SRAM vs SDRAM

Hi, I am about to design a system with uClinux, and I was wondering if the performances would be correct if I only used an SDRAM. SRAM is a bit expensive if I want to have enough memory to run...

Hi Michael,

> What is the difference in prize of this memory compared to sdram ? half ? twice ?

Depending on density, roughly twice. E.g. for low quantity:

MT48LC8M16 (8M x 16): ~ 10 USD

MT45W8MW16 (8M x 16): ~ 16 USD

MT45W4MW16 (4M x 16): ~ 11 USD

Your mileage may vary ;-)
