SRAM Module Takes Aim At Space Applications

Designed specifically for space applications, the UTXQ512K32 16M SRAM multi-chip module (MCM) is the newest member of the firm's Class T family and packages four 4M memory die using both dies of the substrate in a 68-lead ceramic flatpack. This technique increases packaging density, saving space and weight and providing high-speed access. The MCM is available for use with either a 3.3V or 5V power supply, is rated for total dose exposure up to 30 krad, and can be shielded to 100 krad for geosynchronous orbits. It also has a power-down feature that reduces power consumption by more than 90% when deselected. Available as a Standard Microcircuit Drawing device to eliminate the costly paperwork of source control drawings, the module is priced at $1500 each/500.
