MT48LC8M16A2B4-6A:L TR

The MT48LC8M16A2B4-6A:L TR is a 128 Mbit synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) organized as 8M × 16 with a parallel memory interface in a 54-ball VFBGA (8×8) package. It implements fully synchronous, pipelined SDRAM architecture with internal banks and programmable burst lengths for predictable, clock-synchronous memory operation.

Designed for systems operating from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply and a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, this device targets PC100/PC133-compliant and other parallel SDRAM applications that require compact packaging, low-power self-refresh options, and sub-6 ns access timing at higher speed grades.

Key Features

• Memory Core 128 Mbit SDRAM organized as 8M × 16 with four internal banks for concurrent row handling and reduced row-access overhead.
• Performance 167 MHz clock frequency (speed grade -6A) with an access time of 5.4 ns (CL = 3) and a write cycle time (word page) of 12 ns for high-throughput synchronous operation.
• Interface & Timing Fully synchronous parallel SDRAM with programmable burst lengths (1, 2, 4, 8, or full page), internal pipelined operation, and LVTTL-compatible inputs/outputs; PC100 and PC133 compliance is documented in the datasheet.
• Power Single +3.3 V ±0.3 V supply (3.0 V to 3.6 V). Includes standard self-refresh and a low-power self-refresh option (the “L” suffix indicates the low-power variant).
• Refresh & Reliability Supports Auto Refresh and Self Refresh modes with a 64 ms, 4,096-cycle refresh specification to maintain data integrity during standby.
• Package 54-ball Very Fine-pitch BGA (54-VFBGA, 8×8) in a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained board layouts; supplier device package listed as 54-VFBGA (8×8).
• Operating Range Commercial operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C as specified for the device.

Typical Applications

• PC100/PC133 systems — Use as synchronous parallel DRAM in systems designed to meet PC100 and PC133 timing and interface expectations.
• Embedded memory subsystems — Compact 54-ball VFBGA packaging and standard SDRAM features suit space-constrained embedded designs requiring parallel SDRAM.
• Legacy and industrial controllers — Parallel SDRAM interface and commercial temperature rating make the device appropriate for controllers and equipment using 3.3 V SDRAM memory.

Unique Advantages

• Clock-synchronous pipelined operation: Internal pipelined architecture and registered signals on the positive clock edge enable predictable timing and efficient column-address changes every clock cycle.
• Fast access at higher speed grades: 167 MHz clock support with 5.4 ns access time (CL = 3, -6A) provides low-latency read performance where required.
• Flexible burst control: Programmable burst lengths (1, 2, 4, 8, full page) permit tuning for sequential access and burst transfer efficiency.
• Low-power standby option: Self-refresh capability with a documented low-power variant (L suffix) reduces power consumption during idle periods.
• Standard supply and signaling: Single +3.3 V supply and LVTTL-compatible I/O simplify integration with existing 3.3 V logic systems.
• Compact BGA packaging: 54-VFBGA (8×8) package provides a small board footprint while retaining full SDRAM functionality.
