What this SRAM does on the board
The R1QDA3618CBG-19IB0 is a standard SRAM organized 2Mx18 with a 0.45 ns access time — this is a synchronous burst SRAM used for high-speed cache or buffer memory in networking and telecom line cards where deterministic read latency matters more than density. The 18-bit word width maps naturally to 18-bit or 36-bit data buses with parity; a 2M depth gives 36 Mbit of storage, sized for packet buffers or lookup tables in a mid-range switch ASIC.
ROHS3 compliant per the manufacturer, which means it meets the current EU exemption-free restriction levels — no special handling or exemption tracking needed for EU-market shipments.
Package and board-fit
Supplied in Bulk — this is a tray or tube format, not tape-and-reel, so plan for pick-and-place feeder changeover if your line runs reel-only; the package itself is a surface-mount BGA footprint typical of Renesas high-speed SRAMs.
