The memory is organized as 32 K words of 8 bits each. The embedded nonvolatile elements incorporate the QuantumTrap technology, creating the world’s most reliable nonvolatile memory. The SRAM provides infinite read and write cycles, while the QuantumTrap cells provide highly reliable nonvolatile storage of data. Data transfers from SRAM to the nonvolatile elements (STORE operation) takes place automatically at power-down (except for CY14X256Q1A). On power-up, data is restored to the SRAM from the nonvolatile memory (RECALL operation). You can also initiate the STORE and RECALL operations through SPI instruction.

Document Number: 001-65282 Rev. *E Page 3 of 32 CY14C256Q CY14B256Q CY14E256Q Device Operation SRAM Write CY14X256Q is a 256-Kbit serial (SPI) nvSRAM memory with a nonvolatile element in each memory cell. All the reads and writes to nvSRAM happen to the SRAM, which gives nvSRAM the unique capability to handle infinite writes to the memory. The data in SRAM is secured by a STORE sequence which transfers the data in parallel to the nonvolatile QuantumTrap cells. A small capacitor (VCAP) is used to AutoStore the SRAM data in nonvolatile cells when power goes down providing power-down data security. The QuantumTrap nonvolatile elements built in the reliable SONOS technology make nvSRAM the ideal choice for secure data storage. All writes to nvSRAM are carried out on the SRAM and do not use up any endurance cycles of the nonvolatile memory. This allows you to perform infinite write operations. A write cycle is performed through the WRITE instruction. The WRITE instruction is issued through the SI pin of the nvSRAM and consists of the WRITE opcode, two bytes of address, and one byte of data. Write to nvSRAM is done at SPI bus speed with zero cycle delay. The 256-Kbit memory array is organized as 32 K words × 8 bits. The memory can be accessed through a standard SPI interface that enables very high clock speeds up to 40 MHz with zero cycle delay read and write cycles. This nvSRAM chip also supports 104 MHz SPI access speed with a special instruction for read operation. This device supports SPI modes 0 and 3 (CPOL, CPHA = 0, 0 and 1, 1) and operates as SPI slave. The device is enabled using the Chip Select (CS) pin and accessed through Serial Input (SI), Serial Output (SO), and Serial Clock (SCK) pins. This device provides the feature for hardware and software write protection through the WP pin and WRDI instruction respectively along with mechanisms for block write protection (1/4, 1/2, or full array) using BP0 and BP1 pins in the Status Register. Further, the HOLD pin is used to suspend any serial communication without resetting the serial sequence. CY14X256Q uses the standard SPI opcodes for memory access. In addition to the general SPI instructions for read and write, it provides four special instructions that allow access to four nvSRAM specific functions: STORE, RECALL, AutoStore Disable (ASDISB), and AutoStore Enable (ASENB). The major benefit of nvSRAM over serial EEPROMs is that all reads and writes to nvSRAM are performed at the speed of SPI bus with zero cycle delay. Therefore, no wait time is required after any of the memory accesses. The STORE and RECALL operations need finite time to complete and all memory accesses are inhibited during this time. While a STORE or RECALL operation is in progress, the busy status of the device is indicated by the Hardware STORE Busy (HSB) pin and also reflected on the RDY bit of the Status Register. The device is available in three different pin configurations that enable you to choose a part which fits in best in their application. The feature summary is given in Table 1. Table 1.

This enables write operations on consecutive addresses without issuing a new WRITE instruction. When the last address in memory is reached in burst mode, the address rolls over to 0x0000 and the device continues to write. The SPI write cycle sequence is defined explicitly in the Memory Access section of SPI Protocol Description. SRAM Read A read cycle is performed at the SPI bus speed. The data is read out with zero cycle delay after the READ instruction is executed. READ instruction can be used upto 40 MHz clock speed. The READ instruction is issued through the SI pin of the nvSRAM and consists of the READ opcode and two bytes of address. The data is read out on the SO pin. A speed higher than 40 MHz (up to 104 MHz) requires FAST_READ instruction. The FAST_READ instruction is issued through the SI pin of the nvSRAM and consists of the FAST_READ opcode, two bytes of address, and one dummy byte. The data is read out on the SO pin. This device allows burst mode reads to be performed through SPI. This enables reads on consecutive addresses without issuing a new READ instruction. When the last address in memory is reached in burst mode read, the address rolls over to 0x0000 and the device continues to read. The SPI read cycle sequence is defined explicitly in the Memory Access section of SPI Protocol Description. STORE Operation STORE operation transfers the data from the SRAM to the nonvolatile QuantumTrap cells. The device STOREs data to the nonvolatile cells using one of the three STORE operations: AutoStore, activated on device power-down; Software STORE, activated by a STORE instruction; and Hardware STORE, activated by the HSB. During the STORE cycle, an erase of the previous nonvolatile data is first performed, followed by a program of the nonvolatile elements. After a STORE cycle is initiated, read/write to CY14X256Q is inhibited until the cycle is completed. The HSB signal or the RDY bit in the Status Register can be monitored by the system to detect if a STORE or Software RECALL cycle is in progress. The busy status of nvSRAM is indicated by HSB being pulled LOW or RDY bit being set to ‘1’. To avoid 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. However, software initiated STORE cycles are performed regardless of whether a write operation has taken place. Page 4 of 32 CY14C256Q CY14B256Q CY14E256Q AutoStore Operation The AutoStore operation is a unique feature of nvSRAM, which automatically stores the SRAM data to QuantumTrap cells during power-down. This STORE makes use of an external capacitor (VCAP) and enables the device to safely STORE the data in the nonvolatile memory when power goes down. During normal operation, the device draws current from VCC to charge the capacitor connected to the VCAP pin. When the voltage on the VCC pin drops below VSWITCH during power-down, the device inhibits all memory accesses to nvSRAM and automatically performs a conditional STORE operation using the charge from the VCAP capacitor. The AutoStore operation is not initiated if no write cycle has been performed since last RECALL. Note If a capacitor is not connected to VCAP pin, AutoStore must be disabled by issuing the AutoStore Disable instruction (AutoStore Disable (ASDISB) Instruction on page 15). If AutoStore is enabled without a capacitor on the VCAP pin, the device attempts an AutoStore operation without sufficient charge to complete the STORE. This will corrupt the data stored in nvSRAM, Status Register as well as the serial number and it will unlock the SNL bit. To resume normal functionality, the WRSR instruction must be issued to update the nonvolatile bits BP0, BP1, and WPEN in the Status Register. is completed, the SRAM is activated again for read and write operations. Hardware STORE and HSB pin Operation The HSB pin in CY14X256Q3A is used to control and acknowledge STORE operations. If no STORE or RECALL is in progress, this pin can be used to request a Hardware STORE cycle. When the HSB pin is driven LOW, nvSRAM conditionally initiates a STORE operation after tDELAY duration. A STORE cycle starts only if a write to the SRAM has been performed since the last STORE or RECALL cycle. Reads and Writes to the memory are inhibited for tSTORE duration or as long as HSB pin is LOW. The HSB pin also acts as an open drain driver (internal 100 k weak pull-up resistor) that is internally driven LOW to indicate a busy condition when the STORE (initiated by any means) is in progress. Note After each Hardware and Software STORE operation HSB is driven HIGH for a short time (tHHHD) with standard output high current and then remains HIGH by an internal 100 k pull-up resistor. Note For successful last data byte STORE, a hardware STORE should be initiated at least one clock cycle after the last data bit D0 is received. Figure 3 shows the proper connection of the storage capacitor (VCAP) for AutoStore operation. See DC Electrical Characteristics on page 20 for the size of the VCAP. Upon completion of the STORE operation, the nvSRAM memory access is inhibited for tLZHSB time after HSB pin returns HIGH. The HSB pin must be left unconnected if not used. Note CY14X256Q1A does not support AutoStore operation. You must perform Software STORE operation by using the SPI STORE instruction to secure the data. Note CY14X256Q1A/CY14X256Q2A do not have HSB pin. RDY bit of the SPI Status Register may be probed to determine the Ready or Busy status of nvSRAM. Figure 3. AutoStore Mode RECALL Operation VCC A RECALL operation transfers the data stored in the nonvolatile QuantumTrap elements to the SRAM. A RECALL may be initiated in two ways: Hardware RECALL, initiated on power-up and Software RECALL, initiated by a SPI RECALL instruction. 10 kOhm 0.1 uF Internally, RECALL is a two step procedure. First, the SRAM data is cleared. Next, the nonvolatile information is transferred into the SRAM cells. All memory accesses are inhibited while a RECALL cycle is in progress. The RECALL operation does not alter the data in the nonvolatile elements. VCC CS Hardware RECALL (Power-Up) VCAP VCAP VSS Software STORE Operation Software STORE enables the user to trigger a STORE operation through a special SPI instruction. STORE operation is initiated by executing STORE instruction irrespective of whether a write has been performed since the last NV operation. A STORE cycle takes tSTORE time to complete, during which all the memory accesses to nvSRAM are inhibited. The RDY bit of the Status Register or the HSB pin may be polled to find the Ready or Busy status of the nvSRAM. After the tSTORE cycle time Document Number: 001-65282 Rev. *E During power-up, when VCC crosses VSWITCH, an automatic RECALL sequence is initiated, which transfers the content of nonvolatile memory on to the SRAM. The data would previously have been stored on the nonvolatile memory through a STORE sequence. A Power-Up RECALL cycle takes tFA time to complete and the memory access is disabled during this time. HSB pin is used to detect the ready status of the device. Software RECALL Software RECALL allows you to initiate a RECALL operation to restore the content of nonvolatile memory on to the SRAM. A Software RECALL is issued by using the SPI instruction for RECALL. A Software RECALL takes tRECALL time to complete during which all memory accesses to nvSRAM are inhibited. The Page 5 of 32 CY14C256Q CY14B256Q CY14E256Q controller must provide sufficient delay for the RECALL operation to complete before issuing any memory access instructions. Disabling and Enabling AutoStore If the application does not require the AutoStore feature, it can be disabled by using the ASDISB instruction. If this is done, the nvSRAM does not perform a STORE operation at power-down. AutoStore can be re-enabled by using the ASENB instruction. However, these operations are not nonvolatile and if you need this setting to survive the power cycle, a STORE operation must be performed following AutoStore Disable or Enable operation. Note CY14X256Q2A/CY14X256Q3A comes from the factory with AutoStore enabled and CY14X256Q1A/CY14X256Q2A/CY14X256Q3A comes from the factory with 0x00 written in all cells. In CY14X256Q1A, VCAP pin is not present and AutoStore option is not available. The AutoStore Enable and Disable instructions to CY14X256Q1A are ignored. Note If AutoStore is disabled and VCAP is not required, then the VCAP pin must be left open. The VCAP pin must never be connected to ground. The Power-Up RECALL operation cannot be disabled in any case. Serial Peripheral Interface SPI Overview The SPI is a four-pin interface with Chip Select (CS), Serial Input (SI), Serial Output (SO), and Serial Clock (SCK) pins. CY14X256Q provides serial access to nvSRAM through SPI interface. The SPI bus on CY14X256Q can run at speeds up to 104 MHz except READ instruction. The SPI is a synchronous serial interface which uses clock and data pins for memory access and supports multiple devices on the data bus. A device on SPI bus is activated using the CS pin. The relationship between chip select, clock, and data is dictated by the SPI mode. This device supports SPI modes 0 and 3. In both these modes, data is clocked into the nvSRAM on the rising edge of SCK starting from the first rising edge after CS goes active. The SPI protocol is controlled by opcodes. These opcodes specify the commands from the bus master to the slave device. After CS is activated the first byte transferred from the bus master is the opcode. Following the opcode, any addresses and data are then transferred. The CS must go inactive after an operation is complete and before a new opcode can be issued. The commonly used terms used in SPI protocol are given below: SPI Master The SPI master device controls the operations on a SPI bus. A SPI bus may have only one master with one or more slave devices. All the slaves share the same SPI bus lines and the master may select any of the slave devices using the CS pin. All the operations must be initiated by the master activating a slave device by pulling the CS pin of the slave LOW. The master also generates the SCK and all the data transmission on SI and SO lines are synchronized with this clock. Document Number: 001-65282 Rev. *E SPI Slave The SPI slave device is activated by the master through the Chip Select line. A slave device gets the SCK as an input from the SPI master and all the communication is synchronized with this clock. SPI slave never initiates a communication on the SPI bus and acts on the instruction from the master. CY14X256Q operates as a SPI slave and may share the SPI bus with other SPI slave devices. Chip Select (CS) For selecting any slave device, the master needs to pull-down the corresponding CS pin. Any instruction can be issued to a slave device only while the CS pin is LOW. When the device is not selected, data through the SI pin is ignored and the serial output pin (SO) remains in a high impedance state. Note A new instruction must begin with the falling edge of CS. Therefore, only one opcode can be issued for each active Chip Select cycle. Serial Clock (SCK) Serial clock is generated by the SPI master and the communication is synchronized with this clock after CS goes LOW. CY14X256Q enables SPI modes 0 and 3 for data communication. In both these modes, the inputs are latched by the slave device on the rising edge of SCK and outputs are issued on the falling edge. Therefore, the first rising edge of SCK signifies the arrival of the first bit (MSB) of SPI instruction on the SI pin. Further, all data inputs and outputs are synchronized with SCK. Data Transmission - SI/SO SPI data bus consists of two lines, SI and SO, for serial data communication. The SI is also referred to as Master Out Slave In (MOSI) and SO is referred to as Master In Slave Out (MISO). The master issues instructions to the slave through the SI pin, while the slave responds through the SO pin. Multiple slave devices may share the SI and SO lines as described earlier. CY14X256Q has two separate pins for SI and SO, which can be connected with the master as shown in Figure 4 on page 7. Most Significant Bit (MSB) The SPI protocol requires that the first bit to be transmitted is the Most Significant Bit (MSB). This is valid for both address and data transmission. The 256-Kbit serial nvSRAM requires a 2-byte address for any read or write operation. However, because the address is only 15-bits, it implies that the first MSB which is fed in is ignored by the device. Although this bit is ‘don’t care’, Cypress recommends that this bit is treated as 0 to enable seamless transition to higher memory densities. Serial Opcode After the slave device is selected with CS going LOW, the first byte received is treated as the opcode for the intended operation. CY14X256Q uses the standard opcodes for memory accesses. In addition to the memory accesses, it provides additional opcodes for the nvSRAM specific functions: STORE, RECALL, AutoStore Enable, and AutoStore Disable. See Table 2 on page Page 6 of 32 CY14C256Q CY14B256Q CY14E256Q 9 for details. Status Register Invalid Opcode CY14X256Q has an 8-bit Status Register. The bits in the Status Register are used to configure the SPI bus. These bits are described in the Table 4 on page 10. If an invalid opcode is received, the opcode is ignored and the device ignores any additional serial data on the SI pin till the next falling edge of CS and the SO pin remains tristated. Figure 4.

If the clock starts from a HIGH state (in mode 3), the first rising edge after the clock toggles, is considered. The output data is available on the falling edge of SCK. Figure 5. SPI Mode 0 CS 0 SI SCK remains at 0 for Mode 0 ■ SCK remains at 1 for Mode 3 CPOL and CPHA bits must be set in the SPI controller for either Mode 0 or Mode 3. The device detects the SPI mode from the status of SCK pin when the device is selected by bringing the CS pin LOW. If SCK pin is LOW when the device is selected, SPI Mode 0 is assumed and if SCK pin is HIGH, it works in SPI Mode 3. 3 4 5 6 7 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 LSB Figure 6.

As described earlier, at power-up nvSRAM performs a Power-Up RECALL operation for tFA duration during which, all memory accesses are disabled. The HSB pin can be probed to check the Ready/Busy status of nvSRAM after power-up. voltage, the device stops responding to any instruction sent to it. If a write cycle is in progress and the last data bit D0 has been received when the power goes down, it is allowed tDELAY time to complete the write. After this, all memory accesses are inhibited and a conditional AutoStore operation is performed (AutoStore is not performed if no writes have happened since the last RECALL cycle). This feature prevents inadvertent writes to nvSRAM from happening during power-down. ■ Selected (Active power mode) if CS pin is LOW However, to completely avoid the possibility of inadvertent writes during power-down, ensure that the device is deselected and is in standby power mode, and the CS follows the voltage applied on VCC. ■ Deselected (Standby power mode) if CS pin is HIGH Active Power and Standby Power Modes ■ Not in the Hold condition The following are the device status after power-up. Status Register state: ❐ Write Enable (WEN) bit is reset to ‘0’. ❐ WPEN, BP1, BP0 unchanged from previous STORE operation. The WPEN, BP1, and BP0 bits of the Status Register are nonvolatile bits and remain unchanged from the previous STORE operation. ■ When CS is LOW, the device is selected and is in the active power mode. The device consumes ICC current, as specified in DC Electrical Characteristics on page 20. When CS is HIGH, the device is deselected and the device goes into the standby power mode after tSB time if a STORE or RECALL cycle is not in progress. If a STORE/RECALL cycle is in progress, the device goes into the standby power mode after the STORE or RECALL cycle is completed. In the standby power mode, the current drawn by the device drops to ISB.

Instructions and their opcodes are listed in Table 2. All instructions, addresses, and data are transferred with the MSB first and start with a HIGH to LOW CS transition. There are, in all, 18 SPI instructions which provide access to most of the functions in nvSRAM. Further, the WP, HOLD and HSB pins provide additional functionality driven through hardware. Table 2.

The Status Register consists of a Ready bit (RDY) and data protection bits BP1, BP0, WEN, and WPEN. The RDY bit can be polled to check the Ready or Busy status while a nvSRAM STORE or Software RECALL cycle is in progress. The Status Register can be modified by WRSR instruction and read by RDSR or FAST_RDSR instruction. However, only the WPEN, BP1, and BP0 bits of the Status Register can be modified by using the WRSR instruction. The WRSR instruction has no effect on WEN and RDY bits. The default value shipped from the factory for WEN, BP0, BP1, bits 4 -5, SNL and WPEN is ‘0’. SNL (bit 6) of the Status Register is used to lock the serial number written using the WRSN instruction. The serial number can be written using the WRSN instruction multiple times while this bit is still '0'. When set to '1', this bit prevents any modification to the serial number. This bit is factory programmed to '0' and can only be written to once. After this bit is set to '1', it can never be cleared to '0'. Table 3.

Status Register Bit Definition Bit Definition Description Bit 0 (RDY) Ready Read only bit indicates the ready status of device to perform a memory access. This bit is set to ‘1’ by the device while a STORE or Software RECALL cycle is in progress. Bit 1 (WEN) Write Enable WEN indicates if the device is write enabled. This bit defaults to ‘0’ (disabled) on power-up. WEN = '1' --> Write enabled WEN = '0' --> Write disabled Bit 2 (BP0) Block Protect bit ‘0’ Used for block protection. For details see Table 5 on page 12. Bit 3 (BP1) Block Protect bit ‘1’ Used for block protection. For details see Table 5 on page 12. Bit 4-5 Don’t care These bits are non-writable and always return ‘0’ upon read. Bit 6 (SNL) Serial Number Lock Set to '1' for locking serial number Bit 7 (WPEN) Write Protect Enable bit Used for enabling the function of Write Protect Pin (WP). For details see Table 6 on page 12. Read Status Register (RDSR) Instruction Write Status Register (WRSR) Instruction The Read Status Register instruction provides access to the Status Register at SPI frequency up to 40 MHz. This instruction is used to probe the Write Enable status of the device or the Ready status of the device. RDY bit is set by the device to 1 whenever a STORE or Software RECALL cycle is in progress. The block protection and WPEN bits indicate the extent of protection employed. The WRSR instruction enables the user to write to the Status Register. However, this instruction cannot be used to modify bit 0 (RDY), bit 1 (WEN) and bits 4-5. The BP0 and BP1 bits can be used to select one of four levels of block protection. Further, WPEN bit must be set to ‘1’ to enable the use of Write Protect (WP) pin. This instruction is issued after the falling edge of CS using the opcode for RDSR. Fast Read Status Register (FAST_RDSR) Instruction The FAST_RDSR instruction allows you to read the Status Register at a SPI frequency above 40 MHz and up to 104 MHz (max).This instruction is used to probe the Write Enable status of the device or the Ready status of the device. RDY bit is set by the device to 1 whenever a STORE or Software RECALL cycle is in progress. The block protection and WPEN bits indicate the extent of protection employed. This instruction is issued after the falling edge of CS using the opcode for RDSR followed by a dummy byte. Document Number: 001-65282 Rev. *E WRSR instruction is a write instruction and needs writes to be enabled (WEN bit set to ‘1’) using the WREN instruction before it is issued. The instruction is issued after the falling edge of CS using the opcode for WRSR followed by eight bits of data to be stored in the Status Register. WRSR instruction can be used to modify only bits 2, 3, 6, and 7 of the Status Register. Note In CY14X256Q, the values written to Status Register are saved to nonvolatile memory only after a STORE operation. If AutoStore is disabled (or while using CY14X256Q1A), any modifications to the Status Register must be secured by performing a Software STORE operation. Note CY14X256Q2A does not have WP pin. Any modification to bit 7 of the Status Register has no effect on the functionality of CY14X256Q2A. Page 10 of 32 CY14C256Q CY14B256Q CY14E256Q Figure 7.

Additionally, this device also provides block protection mechanism through BP0 and BP1 pins of the Status Register. Block protection is provided using the BP0 and BP1 pins of the Status Register. These bits can be set using WRSR instruction and probed using the RDSR instruction. The nvSRAM is divided into four array segments. One-quarter, one-half, or all of the memory segments can be protected. Any data within the protected segment is read only. Table 5 shows the function of Block Protect bits. The write enable and disable status of the device is indicated by WEN bit of the Status Register. The write instructions (WRSR WRITE and WRSN) and nvSRAM special instruction (STORE, RECALL, ASENB and ASDISB) need the write to be enabled (WEN bit = ‘1’) before they can be issued. Level Write Enable (WREN) Instruction On power-up, the device is always in the write disable state. The following WRITE, WRSR, WRSN, or nvSRAM special instruction must therefore be preceded by a Write Enable instruction. If the device is not write enabled (WEN = ‘0’), it ignores the write instructions and returns to the standby state when CS is brought HIGH. A new CS falling edge is required to re-initiate serial communication. The instruction is issued following the falling edge of CS. When this instruction is used, the WEN bit of Status Register is set to ‘1’. WEN bit defaults to ‘0’ on power-up. Note After completion of a write instruction (WRSR, WRITE and WRSN) or nvSRAM special instruction (STORE, RECALL, ASENB, and ASDISB) instruction, WEN bit is cleared to ‘0’. This is done to provide protection from any inadvertent writes. Therefore, WREN instruction needs to be used before a new write instruction is issued. Figure 10. WREN Instruction CS 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 SCK SI 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 Write Disable instruction disables the write by clearing the WEN bit to ‘0’ in order to protect the device against inadvertent writes. This instruction is issued following the falling edge of CS followed by opcode for WRDI instruction. The WEN bit is cleared on the rising edge of CS following a WRDI instruction. Figure 11.

WP pin enables all normal read and write operations when held HIGH. When the WP pin is brought LOW and WPEN bit is ‘1’, all write operations to the Status Register are inhibited. The hardware write protection function is blocked when the WPEN bit is ‘0’. This allows you to install the device in a system with the WP pin tied to ground, and still write to the Status Register. WP pin can be used along with WPEN and Block Protect bits (BP1 and BP0) of the Status Register to inhibit writes to memory. When WP pin is LOW and WPEN is set to ‘1’, any modifications to the Status Register are disabled. Therefore, the memory is protected by setting the BP0 and BP1 bits and the WP pin inhibits any modification of the Status Register bits, providing hardware write protection. Note CY14X256Q2A does not have WP pin and therefore does not provide hardware write protection. Write Disable (WRDI) Instruction 0 Status Register Bits Note WP going LOW when CS is still LOW has no effect on any of the ongoing write operations to the Status Register. HI-Z SO Table 5.

The first byte specified can be at any location. The device automatically increments to the next higher address after each byte of data is output. The entire memory array can therefore be read with a single FAST_READ instruction. When the highest address in the memory array is reached, address counter rolls over to start address 0x0000 and thus allowing the read sequence to continue indefinitely. The FAST_READ instruction is terminated by driving CS High at any time during data output. All memory accesses are done using the READ and WRITE instructions. These instructions cannot be used while a STORE or RECALL cycle is in progress. A STORE cycle in progress is indicated by the RDY bit of the Status Register and the HSB pin. Read Sequence (READ) Instruction The read operations on this device are performed by giving the instruction on the SI pin and reading the output on SO pin. The following sequence needs to be followed for a read operation: After the CS line is pulled LOW to select a device, the read opcode is transmitted through the SI line followed by two bytes of address. The MSB bit (A15) of the address is a “don’t care”. After the last address bit is transmitted on the SI pin, the data (D7-D0) at the specific address is shifted out on the SO line on the falling edge of SCK starting with D7. Any other data on SI line after the last address bit is ignored. Note FAST_READ instruction operates up to maximum of 104 MHz SPI frequency. Write Sequence (WRITE) Instruction The write operations on this device are performed through the SI pin. To perform a write operation, if the device is write disabled, then the device must first be write enabled through the WREN instruction. When the writes are enabled (WEN = ‘1’), WRITE instruction is issued after the falling edge of CS. A WRITE instruction constitutes transmitting the WRITE opcode on SI line followed by two bytes of address and the data (D7-D0) which is to be written. The MSB bit (A15) of the address is a “don’t care”. CY14X256Q allows reads to be performed in bursts through SPI which can be used to read consecutive addresses without issuing a new READ instruction. If only one byte is to be read, the CS line must be driven HIGH after one byte of data comes out. However, the read sequence may be continued by holding the CS line LOW and the address is automatically incremented and data continues to shift out on SO pin. When the last data memory address (0x7FFF) is reached, the address rolls over to 0x0000 and the device continues to read. CY14X256Q enables writes to be performed in bursts through SPI which can be used to write consecutive addresses without issuing a new WRITE instruction. If only one byte is to be written, the CS line must be driven HIGH after the D0 (LSB of data) is transmitted. However, if more bytes are to be written, CS line must be held LOW and address is incremented automatically. The following bytes on the SI line are treated as data bytes and written in the successive addresses. When the last data memory address (0x7FFF) is reached, the address rolls over to 0x0000 and the device continues to write. The WEN bit is reset to ‘0’ on completion of a WRITE sequence. Note The READ instruction operates up to a maximum of 40 MHz SPI frequency. Fast Read Sequence (FAST_READ) Instruction The FAST_READ instruction allows you to read memory at SPI frequency above 40 MHz and up to 104 MHz (Max). The host system must first select the device by driving CS low, the FAST_READ instruction is then written to SI, followed by 2 address byte and then a dummy byte. The MSB bit (A15) of the address is a “don’t care”. Note When a burst write reaches a protected block address, it continues the address increment into the protected space but does not write any data to the protected memory. If the address roll over takes the burst write to unprotected space, it resumes writes. The same operation is true if a burst write is initiated within a write protected block. From the subsequent falling edge of the SCK, the data of the specific address is shifted out serially on the SO line starting with Figure 12.

Table 7 lists these instructions. The AutoStore Enable instruction enables the AutoStore on CY14X256Q2A/CY14X256Q3A. This setting is not nonvolatile and needs to be followed by a STORE sequence to survive the power cycle.

The STORE operation is performed irrespective of whether a write has taken place since the last STORE or RECALL operation. To issue this instruction, the device must be write enabled (WEN bit = ‘1’). The instruction is performed by transmitting the STORE opcode on the SI pin following the falling edge of CS. The WEN bit is cleared on the positive edge of CS following the STORE instruction. To issue this instruction, the device must be write enabled (WEN = ‘1’). The instruction is performed by transmitting the ASENB opcode on the SI pin following the falling edge of CS. The WEN bit is cleared on the positive edge of CS following the ASENB instruction. Note If ASDISB and ASENB instructions are executed in CY14X256Q2A/CY14X256Q3A, the device is busy for the duration of software sequence processing time (tSS). However, ASDISB and ASENB instructions have no effect on CY14X256Q1A as AutoStore is internally disabled. Figure 19. AutoStore Enable Operation CS 0 1 2 SI 0 1 0 Figure 17.

The WEN bit is cleared on the positive edge of CS following the RECALL instruction. Figure 18. Software RECALL Operation 1 2 3 4 5 6 SO 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 CS 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 SCK SO 0 1 Figure 20.

It typically consists of a two byte Customer ID, followed by five bytes of unique serial number and one byte of CRC check. However, nvSRAM does not calculate the CRC and it is up to the system designer to utilize the eight byte memory space in whatever manner desired. The default value for eight byte locations are set to ‘0x00’. SLEEP instruction puts the nvSRAM in sleep mode. When the SLEEP instruction is issued, the nvSRAM takes tSS time to process the SLEEP request. Once the SLEEP command is successfully registered and processed, the nvSRAM toggles HSB LOW, performs a STORE operation to secure the data to nonvolatile memory and then enters into SLEEP mode. The device starts consuming IZZ current after tSLEEP time from the instance when SLEEP instruction is registered. The device is not accessible for normal operations after SLEEP instruction is issued. Once in sleep mode, the SCK and SI pins are ignored and SO will be Hi-Z but device continues to monitor the CS pin. WRSN (Serial Number Write) Instruction The serial number can be written using the WRSN instruction. To write serial number the write must be enabled using the WREN instruction. The WRSN instruction can be used in burst mode to write all the 8 bytes of serial number. To wake the nvSRAM from the sleep mode, the device must be selected by toggling the CS pin from HIGH to LOW. The device wakes up and is accessible for normal operations after tWAKE duration after a falling edge of CS pin is detected. The serial number is locked using the SNL bit of the Status Register. Once this bit is set to '1', no modification to the serial number is possible. After the SNL bit is set to '1', using the WRSN instruction has no effect on the serial number. Note Whenever nvSRAM enters into sleep mode, it initiates nonvolatile STORE cycle which results in an endurance cycle per sleep command execution. A STORE cycle starts only if a write to the SRAM has been performed since the last STORE or RECALL cycle. A STORE operation (AutoStore or Software STORE) is required to store the serial number in nonvolatile memory. If AutoStore is disabled, you must perform a Software STORE operation to secure and lock the serial Number. If SNL bit is set to ‘1’ and is not stored (AutoStore disabled), the SNL bit and serial number defaults to ‘0’ at the next power cycle. If SNL bit is set to ‘1’ and is stored, the SNL bit can never be cleared to ‘0’. This instruction requires the WEN bit to be set before it can be executed. The WEN bit is reset to '0' after completion of this instruction. Figure 21. Sleep Mode Entry t SLEEP CS 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 SCK SI 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 HI-Z SO Figure 22.

Die Rev (3 bits) 1. Manufacturer ID (11 bits) This is used to represent any major change in the design of the product. The initial setting of this is always 0x0. This is the JEDEC assigned manufacturer ID for Cypress. JEDEC assigns the manufacturer ID in different banks. The first three bits of the manufacturer ID represent the bank in which ID is assigned. The next eight bits represent the manufacturer ID. Cypress’s manufacturer ID is 0x34 in bank 0. Therefore the manufacturer ID for all Cypress nvSRAM products is: Cypress ID - 000_0011_0100 2. Product ID (14 bits) The product ID is defined as shown in the Table 8 RDID (Device ID Read) Instruction This instruction is used to read the JEDEC assigned manufacturer ID and product ID of the device at SPI frequency upto 40 MHz. This instruction can be used to identify a device on the bus. RDID instruction can be issued by shifting the op-code for RDID in through the SI pin of nvSRAM after CS goes LOW. This is followed by nvSRAM shifting out the four bytes of device ID through the SO pin. 3. Density ID (4 bits) The 4 bit density ID is used as shown in Table 8 for indicating the 256 Kb density of the product. Figure 25.

FAST_RDID instruction can be issued by shifting the op-code for FAST_RDID in through the SI pin of nvSRAM followed by dummy byte after CS goes LOW. This is followed by nvSRAM shifting out the four bytes of device ID through the SO pin. Figure 26.

When the device is selected and a serial sequence is underway, HOLD is used to pause the serial communication with the master device without resetting the ongoing serial sequence. To pause, the HOLD pin must be brought LOW when the SCK pin is LOW. To resume serial communication, the HOLD pin must be brought HIGH when the SCK pin is LOW (SCK may toggle during HOLD). While the device serial communication is paused, inputs to the SI pin are ignored and the SO pin is in the high impedance state. This pin can be used by the master with the CS pin to pause the serial communication by bringing the pin HOLD LOW and deselecting an SPI slave to establish communication with another slave device, without the serial communication being reset. The communication may be resumed at a later point by selecting the device and setting the HOLD pin HIGH. Document Number: 001-65282 Rev. *E Figure 27.

Min VCAP value guarantees that there is a sufficient charge available to complete a successful AutoStore operation. Max VCAP value guarantees that the capacitor on VCAP is charged to a minimum voltage during a Power-Up RECALL cycle so that an immediate power-down cycle can complete a successful AutoStore. Therefore it is always recommended to use a capacitor within the specified min and max limits. See application note AN43593 for more details on VCAP options. 8. Maximum voltage on VCAP pin (VVCAP) is provided for guidance when choosing the VCAP capacitor. The voltage rating of the VCAP capacitor across the operating temperature range should be higher than the VVCAP voltage. 9. These parameters are guaranteed by design and are not tested.
