7008L12PFI8

Memory IC Overview

The Renesas 7008L12PFI8 is a dual-port asynchronous SRAM memory IC with a total capacity of 512Kb, organized as 64K words by 8 bits. It features a parallel interface and supports a fast access time of 12 ns, which also corresponds to the write cycle time for both word and page modes. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and is rated for an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It is housed in a 100-TQFP package measuring 14x14 mm, designed for surface mount installation.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Dual-port architecture enabling independent simultaneous access from two separate processors or systems
• Asynchronous operation allowing flexible timing integration without requiring a global clock signal
• High-speed data transfer capabilities with 12 ns access time for efficient system performance

Memory IC Applications

• Data buffering in high-speed communication interfaces
• Cache memory implementation in embedded processing systems
• FIFO buffer applications in digital signal processing chains

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors due to discontinuation status. Confirm RoHS3 compliance and MSL level 3 handling requirements during storage and assembly. Check for specific EOL notices regarding final purchase dates and last-time buy windows. Ensure packaging specifications match production line requirements for reel-based surface mount technology.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-port functionality is required for concurrent read/write operations between distinct bus masters. The 12 ns speed grade suits applications demanding faster throughput than the 20 ns variants. Consider the 100-TQFP footprint for PCB layout compatibility. Evaluate power consumption characteristics against system thermal constraints within the specified operating voltage range.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the IDT 7008L series of dual-port SRAMs, originally developed by Integrated Device Technology before its acquisition by Renesas. The series offers various speed grades and package options to support diverse embedded memory needs. The 7008L12 variant specifically targets high-performance applications requiring rapid data exchange between multiple processing units.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Consider the 7008L20PFGI8 for similar dual-port functionality if slower 20 ns speeds are acceptable. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters before substituting. Check for updated manufacturing sources under the Renesas brand name.
