Additional Details
The MD2114A-4/B requires a single +5V power supply for operation. The access time of 450ns refers to the maximum time required for the data to be valid after the address lines are stable. The three-state outputs allow multiple memory devices to be connected to a common data bus. The static operation means that the data is retained as long as power is applied; no refresh cycles are needed. Rochester Electronics ensures that their recreated MD2114A-4/B parts meet or exceed the original specifications, providing a reliable source for legacy systems and applications. The '/B' suffix might indicate a slightly different timing or temperature range compared to the standard MD2114A-4 part. Datasheets from Rochester Electronics provide the specific details for their manufactured version.
