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.
Design tool bridges high and low levels
Integrated design environment includes both code-free and high-level-language programming modes in one package.
Cypress 8Mbit NetRAM devices provide the industry's first pin-compatible density upgrade for applications currently using the 1 and 4Mbit NetRAM memories from Motorola.
The 8Mbit CY7C1301 NetRAM is configured as a 256K x 36 memory, the 4Mbit CY7C1300 as a 128K x 36 and the 1Mbit CY7C1299a as a 32K x 36.
All the devices have a maximum speed of 133MHz.
Two bidirectional databuses functioning at the same clock rate provide high bandwidth for demanding storage and switch applications.
Like the Motorola devices, the Cypress NetRAMs provide separate data input and output pins and ports, require a 3.3V power supply, and are packaged in a 176-pin TQFP.
The Cypress NetRAM devices address the growing demand for multiport functionality in networking applications.
The NetRAMs' synchronous, two-port design enables users to simultaneously perform read, write and pass-through operations.
Because data flows quickly through the device, system resources can be channelled to improving overall application performance.
Samples of the Cypress NetRAM devices are available now, with production volumes anticipated in the third quarter.
In quantities of 1000 the 8Mbit device will be priced at $65, the 4Mbit device at $45 and the 1Mbit device at $25.
