The M48Z08/18 ZEROPOWER® RAM is an 8 K x 8 non-volatile static RAM which is pin and
function compatible with the DS1225.
The monolithic chip provides a highly integrated battery-backed memory solution.
The M48Z08/18 is a non-volatile pin and function equivalent to any JEDEC standard 8 K x 8
SRAM. It also easily fits into many ROM, EPROM, and EEPROM sockets, providing the
non-volatility of PROMs without any requirement for special write timing or limitations on the
number of writes that can be performed.

button cell in a single package.

2 Operation modes
The M48Z08/18 also has its own power-fail detect circuit. The control circuitry constantly
monitors the single 5 V supply for an out of tolerance condition. When V
tolerance, the circuit write protects the SRAM, providing a high degree of data security in the
midst of unpredictable system operation brought on by low V
. As VCC falls below
CC
approximately 3 V, the control circuitry connects the battery which maintains data until valid
power returns.

2.1 READ mode
The M48Z08/18 is in the READ mode whenever W (WRITE enable) is high and E (chip
enable) is low. The device architecture allows ripple-through access of data from eight of
65,536 locations in the static storage array. Thus, the unique address specified by the 13
address inputs defines which one of the 8,192 bytes of data is to be accessed. Valid data

2.3 Data retention mode
With valid VCC applied, the M48Z08/18 operates as a conventional BYTEWIDE™ static
RAM. Should the supply voltage decay, the RAM will automatically power-fail deselect, write

Note:A power failure during a WRITE cycle may corrupt data at the currently addressed location,
but does not jeopardize the rest of the RAM's content. At voltages below V
user can be assured the memory will be in a write protected state, provided the V
is not less than t

bypass capacitors will be released as low going spikes are generated or energy will be
absorbed when overshoots occur. A ceramic bypass capacitor value of 0.1 µF (as shown in
Figure 7) is recommended in order to provide the needed filtering.
In addition to transients that are caused by normal SRAM operation, power cycling can
generate negative voltage spikes on V

backup mode. To protect from these voltage spikes, STMicroelectronics recommends
