How do I read the type number?

GVT7132B36Q-9
^^----------------- GVT = Galvantech Inc.
GVT7132B36Q-9
              ?---- 58 = SyncBurst SRAM
                    4  = DRAM
                    28 = Flash (Dual Supply)
                    41 = SGRAM
                    48 = Synchronous DRAM
                    57 = Double Data Rate Synchronous DRAM
                    59 = Synchronous Late Write SRAM
GVT7132B36Q-9
              ?---- L = 3,3volt / blank = 5volt / V = 2,5volt
GVT7132B36Q-9
               ?--- C = CMOS
                    B = BiCMOS
GVT7132B36Q-9
     ^^^^^--------- Internal Organization: 
                    32B36  = 32K x 36 : check module size
GVT7132B36Q-9
              ?---- B3 = Takes 3.3 volt signal levels only
GVT7132B36Q-9
            ^------ Speed: 9 = 9ns etc.
