Description
The U631H64 has two separate
modes of operation: SRAM mode
and nonvolatile mode. In SRAM
mode, the memory operates as an
ordinary static RAM. In nonvolatile
operation, data is transferred in
parallel from SRAM to EEPROM or
from EEPROM to SRAM. In this
mode SRAM functions are disabled.
The U631H64 is a fast static RAM
(25, 35, 45 ns), with a nonvolatile
electrically erasable PROM
(EEPROM) element incorporated
in each static memory cell. The
SRAM can be read and written an
unlimited number of times, while
independent nonvolatile data resides in EEPROM. Data transfers
from the SRAM to the EEPROM
(the STORE operation), or from the
EEPROM to the SRAM (the
RECALL operation) are initiated
through software sequences.
U631H64
SoftStore
The U631H64 combines the high
performance and ease of use of a
fast SRAM with nonvolatile data
integrity.
Once a STORE cycle is initiated,
further input or output are disabled
until the cycle is completed.
Because a sequence of addresses
is used for STORE initiation, it is
important that no other read or write
accesses intervene in the sequence
or the sequence will be aborted.
Internally, RECALL is a two step
procedure. First, the SRAM data is
cleared and second, the nonvolatile
information is transferred into the
SRAM cells.
The RECALL operation in no way
alters the data in the EEPROM
cells. The nonvolatile data can be
recalled an unlimited number of
times.

U631H64
Device Operation
The U631H64 has two separate modes of operation:
SRAM mode and nonvolatile mode. In SRAM mode,
the memory operates as a standard fast static RAM. In
nonvolatile mode, data is transferred from SRAM to
EEPROM (the STORE operation) or from EEPROM to
SRAM (the RECALL operation). In this mode SRAM
functions are disabled.
SRAM READ
The U631H64 performs a READ cycle whenever E
G
are LOW while W is HIGH. The address specified on
and
pins A0 - A12 determines which of the 8192 data bytes
will be accessed. When the READ is initiated by an
address transition, the outputs will be valid after a delay
of t
. If the READ is initiated by E or G, the outputs will

SRAM WRITE
A WRITE cycle is performed whenever E
and W are
LOW. The address inputs must be stable prior to
entering the WRITE cycle and must remain stable until
either E
or W goes HIGH at the end of the cycle. The
data on pins DQ0 - 7 will be written into the memory if it
is valid t

NOISE CONSIDERATION
The U631H64 is a high speed memory and therefore it
must have a high frequency bypass capacitor of approximately 0.1 µF connected between V
leads and traces that are as short as possible. As with
and VSS using
CC
all high speed CMOS ICs, normal carefull routing of
power, ground and signals will help prevent noise
problems.
SOFTWARE NONVOLATILE STORE
The U631H64 software controlled STORE cycle is
initiated by executing sequential READ cycles from six
specific address locations. By relying on READ cycles
only, the U631H64 implements nonvolatile operation
while remaining compatible with standard 8K x 8
SRAMs. During the STORE cycle, an erase of the pre-
vious nonvolatile data is first performed, followed by
parallel programming of all nonvolatile elements. Once
a STORE cycle is initiated, further inputs and outputs
are disabled until the cycle is completed.
Because a sequence of addresses is used for STORE
initiation, it is important that no other READ or WRITE
accesses intervene in the sequence or the sequence
will be aborted and no STORE or RECALL will take
place.
To initiate the STORE cycle the following READ
sequence must be performed:
1. Read address 0000 (hex)Valid READ
2. Read address 1555 (hex)Valid READ
3. Read address 0AAA(hex)Valid READ
4. Read address 1FFF(hex)Valid READ
5. Read address 10F0 (hex)Valid READ
6. Read address 0F0F(hex)Initiate STORE
Once the sixth address in the sequence has been
entered, the STORE cycle will commence and the chip
will be disabled. It is important that REA D cycles and
not WRITE cycles are used in the sequence. It is not
necessary that G

tion.
SOFTWARE NONVOLATILE RECALL
A RECALL cycle of the EEPROM data into the SRAM
is initiated with a sequence of READ operations in a
manner similar to the STORE initiation. To initiate the
RECALL cycle the following sequence of READ operations must be performed:
1. Read address 0000 (hex)Valid READ
2. Read address 1555 (hex)Valid READ
3. Read address 0AAA(hex)Valid READ
4. Read address 1FFF(hex)Valid READ
5. Read address 10F0 (hex)Valid READ
6. Read address 0F0E(hex)Initiate RECALL
Internally, RECALL is a two step procedure. First, the
SRAM data is cleared and second, the nonvolatile
information is transferred into the SRAM cells. The
RECALL operation in no way alters the data in the
EEPROM cells. The nonvolatile data can be recalled
an unlimited number of times.

LOW AVERAGE ACTIVE POWER
The U631H64 has been designed to draw significantly
less power when E
is LOW (chip enabled) but the
access cycle time is longer than 55 ns.
When E
is HIGH the chip consumes only standby current.
The overall average current drawn by the part depends
on the following items:
1. CMOS or TTL input levels
2. the time during which the chip is disabled (E
3. the cycle time for accesses (E

4. the ratio of READs to WRITEs
5. the operating temperature
