GS8342Q36BGD-250I

Memory IC Overview

The GS8342Q36BGD-250I is a 36 Mbit Quad Port Synchronous SRAM manufactured by GSI Technology Inc. It features a memory organization of 1M x 36 and operates at a maximum clock frequency of 250 MHz. The device supports dual voltage inputs, with a minimum supply voltage of 1.7 V and a maximum of 1.9 V. It utilizes a parallel interface and is housed in a 165-pin FBGA package. The component is rated for an industrial operating temperature range from -40°C to +100°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Quad-port architecture enabling simultaneous independent access to four data ports
• Synchronous operation supporting high-speed data transfer rates up to 250 MHz
• Dual voltage capability allowing flexible integration with 1.8V or 1.5V systems

Memory IC Applications

• High-performance networking equipment requiring low-latency packet buffering
• Telecommunications infrastructure utilizing synchronous data processing
• Industrial control systems demanding wide operating temperature stability

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C) as distinct from commercial variants. Confirm the 165-pin FBGA footprint matches the target PCB design. Ensure power supply rails strictly adhere to the 1.7V to 1.9V specification to prevent operational failure. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for moisture sensitivity levels and reflow soldering profiles.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when quad-port bandwidth is required for complex data routing tasks. The synchronous interface simplifies timing constraints compared to asynchronous alternatives. Consider the 165-pin BGA package size for board space limitations. Verify that the 250 MHz speed meets the system's throughput requirements without excessive latency.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the GS8342 series of synchronous SRAMs from GSI Technology. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the GS8342T36BGD but differs in port configuration. The series is designed for applications needing high reliability and fast access times in embedded environments.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the GS8342T36BGD-250I for triple-port configurations or the GS8342S36BGD-250I for single-port needs, provided pin compatibility and performance metrics align with the system design.
