Sample Explanation

Hynix (HY) - ????

How do I read the type number?

HY57V28820HCT-H
^^----------------- Hy = Hynix
HY57V28820HCT-H
  ^^--------------- 57 = SDRAM
HY57V28820HCT-H
    ^-------------- V = 3,3volt
                    Y = 3,0volt
                    U = 2,5volt
                    W = 2,5/1,8volt
                    S = 1,8volt
HY57V28820HCT-H
     ^^------------ 16 = 16 Megabit chip  / 2K refresh
                    32 = 32 Megabit chip  / 4K refresh
                    64 = 64 Megabit chip  / 4K refresh
                    28 = 128 Megabit chip / 4K refresh
                    2A = 128 Megabit chip with TCSR/ 4K refresh
                    56 = 256 Megabit chip / 8K refresh
                    12 = 512 Megabit chip / 8K refresh
HY57V28820HCT-H
       ^----------- Width: 
                    4  = ? x ? x 4 : check module size/banks
                    8  = ? x ? x 8 : check module size/banks
                    16  = ? x ? x 16 : check module size/banks
                    32  = ? x ? x 32 : check module size/banks
HY57V28820HCT-H
        ^---------- Number of banks: 
                    1  = 2 Banks
                    2  = 4 Banks
HY57V28820HCT-H
     ^^^^---------- Internal Organization: 
                    2882  = 4 Banks x 4M x 8  (128Mbit) : check module size/banks
HY57V28820HCT-H
         ^--------- Interface: 
                    0  = LVTTL
                    1  = SSTL-3
HY57V28820HCT-H
              ^---- Speed: 
                    K  = PC133, CL2
                    H  = PC133, CL3
                    P  = PC100, CL2
                    S  = PC100, CL3

 

HY57V28820HCT-H = 128Mb chip PC133
