The SRAM can be read and written an unlimited number of times, while independent nonvolatile data resides in Nonvolatile Elements. Data transfers from the SRAM to the Nonvolatile Elements (the STORE operation) can take place automatically on power down using charge stored in system capacitance. Transfers from the Nonvolatile Elements to the SRAM (the RECALL operation) take place automatically on restoration of power. Initiation of STORE and RECALL cycles can also be controlled by entering control sequences on the SRAM inputs. The STK15C68 is pin-compatible with 8k x 8 SRAMs and battery-backed SRAMs, allowing direct substitution while enhancing performance. A similar device (STK16C68) with an internally integrated capacitor is available for systems with very fast slew rates. The STK12C68, which uses an external capacitor, is an alternative for these applications.

The STK15C68 can operate as a standard 8K x 8 SRAM. It has an 8K x 8 Nonvolatile Elements shadow to which the SRAM information can be copied, or from which the SRAM can be updated in nonvolatile mode. The STK15C68 software STORE cycle is initiated by executing sequential READ cycles from six specific address locations. During the STORE cycle an erase of the previous nonvolatile data is first performed, followed by a program of the nonvolatile elements. The program operation copies the SRAM data into nonvolatile memory. Once a STORE cycle is initiated, further input and output are disabled until the cycle is completed. NOISE CONSIDERATIONS Note that the STK15C68 is a high-speed memory and so must have a high-frequency bypass capacitor of approximately 0.1μF connected between VCC and VSS, using leads and traces that are as short as possible. As with all high-speed CMOS ICs, normal careful routing of power, ground and signals will help prevent noise problems. Because a sequence of READs from specific 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 and no STORE or RECALL will take place. SRAM READ To initiate the software STORE cycle, the following READ sequence must be performed: The STK15C68 performs a READ cycle whenever E and G are low and W is high. The address specified on pins A0-12 determines which of the 8,192 data bytes will be accessed. When the READ is initiated by an address transition, the outputs will be valid after a delay of tAVQV (READ cycle #1). If the READ is initiated by E or G, the outputs will be valid at tELQV or at tGLQV, whichever is later (READ cycle #2). The data outputs will repeatedly respond to address changes within the tAVQV access time without the need for transitions on any control input pins, and will remain valid until another address change or until E or G is brought high or W is brought low. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 0000 (hex) 1555 (hex) 0AAA (hex) 1FFF (hex) 10F0 (hex) 0F0F (hex) Valid READ Valid READ Valid READ Valid READ Valid READ Initiate STORE cycle The software sequence must be clocked with E controlled READs. Once the sixth address in the sequence has been entered, the STORE cycle will commence and the chip will be disabled. It is important that READ cycles and not WRITE cycles be used in the sequence, although it is not necessary that G be low for the sequence to be valid. After the tSTORE cycle time has been fulfilled, the SRAM will again be activated for READ and WRITE operation. SRAM WRITE A WRITE cycle is performed whenever E and W are low. The address inputs must be stable prior to entering the WRITE cycle and must remain stable until either E or W goes high at the end of the cycle. The data on the common I/O pins DQ0-7 will be written into the memory if it is valid tDVWH before the end of a W controlled WRITE or tDVEH before the end of an E controlled WRITE. SOFTWARE NONVOLATILE RECALL A software RECALL cycle is initiated with a sequence of READ operations in a manner similar to the software STORE initiation. To initiate the RECALL cycle, the following sequence of READ operations must be performed: It is recommended that G be kept high during the entire WRITE cycle to avoid data bus contention on the common I/O lines. If G is left low, internal circuitry will turn off the output buffers tWLQZ after W goes low.

First, the SRAM data is cleared, and second, the nonvolatile information is transferred into the SRAM cells. After the tRECALL cycle time the SRAM will once again be ready for READ and WRITE operations. The RECALL operation in no way alters the data in the Nonvolatile Elements. The nonvolatile data can be recalled an unlimited number of times. If the STK15C68 is in a WRITE state at the end of power-up RECALL, the SRAM data will be corrupted. To help avoid this situation, a 10K Ohm resistor should be connected either between W and system VCC or between E and system VCC. HARDWARE PROTECT The STK15C68 offers hardware protection against inadvertent STORE operation and SRAM WRITEs during low-voltage conditions. When VCC < VSWITCH, software STORE operations and SRAM WRITEs are inhibited. AutoStore™ OPERATION The STK15C68 uses the intrinsic system capacitance to perform an automatic store on power down. As long as the system power supply takes at least tSTORE to decay from VSWITCH down to 3.6V, the STK15C68 will safely and automatically store the SRAM data in Nonvolatile Elements on power down. LOW AVERAGE ACTIVE POWER The STK15C68 draws significantly less current when it is cycled at times longer than 50ns. Figure 2 shows the relationship between ICC and READ cycle time. Worst-case current consumption is shown for both CMOS and TTL input levels (commercial temperature range, VCC= 5.5V, 100% duty cycle on chip enable). Figure 3 shows the same relationship for WRITE cycles. If the chip enable duty cycle is less than 100%, only standby current is drawn when the chip is disabled. The overall average current drawn by the STK15C68 depends on the following items: 1) CMOS vs. TTL input levels; 2) the duty cycle of chip enable; 3) the overall cycle rate for accesses; 4) the ratio of READs to WRITEs; 5) the operating temperature; 6) the VCC level; and 7) I/O loading. In order to prevent unneeded STORE operations, automatic STORE will be ignored unless at least one WRITE operation has taken place since the most recent STORE or RECALL cycle. Softwareinitiated STORE cycles are performed regardless of whether a WRITE operation has taken place. POWER-UP RECALL During power up, or after any low-power condition (VCC < VRESET), an internal RECALL request will be latched. When VCC once again exceeds the sense voltage of VSWITCH, a RECALL cycle will automatically be initiated and will take tRESTORE to complete. 100 Average Active Current (mA) Average Active Current (mA) 100 80 60 40 TTL 20 80 60 TTL 40 CMOS 20 CMOS 0 0 50 100 150 Cycle Time (ns) 200 50 Figure 2: ICC (max) Reads March 2006 100 150 Cycle Time (ns) 200 Figure 3: ICC (max) Writes 8 Document Control # ML0009 rev 0.2 STK15C68 ORDERING INFORMATION STK15C68 - P F 45 I Temperature Range Blank = Commercial (0 to 70°C) I = Industrial (–40 to 85°C) Access Time 25 = 25ns 35 = 35ns 45 = 45ns Lead Finish Blank = 85%Sn/15%Pb F = 100% Sn (Matte Tin) Package W = Plastic 28-pin 600 mil DIP P = Plastic 28-pin 300 mil DIP S = Plastic 28-pin 350 mil SOIC March 2006 9 Document Control # ML0009 rev 0.2 STK15C68 Document Revision History Revision Date Summary 0.0 December 2002 0.1 September 2003 Added lead-free lead finish 0.2 March 2006 Marked as Obsolete, Not recommended for new design.
