DESCRIPTION
The CAT24C44 Serial NVRAM is a 256-bit nonvolatile memory organized as 16 words x 16 bits. The high speed Static RAM array is bit for bit backed up by a nonvolatile E2PROM array which allows for easy transfer of data from RAM array to E2PROM (STORE) and from E2PROM to RAM (RECALL). STORE operations are completed in 10ms max. and RECALL operations typically within 1.5μs. The CAT24C44 features unlimited RAM write operations either through external RAM writes or internal recalls from E2PROM. Internal false
store protection circuitry prohibits STORE operations when VCC is less than 3.5V (typical) ensuring E2PROM data integrity.
The CAT24C44 is manufactured using Catalyst’s advanced CMOS floating gate technology. It is designed to endure 100,000 program/erase cycles (E2PROM) and has a data retention of 10 years. The device is available in JEDEC approved 8-pin plastic DIP and SOIC packages.

Note:
(1)This parameter is tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter.
(2)The minimum DC input voltage is –0.5V. During transitions, inputs may undershoot to –2.0V for periods of less than 20 ns. Maximum DC voltage on output pins is VCC +0.5V, which may overshoot to VCC +2.0V for periods of less than 20 ns.
(3)Output shorted for no more than one second. No more than one output shorted at a time.
(4)Latch-up protection is provided for stresses up to 100 mA on address and data pins from –1V to VCC +1V.
