The Cypress CY14B101LA/CY14B101NA is a fast static RAM,
with a nonvolatile element in each memory cell. The memory is
organized as 128K bytes of 8 bits each or 64K words of 16 bits
each. The embedded nonvolatile elements incorporate
QuantumTrap technology, producing the world’s most reliable
nonvolatile memory. The SRAM provides infinite read and write
cycles, while independent nonvolatile data resides in the highly
reliable QuantumTrap cell. Data transfers from the SRAM to the
nonvolatile elements (the STORE operation) takes place
automatically at power down. On power up, data is restored to
the SRAM (the RECALL operation) from the nonvolatile memory.
Both the STORE and RECALL operations are also available
under software control.

The CY14B101LA/CY14B101NA nvSRAM is made up of two
functional components paired in the same physical cell. They are
an SRAM memory cell and a nonvolatile QuantumTrap cell. The
SRAM memory cell operates as a standard fast static RAM. Data
in the SRAM is transferred to the nonvolatile cell (the STORE
operation), or from the nonvolatile cell to the SRAM (the RECALL
operation). Using this unique architecture, all cells are stored and
recalled in parallel. During the STORE and RECALL operations,
SRAM read and write operations are inhibited. The
CY14B101LA/CY14B101NA supports infinite reads and writes
similar to a typical SRAM. In addition, it provides infinite RECALL
operations from the nonvolatile cells and up to 200K STORE
operations. Refer to the Truth Table For SRAM Operations on
page 15for a complete description of read and write modes.

To reduce unnecessary nonvolatile stores, AutoStore and
Hardware STORE operations are ignored unless at least one
write operation has taken place since the most recent STORE or
RECALL cycle. Software initiated STORE cycles are performed
regardless of whether a write operation has taken place. The
HSB
signal is monitored by the system to detect if an AutoStore
cycle is in progress.

SRAM Write
A write cycle is performed when CE and WE are LOW and HSB
is HIGH. The address inputs must be stable before entering the
write cycle and must remain stable until CE

the end of the cycle. The data on the common I/O pins DQ
are written into the memory if the data is valid tSD before the end
of a WE

AutoStore operation is a unique feature of QuantumTrap
technology and is enabled by default on the
CY14B101LA/CY14B101NA.

Software STORE
Data is transferred from SRAM to the nonvolatile memory by a
software address sequence. The CY14B101LA/CY14B101NA
Software STORE cycle is initiated by executing sequential CE
controlled read cycles from six specific address locations in
exact order. During the STORE cycle an erase of the previous
nonvolatile data is first performed, followed by a program of the
nonvolatile elements. After a STORE cycle is initiated, further
input and output are disabled until the cycle is completed.
Because a sequence of READs from specific addresses is used
for STORE initiation, it is important that no other read or write
accesses intervene in the sequence, or the sequence is aborted
and no STORE or RECALL takes place.
To initiate the Software STORE cycle, the following read
sequence must be performed:
1. Read Address 0x4E38 Valid READ
2. Read Address 0xB1C7 Valid READ
3. Read Address 0x83E0 Valid READ
4. Read Address 0x7C1F Valid READ

Software RECALL
Data is transferred from nonvolatile memory to the SRAM by a
software address sequence. A Software RECALL cycle is
initiated with a sequence of read operations in a manner similar
to the Software STORE initiation. To initiate the RECALL cycle,

performed:

Preventing AutoStore
The AutoStore function is disabled by initiating an AutoStore

The AutoStore is reenabled by initiating an AutoStore enable
sequence. A sequence of read operations is performed in a
manner similar to the Software RECALL initiation. To initiate the
AutoStore enable sequence, the following sequence of CE
controlled read operations must be performed:
