Fastest claim for 16Mbit asynchronous SRAM

Cypress Semiconductor is sampling the industry's fastest, high-performance 16Mbit fast asynchronous family of SRAMs, with a significantly lower active power than its competitors.

Cypress Semiconductor is sampling the industry's fastest, high-performance 16Mbit fast asynchronous family of SRAMs, with a significantly lower active power than its competitors.

These chips target a wide range of communications end markets and address wireless infrastructure and wide area network (WAN) applications such as asymmetrical digital subscriber line (ADSL) modems, digital signal processing (DSP) and optical networking interfaces.

"With the release of the 16Mbit family, Cypress now offers the broadest portfolio of cost-effective, fast asynchronous SRAMs in the market", said Walt Anderson, tactical marketing manager for Cypress's Memory Products Division.

"This new family provides designers with a drop-in replacement to upgrade their existing systems to higher-performance, higher-density SRAM".

The new family of 16Mbit fast asynchronous SRAMs is manufactured using Cypress's 0.15-micron, RAM7 process technology enabling speeds of up to 8ns.

Cypress offers the CY7C1061AV (1M x 16bit) and CY7C1069AV (2M x 8bit) in a 54-pin TSOP II or 48-ball fine-pitch ball grid array package (fBGA).

The CY7C1062AV is offered in a 512K x 32bit configuration and available in a first-to-market, 119-ball plastic ball grid array (PBGA) package.

Samples of the various 16Mbit devices in the asynchronous fast SRAM family - including the x16 and x32, 3.3V- are available now.

Production quantities will be available in September with prices starting at $35 in volumes of 1000 units, based on option features.
