Key Features

• DDR SDRAM Architecture - Double data rate operation transfers data on both rising and falling clock edges, effectively doubling bandwidth compared to single data rate SDRAM while maintaining the same clock frequency.
• Memory Configuration - 256Mbit capacity organized as 16 million words by 16 bits provides flexible data width for various system architectures, supporting efficient 16-bit parallel data transfers.
• High-Speed Performance - 166MHz clock frequency with 0.7ns access time and 15ns write cycle time enables fast data throughput for time-sensitive applications.
• Power Supply - Operates on 2.3V to 2.7V supply voltage, compatible with standard low-voltage logic levels and reducing overall system power consumption.
• Industrial Temperature Range - Qualified for -40°C to 85°C ambient temperature operation, ensuring reliable performance across industrial, automotive, and outdoor deployment scenarios.
• Compact Package - 60-ball TFBGA (8mm x 13mm) footprint maximizes board space efficiency in space-constrained designs.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Automation Systems - This DDR SDRAM provides high-speed data buffering for programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human-machine interfaces (HMIs), and motion control systems where the extended temperature range ensures reliable operation in factory floor environments subject to temperature variations.
• Networking Equipment - Serves as packet buffer memory in routers, switches, and network appliances where the 166MHz operation supports wire-speed packet processing and the parallel interface simplifies integration with network processors.
• Embedded Computing Platforms - Functions as main system memory in industrial computers, single-board computers, and embedded controllers where the compact TFBGA package conserves valuable board real estate.
• Telecommunications Infrastructure - Provides data storage for base stations, access points, and telecommunications equipment deployed in outdoor cabinets where the industrial temperature rating accommodates environmental temperature swings.
• Test and Measurement Instruments - Offers high-speed data acquisition buffering in oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and automated test equipment where fast write cycles prevent data loss during continuous sampling operations.

Unique Advantages

• Extended Temperature Reliability: The -40°C to 85°C operating range eliminates the need for additional thermal management in many industrial applications, reducing system complexity and BOM costs.
• DDR Efficiency: Double data rate operation delivers twice the effective bandwidth of single data rate memories at the same clock frequency, improving system throughput without increasing power consumption or EMI.
• 16-Bit Parallel Interface: Direct parallel data bus eliminates the overhead and complexity of serial interfaces, simplifying firmware development and reducing processor load in embedded systems.
• Proven SDRAM Technology: Leverages mature and widely-supported DDR SDRAM architecture with extensive ecosystem of compatible controllers and reference designs, accelerating time-to-market.
• Space-Optimized Footprint: The 60-ball TFBGA package (8mm x 13mm) provides high pin density in a compact form factor, enabling memory expansion without sacrificing board area for other critical components.
• Standard Voltage Operation: 2.3V to 2.7V supply compatibility allows direct interfacing with common logic families and microcontrollers without level translation, simplifying power supply design.
