What this QDR II SRAM is and where it fits
The Infineon CY7C1512KV18-250BZXIT is a 72 Mbit QDR II synchronous SRAM organized as 4M x 18 bits, clocked at 250 MHz over a parallel interface. QDR II architecture means separate read and write data ports, eliminating bus-turnaround dead cycles — the part can sustain back-to-back reads and writes on every clock edge. That makes it a natural fit for high-throughput packet buffers in networking switches, routers, and line cards, or for large lookup tables in telecom baseband processing. The 1.7 V to 1.9 V core supply and industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) suit it for outdoor telecom cabinets and industrial controllers where ambient temperatures climb.
