Description
The U635H256 has two separate
modes of operation: SRAM mode
and nonvolatile mode. In SRAM
mode, the memory operates as an
ordinary static RAM. In nonvolatile
operation, data is transferred in
parallel from SRAM to EEPROM or
from EEPROM to SRAM. In this
mode SRAM functions are disab-
led.
The U635H256 is a fast static RAM
(25, 35, 45 ns), with a nonvolatile
electrically erasable PROM
(EEPROM) element incorporated
in each static memory cell. The
SRAM can be read and written an
unlimited number of times, while
independent nonvolatile data resi-
des in EEPROM. Data transfers
from the SRAM to the EEPROM
(the STORE operation) take place
automatically upon power down
using charge stored in system
capacitance. Transfers from the
EEPROM to the SRAM (the
RECALL operation) take place
automatically on power up. The
U635H256 combines the high per-
formance and ease of use of a fast
SRAM with nonvolatile data inte-
grity.
STORE cycles also may be initiated
under user control via a software
sequence.
Once a STORE cycle is initiated,
further input or output are disabled
until the cycle is completed.
Because a sequence of addresses
is used for STORE initiation, it is
important that no other read or write
accesses intervene in the sequence
or the sequence will be aborted.
RECALL cycles may also be initia-
ted by a software sequence.
Internally, RECALL is a two step
procedure. First, the SRAM data is
cleared and second, the nonvolatile
information is transferred into the
SRAM cells.
The RECALL operation in no way
alters the data in the EEPROM
cells. The nonvolatile data can be
recalled an unlimited number of
times.
The U635H256 is pin compatible
with standard SRAMs.
