72 Mbit QDR II+ SRAM at 450 MHz — what it delivers for the datapath
The CY7C1565KV18-450BZXC: The 450 MHz clock rate gives a peak data bandwidth of 1.8 Gbps per I/O pin (double-data-rate on both read and write clocks), which is the figure that drives timing closure in high-throughput applications such as network packet buffers, switch look-up tables, and telecom line-card memory. The 1.7V to 1.9V core supply aligns with the lower-voltage I/O standards common on recent FPGAs and ASICs, reducing the number of separate power rails needed on the board.
165-FBGA footprint — layout and supply rails
The 1.7V to 1.9V VDD supply is separate from the I/O voltage (typically 1.4V or 1.8V, depending on the QDR II+ configuration), so the board needs two low-noise regulator outputs close to the SRAM. Decoupling should follow the manufacturer's recommendation: one 0.1 µF ceramic per supply pin pair, plus a bulk 10 µF on each rail.
