Product details

Organized as 2M x 36, clocked at 300 MHz, and supplied from 1.7V to 1.9V, it is aimed at high-bandwidth buffering in network switches, baseband processing, and test equipment where every nanosecond of bus turnaround costs throughput.

At 300 MHz the QDR II bus delivers a data rate of 600 million transfers per second per port (double-data-rate on the clock edges). The 2M x 36 organization means a 36-bit-wide data word per access, so the peak bandwidth sits around 21.6 Gbit/s. That level of throughput is what a 10 GbE line card or a radar beamformer needs to keep its FIFO from underflowing. If your system runs a slower clock domain, the part also works at lower frequencies — but the 300 MHz rating is the headroom you pay for, and it is the figure that determines whether this SRAM can match the bus timing of a high-end FPGA or ASIC without inserting wait states.

Cypress (now Infineon) lists the CY7C1515KV18-300BZI as Active.

Package and supply — the board-level fit

The 165-ball FBGA (13x15 mm) is a surface-mount BGA with a 1.0 mm ball pitch — standard for high-density SRAMs in this density tier. The supply range of 1.7V to 1.9V means it runs from a nominal 1.8V rail, which is the common core voltage for QDR II memories. If your board already carries a 1.8V supply for the FPGA or ASIC bank, this part drops in without an extra regulator.

Frequently asked questions

Is CY7C1515KV18-300BZI obsolete or end-of-life?

No. The lifecycle status is Active, meaning Cypress (Infineon) still manufactures it.

Can CY7C1515KV18-300BZI be replaced by a slower speed grade?

Yes, if your bus timing budget allows a lower clock rate. The QDR II family includes speed grades below 300 MHz — for example, 250 MHz or 200 MHz variants in the same 72 Mbit density and 165-FBGA footprint. Dropping the speed grade reduces cost and may ease signal-integrity closure on the PCB, but you must verify that the slower part still meets your read/write throughput requirement without inserting wait states. The pinout and package are consistent across the speed grades, so a board respin is not needed for the swap.
