General Descrip ti on
The CMOS bq4016 is a nonvolatile
8,388,608-bit static RAM organized
as 1,048,576 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 is
unconditionally write-protected to
prevent an inadvertent write
operation.

At this time the integral energy
source is swit ched on to sustain the
memory until after V

The bq4016 uses extremely low
standby current CMOS SRAMs,
coupled with a small lithium coin
cell to provide nonvolatility without
long w rit e-cy cl e tim es an d th e wri tecycle limitations associated with
EEPROM.
The bq4016 has the same interface
as industry-standard SRAMs and requires no external circuitry.

Functional Description
When power is valid, the bq4016 operates as a standard
CMOS SRAM. During power-down and power-up cycles,
the bq4 016 ac ts as a no nvolati le memo ry, automa tically
protecting and preserving the memory contents.

The internal coin cells used by the bq4016 have an
extremely long shelf life. The bq4016 provides data
retention for 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.)
