you understand when i ask about samples?

What happen if i buy some memory and it doesn't satisfied my design?

Lost the money and dump 25 chips??

Or buy one of them for a few bucks. Probably easier then trying to get samples.

Out of pure curiosity: why do you need RAM that small outside of your uC when you can have it inside with no interface hassles?

Maybe someone sampled him a uC with only little internal SRAM? :-)

To the original poster:

is a good place to get small quantities of chips, as well as

haha No, i'm using a microchip pic 16f877 (i buy a lot of them). But... this device has only 337 bytes of sram and i need to use a buffer for the FAT temporary file. In digi key they only have a 256 bytes in serial sram, so i can buy it.

Any ideas?

You can go for FRAM chips instead. They aren't SRAM technology but are just as fast, and thus a good replacement for your purpose (prototyping small quantities). Ramtron is a big player at making serial FRAM chips.

Yes. Choose a microcontroler that really suits your needs. External, very slow serial RAM doesn't look too reasonable to me.

Maybe Texas MSP430F149? - 2K non-banked RAM inside.
