EM6AA160BKE-4H

Memory IC Overview

The EM6AA160BKE-4H is a 256Mbit DDR SDRAM manufactured by Etron Technology. It features a 16M x 16 memory organization and supports a clock frequency of 250 MHz with an access time of 700 ps (0.7 ns). The device utilizes a parallel interface and is housed in a 60-pin TFBGA package. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, adhering to standard CMOS specifications for synchronous dynamic random-access memory applications.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed data transfer with a maximum clock frequency of 250 MHz
• Features auto-refresh and self-refresh modes for power management
• Utilizes a four-bank page burst access architecture
• Compatible with standard DDR SDRAM voltage levels

Memory IC Applications

• Mobile communication devices requiring compact memory solutions
• Consumer electronics such as digital cameras and MP3 players
• Embedded systems needing low-power synchronous DRAM
• Portable computing hardware with space constraints

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '4H' against the official Etron datasheet to confirm the extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) versus commercial variants. Ensure the 60-TFBGA package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status with current regulatory standards before procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 256Mbit capacity with 16-bit width is required for DDR interfaces. The 250 MHz speed rating suits applications demanding moderate bandwidth. Consider the 60-pin FBGA package size relative to available board space. Compare thermal performance needs against the specified operating temperature range to ensure reliability in the target environment.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to Etron's DDR SDRAM family, designed for mobile and consumer markets. It complements other density options like 128Mbit or 512Mbit variants. The EM6AA series typically shares pinouts and command sets within its generation, facilitating design upgrades or downgrades while maintaining interface compatibility across similar product lines.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes from Etron such as the EM6AB160WKE-4H, noting differences in organization (32Mx16 vs 16Mx16) and package type. Verify that any replacement maintains the 250 MHz speed grade and 60-pin FBGA form factor to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility without redesign.
