Cypress Completes High-Density QDRII+ SRAM Portfolio With New 65-nm 36-Mbit and 18-Mbit Devices
December 20 2010 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq:CY), the industry leader in
SRAMs, today announced new Quad Data Rate™ (QDR™) and Double Data
Rate (DDR) SRAMs at 36-Mbit and 18-Mbit densities, the latest
members of its 65-nm SRAM family. The new memories complete the
industry’s broadest portfolio of 65-nm synchronous SRAMs, which
includes densities up to 144Mbit and speeds up to 550 MHz.
Cypress’s patented process technology reduces power consumption up
to 50% compared with 90-nm SRAMs, enabling the new wave of “green”
networking infrastructure applications.

The new devices are form, fit and function compatible upgrades
for the large installed base of 90-nm QDRII/QDRII+ SRAMs (estimated
at well over 60 million units), and are fully compliant with the
QDR Consortium specifications. This compatibility enables designers
of existing products to easily upgrade system performance without
requiring board redesign. The 65-nm SRAMs are ideal for networking
applications, including core and edge routers, fixed and modular
Ethernet switches, 3G basestations, and secure routers. They also
enhance the performance of medical imaging and military
signal-processing systems. The QDRII+ and DDRII+ devices feature
On-Die Termination (ODT), which improves signal integrity, reduces
system cost, and saves board space by eliminating external
termination resistors.
“As the leader in SRAMs, we aim to provide the broadest
portfolio of high-performance SRAM products, giving our customers
the ability to offer a wide range of price/performance points in
their markets,” said Dave Kranzler, vice president of synchronous
SRAM products at Cypress. “Cypress has already shipped over a
million 65-nm SRAMs to over 150 customers worldwide, and we have
established ourselves as the leader in the high performance SRAM
category.”
Cypress’s portfolio of SRAMs includes leaded and lead-free
packaging; commercial, industrial and military options; numerous
interface configurations; and a wide range of performance options.
Cypress also works with customers to develop solutions for specific
application requirements.
