AS4C16M16S-6BINTR

The AS4C16M16S-6BINTR from Alliance Memory is a 256-megabit synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) organized as 16M x 16. This parallel-interface DRAM operates at up to 166 MHz clock frequency with a 5.4 ns access time, making it well-suited for embedded systems requiring high-speed volatile memory. The device operates from a 3V to 3.6V supply and is packaged in a compact 54-pin TFBGA (8x8mm) footprint.

Key Features

• Memory Configuration - 256 megabits organized as 16M x 16 provides flexible word-width access for 16-bit data bus architectures commonly found in embedded processors and microcontrollers.
• Performance Specifications - 166 MHz clock frequency with 5.4 ns access time and 12 ns write cycle time delivers responsive memory performance for real-time applications.
• Power Supply - Single 3.0V to 3.6V supply voltage simplifies power management and aligns with standard 3.3V logic levels used in most embedded designs.
• Operating Temperature Range - -40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range ensures reliable operation in challenging thermal environments beyond consumer-grade specifications.
• Package - Compact 54-pin TFBGA in an 8x8mm footprint minimizes board space requirements for space-constrained designs.
• Parallel Interface - Standard parallel memory interface provides straightforward integration with processors and controllers supporting external SDRAM.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control Systems - This SDRAM provides working memory for programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and industrial computers where the extended temperature range supports operation in factory floor environments with varying thermal conditions.
• Embedded Computing - Serves as main system memory or frame buffer in embedded processors and single-board computers that require moderate-density volatile storage with parallel bus compatibility.
• Networking Equipment - Functions as packet buffer or lookup table memory in routers, switches, and network interface cards where 166 MHz operation supports wire-speed packet processing requirements.
• Instrumentation and Test Equipment - Provides data acquisition buffering and waveform storage in measurement instruments where industrial temperature tolerance ensures consistent performance across laboratory and field deployment scenarios.

Unique Advantages

• Industrial Temperature Tolerance: -40°C to 85°C range extends deployment options beyond commercial-grade components, reducing need for thermal management in moderately harsh environments.
• Compact Ball Grid Array Package: 8x8mm TFBGA footprint conserves PCB area compared to larger packages, enabling denser board layouts in size-constrained products.
• Standard Parallel Interface: Direct processor bus compatibility eliminates the need for interface conversion logic, simplifying design and reducing component count.
• Proven SDRAM Technology: Mature synchronous DRAM architecture offers predictable timing characteristics and broad ecosystem support including reference designs and driver software.
• Flexible Organization: 16M x 16 word structure matches common embedded processor data bus widths, minimizing read-modify-write cycles for improved efficiency.
