400 MHz QDR II+ SRAM for high-throughput buffers
The Infineon CY7C1543KV18-400BZI is a 72 Mbit synchronous SRAM built on the QDR II+ architecture, clocked at 400 MHz. Organized as 4M x 18, it uses a parallel interface and operates from a 1.7 V to 1.9 V supply. This part is designed for high-bandwidth data buffering in networking equipment, telecom line cards, and test instrumentation where low-latency random access is critical. The industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) suits it for controlled environments like central offices and lab racks, though the 165-FBGA package (13x15 mm) demands careful PCB layout and is not hand-solderable.
Lifecycle status and sourcing reality
The CY7C1543KV18-400BZI carries an EOL hot lifecycle stage, meaning Infineon has announced end-of-life for this device. For a BOM line that needs this exact density and speed grade, the window for last-time buys is closing. We source this part through independent distribution and quote it to order against an RFQ — availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time. There is no official successor listed, so any replacement would require a board spin or a functionally equivalent SRAM from a different density or speed tier.
