This multi-generational family of PSRAM devices combines the high throughput and power-saving benefits of DRAM technology with an SRAM-like interface at a much lower cost-per-bit. PSRAM’s single-bus architecture, hidden-refresh operation, and SRAM pin-compatibility make it a compelling alternative for low-power, cost-sensitive applications that currently use SRAM.

Micron PSRAM Advantages

If you design applications that require cache or buffered memory, you can leverage PSRAM's success in the handset market for your designs. With an industry-standard asynchronous interface and burst NOR Flash bus compatibility, PSRAM can easily be used in existing designs to replace SRAM or add functionality.

With a smaller architecture, Micron PSRAM is an attractive, lower-cost alternative to 6T SRAM. Backward-compatible with low-power SRAM, Micron’s PSRAM devices simplify the design process, enabling you to economically get your products to market on time. PSRAM is offered in a wide density range (4-128Mb) and also includes an extended temperature range of –40°C to 105°C to enable operation in extreme environments.
