technology and best-in-class SONOS nonvolatile technology—into one powerful product line.
In your system, the nvSRAM behaves just like a conventional SRAM. The SRAM part of the
• Random access
IC performs random access read/write at speeds up to 20 ns using standard Async SRAM
• Fast async memory timing
(20 ns access)
signals and timing. But on a power glitch or fail, the intelligence in the chip detects the threat
and automatically saves a copy of your SRAM data into nonvolatile memory where it can stay
unchanged for over 20 years. On power-up RECALL, the IC returns the data copy back to the
SRAM and system operation can continue precisely from where it was left last giving you a fast
SRAM that never loses data. The latest high density (16 Mb) nvSRAMs are also available in
• ONFI 1.0
• Standard SRAM, ONFI 1.0 compatible packages and pinouts
SAVES LIKE A NONVOLATILE MEMORY
ONFI 1.0 interface.
• Robust technology with 25 years
in production
The transfer between SRAM and nonvolatile array inside is completely parallel (cell for cell)
• 1,000,000 store cycles to nonvolatile elements
allowing the STORE operation to complete in 8 ms or less, without user knowledge. The IC
family also provides user controlled software STORE and RECALL initiation commands, as well
as a user controlled hardware STORE initiation command in most versions.
Cypress’s nvSRAMs are offered in industry-standard, RoHS-compliant packaging options
such as: TSOP, FBGA, SSOP, and SOIC packages.

SONOS NONVOL ATILE TECHNOLOGY
Our nonvolatile technology requires very low erase and programming currents, allowing full array STOREs from SRAM to nonvolatile in just 8 ms
following each power stop or brownout. Over 1million STORE cycles into SONOS nonvolatile cells can occur without damaging the structure. If
power is disrupted 5 times each day, this theoretically allows over 500 years of nonvolatile STORE’s and RECALL’s to your SRAM data.
SONOS Nonvolatile Technology is also used in Cypress’s flagship PSoC® (programmable system-on-chip) product, which has shipped over
1 billion devices.
AutoSTORE OPERATING MODE
AutoSTORE performs STORE operations in the background during power-down, using zero system time. A small external capacitor guarantees
sufficient energy to complete STORE when the system power supply drops below the minimum specified operating range. When power is
returned, data is automatically RECALL’ed from the nonvolatile elements into the SRAM once the supply reaches operating minimums.
