IDT Introduces Next-Generation Dual-Ports for Industrial Control, Medical Imaging and Communication Applications
Expanding Multi-Port Solutions Allow Higher Performance Memory
Buffering
SAN JOSE, Calif.–(EMWNews)–IDT® (Integrated
Device Technology, Inc.) (NASDAQ:IDTI), a leading provider of essential
mixed signal semiconductor solutions that enrich the digital media
experience, today announced it has added two new dual-port
devices to its growing family of multi-port
devices. For applications ranging from industrial
control to medical imaging and communications, the new 9-Mbit and
4-Mbit dual-port devices deliver 200MHz performance to satisfy demanding
memory buffering requirements. By offering a 1.8V core voltage, the
devices utilize significantly less power than existing solutions.
Dual-port devices integrate memory and control logic to enable
simultaneous access to a common central memory through independent
ports. The IDT solutions allow customers to increase bandwidth and
reduce design complexity by solving inter-chip connection issues while
offering improved time-to-market by using proven off-the-shelf devices.
“At IDT, we continue to look at ways to
improve our existing products to provide our customers evolutionary
upgrades to solve their next-generation concerns before these concerns
become problems,” said Carl May, marketing
director for the IDT Flow Control Management group. “These
new devices offer significant improvements in performance and power for
our customers.”
Features and Benefits
The new 9-Mbit IDT 70P3519
and 4-Mbit 70P3599 are
high-speed 256K/128K x 36 bit synchronous dual-port devices. The devices
provide a comprehensive range of synchronous functionality, allowing IDT
customers to optimize their designs for greater performance and lower
power. In addition, the devices also enable customers to manage
simultaneous access to a single memory address without the need for
external devices. Synchronous functions include counters, multiple
independent chip and byte enables, and synchronous interrupts. Moreover,
registers on control, data, and address inputs provide minimal setup and
hold times allowing faster time-to-market. By including input data
registers, the dual-port devices are optimized for applications having
unidirectional or bidirectional data flow in bursts. An automatic
power-down feature, controlled by CE0 and CE1 chip enable pins, permits
the on-chip circuitry of each port to enter a very low standby power
mode.
The 70P3519 and 70P3599 can support I/O voltages of 3.3V, 2.5V or 1.8V
on one or both ports. The power supply for the core of the devices (VDD)
is 1.8V. For additional information on the devices, visit www.idt.com/go/synch-dp.
Pricing and Availability
To ease adoption for IDT customers, both the IDT 70P3519 and the 70P3599
are available in the same packages as existing IDT dual-port solutions:
256-pin Ball Grid Array (BGA), 208-pin Plastic Quad Flatpack (PQFP), and
208-pin fine pitch Ball Grid Array (fpBGA). The 9-Mbit synchronous
dual-port devices are priced at $83.95 each in 10,000-unit quantities
and are sampling now. The 4-Mbit dual port devices are available at
$64.57 each in 10,000 unit quantities and are sampling now.
