2Mx36 SRAM for high-bandwidth buffering
The R1Q4A7236ABG-33IB0 is a standard SRAM organized as 2Mx36 — a 72 Mbit memory array typically used in networking equipment, base stations, and test gear where a wide data bus is needed for high-throughput packet buffers or lookup tables. The 36-bit word width matches common 36-bit bus architectures used in telecom and datacom line cards, avoiding the need for multiple narrower memories.
The active status also means the manufacturer continues to support it with datasheets and application notes.
Bulk packaging — plan for tray handling
This is common for larger BGA or LQFP packages used in prototype runs, low-volume production, or rework. If your pick-and-place line expects tape-and-reel, factor in a transfer step or order a tray-to-reel service from the distributor.
