Legacy Micron 512M SDRAMs with original part numbers available to 2017

Alliance Memory has announced that its 32M x 16 MT48LC32M16A2P-75: C (commercial temperature), 32M x 16 MT48LC32M16A2P-75 IT:C (industrial temperature), 64M x 8 MT48LC64M8A2P-75:C (commercial temperature), and 64M x 8 MT48LC64M8A2P-75 IT:C (industrial temperature) 512M synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) devices, which the company recently acquired from Micron Semiconductor, will be available with their original Micron part numbers into 2017. "By continuing to offer the Micron SDRAMs with their original part numbers, we ensure that our customers won't have to do a requalification of the parts for nearly two to three years," said David Bagby, president, Alliance Memory. In addition to making this commitment, Alliance has already begun its own design, which will be ready in 2016. When this pin-to-pin-compatible part is ready, Micron customers will be able to make an easy transition to the Alliance part, experiencing no gap in product availability. The MT48LC32M16A2P-75:C, MT48LC32M16A2P-75 IT:C, MT48LC64M8A2P-75:C, and MT48LC64M8A2P-75 IT:C are optimized for medical, industrial, automotive, and telecom applications requiring high memory bandwidth, and they are particularly well-suited to high-performance PC applications. Offered in a 54-pin TSOP II package and available with commercial (0C to +70C) and industrial (-40C to +85C) temperature ranges, the devices operate from a single +3.3V (±0.3V) power supply and are lead (Pb)- and halogen-free. PC100- and PC133-compliant, the devices provide programmable read or write burst lengths of 1, 2, 4, 8, or full page, with a burst termination option. An auto pre-charge function provides a self-timed row pre-charge initiated at the end of the burst sequence. Easy-to-use refresh functions include auto- or self-refresh, while a programmable mode register allows the system to choose the most suitable modes to maximize performance. Samples and production quantities of the MT48LC32M16A2P-75, MT48LC32M16A2P-75 IT:C, MT48LC64M8A2P-75:C, and MT48LC64M8A2P-75 IT:C are available now, says the company.
