Static Ram Source

edited 2000-04-25 08:06 in General Discussion
Hi, I am looking for a place to buy a 512 - 4 meg SRAM. 1 meg preferred. I
have already tried mouser and digi key only to find that my order has been
permanently back ordered. I would like it to be dip so I can breadboard with
it. It seems like these are fading out of existence but my use is not.

Does any one know of a place where I can purchase a 1 meg dip SRAM that has
it in stock?

Thanks,

btw the mouser parts were less than $3.00 so any suggestions would be nice
if there were within that range.

    I am also looking for an SRAM chip...
    I need something 256k-1meg 300ns or less is acceptable.
    DIP is also preffered.
    I have also tried mouser and digikey with no luck.

    You haven't given all that much information in the way of exacting
    specifications,
    but I would expect Jameco might have what your seeking. Did either of you
    expect
    such a device to be Stamp compatable, or is this an OT request ?

    Hummm Ole Ryan-

    Runnin' me around in a circle again <g>.

    Let me say this differently - what are the specifications, or what chip
    was used in the sample/example or instructions ?

    The kind of information required is:
    Access -

    parallal (multi-pin data) or

    serial (single pin data),

    and if single pin data what access method

    SPI,
    Microwire,
    I2C, or what

    If I offer a chip which doesn't meet the needs of your program, you'll have
    to
    change the program. If that's okay - fine - the answer is proably Jameco.
    They
    have all sorts of DIP SRAM. If you want to be more specific, I've got scads of
    references and links, as well as datasheets, etc. I *WAS* just trying to save
    us some time at MIDNITE last night ... hummm <sun's up already, g>.

    Lemme know

    Bruce

    I tried jameco and they have a 512K for $13, not even close to what mouser
    or digi key had. It is for a stamp produt but it will eventually be ported
    to a pic once it works so i need decent specs <100 ns seek, etc.

    Maybe on another thought i am trying to share a 16 bit bus with a ide hard
    drive ram and some other periphials. I thought it would work because only 1
    device uses the bus at once and is in hiz the rest of the time. I tried it
    with a 2k sram i had laying around and returns mostly garbage. Only a few
    bytes get through undisturbed, using the hard drive or not. But connect it
    directly it works fine. The only explanation i had was the 15 inch ide
    cable was acting like an antenna.

    How do i get it to source and sink more? The hard drive works fine and that
    is connected to the cable.

    Thanks
    Mike

    Mine too is for a mp3 player. I need fast access memory to use as a buffer
    and temp space to decode fat32. That is why im looking for a parallel and
    because this is a prototype I would like to use dip to use in my breadboard.

    The minimum transfer rate I can have is about 25 KB/s which is like 200,000
    baud in serial so that may not be an option. I can read data from the drive
    at about 200 KB/s and using this bandwidth would be helpful.

    Thanks

    A shared bus is an animal, all unto itself. There are timing and connectivity
    issues, along with buffering, etc. If you're looking for that kind of
    processor,
    you're into Intel, Zilog, Motorola, etc with ancillary peripheral abilities.
    I haven't looked recently at the Scenix site, but I'd kinda doubt they have an
    IDE (ATA) driver peripheral - yet. It's certainly worth a look [noparse][[/noparse]
    www.scenix.com ]
    and head for the virtual peripheral (VP) library.

    Have fun with it though !

    hmm I didnt have that problem... I cut an ide cable down to about 4 inches
    for mine...
    try that , although i doubt thats what is causeing it.

    how about just useing an old 30 pin SIMM?
    u think that would work?

    That is a good idea, I never considered it. Do you know what type of ram it
    is, or a pin out?
