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

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.
WIDTH EXPANSION WITH BUSY LOGIC
MASTER/SLAVE ARRAYS
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 IDT7005 RAM the busy pin is
an output if the part is used as a master (M/

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.

SEMAPHORES
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.
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
