General Descrip ti on
The CMOS bq4014 is a nonvolatile
2,097,152-bit static RAM organized as
262,144 words by 8 bits. The integral
control circuitry and lithium energy
source provide reliable nonvolatility
coupled with the unlimited write
cycles 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

The bq4014 uses extremely low

Functional Description
When power is valid, the bq4014 operates as a standard
CMOS SRAM. During power-down and power-up cycles,
the bq4 014 ac ts as a no nvolati le memo ry, automa tically
protecting and preserving the memory contents.

The internal coin cells used by the bq4014 have an

more than 10 years in the absence of system power.
As shipped from Benchmarq, the integral lithium cells
are electrically isolated from the memory. (Self-discharge
in this condition is approximately 0.5% per year.)
