DESCRIPTION
The Simtek STK14C88-M is a fast static RAM with a
nonvolatile, electrically erasable PROM element
incorporated in each static memory cell. The SRAM
can be read and written an unlimited number of
times, while independent nonvolatile data resides in
EEPROM
. Data transfers from the SRAM to the
EEPROM
(the STORE operation) can take place auto-
matically on power down. A 68
µF or larger capacitor
tied from V
CAP
to ground guarantees the STORE
operation, regardless of power-down slew rate or
loss of power from “hot swapping”. Transfers from
the EEPROM to the SRAM (the RECALL operation)
take place automatically on restoration of power. Ini-
tiation of STORE and RECALL cycles can also be
software
controlled
by
entering
specific
read
sequences. A hardware STORE may be initiated with
the HSB pin.
