Cypress currently manufactures several major Synchronous SRAM architectures. The purpose of this application note is to provide a means to determine which architecture is right for a particular application. A brief description of each architecture and comparison by address/data relationships and performance characteristics is also included.
The table below shows the architecture comparison for the different options:
