72 Mbit QDR II SRAM at 250 MHz — the bandwidth gate for line-rate buffers
The CY7C1513KV18-250BZXC is a 72 Mbit synchronous SRAM built on QDR II architecture, organized 4M x 18 bits. It clocks at 250 MHz on the parallel interface, delivering a read and write data rate that keeps packet buffers fed in high-throughput networking and telecom line cards. The 1.7 V to 1.9 V core supply aligns with the 1.8 V nominal rail common in ASIC and FPGA designs. The commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) suits controlled indoor environments — central-office switches, baseband units, and test equipment — but not extended outdoor or industrial floors.
Package and board-fit — 165-ball FBGA, 13x15 mm
The tray packaging is the production-volume norm for BGA devices — no reel, so pick-and-place feeders need a tray handler or tube adapter. No extended temperature qualification, so skip this part for outdoor or engine-bay designs.
Active lifecycle — still a current production line
The base product number CY7C1513 anchors a family of speed and temperature variants. If the 250 MHz commercial grade is the fit, the active status means the BOM line is stable for the foreseeable production horizon.
