Cypress Semiconductor has announced Quad Data Rate (QDR) and Double Data Rate (DDR) SRAMs at 36Mbit and 18Mbit densities in its 65nm SRAM family.

The firm’s range of 65nm synchronous SRAMs includes densities up to 144Mbit and speeds up to 550MHz.  

These devices are form and function compatible upgrades for the large installed base of 90nm QDRII/QDRII+ SRAMs.
 
The 65nm parts are likely to be used in networking applications, including core and edge routers, fixed and modular Ethernet switches, 3G basestations, and secure routers. They also enhance the performance of medical imaging and military signal-processing systems.

The 36-Mbit CY712xxKV18 and 18-Mbit CY7C11xxKV18 are available in production quantities.  

Each device is available in multiple configurations based on I/O width (x18 or x36), burst length (B4 or B2) and latency (1.5-ns, 2.0-ns or 2.5-ns).
