The UL635H256 has two separate
modes of operation: SRAM mode
and nonvolatile mode. In SRAM
mode, the memory operates as an
ordinary static RAM. In nonvolatile
operation, data is transferred in
parallel from SRAM to EEPROM or
from EEPROM to SRAM. In this
mode SRAM functions are disabled.
The UL635H256 is a fast static
RAM (35 and 45 ns), with a nonvolatile electrically erasable PROM
(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 STORE operation) take place
automatically upon power down
using charge stored in system
capacitance. Transfers from the
EEPROM to the SRAM (the
RECALL operation) take place
automatically on powerup.
The UL635H256 combines the
high performance and ease of use
of a fast SRAM with nonvolatile
data integrity.
STORE cycles also may be initiated under user control via a software sequence.
Once a STORE cycle is initiated,
further input or output are disabled
until the cycle is completed.
Because a sequence of addresses
is used for STORE initiation, it is
important that no other read or
write accesses intervene in the
sequence or the sequence will be
aborted.
RECALL cycles may also be initiated by a software sequence.
Internally, RECALL is a two step
procedure. First, the SRAM data is
cleared and second, the nonvolatile information is transferred into
the SRAM cells.
The RECALL operation in no way
alters the data in the EEPROM
cells. The nonvolatile data can be
recalled an unlimited number of
times.
All voltages are referenced to VSS = 0 V (ground).
All characteristics are valid in the power supply voltage range and in the operating temperature range specified.

UL635H256
Device Operation
The UL635H256 has two separate modes of operation:
SRAM mode and nonvolatile mode. The memory operates in SRAM mode as a standard fast static RAM.
Data is transferred in nonvolatile mode from SRAM to
EEPROM (the STORE operation) or from EEPROM to
SRAM (the RECALL operation). In this mode SRAM
functions are disabled.
STORE cycles may be initiated under user control via a
software sequence and are also automatically initiated
when the power supply voltage level of the chip falls
below V
. RECALL operations are automatically
SWITCH
initiated upon power up and may also occur when the
V
rises above V
CC
, after a low power condition.
SWITCH
RECALL cycles may also be initiated by a software
sequence.
SRAM READ
The UL635H256 performs a READ cycle whenever E
and G are LOW and W is HIGH. The address specified
on pins A0 - A14 determines which of the 32768 data
bytes will be accessed. When the READ is initiated by
an address transition, the outputs will be valid after a
delay of t
puts will be valid at t
. If the READ is initiated by E or G, the out-
cR

or at t
, whichever is later.
a(G)
The data outputs will repeatedly respond to address
changes within the t
access time without the need for
cR
transition on any control input pins, and will remain
valid until another address change or until E
brought HIGH or W
is brought LOW.
or G is
SRAM WRITE
A WRITE cycle is performed whenever E
and W are
LOW. The address inputs must be stable prior to
entering the WRITE cycle and must remain stable until
either E
or W goes HIGH at the end of the cycle. The
data on pins DQ0 - 7 will be written into the memory if it
is valid t
t
before the end of an E controlled WRITE.
su(D)
It is recommended that G
before the end of a W controlled WRITE or
su(D)
is kept HIGH during the
entire WRITE cycle to avoid data bus contention on the
common I/O lines. If G
turn off the output buffers t
is left LOW, internal circuitry will

Automatic STORE
The UL635H256 uses the intrinsic system capacitance
to perform an automatic STORE on power down. As
long as the decay rate from the system power supply is
smaller than 15 Vs
-1
the UL635H256 will safely and
automatically STORE the SRAM data in EEPROM on
power down.
In order to prevent unneeded STORE operations, automatic STORE will be ignored unless at least one
WRITE operation has taken place since the most
recent STORE or RECALL cycle. Software initiated
STORE cycles are performed regardless of whether or
not a WRITE operation has taken place.
Automatic RECALL
During power up, an automatic RECALL takes place. At
a low power condition (power supply voltage < V
SWITCH
an internal RECALL request may be latched. As soon
as power supply voltage exceeds the sense voltage of
V
be initiated and will take t
, a requested RECALL cycle will automatically
SWITCH
RESTORE
to complete.
If the UL635H256 is in a WRITE state at the end of
power up RECALL, the SRAM data will be corrupted.
To help avoid this situation, a 10 kΩ resistor should be
connected between W
and power supply voltage.
Software Nonvolatile STORE
The UL635H256 software controlled STORE cycle is
initiated by executing sequential READ cycles from six
specific address locations. By relying on READ cycles
only, the UL635H256 implements nonvolatile operation
while remaining compatible with standard 32K x 8
SRAMs. During the STORE cycle, an erase of the previous nonvolatile data is performed first, followed by a
parallel programming of all the nonvolatile elements.
Once a STORE cycle is initiated, further inputs and outputs are disabled until the cycle is completed.
Because a sequence of addresses is used for STORE
initiation, it is important 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
sequence must be performed:
1. Read addresses 0E38 (hex) Valid READ
2. Read addresses 31C7 (hex) Valid READ
3. Read addresses 03E0 (hex) Valid READ
4. Read addresses 3C1F (hex) Valid READ
5. Read addresses 303F(hex) Valid READ
6. Read addresses 0FC0 (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

SRAM will again be activated for READ and WRITE
operation.

Software Nonvolatile RECALL
A RECALL cycle of the EEPROM data into the SRAM
is initiated with a sequence of READ operations in a
manner similar to the STORE initiation. To initiate the
RECALL cycle the following sequence of READ operations must be performed:
Internally, RECALL is a two step procedure. First, the
SRAM data is cleared and second, the nonvolatile
information is transferred into the SRAM cells. After
