The ON Semiconductor serial SRAM family includes several
integrated memory devices including this 256 kb serially accessed
Static Random Access Memory, internally organized as 32 k words by
8 bits. The devices are designed and fabricated using
ON Semiconductor’s advanced CMOS technology to provide both
high−speed performance and low power. The devices operate with a
single chip select (CS
Interface (SPI) serial bus. A single data in and data out line is used
along with a clock to access data within the devices. The N25S818HA
devices include a HOLD
to be paused. While paused, input transitions will be ignored. The
devices can operate over a wide temperature range of −40°C to +85°C
and can be available in several standard package offerings.

Functional Operation
Basic Operation
The 256 Kb serial SRAM is designed to interface directly
with a standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) common on
many standard micro−controllers. It may also interface with
other non−SPI ports by programming discrete I/O lines to
operate the device.
The serial SRAM contains an 8−bit instruction register
and is accessed via the SI pin. The CS

Hold function will not be invoked until the next SCK high to low transition. The device must remain

RDSR0000 0101Read status register
WRSR0000 0001Write status register
READ Operations
The serial SRAM READ is selected by enabling CS low.
First, the 8−bit READ instruction is transmitted to the device
followed by the 16−bit address with the MSB being a don’t
care. After the READ instruction and addresses are sent, the
data stored at that address in memory is shifted out on the SO
pin after the output valid time from the clock edge.
If operating in page mode, after the initial word of data is
shifted out, the data stored at the next memory location on
the page can be read sequentially by continuing to provide
clock pulses. The internal address pointer is automatically
incremented to the next higher address on the page after each
word of data is read out. This can be continued for the entire
page length of 32 words long. At the end of the page, the
addresses pointer will be wrapped to the 0 word address
within the page and the operation can be continuously
looped over the 32 words of the same page.
If operating in burst mode, after the initial word of data is
shifted out, the data stored at the next memory location can
be read sequentially by continuing to provide clock pulses.
The internal address pointer is automatically incremented to
the next higher address after each word of data is read out.
This can be continued for the entire array and when the
highest address is reached (7FFFh), the address counter
wraps to the address 0000h. This allows the burst read cycle
to be continued indefinitely.
All READ operations are terminated by pulling CS
high.

WRITE Operations
The serial SRAM WRITE is selected by enabling CS low.
First, the 8−bit WRITE instruction is transmitted to the

address requested is sequential on the same page. Simply
write the data on SI pin and continue to provide clock pulses.
The internal address pointer is automatically incremented to
the next higher address on the page after each word of data
is written in. This can be continued for the entire page length
of 32 words long. At the end of the page, the addresses

already stored in the memory locations.
If operating in burst mode, after the initial word of data is
shifted in, additional data words can be written to the next
sequential memory locations by continuing to provide clock
pulses. The internal address pointer is automatically
incremented to the next higher address after each word of
data is read out. This can be continued for the entire array
and when the highest address is reached (7FFFh), the
address counter wraps to the address 0000h. This allows the
burst write cycle to be continued indefinitely. Again, the new
data will replace data already stored in the memory
locations.

register and select among several operating modes. Several
of the register bits must be set to a low ‘0’ if any of the other
CS
bits are written. The timing sequence to write to the status
register is shown below, followed by the organization of the
status register.
This instruction provides the ability to read the Status register. The register may be read at any time by performing the
