Cypress Ships 10-Gbps 3.3 V FIFOs.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 20, 2001 Communication Memories are the Highest-Bandwidth 36-Bit-Wide FIFOs on the Market Targeting WAN Applications Such as High Performance Switches, Routers, and Access Equipment Cypress Semiconductor (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CY) today announced production shipments of the 3.3 V versions of its x36 First In/First Out (FIFO (First In First Out) A storage method that retrieves the item stored for the longest time. Contrast with LIFO. See traffic engineering methods. FIFO - first-in first-out ) high-performance memories targeted at communications applications. The new 3.3 V Cypress FIFO memories transfer data at speeds up to 133 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. , making them an ideal choice for memory-buffer solutions. The 1 Mbit, x36 bi-directional FIFOs provide two independent ports, each capable of handling 36 bits at up to 133 MHz. The ports are fully independent and allow simultaneous read and write operations, enabling easy interfacing between critical system components. These communications memories now are available in both 3.3 V and 5 V versions, packaged in both 120- and 128-pin TQFPs. "Offering up to 10-Gbps of total bandwidth, these FIFOs are consistent with Cypress's strategy to maximize specialty memory bandwidths, a critical attribute in bandwidth-hungry datacom applications," said Richard Quon, Cypress product marketing manager for communications memories. "This family of products represent yet another high performance Cypress product to service the bandwidth needs of our communications customers while also addressing the trend toward lower operating voltages." Pricing and Availability Production quantities of the CY7C436X2AV, CY7C436X3AV, CY7C436X4AV, and CY7C436X6AV families are available now. Prices start at $24 in quantities of 100K or more.
