reasonforthisiseasilyunderstoodbylookingatthesimplelogicdiagram
ofthesemaphoreflaginFigure4.Twosemaphorerequestlatchesfeed

is requested and the processor which requested it no longer needs the
resource, the entire system can hang up until a one is written into that
semaphorerequestlatch.
The critical case of semaphore timing is when both sides request a
single token by attempting to write a zero into it at the same time. The
semaphorelogicisspeciallydesignedtoresolvethisproblem.Ifsimulta-
neousrequestsaremade,thelogicguaranteesthatonlyonesidereceives
thetoken. Ifonesideisearlierthantheotherinmakingtherequest, the
firstsidetomaketherequestwillreceivethetoken.Ifbothrequestsarrive
at the same time, the assignment will be arbitrarily made to one port or
the other.
One caution that should be noted when using semaphores is that

Aswithanypowerfulprogrammingtechnique,ifsemaphoresaremisused
or misinterpreted, a software error can easily happen.

The eight semaphore flags reside within the IDT7005 in a separate
memoryspacefromtheDual-PortRAM.Thisaddressspaceisaccessed
byplacingaLOWinputontheSEMpin(whichactsasachipselectforthe
semaphore flags) and using the other control pins (Address, OE, and
R/W) as they would be used in accessing a standard static RAM. Each
