Acal BFI has alternatives to fast synchronous SRAM (FSS). They will replace devices made obsolete by the planned withdrawal of Samsung from the FSS market. The pan-European distributor says its second-source service will enable OEMs and CEMs to avoid disruption, and offer improvements in system performance, reduced lead-times and fast sampling. Using fast synchronous SRAM, from specialist manufacturer GSI Technology, Acal BFi can cross-reference and sample a fit, form and function replacement for virtually any existing high-speed SRAM. Almost all available options of SRAM dice are held in bulk inventory. The SRAMs are also covered by a seven-year product lifetime support guarantee. Applications which could second-source to SRAM include networking, switches, routers and base-stations as well as VoIP, DSP, DSL line cards. OEMs in the industrial, medical and military sectors could also benefit.
