DS38464
DESCRIPTION
The DS38464 is a self-contained 2,621,440-bit, nonvolatile static RAM, which is organized as a 64K x
40 memory. Built using three 64K x 16 SRAMs, one nonvolatile control IC, and one lithium battery,
this nonvolatile memory contains all the necessary control circuitry and lithium energy source to
maintain data integrity in the absence of power for more than 6 years. The DS38464 employs the
popular JEDEC standard 72-position SIMM connection scheme and requires no additional circuitry.
READ MODE
The DS38464 executes a read cycle whenever WE\ is inactive (high) and CE\ and OE\ are active (low).
The unique address specified by the 16 address inputs (A0 - A15) defines which byte of data is to be
accessed from the selected SRAMs. Valid data will be available to the data output drivers within tACC
(Access Time) after the last address input signal is stable, providing that CE\ and OE\ access times are
also satisfied. If OE\ and CE\ access times are not satisfied, then data access must be measured from the
later occurring signal (CE\ or OE\) and the limiting parameter is either tCO for CE\ or tOE for OE\ rather
than tACC.
WRITE MODE
The DS38464 executes a write cycle whenever both WE\ and CE\ signals are in the active (low) state
after address inputs are stable. The later occurring falling edge of CE\ or WE\ will determine the start of
the write cycle. The write cycle is terminated by the earlier rising edge of CE\ or WE\. All address
inputs must be kept valid throughout the write cycle. WE\ must return to the high state for a minimum
recovery time (tWR) before another cycle can be initiated. The OE\ control signal should be kept inactive
(high) during write cycles to avoid bus contention. However, if the output drivers are enabled (CE\ and
OE\ active) then WE\ will disable the outputs in tODW from its falling edge.
DATA RETENTION MODE
The DS38464 provides full functional capability for VCC greater than 3.0 volts and write protects by 2.8
volts. Data is maintained in the absence of VCC without any additional support circuitry. The
nonvolatile static RAM constantly monitors VCC. Should the supply voltage decay, the NV SRAM
automatically write protects itself, all inputs become “don’t care,” and all outputs become high
impedance. As VCC falls below approximately 2.5 volts, power switching circuits connect the lithium
energy sources to the RAMs to retain data. During power-up, when VCC rises above approximately 2.5
volts, the power switching circuits connect external VCC to the RAMs and disconnects the lithium
energy source. Normal RAM operation can resume after VCC exceeds 3.0 volts.
BATTERY MONITORING
The DS38464 automatically performs periodic battery voltage monitoring on a 24 hour time interval.
Such monitoring begins within tREC after VCC rises about VTP and is suspended when power failure
occurs.
After each 24 hour period has elapsed, the battery is connected to an internal 1MW test resistor for one
second. During this one second, if battery voltage falls below the battery voltage trip point (2.6V), the
battery warning output BW\ is asserted. Once asserted, BW\ remains active until the SIMM is replaced.
The battery is still retested after each VCC power-up, even if BW\ is active. If the battery voltage is
found to be higher than 2.6V during such testing, BW\ is de-asserted and regular 24-hour testing
resumes. BW\ has an open drain output driver.

NOTES
1. WE\ is high throughout read cycle.
2. OE\ = VIH or VIL. If OE\ = VIH during write cycle, the output buffers remain in a high impedance
state.
3. tWP is specified as the logical AND of CE\ and WE\. tWP is measured from the latter of CE\ or WE\
going low to the earlier of CE\ or WE\ going high.
4. tDS is measured from the earlier of CE\ or WE\ going high.
5. These parameters are sampled with a 5 pF load and are not 100% tested.
6. If the CE\ low transition occurs simultaneously with or later than the WE\ low transition, the output
buffers remain in a high impedance state during this period.
7. If the CE\ high transition occurs prior to or simultaneously with the WE\ high transition, the output
buffers remain in a high impedance state during this period.
8. If WE\ is low or the WE\ low transition occurs prior to or simultaneously with the CE\ low
transition, the output buffers remain in a high impedance state during this period.
9. Each DS38464 has a built-in switch that disconnects the lithium source until VCC is first applied by
the user. The expected tDR is defined as accumulative time in the absence of VCC starting from the
time power is first applied by the user.
10. In a power down condition the voltage on any pin may not exceed the voltage on VCC.
11. tWR1, tDH1 are measured from WE\ going high.
12. tWR2, tDH2 are measured from CE\ going high.
13. BW\ is an open-drain output and cannot source current.
