Alliance Semiconductor Introduces New 36-Megabit Synchronous SRAM Family
0.13-micron Copper Process Technology Delivers High Density
Synchronous SRAMs For Multiple Market Applications
SANTA CLARA, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—March 15, 2004—
Alliance Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq:ALSC), a leading
worldwide provider of analog and mixed signal products,
high-performance memory products and systems solutions for the
communications, computing, embedded, industrial and consumer markets,
today announced the availability of its 36-megabit (36Mb) Synchronous
SRAM family. Manufactured using state-of-the-art 0.13-micron copper
process technology, Alliance's 36Mb Synchronous SRAMs provide higher
densities, lower access latency, and lower power consumption to
increase system performance in a variety of applications and end
markets including storage systems, wireless infrastructure and
networking.
The 36Mb family expands Alliance's growing Synchronous SRAM
product portfolio ranging from 2Mb to 36Mb devices and strengthens
Alliance's support and commitment to providing its customers with an
extensive selection of high-density, high speed and leading-edge
memory products for multiple vertical market applications.
"The addition of this 36Mb product family to our portfolio enables
Alliance to provide higher density, higher bandwidth memory offerings
while maintaining the low latency packet buffering requirements
necessary for data storage, networking and embedded applications,"
said Bhanu Nanduri, vice president and general manager of system
solutions for Alliance.
Alliance's 36Mb Synchronous SRAM device configurations include
1Mbx32, 1Mbx36 and 2Mbx18 operating at either 3.3-V or 2.5-V. The
devices are user configurable to operate in either pipelined mode or
in flow-through mode. In pipelined mode, the devices operate with
clock rates up to 250MHz and with clock access times less than 2.6 ns.
In flow-through mode the clock access times are less than 6.0 ns. Both
pipelined mode and flow-through mode offer active currents of 450 mA
and standby currents of 100 mA. Alliance's 36Mb Synchronous SRAM
devices support fast clock speeds with no turnaround delay (NTD) or
synchronous burst interfaces. In addition, Alliance offers both the
100-lead TQFP and the space saving 165-ball BGA industry standard
packaging options.
Samples are available now with production quantities available in
the second quarter of 2004. These devices are available in 166 MHz,
200 MHz and 250 MHz with either a synchronous burst or the NTD
interface. Pricing starts at $55.00 for 250MHz devices in quantities
of 10,000 units.
