IS42S16160B-7T-TR

The IS42S16160B-7T-TR is a 256-megabit synchronous DRAM organized as 16M x 16, designed for systems requiring reliable parallel memory with straightforward integration. Built on proven SDRAM technology, this component operates at clock frequencies up to 143 MHz with a 5.4 ns access time, making it suitable for embedded applications where predictable performance and cost-effective memory expansion are priorities.

This TSOP II packaged memory device offers designers a compact footprint with standard 3.3V operation, allowing for easy integration into existing designs while maintaining compatibility with conventional parallel memory interfaces.

Key Features

• Memory Architecture - 256Mbit capacity organized as 16M x 16 configuration provides flexible word-wide data access for embedded systems requiring straightforward parallel addressing.
• Clock Performance - Operates at clock frequencies up to 143 MHz with 5.4 ns access time, delivering consistent throughput for applications with moderate bandwidth requirements.
• Power Supply - Single 3.3V supply (3V to 3.6V range) simplifies power distribution and reduces system complexity compared to multi-rail memory solutions.
• Package - 54-pin TSOP II package (0.400", 10.16mm width) offers a space-efficient form factor suitable for dense PCB layouts in embedded designs.
• Operating Range - Commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C supports standard indoor and temperature-controlled environments.

Typical Applications

• Legacy System Support - This SDRAM provides a replacement or upgrade path for older embedded systems originally designed around parallel memory architectures, allowing manufacturers to extend product lifecycles without complete redesigns.
• Set-Top Boxes and Consumer Electronics - The moderate bandwidth and 3.3V operation make this memory suitable for video processing, UI buffering, and firmware storage in consumer devices operating in controlled temperature environments.
• Office Equipment - Printers, copiers, and multifunction devices benefit from the reliable parallel interface and sufficient capacity for document buffering, page rendering, and embedded controller operations.
• Legacy Industrial Controls - Systems requiring parallel memory interfaces in standard temperature environments can utilize this SDRAM for data logging, HMI buffering, and controller memory where newer DDR technologies are unnecessary.

Unique Advantages

• Simplified Design Integration: Standard parallel interface eliminates complex routing and impedance matching requirements associated with high-speed serial memory, reducing PCB design time and manufacturing costs.
• Single Voltage Operation: 3.3V-only power requirement reduces power supply complexity and component count compared to memories requiring multiple voltage rails.
• Proven Technology Platform: SDRAM architecture has decades of field history, offering predictable behavior and reducing design risk for projects requiring stable, well-understood memory solutions.
• Compact Footprint: TSOP II packaging provides good density for parallel memory while maintaining hand-solderable pitch for prototyping and small-volume production.
• Cost-Effective Capacity: 256Mbit organization delivers sufficient memory for many embedded applications at a price point typically lower than newer memory technologies.
