Additional Details

The GS8662D38BGD-500 is organized as 2M x 36 bits. The -500 typically indicates a speed grade of 500 MHz. The device normally operates at a supply voltage of 1.8V or 2.5V, and the specific voltage can impact access times and power consumption. Typically it is packaged in a BGA (Ball Grid Array) package for surface mount assembly. Actual power consumption figures (active and standby) are available in the component datasheet. Burst lengths are programmable allowing for flexibility in memory access. Features such as on-chip parity checking or error correction (ECC) may be included to ensure data integrity. Operating temperature range is typically commercial (0°C to +70°C) or industrial (-40°C to +85°C). It is also designed with controlled impedance for signal integrity in high-speed environments. The memory array is fabricated using advanced CMOS technology optimized for speed and low power dissipation.
