DESCRIPTION
The Simtek STK12C68 is a fast static RAM with a
nonvolatile element incorporated in each static
memory cell. The SRAM can be read and written an
unlimited number of times, while independent, non-
volatile data resides in Nonvolatile Elements. Data
transfers from the SRAM to the Nonvolatile Elements
(the STORE operation) can take place automatically
on power down. A 68µF or larger capacitor tied from
VCAP to ground guarantees the STORE operation,
regardless of power-down slew rate or loss of power
from “hot swapping”. Transfers from the Nonvolatile
Elements to the SRAM (the RECALL operation) take
place automatically on restoration of power. Initia-
tion of STORE and RECALL cycles can also be soft-
ware controlled by entering specific read
sequences. A hardware STORE may be initiated with
the HSB pin.
