The part, which is organized as a 2-Mbit x 32 device, already has several design wins, according to the company.

"Hyundai's 200MHz SDRAM device offers a big advantage by using the same protocols and interface as the current SDRAM," said Mark Ellsberry, vice president of marketing at Hyundai Electronics America, San Jose. "In addition, this part runs at a very fast 200 MHz, which enables our customers to get yet another performance boost out of their current SDRAM designs."

The 200-MHz SDRAM device is fabricated on a 0.22-micron process optimized for 3.3-V operation. All the inputs and outputs are compatible with the LVTTL interface, which is the standard interface for SDRAM, according to Hyundai.

Additionally, the design uses a standard 4-bank architecture that makes it compatible with other SDRAMs.

The 2-Mbit x 32, HY57V653220BTC-5 SDRAM is available in production quantities for about $18. The chip comes in an industry and JEDEC-standard 400-mil 86-pin TSOP package.
