The CY7C132, CY7C136, CY7C136A, CY7C142, and CY7C146 are high speed CMOS 2K x 8 dual-port static RAMs. Two ports are provided to permit independent access to any location in memory. The CY7C132, CY7C136, and CY7C136A can be used as either a standalone 8-bit dual-port static RAM or as a MASTER dual-port RAM, in conjunction with the CY7C142/CY7C146 SLAVE dual-port device. They are used in systems that require 16-bit or greater word widths. This is the solution to applications that require shared or buffered data, such as cache memory for DSP, bit-slice, or multiprocessor designs.
