The M48Z129Y/V ZEROPOWER® SRAM is a
1,048,576 bit non-volatile static RAM organized as
131,072 words by 8 bits. The device combines an
internal lithium battery, a CMOS SRAM and a control circuit in a plastic 32-pin DIP Module. The
M48Z129Y/V directly replaces industry standard
128K x 8 SRAM. It also provides the non-volatility
of FLASH without any requirement for special
WRITE timing or limitations on the number of
WRITEs that can be performed.

can be reduced if capacitors are used to store energy which stabilizes the V
