The Cypress STK15C88 is a 256Kb fast static RAM with a
nonvolatile element in each memory cell. The embedded
nonvolatile elements incorporate QuantumTrap
producing the world’s most reliable nonvolatile memory. The
SRAM provides unlimited 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.
PowerStore nvSRAM products depend on the intrinsic system
capacitance to maintain system power long enough for an
automatic store on power loss. If the power ramp from 5 volts
to 3.6 volts is faster than 10 ms, consider our 14C88 or 16C88
for more reliable operation.

STK15C88
Device Operation
Software STORE
The STK15C88 is a versatile memory chip that provides several
modes of operation. The STK15C88 can operate as a standard
32K x 8 SRAM. It has a32K x 8 nonvolatile element shadow to
which the SRAM information can be copied, or from wh ich the
SRAM can be updated in nonvolatile mode.
SRAM Read
The STK15C88 performs a READ cycle whenever CE and OE
are LOW while WE is HIGH. The address specified on pins A
determines the 32,768 data bytes accessed. When the READ is
0–14
initiated by an address transition, the outputs are valid after a
delay of t
the outputs are valid at t
cycle 2). The data outputs repeatedly respond to address
changes within the t

or OE is brought HIGH.
SRAM Write
A WRITE cycle is performed whenever CE and WE are LOW.
The address inputs must be stable prior to entering the WRITE
cycle and must remain stable until either CE
at the end of the cycle. The data on the common IO pins DQ
are written into the memory if it has valid tSD, before the end of
a WE

In order to prevent unneeded STORE operations, automatic
STOREs will be ignored unless at least one WRITE operation

whether a WRITE operation has taken place.

Data is transferred from the SRAM to the nonvolatile memory by
a software address sequence. The STK15C88 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. When a STORE cycle is initiated, 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. If they intervene, the
sequence is aborted and no STORE or RECALL takes place.
To initiate the software STORE cycle, the following READ
sequence is performed:
1. Read address 0x0E38, Valid READ
2. Read address 0x31C7, Valid READ
3. Read address 0x03E0, Valid READ
4. Read address 0x3C1F, Valid READ
5. Read address 0x303F, Valid READ
6. Read address 0x0FC0, Initiate STORE cycle
The software sequence is clocked with CE
controlled READs.
When the sixth address in the sequence is entered, the STORE
cycle commences and the chip is disabled. It is important that
READ cycles and not WRITE cycles are used in the seque nce.

Best Practices
nvSRAM products have been used effectively for over 15
years. While ease-of-use is one of the product’s main system
values, experience gained working with hundreds of applications has resulted in the following suggestions as best
practices:
■
The nonvolatile cells in an nvSRAM are programmed on the
test floor during final test and quality assurance. Incoming
inspection routines at customer or contract manufacturer’s
sites, sometimes, reprogram these values. Final NV patterns
are typically repeating patterns of AA, 55, 00, FF , A5, or 5A.
End product’s firmware should not assume a NV array is in
a set programmed state. Routines that check memory
content values to determine first time system configuration
and cold or warm boot status should always program a
unique NV pattern (for example, complex 4-byte pattern of
46 E6 49 53 hex or more random bytes) as part of the final
system manufacturing test to ensure these system routines
work consistently.
■
Power up boot firmware routines should rewrite the nvSRAM
into the desired state. While the nvSRAM is shipped in a
preset state, best practice is to again rewrite the nvSRAM
into the desired state as a safeguard against events that
might flip the bit inadvertently (program bugs and incoming
inspection routines).
