Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:CY), the industry leader in
SRAMs, today announced Altera has selected Cypress Quad Data Rate™
II (QDR™II) and QDRII+ SRAMs for use in its 28-nm Stratix® V
GX FPGA Development Kit. Cypress’s SRAMs enable the Stratix V FPGA
Development Kit to deliver line rates up to 100 Gbps.
The Stratix V GX FPGA Development Kit provides a complete design
environment to start developing Altera’s high-performance 28-nm
FPGAs for use in a broad range of applications such as networking
line cards, advanced LTE basestations, high-end RF cards and
military radar. The kit enables designers to develop and test
Stratix V GX FPGAs with the latest protocols (PCIe® Gen3) and
memory subsystems, including DDR3, QDRII and QDRII+. The 4.5-MB of
QDRII+ memory featured on the Stratix V GX FPGA development board
interface with the FPGA through the device’s hard memory
controllers, delivering maximum performance and the lowest latency.

The QDRII+ devices feature On-Die Termination (ODT), which
improves signal integrity, reduces system cost, and saves board
space by eliminating external termination resistors. They include
densities up to 144 Mbit and speeds up to 550 MHz. With an optional
burst of 4, the 144-Mbit QDRII+ is capable of 550 million
transactions per second, and employs 2.5-cycle latency. The Burst
of 2 device delivers up to 666 million transactions per second,
offering the highest performance memory interface available. 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.
“Cypress’s QDRII and QDRII+ provide the speed, density and
low-latency that today’s high-performance networking solutions
require,” said Bernhard Friebe, senior marketing manager for
Altera’s high-end products. “Supporting the latest memory
technologies like QDRII and QDRII+ in our Stratix V FPGAs, we
enable our customers to maximize the capabilities of their end
system.”
“The Stratix V FPGAs are bringing networking performance to a
new level,” said Sudhir Gopalswamy, senior director of Cypress’s
Synchronous SRAM Business Unit. “We’re pleased to provide the
memory technology that enables customers to get the full benefit of
these advances.”
