QP Semiconductor, part of e2v’s hi-rel semiconductor solutions division, today announced the introduction of the QP7133 high performance dual port static random access memory (SRAM).
This newest addition to the product line demonstrates QP’s further drive into the market as the supplier of high performance SRAMs to military and aerospace applications.
Building upon its SRAM design success with the QP7024 and QP7025, QP Semiconductor is now in volume production of the QP7133, a 2Kx16 high speed SRAM that operates at 1mW in standby mode which is only 20% of the power consumed by competing products.
As with the 64Kbit and 128Kbit QP SRAMs, the 16Kbit QP7133 has true dual-ported memory cells allowing simultaneous reads of the same memory location. It provides two independent ports with separate control, permitting independent access for read or write operations to any memory location in x16 applications. The QP7133, which is available in ceramic packages and listed on DSCC Standard Military Drawings, operates over the full military temperature range at speeds as fast as 35ns.
Fast Dual-Port SRAMs are in high demand for military and aerospace applications that use multi-processor based systems in radar, flight computers and communications equipment requiring exceptionally high-speed and high bandwidth.
“The release of the QP7133 demonstrates our silicon design expertise and expands our existing family of low density dual port SRAMs,” said Jim Townsend, director of marketing with QP Semiconductor. “We are ever more effectively addressing the OEM’s need for life cycle management of mission-critical, long-life, mil-aero platforms.”
