Access Time | A measurement of time in nanoseconds (ns) used to indicate the speed of memory. Access time is a cycle that begins the moment the CPU sends a request to memory and ends the moment the CPU receives the data it requested. Specifically, for a synchronous device it is the time, usually in ns, from a clock edge to when data is available at the output of a device. For an asynchronous device it is the time from the initiation of the read cycle to when the data output is available. | ||

IC Package Type | |||
Your choices are... | |||
BGA | Ball-grid array (BGA) places output pins in a solder ball matrix. Generally, BGA traces are fabricated on laminated (BT-based) substrates or polyimide-based films. Therefore, the entire area of substrates or films can be used to route the interconnection. BGA has another advantage of lower ground or power inductance by assigning ground or power nets via a shorter current path to PCB. Thermally enhanced mechanisms (heat sink, thermal balls, etc.) can be applied to BGA to reduce the thermal resistance. The sophisticated capabilities make BGA the desirable package to implement electrical and thermal enhancement in response to the need for high power and high speed ICs. | ||
CSP | Chip scale package or chip size package (CSP) has an area that is no more than 20% larger than the built-in die. CSP is compact for second level packaging efficiency and encapsulated for second level reliability. CSP is superior to both direct-chip-attach (DCA) and chip-on-board (COB) technologies. CSP is used in a variety of integrated circuits (IC), including radio frequency ICs (RFIC), memory ICs, and communication ICs. | ||
FLGA | Fine-pitch land-grid array (FLGA) is extremely compact and lightweight, making it suitable for miniature disc drives and digital cameras. | ||
QFP | Quad flat packages (QFP) contain a large number of fine, flexible, gull wing shaped leads. Lead width can be as small as 0.16 mm. Lead pitch is 0.4 mm. QFPs provide good second-level reliability and are used in processors, controllers, ASICs, DSPs, gate arrays, logic, memory ICs, PC chipsets, and other applications. | ||
TQFP | Thin quad flat package (TQFP). | ||
SOP | Small outline package (SOP). | ||
SOIC | Small outline integrated circuit (SOIC). | ||
TSOP | Thin small outline package (TSOP) is a type of DRAM package that uses gull wing shaped leads on both sides. TSOP DRAM mounts directly on the surface of the printed circuit board. The advantage of the TSOP package is that it is one-third the thickness of an SOJ package. TSOP components are commonly used in small outline DIMM and credit card memory applications. Thin small outline package may be Type I or Type II. | ||
SSOP | Shrink small outline package (SSOP). | ||
TSSOP | Thin shrink small outline L-leaded package (TSSOP). | ||
SOJ | Small outline J-lead (SOJ) is a common form of surface-mount DRAM packaging. It is a rectangular package with J-shaped leads on the two long sides of the device. | ||
PLCC | Plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC). | ||
LCCC | Leadless ceramic chip carrier (LCCC). | ||
DIP | Dual in-line package (DIP) is a type of DRAM component packaging. DIPs can be installed either in sockets or permanently soldered into holes extending into the surface of the printed circuit board. | ||
SIP | Single in-line package (SIP). | ||
Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary IC packages. | ||
