36Mbit QDR II+ SRAM at 550 MHz — what it is and where it fits
The Infineon CY7C1263KV18-550BZXC is a 36Mbit synchronous SRAM built on QDR II+ architecture, organized as 2M words by 18 bits. It clocks at 550 MHz on the parallel interface.
550 MHz clock — what it means for the bus
At 550 MHz, the QDR II+ interface eliminates the dead cycles between read and write turns that older NoBL or DDR SRAMs leave on the table.
Lifecycle reality — EOL phase, plan the last buy
The CY7C1263KV18-550BZXC carries an EOL-hot lifecycle stage. That means Infineon has notified the end-of-life — the last-time-buy window is either open or closing. For a BOM that depends on this exact density and speed grade, the procurement move is to secure final-order quantities now rather than chase dwindling surplus later. No official successor order code is listed in the lifecycle record, so a pin-compatible drop-in is not confirmed.
