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

DEVICE OPERATION
STK15C88
The STK15C88 is a versatile memory chip that provides several modes of operation. The STK15C88
can operate as a standard 32K x 8

EEPROM shadow to which the SRAM infor-
mation can be copied, or from which the

be updated in nonvolatile mode.
NOISE CONSIDERATIONS
Note that the STK15C88 is a high speed memory
and so must have a high frequency bypass capacitor of approximately 0.1µF connected between DUT

and VSS, using leads and traces that are as short
CC
as possible. As with all high speed CMOS ICs, normal careful routing of power, ground and signals will
help prevent noise problems.

executing sequential
