Product details
Overview
UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1 from Renesas Electronics is a 4,194,304-word × 18-bit synchronous Quad Data Rate II (QDR II) SRAM with HSTL interface, 4.0 ns clock cycle time (250 MHz), 1.8 V core supply, and 165-pin plastic BGA (15 × 17 mm) packaging. It supports concurrent read/write operations, burst-4 DDR transfers, and DLL/PLL-based output timing control for high-speed networking and packet buffering applications.
For engineers reviewing the UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1 datasheet, UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1 pinout, UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1 application, or UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases in telecom infrastructure, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1 implements a dual-port synchronous architecture with independent read and write data paths, enabling simultaneous access without arbitration delay. Its input clock pair (K/K#) registers address and control on rising edges, while output clocks (C/C#) or echo clocks (CQ/CQ#) precisely align data valid windows to receiving logic.
Burst-4 operation reduces address bus frequency by 4× versus single-word access, and the integrated DLL/PLL ensures stable output timing across process/voltage/temperature variations. Byte write enable signals BW0# and BW1# allow selective 9-bit sub-word writes within the 18-bit data width, supporting efficient memory updates in packet processing pipelines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 4,194,304 words × 18 bits - provides 72 Mbit density optimized for 16–18 bit datapath systems like network switch ASICs. |
| Clock Cycle Time | 4.0 ns - enables 250 MHz DDR operation with guaranteed timing margins per Renesas AC specs. |
| Core Supply Voltage | 1.8 V ± 0.1 V - requires tight regulation; VDD must be applied before VDDQ during power-up to prevent latch-up. |
| I/O Interface | HSTL Class I - compatible with FPGA/ASIC HSTL receivers; VREF = VDDQ/2 reference required for signal integrity. |
| Package | 165-pin plastic BGA (15 × 17 mm) - matches JEDEC MO-245 standard; 0.8 mm ball pitch supports high-density routing. |
| Output Impedance Control | User-programmable 35–70 Ω via ZQ pin - enables dynamic impedance matching to PCB trace characteristics without external termination. |
| JTAG Support | IEEE 1149.1 compliant - allows boundary-scan testing of interconnects and embedded system debug via TDI/TDO/TCK/TMS pins. |
Pinout & Package
UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1 uses a 165-pin plastic BGA (15 × 17 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) per JEDEC MO-245. Pin functions are defined for the 4M × 18 configuration; expansion address pins (2A, 7A) support 144 Mb/288 Mb density upgrades.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| K, K# | Input clock pair | Registers all address/control inputs on rising edge of K; K# must be 180° out-of-phase for jitter-free sampling. |
| C, C# | Output clock pair | Controls output data timing: C# rising edge clocks Q0–Q8/Q10–Q17; C rising edge clocks Q9/Q18–Q17; tied HIGH to use K/K# instead. |
| R#, W# | Read/Write command inputs | Active-low synchronous commands; mutually exclusive-consecutive R#/W# asserts on same K edge are ignored. |
| BW0#, BW1# | Byte write select inputs | Enable 9-bit sub-word writes: BW0#=0/BW1#=0 → full 18-bit write; BW0#=0/BW1#=1 → D0–D8 only; etc. |
| ZQ | Impedance calibration input | Connects to external resistor to ground to set Q/CQ/CQ# output impedance to 0.2 × RQ; cannot be left floating or tied to VSS. |
| VREF | HSTL reference voltage | Nominally VDDQ/2; must be stable within ±20 mV to ensure correct HSTL input threshold detection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Concurrent Read/Write Ports | Enables full-duplex memory access-critical for real-time packet buffering where ingress traffic writes while egress reads. |
| 4-Tick Burst Operation | Reduces address bus toggling by 75% versus single-word access, lowering EMI and simplifying controller address generation logic. |
| DLL/PLL Timing Engine | Extends data valid window across PVT variations; locks within 20 μs of stable clock-enables reliable 250 MHz DDR signaling. |
| User-Programmable Output Impedance | 35–70 Ω range via ZQ pin eliminates need for discrete series termination resistors, saving board space and cost. |
| Clock-Stop Capability | Enters low-power state when K/K# halted; resumes normal operation within 20 μs-supports dynamic power gating in bursty traffic scenarios. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar QDR II SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C2663KV18-400BZXC | 4M × 18, 400 MHz (2.5 ns), 1.8 V core, 165-pin BGA-but uses SSTL-2 I/O, not HSTL. | Requires SSTL-2 receiver compatibility; higher speed but stricter layout rules for stub-free routing. | Select when system already uses SSTL-2 interfaces and needs >250 MHz bandwidth; verify VREF and termination match. |
| AS7C34098B-25JCN | 4M × 18, 250 MHz (4.0 ns), 1.8 V core, but asynchronous SRAM-not QDR II-no burst or DLL. | Lacks DDR timing, concurrent ports, and echo clocks; requires external address sequencing logic. | Choose only for legacy designs lacking QDR controller IP; expect 30–50% lower effective bandwidth and higher controller complexity. |
Compared with CY7C2663KV18-400BZXC and AS7C34098B-25JCN, UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1 uniquely delivers HSTL compatibility, DLL-assisted timing margin at 250 MHz, and true concurrent dual-port operation-making it optimal for new telecom and networking designs requiring robust, low-jitter memory interfacing.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1?
The UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1 is rated for 250 MHz operation with a 4.0 ns clock cycle time. This is confirmed in the Renesas datasheet M19959EJ2V0DS under "Recommended AC Operating Conditions." The device achieves this using its internal DLL/PLL circuitry to stabilize output timing, and operation above 250 MHz is not guaranteed or characterized.
Does UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1 support true concurrent read and write operations?
Yes, UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1 features physically separate read and write data ports, allowing simultaneous read and write transactions without arbitration delay. As stated in the datasheet's "Features" section and Block Diagram, this architecture enables full-duplex memory access-essential for real-time packet buffering applications.
What is the purpose of the ZQ pin on UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1?
The ZQ pin on UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1 is used for output impedance calibration. When connected to an external resistor to ground, it sets the drive strength of Q, CQ, and CQ# outputs to 0.2 × RQ. The datasheet specifies that ZQ must never be left unconnected or tied to VSS, and impedance recalibration occurs every 20 μs after power-up.
Can UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1 operate with only the K/K# clocks, without using C/C#?
Yes, UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1 can operate using only K/K# for output timing: tie C and C# HIGH to force data outputs to be synchronized to K/K# rising edges. The datasheet explicitly states this mode is supported, though C/C# are recommended for tighter flight-time matching in high-speed systems.
Is UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1 lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1 is lead-free and RoHS compliant, as indicated in the "Ordering Information" table of the Renesas datasheet M19959EJ2V0DS, which lists "Lead-free" under the Package column for all variants including UPD44645184AF5-E40-FQ1-A.
