DESCRIPTION
The STK15C68 is a fast SRAM 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
EEPROM (the
STORE
matically on power down using charge stored in system
capacitance. Transfers from the EEPROM to the SRAM
(the
RECALL
operation) take place automatically on restoration of power. Initiation of STORE and RECALL
cycles can also be controlled by entering control
sequences on the SRAM inputs. The nvSRAM can be
used in place of existing 8K x 8 SRAMs and also matches
the pinout of 8k x 8 Battery Backed SRAMs, EPROMs,
and EEPROMs, allowing direct substitution while enhancing performance. There is no limit on the number of read
or write cycles that can be executed and no support circuitry is required for microprocessor interface.
