U2164D 4x16K RAM IC DIP 16-Pin

U2164D 4x16K RAM IC DIP 16-Pin

The U2164D is a 64K-bit dynamic RAM (DRAM) chip organized as four 16K-bit banks, each 1-bit wide, packaged in a 16-pin Dual In-line Package (DIP). Manufactured in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) during the 1980s, it was produced by VEB Kombinat Mikroelektronik Erfurt (KME). This chip was commonly used in vintage computing systems and arcade machines.

As a DRAM, the U2164D requires periodic refreshing to maintain data integrity. It operates with a 150ns access time and supports a refresh cycle of 128 cycles every 2 microseconds. The chip’s architecture allows for efficient data storage and retrieval, making it suitable for applications where space and power efficiency are crucial.

While the U2164D is no longer in production, it remains a valuable component for enthusiasts and restorers of vintage electronics. Its functionality is comparable to other 4164-type DRAM chips, such as the TMS4164, MB8264, and MK4116, which can serve as direct replacements in compatible systems.
