ISSI Announces Support of Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGA Family SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc (NASDAQ:ISSI), a leader in advanced memory solutions, today announced high performance SRAM support for the Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGA family. ISSI's IS61LV25616AL-10T, a 10ns 4Mbit asynchronous SRAM, provides high performance, cost effective external memory for Spartan-3 FPGAs. As a Xilinx Reference Design Alliance Program member, ISSI and Xilinx are providing system designers with an outstanding price/performance solution. System development for the Spartan-3, configured with two of the IS61LV25616AL-10T SRAMs for external memory, can be achieved using the Xilinx Spartan-3 Starter Kit ( http://www.xilinx.com/products/spartan3/s3boards.htm ). This is an easy to use, low-cost development system available from Xilinx for $99. The combination of the ISSI SRAMs provides 8Mbits of memory configured as 256Kx32. "The Spartan-3 Starter Kit is a showcase development platform, and the external memory from ISSI magnifies the value and power of the system," said Richard Terrill, senior manager of Spartan and CPLD Solutions at Xilinx. "The blend of low-cost high performance memory from ISSI and the low-cost 90nm Spartan-3 FPGA from Xilinx makes for a very powerful combination." The IS61LV25616AL-10T is a 4Mbit asynchronous SRAM organized as 256Kx16. The device operates at 3.3volts, has access times as fast as 10ns, is fabricated using 0.18u technology, and is offered in 44-pin TSOPII. The device is also offered in 48-pin mBGA and 44-pin SOJ packages. In addition to the 256Kx16 asynchronous SRAM, ISSI offers a variety of asynchronous SRAMs including 128Kx16, 512Kx16, 256Kx8, 512Kx8, 1Mx8, and others. Price, Packaging and Availability The device is available in both 10ns and 12ns versions. For quantities of 10,000, the IS61LV25616AL-10T, 10ns version in a 44-pin TSOP2 JEDEC standard package is priced at $3.00. The device is also offered in a 44-pin LQFP, 44-pin SOJ, and a 48-pin mBGA. Samples and production volume are available now.
