7018S12PF8

Memory IC Overview

The 7018S12PF8 is a dual-port synchronous static random-access memory (SRAM) integrated circuit manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It provides a total storage capacity of 576 kilobits, organized as 32K words by 18 bits. The device features a parallel interface with a maximum access time of 12 nanoseconds. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 volts to 5.5 volts and supports surface-mount installation in a 64-pin TQFP package. The component is classified as volatile memory technology designed for high-speed data buffering applications.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Dual-port architecture enabling independent simultaneous access from two distinct processors or systems
• Synchronous operation synchronized to a single clock signal for precise timing control
• Parallel interface supporting wide data bus configurations for high-throughput data transfer

Memory IC Applications

• High-speed data buffering between asynchronous system components
• Network switch and router packet buffering systems
• Telecommunications equipment requiring low-latency memory staging

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors due to end-of-life status. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements as the part may not meet current environmental standards. Validate package integrity upon receipt to ensure pin alignment matches the 64-TQFP specification. Review datasheet revisions for any electrical parameter updates prior to final design integration.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-port functionality is required for concurrent read-write operations. Ensure the system design accommodates the 4.5V to 5.5V supply voltage range. Verify that the 12ns access time meets the target application's latency constraints. Consider the 64-TQFP footprint during PCB layout planning to match the specified package dimensions.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the Renesas 7018S series of dual-port SRAMs. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the 7014S and 709279S families but differs in organization and pin count. The series targets industrial and telecommunications markets requiring reliable synchronous memory solutions with independent port access capabilities.
