INTRODUCTION
The 71215 and 71216 represent a new generation of integrated Tag SRAMs. Just as earlier Tag SRAMs such as the 71B74 were better suited for tag applications than conventional SRAMs, the 71215/16 go a step further by integrating new features to significantly ease the design of high performance cache subsystems for today’s high speed processors. These Tag RAMs are designed for easy interfacing to Intel and PowerPC processors, but are very flexible and can easily be used in other applications as well.
