Functional 90nm SRAM
Cypress Semiconductor achieved functional silicon for highest-density static memory (SRAM) on its six-transistor 90nm RAM9 process technology. The 72Mbit synchronous SRAM is designed to operate at the speeds needed for the OC-48 optical networking standard.
Cypress Semiconductor achieved functional silicon for highest-density static memory (SRAM) on its six-transistor 90nm RAM9 process technology. The 72Mbit synchronous SRAM is designed to operate at the speeds needed for the OC-48 optical networking standard.
RAM9 is being implemented in Cypresss Fab 4 in Minnesota. In addition to the 72Mbit synchronous SRAM, two other product families are currently in design and will achieve functional silicon by late 2003 and early 2004. These product families include Cypresss next-generation networking Quad Data Rate (QDR) SRAMs that operate at data rates beyond 300MHz; and low-power More Battery Life (MoBL) SRAMs, which use less power than standard SRAMs.
Samples of the 72Mbit synchronous SRAMs will be available during H2 2003.
