QDR-II SRAM at 250 MHz — the bandwidth ceiling
The CY7C1414AV18-250BZC is a 36 Mbit synchronous QDR-II SRAM organized 1M×36, clocked at 250 MHz on a 1.7–1.9 V core supply. The QDR-II architecture delivers two data words per clock cycle on separate read and write ports — at 250 MHz the interface sustains 18 Gbit/s of simultaneous read-write bandwidth, which is the figure that drives the fit in high-throughput packet buffers and traffic managers.
Obsolete — the sourcing reality for this part
Infineon lists the CY7C1414AV18-250BZC as Obsolete. A board spin is required if migrating to a different QDR-II density or package variant.
Package and thermal context for the 165-FBGA
The 1.7–1.9 V rail is tight; the board design must keep VDD ripple below 50 mV at the BGA balls to avoid setup/hold timing violations at 250 MHz.
