400 MHz DDR II+ — what the speed grade buys you
The CY7C1170KV18-400BZXC is a 18Mbit synchronous SRAM from Infineon using a DDR II+ interface — double-data-rate on both clock edges at a 400 MHz clock frequency. That gives an effective data rate of 800 MT/s per pin over a 36-bit-wide bus (512K x 36 organization). The part is volatile, parallel-interface, and optimized for high-throughput cache or buffer applications where a QDR-style part would be overkill but standard sync SRAM leaves bandwidth on the table.
Infineon lists the CY7C1170KV18-400BZXC as obsolete.
Package and temperature — board-fit constraints
Surface-mount only. That rules out outdoor telecom cabinets, engine bays, or any environment where the junction sees sustained temperatures above 70°C.
