SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 19, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc. (Nasdaq:ISSI), a leader in advanced memory solutions, today introduced the 4Mb IS66WV25616BLL and the 8Mb IS66WV51216BLL Pseudo SRAMs, the first members of ISSI's new Pseudo SRAM product line. The Pseudo SRAM combines the most desirable features of SRAM and DRAM to provide designers an easy to use, low power, cost effective memory solution. With a pinout that is identical to regular 4Mb and 8Mb low power SRAMs these Pseudo SRAMs are drop in replacements for 4Mb and 8Mb SRAMs.
The IS66WV25616BLL and the IS66WV51216BLL are organized as 256KX16 and 512KX16 respectively, with access times as fast as 55nS and typical operating current of only 15mA. ISSI's Pseudo SRAMs are fabricated on 0.14 micron DRAM technology and are available in commercial 0 degrees C to +70 degrees C and industrial -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C temperature ranges. Both 1.8V and 3.0V operating voltage versions are available.
This new Pseudo SRAM product line is targeted for low power consumer, industrial, automotive, networking and telecom applications where a lower cost solution is required and a higher standby current can be accommodated.
"ISSI's Pseudo SRAMs provide the designer with a cost effective low power solution for a variety of applications that would normally use low power SRAMs," said Sanjiv Asthana, ISSI vice president of sales and marketing. "We will continue to expand this product line by adding 16Mb devices, X8 and X32 bus widths, and automotive temperature ranges, to provide our customers with the complete SRAM solution."
Price and Availability
Both the 4Mb and 8Mb devices are available in a 44 pin TSOPII package and in a 48 ball BGA package. For quantities of 10,000, the IS66WV51216A/B, in a 44 pin TSOPII package with a 0 degrees C to +70 degrees C operating range, is priced at $1.50. Samples are available now with volume production shipments beginning in Q2, 2008. Automotive versions of the IS66WV25616A/B and the IS66WV51216A/B will be available in 2H, 2008.
