The CY7C1518KV18-300BZXC is a 72Mbit synchronous SRAM with a DDR II interface, organized as 4M x 18. It operates at 300 MHz.
Package reality — 165-FBGA field swap
The 165-ball FBGA (13x15 mm) is a fine-pitch BGA for surface-mount assembly. Orientation is marked by pin A1 corner dot.
The memory is volatile SRAM, so contents are lost at power-down. No on-chip non-volatile storage — this is pure high-speed scratchpad. The parallel interface is straightforward for FPGA or ASIC glue, but the DDR II timing requires a controller that supports source-synchronous clocking. If you are migrating from a single-data-rate SRAM, expect to add a PLL or DLL on the controller side to capture the double-edge data.
