STK16C88 256 Kbit (32K x 8) AutoStore+ nvSRAM Features Functional Description ■ 25 ns and 45 ns access times ■ Directly replaces battery-backed SRAM modules such as Dallas/Maxim DS1230 AB ■ Automatic nonvolatile STORE on power loss ■ Nonvolatile STORE under Software control ■ Automatic RECALL to SRAM on power up ■ Unlimited Read/Write endurance ■ Unlimited RECALL cycles The Cypress STK16C88 is a 256 Kb 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. ■ 1,000,000 STORE cycles ■ 100 year data retention ■ Single 5V+10% power supply ■ Commercial and Industrial Temperatures ■ 28-pin (600 mil) PDIP package ■ RoHS compliance Logic Block Diagram Cypress Semiconductor Corporation Document Number: 001-50595 Rev. ** • 198 Champion Court • San Jose, CA 95134-1709 • 408-943-2600 Revised January 29, 2009 [+] Feedback STK16C88 Pin Configurations Figure 1.

Document Number: 001-50595 Rev. ** Page 2 of 14 [+] Feedback STK16C88 Device Operation The AutoStore+ STK16C88 is a fast 32K x 8 SRAM that does not lose its data on power down. The data is preserved in integral QuantumTrap nonvolatile storage elements when power is lost. Automatic STORE on power down and automatic RECALL on power up guarantee data integrity without the use of batteries. SRAM Read The STK16C88 performs a READ cycle whenever CE and OE are LOW while WE is 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. SRAM Write A WRITE cycle is performed whenever CE and WE are LOW. 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 IO 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 IO lines. If OE is left LOW, internal circuitry turns off the output buffers tHZWE after WE goes LOW. AutoStore+ Operation The STK16C88’s automatic STORE on power down is completely transparent to the system. The STORE initiation takes less than 500 ns when power is lost (VCC < VSWITCH) at which point the part depends only on its internal capacitor for STORE completion. If the power supply drops faster than 20 μs/volt before Vcc reaches Vswitch, then a 2.2 ohm resistor should be inserted between Vcc and the system supply to avoid a momentary excess of current between Vcc and internal capacitor. In order to prevent unneeded STORE operations, automatic STOREs 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 or not a WRITE operation has taken place. 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: 001-50595 Rev. ** If the STK16C88 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 STK16C88 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. 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.

Current Versus Cycle Time (WRITE) The STK16C88 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. Noise Considerations The STK16C88 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. Low Average Active Power CMOS technology provides the STK16C88 the benefit of drawing significantly less current when it is cycled at times longer than 50 ns. Figure 2 and Figure 3 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 STK16C88 depends on the following items: 1. The duty cycle of chip enable 2. The overall cycle rate for accesses 3. The ratio of READs to WRITEs 4. CMOS versus TTL input levels 5. The operating temperature 6. The VCC level 7. IO loading Best Practices 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 and cold or warm boot status 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 manufacturing test to ensure these system routines work consistently. ■ 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 or incoming inspection routines).
