DESCRIP TION
®
The M48Z2M1/2M1Y ZEROPOWER
RAM is a
non-volatile 16,777,216 bit Static RAM organized
as 2,097,152 words by 8 bits. The device combines
two internal lithium bat teries, CMO S SRA Ms and a
control circuit in a plastic 36 pin DIP long Module.
The ZEROPOWER RAM replaces industry standard SRAM s. It provides the nonvolatility of P ROMs
without any requirement for special write timing or
limitations on the number of writes that can be
performed.
This is preliminary information on a new product now in development or undergoing evaluation. Details are subject to change without notice.

DESCRIPTION (c ont’d)
The M48Z2M1/2M 1Y has its own Power-fail Detect
Circuit. The cont rol circuitry c onstantly monitors the
single 5V supply for an out of tolerance condition.
When V
is out of tolerance, the circuit write
CC
protects the SRAM, providing a high degree of data
security in the midst of unpredictable system operations brought on by low V
. As VCC falls below
CC
approximately 3V , the control circuitry connects the
batteries which sustain data until valid power returns.
READ MODE
The M48Z2M1/2M1Y is in the Read Mode when -
W (Write Enable) is high and E (Chip E nable)
ever
is low. The device architecture allows ripplethrough access of data from eight of 16,777,216
locations in the static storage array. Thus, the
unique address specified by the 21 Address Inputs
defines which one of the 2,097,152 bytes of data is
to be accessed. Valid data will be available at the
Data I/O pins within Address Access time (t
AVQV
after the last a ddress input signal is stable, provi ding that the
access times are also satisfied. If the
E (Chip Enable) and G (Output Enable)

access times are not met, valid data will be avail-

POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING and UNDERSHOOT PROT ECTION
transients, including those produced by output
I
CC
switching, can produce voltage fluc tuations, resulting in spikes on the V
bus. These transients can
CC
be reduced if capacitors are used to store energy,
which stabiliz es the V
bus. The energy stored in
CC
the bypass capacitors will be released as low going
spikes are generated or energy will be absorbed
when overshoots occur. A bypass capacitor value
of 0.1µF (as shown in Figure 8) is recommended
in order to provide the needed filtering.
In addition to transients that are c aused by norma l
SRAM operation, power cycling can generate
negative voltage spikes on V
values below V
by as much as one Volt. These
SS
that drive it to
CC
negative spikes can cause data corruption in the
SRAM while in battery backup mode. To protect
from these voltage spikes, it is recommeded to
connect a schottky diode from V
