Nonvolatile Static RAM
DESCRIPTION
The Simtek STK15C88 is a fast static RAM with a
nonvolatile, electrically-erasable PROM 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
automatically on power down using charge stored in
system capacitance. Transfers from the EEPROM to
the SRAM (the

STORE and RECALL cycles can also be controlled
by entering control sequences on the SRAM inputs.

device. This a stress rating only, and functional operation
of the device at conditions above those indicated in the
operational sections of this specification is not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for
extended periods may affect reliability.
