72 Mbit DDR II SRAM at 333 MHz — the throughput ceiling
The CY7C1518KV18-333BZXC is a 72 Mbit synchronous DDR II SRAM organized as 4M x 18 bits, clocked at 333 MHz. At that clock rate the DDR interface delivers two data transfers per cycle, so the peak read/write bandwidth into the 18-bit bus is 666 MT/s — the limiting factor is the controller's ability to keep the pipeline full, not the memory itself. The 1.7 V to 1.9 V core supply matches the low-voltage SRAM rail common on networking and telecom line cards.
Package and board-fit — 165-ball FBGA
The supplier device package is 165-FBGA (13x15), so the footprint matches the industry-standard 165-ball FBGA land pattern. Supplied in tray format, the part is suited for manual or automated pick-and-place in prototype and low-to-medium volume production. The tray keeps the balls protected and the parts aligned for the feeder.
Infineon lists the CY7C1518KV18-333BZXC as Active (current production).
