The new product family represents the industry's first non-volatile SRAM memory capable of directly interfacing with Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFI) and Toggle NAND bus controllers. The 16-Mbit product family expands Cypress's nvSRAM portfolio to meet the demand for solid-state drives (SSDs) for high-speed data/error loggers in enterprise systems, high-end programmable logic controllers (PLCs), storage, and networking equipment.

The 16-Mbit nvSRAM provides a low access time of 25 ns, making it the fastest asynchronous non-volatile RAM on the market. Additionally, the new device offers an optional integrated Real-Time Clock (RTC) not available in competing solutions. The RTC enables timestamping of critical data to be logged in. Cypress nvSRAM features infinite read, write, and recall cycles along with 20 years of data retention, making it the optimal solution for applications requiring continuous high-speed data writing and absolute non-volatile data security.

The new 16-Mbit product family pushes the limits of speed, density, and performance while delivering the same outstanding reliability that characterizes the Cypress nvSRAM portfolio. “The synchronous NAND interface is opening up several new markets for Cypress nvSRAM and adding breadth and flexibility to our entire non-volatile product range,” said Lim Young-do, General Manager of Cypress Korea.

ONFI NAND interface nvSRAM supports ONFI 3.0 NV-DDR interface (100MHz) and ONFI 3.0 NV-DDR2 interface (200MHz). Toggle NAND interface nvSRAM is compatible with Toggle 2.0 NAND controllers for DDR operation at 200MHz.

Both ONFI and Toggle versions support single-channel operation at x8 and x16 data bus widths, and per second
It supports dual-channel and quad-channel operation on an x8 bit data bus width capable of up to 400 million transaction operations.


Product Status and Photos
The 16-Mbit nvSRAM family is currently being sampled, and mass production is scheduled for the first quarter of 2013. The CY14V116Fx ONFI and Toggle NAND devices operate on a 3V core and 1.8V IO supply and are available in 165-ball FBGA packages, respectively. Two asynchronous devices, with or without a Real-Time Clock (RTC), are provided in 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit data bus widths and at different power supply levels of 2.5V, 3V, and 5V. These devices are available in 44-pin TSOPII, 48-pin TSOPI, and 165-ball FBGA packages. A product photo of the 16-Mbit nvSRAM can be downloaded from www.cypress.com/go/16mbit-nvsram-photo .
