GS8160Z18DGT-250I

Memory IC Overview

The GS8160Z18DGT-250I is a 18 Mbit Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) manufactured by GSI Technology. It features a memory organization of 1 M x 18 and supports a maximum clock frequency of 250 MHz with an access time of 5.5 ns. The device operates on a parallel interface within a TQFP-100 surface-mount package. Power supply requirements range from a minimum of 2.3 V to a maximum of 3.6 V, with peak power consumption reaching up to 230 mA. It functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports NBT (No Bus Turn Around) functionality for zero wait read-write-read bus utilization
• User-configurable Pipeline and Flow Through operating modes
• Includes ZZ pin for automatic power-down capability

Memory IC Applications

• High-speed data buffering in communication systems
• Cache memory implementation in embedded processors
• FIFO buffer applications requiring low latency

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' against official datasheets to confirm industrial temperature rating compliance if required. Confirm RoHS status as documentation varies. Ensure the TQFP-100 footprint matches PCB design constraints. Validate voltage levels against system specifications before integration.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when synchronous SRAM with configurable pipeline or flow-through modes is needed. It offers pin compatibility with other NtRAM, NoBL, and ZBT devices. Consider the 1M x 18 organization and 250 MHz speed for high-bandwidth memory tasks. Verify power supply stability within the 2.3V to 3.6V range.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the GS8160Z18 series of 18Mb Pipelined and Flow Through Synchronous NBT SRAMs. It shares architectural similarities with other GSI Technology memory solutions designed for high-performance computing. The series emphasizes flexibility through user-configurable modes and broad voltage compatibility.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible alternatives within the same family, such as different speed grades or voltage variants. Verify that substitute parts support the required 250 MHz clock frequency and 1M x 18 organization.
