7008L12PFI

Memory IC Overview

The Renesas Electronics Corporation 7008L12PFI is a dual-port static random-access memory (SRAM) integrated circuit. It provides a storage capacity of 512 kilobits, organized as 64K words by 8 bits. The device utilizes an asynchronous parallel interface with a maximum access time and write cycle time of 12 nanoseconds. It operates on a single 5-volt power supply within a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. The component is housed in a 100-lead Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP) package measuring 14x14 mm, designed for surface-mount installation.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Dual-port architecture enabling independent simultaneous read/write operations from two distinct processor ports.

Memory IC Applications

• High-speed data buffering in telecommunications systems
• Cache memory implementation in embedded processing units
• Data acquisition systems requiring rapid temporary storage

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PFI' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and lead finish specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to procurement. Check for end-of-life notifications or obsolescence notices from Renesas Electronics to ensure long-term availability for production planning.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 512Kb dual-port SRAM with 12ns speed is required in a 100-TQFP package. Ensure the system design supports 5V logic levels and requires independent port access. Compare against variants like 7008L20PFI if slower speeds are acceptable for cost reduction, or 70V261 series for different organization needs.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the IDT 7008 family of high-performance dual-port SRAMs manufactured by Renesas Electronics. The family offers various speed grades and packaging options to suit different performance requirements. The 7008L12 variant specifically targets applications needing faster cycle times compared to the 20ns or 15ns versions.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as the 7008L15PF or 7008L20PFI if speed requirements allow. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility with other 100-TQFP dual-port SRAMs from Renesas or former IDT product lines before substitution.
