7008S12G

Memory IC Overview

The Renesas Electronics Corporation 7008S12G is a high-speed Dual-Port Static RAM (SRAM) IC. It provides a memory capacity of 512Kbit, organized as 64K words by 8 bits. The device features asynchronous parallel interface operation with a maximum access time of 12 ns. It is housed in an 84-pin Plastic Grid Array (PGA) package with dimensions of 27.94x27.94 mm. This component functions as a stand-alone dual-port memory solution.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Dual-port architecture enabling independent simultaneous access from two separate processors or systems.
• Asynchronous parallel interface for straightforward integration into existing digital logic designs.
• High-speed data transfer capabilities suitable for demanding real-time processing applications.

Memory IC Applications

• Data buffering between asynchronous system components
• Cache memory implementation in embedded controllers
• FIFO buffer storage in communication gateways

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as IDT was acquired by Renesas. Confirm the package type matches the 84-PGA specification and ensure the speed grade corresponds to the 12 ns requirement. Check for RoHS compliance status and date code freshness upon receipt to guarantee component integrity and reliability for your design.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when independent read/write access from two masters is required without complex arbitration logic. The 12 ns speed suits moderate-to-high frequency microprocessor systems. Consider the PGA package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management compared to surface-mount alternatives if space is limited.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the IDT7008 family of high-speed dual-port SRAMs, now manufactured under Renesas Electronics following the acquisition of Integrated Device Technology. These devices are designed for applications requiring high bandwidth and low latency data sharing between processing units.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Check for IDT7008S12SJL or IDT7008S12SF variants which share the same core specifications but differ in package style or temperature range. Ensure any substitute maintains the 84-pin PGA footprint and 12 ns access time.

Memory IC FAQ

Can both ports be accessed simultaneously?

Yes, the dual-port architecture allows independent access from Port A and Port B at the same time.

What is the organization of the memory array?

The memory is organized as 64K words by 8 bits, totaling 512Kbits.
