Overview of AS4C16M16S-6TAN - 256Mbit Parallel SDRAM
The AS4C16M16S-6TAN is a 256-megabit synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) organized as 16M x 16. Built on proven SDRAM technology, this memory device operates at clock frequencies up to 166MHz with a 5.4ns access time, making it suitable for applications requiring moderate-speed parallel memory access. This DRAM is designed for systems operating in extended temperature ranges from -40°C to 105°C.
Key Features
- Memory Architecture - 256Mbit capacity in a 16M x 16 organization provides efficient data storage for embedded systems and industrial applications.
- Performance Specifications - 166MHz maximum clock frequency with 5.4ns access time and 12ns write cycle time deliver reliable synchronous operation for time-sensitive data processing.
- Power Supply - 3V to 3.6V operating voltage supports standard 3.3V system designs and simplifies power supply requirements.
- Parallel Interface - Traditional parallel memory interface enables straightforward integration with existing system architectures and controllers.
- Package Format - 54-pin TSOP II package (0.400"/10.16mm width) offers industry-standard footprint compatibility for PCB designs.
- Extended Temperature Range - -40°C to 105°C operational capability ensures performance in industrial, automotive-adjacent, and harsh environment applications.
Typical Applications
- Industrial Control Systems - This SDRAM serves as working memory for PLCs, process controllers, and HMI systems where extended temperature tolerance ensures stable operation across factory floor environments.
- Embedded Computing - The parallel interface and moderate clock speed make this device suitable for embedded processors and microcontroller systems requiring buffered data storage and program execution space.
- Legacy System Support - Provides replacement memory for existing designs and equipment that require SDRAM with parallel interface rather than newer serial memory technologies.
- Test and Measurement Equipment - The 256Mbit capacity and synchronous operation support data acquisition systems and instrumentation that capture and process measurement data in real-time.
Unique Advantages
- Extended Temperature Qualification: The -40°C to 105°C range allows deployment in industrial environments without additional thermal management, reducing system complexity.
- Proven SDRAM Technology: Mature synchronous DRAM architecture provides predictable timing characteristics and straightforward controller integration compared to emerging memory types.
- Standard Voltage Operation: 3V to 3.6V supply voltage aligns with common 3.3V system rails, eliminating the need for additional voltage regulators or level shifters.
- Compact TSOP II Package: Industry-standard footprint enables drop-in replacement scenarios and simplifies PCB layout for designs with space constraints.
- Moderate Clock Speed: 166MHz operation balances performance with EMI characteristics and signal integrity requirements in noise-sensitive applications.
