Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'J' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and package dimensions. Ensure the 12ns speed grade matches your system timing requirements. Confirm lead content status if RoHS compliance is mandatory for your assembly process. Cross-reference the SOJ-44 footprint with your PCB design files before ordering.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-bit wide memory interface is required alongside high-speed access times. The BICMOS process offers a balance between speed and power consumption suitable for commercial applications. Consider the physical size of the SOJ-44 package during mechanical layout planning to ensure adequate clearance on the circuit board.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to Samsung's legacy standard SRAM portfolio, designed for general-purpose memory applications. It represents an earlier generation of high-speed static RAM solutions compared to modern CMOS-based alternatives. The product line focuses on providing robust performance for embedded controllers and industrial machinery where proven reliability is prioritized over miniaturization.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 256Kx16 organization, 12ns speed, and SOJ-44 package. Verify voltage levels and logic compatibility with existing system designs before substituting.
