A 65-nm, 144-Mbit monolithic SRAM from Cypress Semiconductor

Cypress Semiconductor has introduced a 65-nm, 144-Mbit monolithic SRAMs that features a clock speed of 550 MHz, a total data rate of 80 Gbps in a 36-bit I/O width QDRII device, and consume half the power of 90-nm SRAMs. These SRAM's are suitable for networking applications such as Internet core and edge routers, fixed and modular Ethernet switches, 3G base stations and secure routers, and also enhance the performance of medical imaging and military signal processing systems.

Cypress's 65-nm QDR and DDR SRAMs consume 50% low standby and dynamic current compared to its 90nm cousins. The QDRII and DDRII devices feature On-Die Termination (ODT) eliminating external termination resistors. The 65-nm devices use a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) instead of a Delay Locked Loop (DLL) to allow 35 % wide data valid window to simplify board-level timing closure.

Package:
65-nm 144-Mbit SRAMs: 165 FBGA packages

Availability:
65-nm 144-Mbit SRAMs: Now

The CY7C16xxKV18 65-nm QDRII, QDRII, DDRII and DDRII SRAMs are currently sampling, with production expected in Q1 2010.
