QDR II+ at 550 MHz — what the clock buys you
The CY7C1165KV18-550BZC is an 18 Mbit synchronous SRAM built on Infineon's QDR II+ architecture, clocked at 550 MHz. QDR II+ eliminates the bus-turnaround dead cycles that plague standard synchronous SRAMs, delivering sustained read-write throughput on every clock edge. For a network line card or test instrument that streams data into an FPGA at line rate, this part keeps the pipeline full without wait states. The memory is organized 512K x 36.
