What the clock and access time mean for your bus
The CY7C1380KV33-167AXC: At 167 MHz, the clock period is about 6 ns. The 3.4 ns access time from clock edge to data valid leaves roughly 2.6 ns of setup margin for the controller — tight enough that PCB trace length matching and controlled impedance matter on the data and address lines. The 512K x 36 organization gives you a 36-bit wide word — useful for caching DSP coefficient tables or frame buffers where a single read fetches a full vector without byte-gathering overhead.
Active production and compliance status
The commercial temperature grade (0°C to 70°C) suits indoor networking gear, test equipment, and server-class memory buffers. For extended temperature ranges, check the industrial-grade sibling CY7C1370KV33-167AXI.
