitration
The Cypress CY7C131-15NXI is an 8Kbit (organized 1K x 8) dual-port asynchronous SRAM that gives two independent bus masters simultaneous access to a common memory array. The dual-port architecture eliminates the need for external arbitration logic in applications like multiprocessor mailboxes, FIFO buffers, and shared-data stores in industrial controllers or telecom line cards.
5V-only supply — not a 3.3V drop-in
The supply range is 4.5V to 5.5V, so this part cannot be used in a 3.3V-only system without a level translator on the address, data, and control lines.
Cypress (now Infineon) lists the CY7C131-15NXI as obsolete.
