Winbond's 64 Mb pSRAM solution offers low-profile, low-power performance ideal for IoT wearables.
Pseudo SRAM (PSRAM) devices are experiencing a design revival with wearable devices. Also known as CellularRAMTM, PSRAM were widely used in feature mobile phones. A typical IoT wearable design require low power for extended battery life and use lower RAM density in the smallest possible packages. Most wearables are tasked to monitor a finite set of parameters which means not a lot of computing power or the need for large memory size. These design requirements make PSRAM a natural choice.
It is not surprising that connected IoT wearables chose a mature technology driven by mobile device for best value. Winbond’s offers a variety of PSRAM densities from 32 Megabit to 256 Megabit in BGA packages.
Winbond’s PSRAM Product Features
• Broad density offering from 32 Megabit to 256 Megabit
• Operating voltage range: 1.7V to 1.9V
• Memory organization: x16
• 133 MHz Clock Rate
• 70 ns Random Access Time
• Option for Address Data Multiplex (ADM) to take advantage of less pins or Address Data Parallel (ADP)
• Standard 54 BGA for all densities, 49 BGA for 64 Megabit only
Winbond is the market leader for PSRAM shipments. The 64 Megabit featured device, W956D6KBKX7I, is available in a thin, low pin count, 49 ball BGA. As shown below, compared to a penny, the package is ideal for wrist type wearables.
