Technical Specifications
The MT48LC8M16A2TG-7E operates with a clock frequency determined by the speed grade ('-7E' indicates a specific timing, commonly 143 MHz or 7ns access time, but the datasheet is definitive). It supports auto-refresh and self-refresh modes to minimize power consumption when not actively accessed. The device utilizes LVTTL-compatible inputs and outputs. The package is typically a TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package). Refer to the Micron datasheet for detailed timing parameters, power consumption figures, and other electrical characteristics.
The MT48LC8M16A2TG-7E is suitable for applications that require a moderate amount of memory with reasonable access speeds. Its synchronous operation and standard interface simplify integration into various systems. Always consult the official Micron datasheet for detailed specifications and application guidelines.
