CY7C1515V18-167BZC

Memory IC Overview

The CY7C1515V18-167BZC is a 72-Mbit QDR-II SRAM with a 4-word burst architecture. It features separate independent read and write data ports supporting concurrent transactions. The device operates at a maximum frequency of 167 MHz, utilizing Double Data Rate interfaces on both ports for high bandwidth. It employs a single multiplexed address input bus and includes echo clocks to simplify data capture in high-speed systems.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• QDR-II architecture with separate read and write ports for concurrent operations
• Double Data Rate interfaces on both read and write ports
• Echo clocks (CQ and CQ) for simplified data capture
• Single multiplexed address input bus for read and write ports

Memory IC Applications

• High-performance networking equipment
• Telecommunications infrastructure
• Data communication systems requiring low latency

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix matches the required operating frequency. Confirm package type and RoHS compliance status as variants exist. Check manufacturer documentation for lead time and availability updates, as this component may be subject to lifecycle changes or obsolescence notices.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select based on required memory organization (2M x 36) and interface speed. Ensure system design supports the 1.8V core voltage and appropriate I/O voltage levels. Consider thermal management requirements for the FBGA package and verify clock distribution network compatibility with the DLL and echo clock features.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the Cypress CY7C1515V18 family of QDR-II SRAMs. It shares architectural similarities with other members like CY7C1511V18 and CY7C1513V18 but differs in density and width. The family utilizes synchronous pipelined burst access with dedicated read and write ports.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include CY7C1515JV18-167BZI and CY7C1515J18-167BZC. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
