General Description
The CMOS bq4017 is a nonvolatile
16,777,216-bit static RAM organized
as 2,097,152 words by 8 bits. The
integral control circuitry and lith
ium energy source provide reliable
nonvolatility coupled with the un
limited 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
At this time the integral energy
source is switched on to sustain the
memory until after V
returns valid.
CC
The bq4017 uses extremely low
standby current CMOS SRAMs, cou
pled with small lithium coin cells to
provide nonvolatility without long
write-cycle times and the write-cycle
limitations associated with EE
PROM.
The bq4017 has the same interface
as industry-standard SRAMs and

Functional Description
When power is valid, the bq4017 operates as a standard
CMOS SRAM. During power-down and power-up cycles,
the bq4017 acts as a nonvolatile memory, automatically
protecting and preserving the memory contents.
Power-down/power-up control circuitry constantly moni
tors the V

. The bq4017 monitors for V
PFD
use in systems with 5% supply tolerance. The bq4017Y
monitors for V
with 10% supply tolerance.
When V
automatically write-protects the data. All outputs be
come 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
pletion. If the memory cycle fails to terminate within

The internal coin cells used by the bq4017 have an ex
tremely long shelf life. The bq4017 provides data reten
tion for more than 5 years in the absence of system
power.
As shipped from Unitrode, the integral lithium cells are
electrically isolated from the memory. (Self-discharge in
this condition is approximately 0.5% per year.) Follow
