We have one of the broadest SDRAM offerings in the industry. Several densities;
extended operating temperatures; and various clock rates, cycle times, and package
types make it easy to get just what you need—it’s a relatively simple, cost-effective,
and easy-to-implement memory option for both new and existing designs.
Why complicate your design? If a simple, cost-effective SDRAM solution will
do, plug it in and go. You already know it’s a reliable part. You know
it’s got all the features you’re looking for. Plus it’s a
solid long-term solution. We have plans to support it for years to come so it’s
still a good fit for products with long life cycles.
Our 3.3V SDRAM family offers plenty of options. In fact, we have one of the broadest offerings in the industry today. Choose from multiple densities, extended operating temperatures, and various clock rates, cycle times, and package types to get just what you need.
Stable Supply
Stability, flexibility, and availability are all characteristics that describe
an ideal long-term memory solution. Our SDRAM memory is that kind of solution—the
kind you need for the long haul to support your established, proven products.
And not only do we have the solutions you need, we’ll help you make the
best use of the technology. See our SDRAM part catalog for a complete list.
Technical Support
With Micron, you get great memory, backed by experienced technical support—from
comprehensive data sheets to time-saving simulation models. We have the FAEs
and design development tools to make your job easier. You can dive into our
technical resources on a do-it-yourself design or work with one of our local
field applications engineers if your mass-market project presents a unique challenge.
Whatever you need to get your design to market faster, easier, and better—we
want to deliver it.

Can CKE be tied HIGH throughout SDRAM operation (initialization and normal operation)?
JEDEC does not specify the exact state of CKE during initialization; it is supplier specific. Micron strongly recommends CKE be kept at an LVTTL logic LOW before applying a stable CLK signal. During normal operation, CKE can be tied HIGH. The initial LOW state of CKE prevents parts from receiving an illegal LMR command, which could put the part into an unknown or unexpected state.
Can the SDRAM clock frequency be changed?
Micron SDRAM data sheets require that the clock frequency be constant during access or precharge states (READ, WRITE, tWR, and PRECHARGE commands). At other times frequency should not matter much because there is no DLL in SDRAM however, we do not recommend it. Lowering SDRAM frequency is OK even if you are not doing an LMR and CAS latency change. In case of increasing frequency, ensure tCK and CAS latency specifications are met. In either case, all other data sheet timing specifications should be adhered to.
Is there a recommended lowest working frequency for SDRAM?
Because SDRAM does not have a DLL, there is no recommended lowest frequency. SDRAM parts will work at very low frequencies if all data sheet specifications are met. It is important to maintain a good slew rate, however, since a very slow slew rate will affect setup and hold-time transitions. Also, for operating frequencies of 45 MHz, tCKS = 3.0ns.
