QDR II+ (quad data rate II+) and DDR II+ (double data rate II+) devices are said to operate at speeds up to 500 megahertz, as much as 50 times faster than preceding QDRII and DDRII products. According to Cypress, the new devices also offer the world’s highest-density and accelerate read/write capabilities in a variety of data-intensive applications.

“Being first to market with QDRII+ products demonstrates Cypress’s continued commitment to maintaining a leadership role in the worldwide SRAM market,” said Mathew Arcoleo, product marketing director of Cypress’s memory and imaging division, in a statement. “These devices give manufacturers the density and performance necessary to expand network capabilities and services.”

The Cypress QDR II+ and DDR II+ use the same footprints and a 165-pin, FBGA package, Cypress said. The devices are supported by the QDR consortium and will be pin-compatible with products from the other consortium members, Integrated Device Technology Inc., NEC Electronics Corp., Renesas Technology Corp. and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Cypress said.

Production on the 72-Mbit QDRII+/DDRII+ is set to start during the second half of the year, Cypress said. Pricing will be announced at that time, the company said.
