The Cypress CY14E256L is a fast static RAM with a nonvolatile
element in each memory cell. The embedded nonvolatile
elements incorporate QuantumTrap technology producing the
world’s most reliable nonvolatile memory. The SRAM provides
unlimited read and write cycles, while independent, nonvolatile
data resides in the highly reliable QuantumTrap cell. Data
transfers from the SRAM to the nonvolatile elements (the
STORE operation) takes place automatically at power down. On
power up, data is restored to the SRAM (the RECALL operation)
from the nonvolatile memory. Both the STORE and RECALL
operations are also available under software control. A hardware
STORE is initiated with the HSB pin.

CY14E256L
Device Operation
The CY14E256L nvSRAM is made up of two functional components paired in the same physical cell. These are an SRAM
memory cell and a nonvolatile QuantumTrap cell. The SRAM
memory cell operates as a standard fast static RAM. Data in the
SRAM is transferred to the nonvolatile cell (the STORE
operation) or from the nonvolatile cell to SRAM (the RECALL
operation). This unique architecture enables storage and recall
of all cells in parallel. During the STORE and RECALL operations, SRAM READ and WRITE operations are inhibited. The
CY14E256L supports unlimited reads and writes similar to a
typical SRAM. In addition, it provides unlimited RECALL operations from the nonvolatile cells and up to one million STORE
operations.
having a capacitor of between 68 uF and 220 uF (+ 20%) rated
at 6V should be provided. The voltage on the VCAP pin is driven
to 5V by a charge pump internal to the chip. A pull up is placed
on WE to hold it inactive during power up.
Figure 2. AutoStore Mode
SRAM Read
The CY14E256L performs a READ cycle whenever CE and OE
are LOW while WE and HSB are HIGH. The address specified
on pins A0–14 determines the 32,768 data bytes accessed. When
the READ is initiated by an address transition, the outputs are
valid after a delay of tAA (READ cycle 1). If the READ is initiated
by CE or OE, the outputs are valid at tACE or at tDOE, whichever
is later (READ cycle 2). The data outputs repeatedly respond to
address changes within the tAA access time without the need for
transitions on any control input pins, and remains valid until
another address change or until CE or OE is brought HIGH, or
WE or HSB is brought LOW.
SRAM Write
A WRITE cycle is performed whenever CE and WE are LOW and
HSB is HIGH. The address inputs must be stable prior to entering
the WRITE cycle and must remain stable until either CE or WE
goes HIGH at the end of the cycle. The data on the common I/O
pins DQ0–7 are written into the memory if it has valid tSD, before
the end of a WE controlled WRITE or before the end of an CE
controlled WRITE. Keep OE HIGH during the entire WRITE cycle
to avoid data bus contention on common I/O lines. If OE is left
LOW, internal circuitry turns off the output buffers tHZWE after WE
goes LOW.
AutoStore Operation
The CY14E256L stores data to nvSRAM using one of three
storage operations:
1. Hardware store activated by HSB
2. Software store activated by an address sequence
3. AutoStore on device power down
AutoStore operation is a unique feature of QuantumTrap
technology and is enabled by default on the CY14E256L.
During normal operation, the device draws current from VCC to
charge a capacitor connected to the VCAP pin. This stored
charge is used by the chip to perform a single STORE operation.
If the voltage on the VCC pin drops below VSWITCH, the part
automatically disconnects the VCAP pin from VCC. A STORE
operation is initiated with power provided by the VCAP capacitor.
In system power mode, both VCC and VCAP are connected to the
+5V power supply without the 68 μF capacitor. In this mode, the
AutoStore function of the CY14E256L operates on the stored
system charge as power goes down. The user must, however,
guarantee that VCC does not drop below 3.6V during the 10 ms
STORE cycle.
To reduce unnecessary nonvolatile stores, AutoStore and
Hardware Store operations are ignored, unless at least one
WRITE operation has taken place since the most recent STORE
or RECALL cycle. Software initiated STORE cycles are
performed regardless of whether a WRITE operation has taken
place. An optional pull up resistor is shown connected to HSB.
The HSB signal is monitored by the system to detect if an
AutoStore cycle is in progress.
If the power supply drops faster than 20 us/volt before Vcc
reaches VSWITCH, then a 2.2 ohm resistor should be connected
between VCC and the system supply to avoid momentary excess
of current between VCC and VCAP.
AutoStore Inhibit mode
If an automatic STORE on power loss is not required, then VCC
is tied to ground and + 5V is applied to VCAP (Figure 3). This is
the AutoStore Inhibit mode, where the AutoStore function is
disabled. If the CY14E256L is operated in this configuration,
references to VCC are changed to VCAP throughout this data
sheet. In this mode, STORE operations are triggered through
software control or the HSB pin. To enable or disable Autostore
using an I/O port pin see “Preventing Store” on page 5. It is not
permissible to change between these three options ”on the fly”.

(VCAP) for automatic store operation. A charge storage capacitor

CY14E256L
Figure 3. AutoStore Inhibit Mode
If the CY14E256L is in a WRITE state at the end of power up
RECALL, the SRAM data is corrupted. To help avoid this
situation, a 10 Kohm resistor is connected either between WE
and system VCC or between CE and system VCC.
Software STORE
Data is transferred from the SRAM to the nonvolatile memory by
a software address sequence. The CY14E256L software
STORE cycle is initiated by executing sequential CE controlled
READ cycles from six specific address locations in exact order.
During the STORE cycle, an erase of the previous nonvolatile
data is first performed followed by a program of the nonvolatile
elements. When a STORE cycle is initiated, input and output are
disabled until the cycle is completed.
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. If they intervene, the
sequence is aborted and no STORE or RECALL takes place.
Hardware STORE (HSB) Operation
The CY14E256L provides the HSB pin for controlling and
acknowledging the STORE operations. The HSB pin is used to
request a hardware STORE cycle. When the HSB pin is driven
LOW, the CY14E256L conditionally initiates a STORE operation
after tDELAY. An actual STORE cycle only begins if a WRITE to
the SRAM takes place since the last STORE or RECALL cycle.
The HSB pin also acts as an open drain driver that is internally
driven LOW to indicate a busy condition, while the STORE
(initiated by any means) is in progress. Pull up this pin with an
external 10K ohm resistor to VCAP if HSB is used as a driver.
SRAM READ and WRITE operations, that are in progress when
HSB is driven LOW by any means, are given time to complete
before the STORE operation is initiated. After HSB goes LOW,
the CY14E256L continues SRAM operations for tDELAY. During
tDELAY, multiple SRAM READ operations take place. If a WRITE
is in progress when HSB is pulled LOW, it allows a time, tDELAY
to complete. However, any SRAM WRITE cycles requested after
HSB goes LOW are inhibited until HSB returns HIGH.
During any STORE operation, regardless of how it is initiated,
the CY14E256L continues to drive the HSB pin LOW, releasing
it only when the STORE is complete. After completing the
STORE operation, the CY14E256L remains disabled until the
HSB pin returns HIGH.
If HSB is not used, it is left unconnected.
Hardware RECALL (Power Up)
During power up or after any low power condition (VCC <
VRESET), an internal RECALL request is latched. When VCC
once again exceeds the sense voltage of VSWITCH, a RECALL
cycle is automatically initiated and takes tHRECALL to complete.
Document Number: 001-06968 Rev. *G
To initiate the software STORE cycle, the following READ
sequence is performed:
1. Read address 0x0E38, Valid READ
2. Read address 0x31C7, Valid READ
3. Read address 0x03E0, Valid READ
4. Read address 0x3C1F, Valid READ
5. Read address 0x303F, Valid READ
6. Read address 0x0FC0, Initiate STORE cycle
The software sequence is clocked with CE controlled READs.
When the sixth address in the sequence is entered, the STORE
cycle commences and the chip is disabled. It is important that
READ cycles and not WRITE cycles are used in the sequence.
It is not necessary that OE is LOW for a valid sequence. After the
tSTORE cycle time is fulfilled, the SRAM is again activated for
READ and WRITE operation.
Software RECALL
Data is transferred from the nonvolatile memory to the SRAM by
a software address sequence. 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 CE controlled READ operations is
performed:
1. Read address 0x0E38, Valid READ
2. Read address 0x31C7, Valid READ
3. Read address 0x03E0, Valid READ
4. Read address 0x3C1F, Valid READ
5. Read address 0x303F, Valid READ
6. Read address 0x0C63, Initiate RECALL cycle
Internally, RECALL is a two step procedure. First, the SRAM data
is cleared, and then the nonvolatile information is transferred into
the SRAM cells. After the tRECALL cycle time, the SRAM is once
again ready for READ and WRITE operations. The RECALL
operation does not alter the data in the nonvolatile elements. The
nonvolatile data can be recalled an unlimited number of times.

CY14E256L
Data Protection
Figure 4. Current Versus Cycle Time (READ)
The CY14E256L protects data from corruption during low
voltage conditions by inhibiting all externally initiated STORE
and WRITE operations. The low voltage condition is detected
when VCC is less than VSWITCH. If the CY14E256L is in a WRITE
mode (both CE and WE are low) at power up after a RECALL or
after a STORE, the WRITE is inhibited until a negative transition
on CE or WE is detected. This protects against inadvertent writes
during power up or brown out conditions.
Noise Considerations
The CY14E256L is a high speed memory. It must have a high
frequency bypass capacitor of approximately 0.1 µF connected
between VCC and VSS, using leads and traces that are as short
as possible. As with all high speed CMOS ICs, careful routing of
power, ground, and signals reduce circuit noise.
Hardware Protect
Figure 5. Current Versus Cycle Time (WRITE)
The CY14E256L offers hardware protection against inadvertent
STORE operation and SRAM WRITEs during low voltage conditions. When VCAP<VSWITCH, all externally initiated STORE
operations and SRAM WRITEs are inhibited. AutoStore can be
completely disabled by tying VCC to ground and applying + 5V
to VCAP. This is the AutoStore Inhibit mode; in this mode,
STOREs are only initiated by explicit request using either the
software sequence or the HSB pin.
Low Average Active Power
CMOS technology provides the CY14E256L the benefit of
drawing significantly less current when it is cycled at times longer
than 50 ns. Figure 4 shows the relationship between ICC and
READ or WRITE 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). Only
standby current is drawn when the chip is disabled. The overall
average current drawn by the CY14E256L depends on the
following items:
■
The duty cycle of chip enable
■
The overall cycle rate for accesses
■
The ratio of READs to WRITEs
■
CMOS versus TTL input levels
■
The operating temperature
■
The VCC level

Document Number: 001-06968 Rev. *G
Preventing Store
The STORE function is disabled by holding HSB high with a
driver capable of sourcing 30 mA at a VOH of at least 2.2V,
because it has to overpower the internal pull down device. This
device drives HSB LOW for 20 μs at the onset of a STORE.
When the CY14E256L is connected for AutoStore operation
(system VCC connected to VCC and a 68 μF capacitor on VCAP)
and VCC crosses VSWITCH on the way down, the CY14E256L
attempts to pull HSB LOW. If HSB does not actually get below
VIL, the part stops trying to pull HSB LOW and abort the STORE
attempt.

Best Practices
manufacturing test to ensure these system routines work
consistently.
nvSRAM products have been used effectively for over 15 years.
While ease of use is one of the product’s main system values,
experience gained working with hundreds of applications has
resulted in the following suggestions as best practices:
■
The nonvolatile cells in an nvSRAM are programmed on the
test floor during final test and quality assurance. Incoming
inspection routines at customer or contract manufacturer’s
sites sometimes reprogram these values. Final NV patterns are
typically repeating patterns of AA, 55, 00, FF, A5, or 5A. End
product’s firmware should not assume an NV array is in a set
programmed state. Routines that check memory content
values to determine first time system configuration, cold or
warm boot status, and so on should always program a unique
NV pattern (for example, complex 4-byte pattern of 46 E6 49
53 hex or more random bytes) as part of the final system
■
Power up boot firmware routines should rewrite the nvSRAM
into the desired state. While the nvSRAM is shipped in a preset
state, best practice is to again rewrite the nvSRAM into the
desired state as a safeguard against events that might flip the
bit inadvertently (program bugs, incoming inspection routines,
and so on).
■
The VCAP value specified in this data sheet includes a minimum
and a maximum value size. Best practice is to meet this
requirement and not exceed the maximum VCAP value because
the higher inrush currents may reduce the reliability of the
internal pass transistor. Customers who want to use a larger
VCAP value to make sure there is extra store charge should
discuss their VCAP size selection with Cypress to understand
any impact on the VCAP voltage level at the end of a tRECALL
period.

Notes
1. I/O state assumes OE < VIL. Activation of nonvolatile cycles does not depend on state of OE.
2. HSB STORE operation occurs only if an SRAM WRITE has been done since the last nonvolatile cycle. After the STORE (if any) completes, the part goes into
standby mode, inhibiting all operations until HSB rises.
3. CE and OE LOW and WE HIGH for output behavior.
4. The six consecutive addresses must be in the order listed. WE must be high during all six consecutive CE controlled cycles to enable a nonvolatile cycle.
5. While there are 15 addresses on the CY14E256L, only the lower 14 are used to control software modes.

Notes
15. tHRECALL starts from the time VCC rises above VSWITCH.
16. CE and OE low and WE high for output behavior.
17. HSB is asserted low for 1us when VCAP drops through VSWITCH. If an SRAM WRITE has not taken place since the last nonvolatile cycle, HSB is released and no store
takes place.
