Nonvolatile SRAMs expand to 8Mbit
New 2 and 8Mbit nvSRAMs feature access times as low as 20ns, infinite read, write and recall cycles, and 20-year data retention.
The 1M x 36bit bidirectional FIFOs provide two independent ports, each capable of handling 36bit at up to 133MHz.
The ports are fully independent and allow simultaneous read and write operations, enabling easy interfacing between critical system components.
These communications memories now are available in both 3.3 and 5 V versions, packaged in both 120- and 128-pin TQFPs.
"Offering up to 10Gbit/s of total bandwidth, these FIFOs are consistent with Cypress's strategy to maximise specialty memory bandwidths, a critical attribute in bandwidth-hungry datacomms applications", said Richard Quon, Cypress product marketing manager for communications memories.
"This family of products represent yet another high performance Cypress product to service the bandwidth needs of our communications customers while also addressing the trend toward lower operating voltages".
Production quantities of the CY7C436X2AV, CY7C436X3AV, CY7C436X4AV, and CY7C436X6AV families are available now.
Prices start at $24 in quantities of 100K or more.
