Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number suffix matches the required speed grade and temperature rating before ordering. Confirm that the BGA-165 footprint aligns with the target PCB design. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to the manufacturing region. Check for moisture sensitivity levels to determine proper handling and storage conditions during assembly.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36 Mbit density with a 18-bit word width is required for parallel interfaces. The 400 MHz speed capability makes it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications. Consider the 165-ball BGA package constraints and the specific 1.8V or 1.5V power domain requirements of the system design.

Memory IC Part Context

This device belongs to the SigmaQuad-II series of DDR SRAMs produced by GSI Technology. The series offers various densities and organizations tailored for high-speed data processing.
