The CMOS bq4013/Y is a nonvolatile
1,048,576-bit static RAM organized as
131,072 words by 8 bits. The integral
control circuitry and lithium energy
source provide reliable nonvolatility
coupled with the unlimited write cy
cles of standard SRAM.
The control circuitry constantly
monitors the single 5V supply for an
out-of-tolerance condition. When
V
falls out of tolerance, the SRAM
CC
is unconditionally write-protected to
prevent inadvertent write operation.
At this time the integral energy
source is switched on to sustain the
memory until after V
returns valid.

The bq4013/Y uses an extremely
low standby current CMOS SRAM,
coupled with a small lithium coin
cell to provide nonvolatility without
long write-cycle times and the
write-cycle limitations associated
with EEPROM.
The bq4013/Y requires no external
circuitry and is socket-compatible
with industry-standard SRAMs and
most EPROMs and EEPROMs.

Functional Description
When power is valid, the bq4013/Y operates as a stan
dard CMOS SRAM. During power-down and power-up
cycles, the bq4013/Y acts as a nonvolatile memory, auto
matically protecting and preserving the memory con
tents.
Power-down/power-up control circuitry constantly moni

high impedance, and all inputs are treated as “don’t
care.” If a valid access is in process at the time of
power-fail detection, the memory cycle continues to com

The internal coin cell used by the bq4013/Y has an ex

more than 10 years in the absence of system power.
