For existing BOM lines, procurement must turn to the surplus and broker channel. Verify date-code consistency and lot traceability — the laser etch and marking should match Cypress's factory format for the reported production week.
The 200 MHz clock rate and 3 ns access time position this SRAM for zero-wait-state operation with high-performance processors or ASICs running at similar frequencies. The synchronous SDR interface eliminates the bus-turnaround dead cycles of asynchronous SRAM, enabling back-to-back read/write throughput. The 1M x 18 organization suits systems that need an 18-bit data word — common in 18-bit wide memory buses for networking ASICs or DSPs.
