End-of-Life Annoucement
End-of-Life has been announced for the QuickRAM PLCC, ceramic and PQ240 packages. Please click here for more details.
Family Summary
The QuickRAM family of programmable devices offers a unique combination of RAM features that are ideal for designs with extremely high-performance RAM, ROM and FIFO requirements. QuickRAM devices embed up to 25,344 bits of SRAM in an array of configurable logic, enabling RAM and ROM functions to run at speeds over 200 MHz and FIFOs to run at speeds of over 160 MHz.
