Synchronous SRAM for high-throughput data paths
The device is volatile, built on SDR (single data rate) synchronous technology, and is intended for high-speed cache, buffer, and lookup-table applications in networking, telecom, and industrial control systems where deterministic read/write latency matters.
167 MHz clock and 3.4 ns access — timing closure considerations
The 167 MHz clock rate sets the maximum operating frequency for the synchronous interface. At this speed, the 3.4 ns access time defines the window from clock edge to valid data output. For a design targeting 167 MHz, the controller must budget for PCB trace delay, clock skew, and setup/hold margins. The 36-bit wide data bus (512K x 36) allows a single burst to move 36 bits per cycle, which suits designs that need wide parallel reads without multiplexing — common in network packet buffers or DSP coefficient stores.
The 165-FBGA (13x15 mm) package is a fine-pitch BGA requiring careful PCB layout — the 13x15 mm footprint with 165 balls demands a multi-layer board with dedicated power and ground planes to maintain signal integrity at 167 MHz. Surface-mount assembly is standard; no special handling beyond MSL precautions.
