GS8160Z36DGT-333I

Memory IC Overview

The GS8160Z36DGT-333I is an 18Mbit Synchronous Static RAM with a 512K x 36 organization. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 333 MHz, providing a 4.5 ns access time in Flow Through mode and 2.5 ns in Pipeline mode. The device supports 2.5 V or 3.3 V core and I/O supplies within +10%/-10% tolerances. It utilizes a 100-lead TQFP package and features NBT functionality for zero wait read-write-read transitions.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• NBT architecture enables zero wait state bus utilization during read-to-write transitions.
• User-configurable operation between Pipeline and Flow Through modes via the FT pin.
• Supports Linear or Interleaved Burst sequences controlled by the LBO pin.
• Includes automatic power-down capabilities through the ZZ pin.

Memory IC Applications

• High-speed data buffering in network infrastructure equipment
• Cache memory implementation in telecommunications systems
• FIFO buffers in digital signal processing applications

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number suffix matches the required temperature range and speed grade. Confirm supply voltage compatibility with the target system design. Ensure the ordering suffix corresponds to the correct RoHS compliance status and package type before finalizing procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when zero turnaround latency is critical for system throughput. Choose between Pipeline or Flow Through modes based on specific timing requirements. Verify that the 100-pin TQFP footprint fits the PCB layout constraints and that the operating temperature range meets environmental specifications.

Memory IC Part Context

This device belongs to the GS8160Z series of 18Mb Synchronous SRAMs manufactured by GSI Technology. It shares functional compatibility with other NBT, ZBT, and NoBL devices from the manufacturer, allowing for potential migration paths within existing designs requiring high-bandwidth memory solutions.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include GS8160Z36DGT-375I and GS8160Z36DGT-250I from the same family. These parts maintain identical pinouts and functionality but offer different speed grades. Verify electrical characteristics against the new speed rating before replacement.
