Product details
Overview
R1QDA7218ABG-20IB0 from Renesas Electronics is a 72-Mbit QDR™ II+ SRAM with 4,194,304-word × 18-bit organization, synchronous quad data rate operation, 2.5-cycle read latency, on-die termination (ODT), and 165-pin FBGA (15 × 17 mm) packaging. It delivers 500 MHz max clock frequency, HSTL I/O, and separate read/write data ports for high-bandwidth networking buffer applications.
For engineers reviewing the R1QDA7218ABG-20IB0 datasheet, R1QDA7218ABG-20IB0 pinout, R1QDA7218ABG-20IB0 application, or R1QDA7218ABG-20IB0 equivalent, key selection criteria include burst-of-4 timing alignment, ODT impedance control via ZQ/ODT pins, QVLD-valid-data indication, K//K clock-synchronized dual-edge write registration, and industrial temperature support (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
This device implements a true synchronous architecture with independent read and write ports, using K and /K as input clocks for address/control/data registration on both rising edges. Its internal burst counter and four-tick burst mode reduce external address bus frequency by 4× while maintaining full DDR bandwidth utilization.
The R1QDA7218ABG-20IB0 integrates on-die termination (ODT) with selectable low/high impedance ranges (52–150 Ω Thevenin equivalent), programmable output impedance via ZQ resistor, and QVLD signal edge-aligned with CQ//CQ to simplify high-speed data capture in systems requiring precise setup/hold margin control.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| K, /K | Input clock pair | Registers all address, control, and write data on rising edges; defines synchronous timing boundary for /R, /W, /BWx |
| /R, /W | Read/write command inputs | Active-low synchronous commands latched on K rising edge; /R initiates read burst, /W initiates write burst |

| Q[17:0] | Read data outputs | 18-bit parallel data synchronized to CQ//CQ or K//K; QVLD indicates validity window |
| QVLD | Valid data indicator | Output pulse active half-cycle before first read data and deasserted half-cycle before last - enables precise capture windowing |
| ZQ | Impedance calibration reference | Connects to precision resistor (RQ) to set output driver and ODT impedance; RQ = 5 × target ZOUT |
| ODT | On-die termination control | Configures ODT range: low (52–105 Ω) or high (105–150 Ω) Thevenin termination for D[17:0] inputs |
| CQ, /CQ | Output echo clocks | Edge-matched to Q outputs; used as timing reference for external latch - eliminates board trace skew impact |
| VDD, VDDQ, VSS, VREF | Power and reference supplies | VDD = 1.8 V core; VDDQ = 1.4–1.8 V I/O; VREF = VDDQ/2 reference for HSTL inputs; all must be decoupled per layout guidelines |

|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C2665KV18-500BZXC | Same 72-Mbit ×18, 500 MHz, 2.5-cycle RL, 165-BGA; Cypress (now Infineon) implementation with identical pinout and AC timing | No ODT support; requires external termination; lacks QVLD signal | Select when system already uses Cypress QDR-II+ ecosystem and external termination is acceptable |
| AS7C362000B-500BIN | 72-Mbit ×18 QDR-II+, 500 MHz, 2.5-cycle RL, but 165-BGA with different pin assignment (non-pin-compatible); no ODT or QVLD | Requires PCB redesign; limited industrial temp support (−40°C to +85°C only in specific batches) | Select only for cost-sensitive designs where layout flexibility exists and ODT/QVLD are not required |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R1QDA7218ABG-20IB0?
The R1QDA7218ABG-20IB0 is rated for a maximum clock frequency of 500 MHz, corresponding to a minimum cycle time of 2.0 ns. This specification is validated under industrial temperature conditions (−40°C to +85°C) and with VDD = 1.8 V ±0.1 V and VDDQ = 1.4–1.8 V. Operation above this frequency violates AC timing parameters and may result in data corruption or functional failure. The R1QDA7218ABG-20IB0 datasheet specifies this limit in the Speed Bin Table (Page 3) and AC Characteristics section.
Does the R1QDA7218ABG-20IB0 support on-die termination (ODT)?
Yes, the R1QDA7218ABG-20IB0 supports on-die termination (ODT) as indicated by the "D" in its part number prefix (R1QDA7218…), which denotes ODT-enabled QDR-II+ devices. ODT is controlled via the ODT pin and calibrated using the ZQ pin connected to a precision resistor. Two impedance ranges are selectable: low (52–105 Ω) and high (105–150 Ω) Thevenin equivalent, both tracking the ZQ resistor value. This feature eliminates the need for external termination resistors on D[17:0] lines.
What is the function of the QVLD pin on the R1QDA7218ABG-20IB0?
The QVLD (Q Valid) pin on the R1QDA7218ABG-20IB0 is an output signal that indicates the validity window of read data on Q[17:0]. It asserts half a clock cycle before the first valid data word and deasserts half a cycle before the last, and is edge-aligned with CQ//CQ. This allows external logic to precisely gate data capture without relying on fixed delay chains or complex deskew circuits - a critical capability for reliable operation at 500 MHz. QVLD is present only on QDR-II+ and DDR-II+ devices.
How many address bits does the R1QDA7218ABG-20IB0 require for full memory access?
The R1QDA7218ABG-20IB0 has a 4,194,304-word × 18-bit organization, requiring 22 address bits to select each word. However, the device exposes only 20 synchronous address inputs (SA[19:0]) because the two least-significant bits are generated internally to support the mandatory burst-of-4 operation. During a read or write cycle, the device automatically increments the address across four consecutive locations (A, A+1, A+2, A+3), eliminating the need for external LSB toggling.
What is the purpose of the ZQ pin on the R1QDA7218ABG-20IB0?
The ZQ pin on the R1QDA7218ABG-20IB0 serves as the reference terminal for programmable output impedance and on-die termination calibration. It must be connected to a precision resistor (RQ) tied to VSS, where RQ = 5 × the desired output driver impedance (e.g., 250 Ω for 50 Ω output). The device measures this resistance during initialization and configures both output drivers and ODT circuitry accordingly. The total capacitance on the ZQ net must remain below 7.5 pF to ensure calibration accuracy.
