The Simtek STK12C68-IM is a fast static RAM (25, 35
and 45ns), with a nonvolatile 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
operation) take place automatically upon power down
using charge stored in an external 100 µF capacitor.
Transfers from the EEPROM to the SRAM (the
operation) take place automatically on power up. Software sequences may also be used to initiate both

DEVICE OPERATION
STK12C68-IM
The STK12C68-IM 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
EEPROM to SRAM (the
SRAM functions are disabled.

operation) or from

RECALL
cycles may also be initiated by a
software sequence.
SRAM READ
The STK12C68-IM performs a READ cycle whenever E
and G are LOW and HSB and W are HIGH. The address
specified on pins A
determines which of the 8192
0-12
data bytes will be accessed. When the READ is initiated
by an address transition, the outputs will be valid after

E or G is brought HIGH or W or HSB is brought LOW.
SRAM WRITE
A write cycle is performed whenever E and W are LOW
and HSB is high. The address inputs must be stable prior
to entering the WRITE cycle and must remain stable
until either E or W go HIGH at the end of the cycle. The
data on pins DQ

address locations. By relying on READ cycles only, the
STK12C68-IM implements nonvolatile operation while
remaining compatible with standard 8Kx8 SRAMs.
During the
STORE
cycle, an erase of the previous
nonvolatile data is first performed, followed by a program of the nonvolatile elements. The program operation copies the SRAM data into the nonvolatile elements. Once a
STORE
cycle is initiated, further input
and output are disabled until the cycle is completed.
Because a sequence of addresses is used for
STORE
initiation, it is critical that no other read or write accesses intervene in the sequence or the sequence will
be aborted.
To initiate the
STORE
cycle the following READ se-
quence must be performed:
1. Read address0000 (hex)Valid READ
2. Read address1555 (hex)Valid READ
3. Read address0AAA (hex)Valid READ
4. Read address1FFF (hex)Valid READ
5. Read address10F0 (hex)Valid READ
6. Read address0F0F (hex)Initiate
STORE
Cycle
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 READ cycles and
not WRITE cycles be used in the sequence, although it
is not necessary that G be LOW for the sequence to be
valid. After the t
SRAM will again be activated for READ and WRITE
cycle time has been fulfilled, the

for READ cycles. All remaining inputs are assumed to
cycle, and current consumption is given for all inputs at
CMOS or TTL levels.
Figure 3
shows the same relationship for WRITE cycles. When E is HIGH, the chip
consumes only standby currents, and these plots do
not apply.
Figure 2
below
The cycle time used in
Figure 2
corresponds to the
length of time from the later of the last address transition or E going LOW to the earlier of E going HIGH or the
next address transition. W is assumed to be HIGH,
while the state of G does not matter. Additional current
is consumed when the address lines change state
while E is asserted. The cycle time used in
Figure 3
corresponds to the length of time from the later of W or
E going LOW to the earlier of W or E going HIGH.
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 HIGH); 3)
the cycle time for accesses (E LOW); 4) the ratio of
reads to writes; 5) the operating temperature; 6) the
VCC level; and 7) output load.
