Cypress Introduces High Density FIFO Memories
June 02 2011 - 9:01AM
Business Wire
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq:CY), today announced
First-In, First-Out (FIFO) memories with densities up to 72 Mbit.
The new High-Density (HD) FIFOs from Cypress are particularly
well-suited for video and imaging applications which require high
density and high frequency for effective buffering. More
information about the HD FIFO is available at
http://www.cypress.com/go/HDFIFO.
The HD FIFO is an advanced buffering alternative to standard
synchronous DRAM memories used in combination with large FPGAs.
Cypress’s HD FIFOs offer enhanced signal integrity compared to a
DRAM based solution, and operate at 133MHz frequency which is
well-suited for buffering video frames. The HD FIFO offers up to
eight separate directly addressable queues to enable designers to
stream multiple video channels simultaneously. Using an HD FIFO
enables designers to use a smaller FPGA, resulting in overall
system cost reduction. Cypress’s HD FIFO also reduces design
complexity, thus speeding time-to-market for video and imaging
systems in broadcast, military, medical and BTS segments.
The new HD FIFOs are available in 18-, 36- and 72-Mbit
densities. They support multiple I/O standards, including 3.3V and
1.8V LVCMOS and HSTL1. The HD FIFO solution also provides
user-selectable memory organization and can be configured as a x9,
x12, x16, x18, x20, x24, x32 or x36 device, providing designers
flexibility to choose optimal depth and width. All of the HD FIFO
densities are offered in the 209-ball BGA package, which ensures
scalability.
“We’ve developed a FIFO product with sufficient bandwidth and
density to enable high bandwidth buffered links between highly
specialized sub-systems in the video broadcasting, military and
medical space,” said Dinesh Maheshwari, Chief Technology Advisor at
Cypress. “Features such as multi queuing allow for multiple logical
streams between the sub-systems. In addition, multiple I/O
standards with configurable width support allow the highly
specialized sub-systems to evolve at their natural pace. HD FIFOs
will help system designers get their products to market faster and
with improved product performance.”
Availability
The new FIFOs are available for sampling today in 209-ball BGA
package of 14mm x 22mm x 1.86mm dimension from Cypress and its
authorized distributors. They are expected to reach production in
August 2011. A high-resolution photo is available for download at
