The recent product announcements for the ZBT family of synchronous memories have received a warm reception with a wide range of customers. The ability to perform back–to–back read/write cycles without any intermediate deselect cycles offers a substantial performance improvement for a variety of platforms which now utilize standard BurstRAMs. This application note describes some of the footprint changes required to adapt a current BurstRAM socket to a ZBT device. In addition, some of the operational differences are also discussed.
