The Cypress CY14B101P combines a 1-Mbit nonvolatile static
RAM with full featured real time clock in a monolithic integrated
circuit with serial SPI interface. The memory is organized as
128 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. On power-up, data is
restored to the SRAM from the nonvolatile memory (RECALL
operation). The STORE and RECALL operations can also be
initiated by the user through SPI instruction.

CY14B101P
Device Operation
CY14B101P is a 1-Mbit nvSRAM memory with integrated RTC
and SPI interface. 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 that 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.
In CY14B101P, the 1-Mbit memory array is organized as 128 K
words × 8 bits. The memory is accessed through a standard SPI
interface that enables very high clock speeds up to 40 MHz with
zero cycle delay read and write cycles. CY14B101P 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.
CY14B101P provides the feature for hardware and software
write protection through the WP pin and WRDI instruction.
CY14B101P also provides 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.
CY14B101P uses the standard SPI opcodes for memory access.
In addition to the general SPI instructions for read and write,
CY14B101P provides four special instructions that enable
access to four nvSRAM specific functions: STORE, RECALL,
AutoStore Disable (ASDISB), and AutoStore Enable (ASENB).
The major benefit of serial (SPI) 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.
SRAM Write
All writes to nvSRAM are carried out on the SRAM and do not
use up any endurance cycles of the nonvolatile memory. This
enables the user 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, 3 bytes of address, and 1 byte of
data. Write to nvSRAM is done at SPI bus speed with zero cycle
delay.
CY14B101P allows burst mode writes to be performed through
SPI. 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 in the memory access
section of SPI protocol description.
Document Number: 001-44109 Rev. *M
SRAM Read
A read cycle in CY14B101P is performed at the SPI bus speed
and the data is read out with zero cycle delay after the READ
instruction is executed. The READ instruction is issued through
the SI pin of the nvSRAM and consists of the READ opcode and
3 bytes of address. The data is read out on the SO pin.
CY14B101P enables 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 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 CY14B101P 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 CY14B101P 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 took place.
AutoStore Operation
The AutoStore operation is a unique feature of nvSRAM, which
automatically stores the SRAM data to QuantumTrap 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 was performed since the last RECALL.
Note If a capacitor is not connected to VCAP pin, AutoStore must
be disabled by issuing the AutoStore Disable instruction
specified in AutoStore Disable (ASDISB) instruction on page 15.
If AutoStore is enabled without a capacitor on VCAP pin, the
device attempts an AutoStore operation without sufficient charge
to complete the Store. This corrupt the data stored in nvSRAM
and Status Register. To resume normal functionality, the WRSR
instruction must be issued to update the nonvolatile bits BP0,
BP1 and WPEN in the Status Register.

Figure 2 shows the proper connection of the storage capacitor
(VCAP) for AutoStore operation. See DC Electrical
Characteristics on page 24 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.
Figure 2. AutoStore Mode
RECALL Operation
VCC
A RECALL operation transfers the data stored in the nonvolatile
QuantumTrap elements to the SRAM. In CY14B101P, 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
VCAP
Hardware RECALL (Power-Up)
VSS
VCAP
During Power-up, when VCC crosses VSWITCH, an automatic
RECALL sequence is initiated, which transfers the content of
nonvolatile memory on to the SRAM.
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 STORE Operation
Software RECALL
Software STORE allows 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.
Software RECALL allows the user to initiate a RECALL operation
to restore the content of nonvolatile memory on to the SRAM. In
CY14B101P, this can be done by issuing a RECALL instruction
in SPI.
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/Busy status of the nvSRAM. After the tSTORE cycle time
is completed, the SRAM is activated again for read and write
operations.
A Software RECALL takes tRECALL time to complete during
which all memory accesses to nvSRAM are inhibited. The
controller must provide sufficient delay for the RECALL operation
to complete before issuing any memory access instructions.
Hardware STORE and HSB Pin Operation
The HSB pin in CY14B101P is used to control and acknowledge
STORE operations. If no STORE/RECALL is in progress, this pin
can be used to request a Hardware STORE cycle. When the
HSB pin is driven LOW, the CY14B101P conditionally initiates a
STORE operation after tDELAY duration. A STORE cycle starts
only if a write to the SRAM was 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.
Disabling and Enabling AutoStore
If the application does not require the AutoStore feature, it can
be disabled in CY14B101P 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 the user
needs this setting to survive the power cycle, a STORE operation
must be performed following AutoStore Disable or Enable
operation.
Note CY14B101P comes from the factory with AutoStore
Enabled and with 0x00 written in all cells.
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.
Note For successful last data byte STORE, a hardware store
should be initiated atleast one clock cycle after the last data bit
D0 is received.

CY14B101P
Serial Peripheral Interface
Serial Clock (SCK)
SPI Overview
Serial clock is generated by the SPI master and the
communication is synchronized with this clock after CS goes
LOW.
The SPI is a four-pin interface with Chip Select (CS), Serial Input
(SI), Serial Output (SO), and Serial Clock (SCK) pins.
CY14B101P provides serial access to nvSRAM through SPI
interface. The SPI bus on CY14B101P can run at speeds up to
40 MHz for all instructions except RDRTC which runs at 25 MHz.
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. CY14B101P 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 as follows:
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.
CY14B101P allows 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.
CY14B101P has two separate pins for SI and SO which can be
connected with the master as shown in Figure 3 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.
CY14B101P requires a 3-byte address for any read or write
operation. However, since the actual address is only 17 bits, it
implies that the first seven bits, which are fed in, are ignored by
the device. Although these seven bits are ‘don’t care’, Cypress
recommends that these bits are treated as 0s to enable
seamless transition to higher memory densities.
Serial Opcode
SPI Slave
After the slave device is selected with CS going LOW, the first
byte received is treated as the opcode for the intended operation.
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.
CY14B101P uses the standard opcodes for memory accesses.
In addition to the memory accesses, CY14B101P provides
additional opcodes for the nvSRAM specific functions: STORE,
RECALL, AutoStore Enable, and AutoStore Disable. Refer to
Table 1 on page 8 for details on opcodes.
CY14B101P operates as a slave device and may share the SPI
bus with multiple CY14B101P devices or other SPI devices.
Invalid Opcode
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 when the CS pin is LOW.
The CY14B101P is selected when 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.
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.
Status Register
CY14B101P 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 3 on page 9.
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.

SPI Modes
CY14B101P device may be driven by a microcontroller with its
SPI peripheral running in either of those two modes:
■
SPI Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0)
■
SPI Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1)
For both these modes, the input data is latched in on the rising
edge of SCK starting from the first rising edge after CS goes
active. 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.
The two SPI modes are shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5. The
status of clock when the bus master is in standby mode and not
transferring data is:
■
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 the
either Mode 0 or Mode 3. CY14B101P 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,
CY14B101P works in SPI Mode 3.

SPI Operating Features
Power-Up
Power-up is defined as the condition when the power supply is
turned on and VCC crosses VSWITCH voltage. During this time,
the CS must be enabled to follow the VCC voltage. Therefore, CS
must be connected to VCC through a suitable pull-up resistor. As
a built in safety feature, CS is both edge sensitive and level
sensitive. After power-up, the device is not selected until a falling
edge is detected on CS. This ensures that CS is HIGH, before
going LOW to start the first operation.
As described earlier, nvSRAM performs a Power-Up RECALL
operation after power-up and therefore, all memory accesses are
disabled for tFA duration after power-up. The HSB pin can be
probed to check the ready/busy status of nvSRAM after
power-up.
Power-On Reset
A power-on reset (POR) circuit is included to prevent inadvertent
writes. At power-up, the device does not respond to any
instruction until the VCC reaches the POR threshold voltage
(VSWITCH). After VCC transitions the POR threshold, the device
is internally reset and performs an Power-Up RECALL operation.
During Power-Up RECALL all device accesses are inhibited.
The device is in the following state after POR:
■
Deselected (after power-up, a falling edge is required on CS
before any instructions are started).
■
Standby power mode
■
Not in the HOLD Condition
Active Power and Standby Power Modes
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 24. When CS is HIGH, the
device is deselected and the device goes into the standby power
mode 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/RECALL cycle is
completed. In the standby power mode the current drawn by the
device drops to ISB.
SPI Functional Description
The CY14B101P uses an 8-bit instruction register. Instructions
and their operation codes are listed in Table 1. All instructions,
addresses, and data are transferred with the MSB first and start
with a HIGH to LOW CS transition. There are, in all, 12 SPI
instructions that provide access to most of the functions in
nvSRAM. Further, the WP, HOLD and HSB pins provide
additional functionality driven through hardware.

Status Register state:
❐ Write Enable (WEN) bit is reset to 0.
❐ WPEN, BP1, BP0 unchanged from previous STORE
operation
❐ Don’t care bits 4-6 are reset to 0.
The WPEN, BP1, and BP0 bits of the Status Register are
nonvolatile bits and remain unchanged from the previous
STORE operation.
Before selecting and issuing instructions to the memory, a valid
and stable VCC voltage must be applied. This voltage must
remain valid until the end of the instruction transmission.
Power-Down
At power-down (continuous decay of VCC), when VCC drops from
the normal operating voltage and below the VSWITCH threshold
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 last RECALL
cycle). This feature prevents inadvertent writes to nvSRAM from
happening during power-down.
However, to 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.

Status Register
The Status Register bits are listed in Table 2. The Status
Register consists of a Ready bit (RDY) and data protection bits
WEN, BP0, BP1, and WPEN. The RDY bit can be polled to
check the Ready/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
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 BP1, BP0, bits 4-6
and WPEN bits is ‘0’.

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 4 on page 11.
Bit 3 (BP1)
Block protect bit ‘1’
Used for block protection. For details see Table 4 on page 11.
Bits 4-6
Don’t care
Bits are writable and volatile. On power-up, bits are written with ‘0’.
Bit 7(WPEN) Write protect enable bit
Used for enabling the function of Write Protect Pin (WP). For details see Table 5 on
page 11.
Read Status Register (RDSR) Instruction
The Read Status Register (RDSR) instruction provides access
to the Status Register. 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.
Write Status Register (WRSR) Instruction
The WRSR instruction enables the user to write to the Status
Register. However, this instruction cannot be used to modify bit 0
and bit 1 (RDY and WEN). The BP0 and BP1 bits can be used
Document Number: 001-44109 Rev. *M
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.
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. Since, only bits 2, 3, and 7 can be
modified by WRSR instruction; therefore, it is recommended to
leave the bits 4–6 as ‘0’ while writing to the Status Register.
Note In CY14B101P, the values written to Status Register are
saved to nonvolatile memory only after a STORE operation. If
AutoStore is disabled, any modifications to the Status Register
must be secured by performing a Software STORE operation.

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.
CY14B101P provides features for both software and hardware
write protection using WRDI instruction and WP. Additionally, this
device also provides block protection mechanism through BP0
and BP1 pins of the Status Register.
Note After completion of a write instruction (WRSR, WRITE, or
WRTC) or nvSRAM special instruction (STORE, RECALL,
ASENB, ASDISB) instruction, WEN bit is cleared to ‘0’. This is
done to provide protection from any inadvertent writes.
Therefore, WREN instruction must be used before a new write
instruction is issued.
The Write Enable and Disable status of the device is indicated
by WEN bit of the Status Register. The write instructions (WRSR,
WRITE, and WRTC) and nvSRAM special instruction (STORE,
RECALL, ASENB, ASDISB) need the write to be enabled (WEN
bit = 1) before they can be issued.
Write Enable (WREN) Instruction
On power-up, the device is always in the write disable state. The
following WRITE, WRSR, WRTC, 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

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.
Block Protection
Read Sequence (READ) instruction
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 4 shows the function of
block protect bits.
The read operations on CY14B101P 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 three bytes
of address. The most significant address byte contains A16 in
bit 0 and other bits as don’t cares. Address bits A15 to A0 are
sent in the following two address bytes. 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.

Hardware Write Protection (WP Pin)
The write protect pin (WP) is used to provide hardware write
protection. WP pin allows 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 the user to install the CY14B101P 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 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 WP going LOW when CS is still LOW has no effect on any
of the ongoing write operations to the Status Register.
Document Number: 001-44109 Rev. *M
CY14B101P 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 (0x1FFFF) is reached, the address rolls over to
0x0000 and the device continues to read.
Write Sequence (WRITE) instruction
The write operations on CY14B101P are performed through the
SI pin. To perform a write operation CY14B101P, 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 3-bytes of address and the data
(D7-D0) which is to be written. The Most Significant address byte
contains A16 in bit 0 with other bits being don’t cares. Address
bits A15 to A0 are sent in the following two address bytes.
CY14B101P allows 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 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

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.
The WEN bit is reset to ‘0’ on completion of a WRITE sequence.
Note When a burst write reaches a protected block address, it
continues the address increment into the protected space but

RTC Access
the SO pin requires the following sequence: After the CS line is
pulled LOW to select a device, the RDRTC opcode is transmitted
through the SI line followed by eight address bits for selecting the
register. Any data on the SI line after the address bits is ignored.
The data (D7-D0) at the specified address is then shifted out onto
the SO line. RDRTC also allows burst mode read operation.
When reading multiple bytes from RTC registers, the address
rolls over to 0x00 after the last RTC register address (0x0F) is
reached.
The ‘R’ bit in RTC flags register must be set to '1' before reading
RTC time keeping registers to avoid reading transitional data.
Modifying the RTC flags registers requires a Write RTC cycle.
The ‘R’ bit must be cleared to '0' after completion of the read
operation.
The easiest way to read RTC registers is to perform RDRTC in
burst mode. The read may start from the first RTC register (0x00)
and the CS must be held LOW to allow the data from all 16 RTC
registers to be transmitted through the SO pin.
Note Read RTC (RDRTC) instruction operates at a maximum
clock frequency of 25 MHz. The opcode cycles, address cycles
and data out cycles need to run at 25 MHz for the instruction to
work properly.
CY14B101P uses 16 registers for RTC. These registers can be
read out or written to by accessing all 16 registers in burst mode
or accessing each register, one at a time. The RDRTC and
WRTC instructions are used to access the RTC.
All the RTC registers can be read in burst mode by issuing the
RDRTC instruction and reading all 16 bytes without bringing the
CS pin HIGH. The ‘R’ bit must be set while reading the RTC
timekeeping registers to ensure that transitional values of time
are not read.
Writes to the RTC register are performed using the WRTC
instruction. Writing RTC timekeeping registers and control
registers, except for the flags register needs the ‘W’ bit of the
flags register to be set to ‘1’. The internal counters are updated
with the new date and time setting when the ‘W’ bit is cleared to
‘0’. All the RTC registers can also be written in burst mode using
the WRTC instruction.

bytes of data. WRTC allows burst mode write operation. When
writing more than one registers in burst mode, the address rolls
over to 0x00 after the last RTC address (0x0F) is reached.
WRITE RTC (WRTC) instruction allows the user to modify the
contents of RTC registers. The WRTC instruction requires the
WEN bit to be set to '1' before it can be issued. If WEN bit is '0',
a WREN instruction needs to be issued before using WRTC.
Writing RTC registers requires the following sequence: After the
CS line is pulled LOW to select a device, WRTC opcode is
transmitted through the SI line followed by eight address bits
identifying the register which is to be written to and one or more
Note that writing to RTC timekeeping and control registers
require the ‘W’ bit to be set to '1'. The values in these RTC
registers take effect only after the W bit is cleared to '0'. Write
Enable bit (WEN) is automatically cleared to ‘0’ after completion
of the WRTC instruction.

The HOLD pin is used to pause the serial communication. 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. CS

communication. While the device serial communication is
paused, inputs to the SI pin are ignored and the SO pin is in the
high impedance state. To resume serial communication, the
HOLD pin must be brought HIGH when the SCK pin is LOW
(SCK may toggle during HOLD).

CY14B101P
Real Time Clock Operation
nvTIME Operation
The CY14B101P offers internal registers that contain clock,
alarm, watchdog, interrupt, and control functions. The RTC
registers occupy a separate address space from nvSRAM and
are accessible through the Read RTC register and Write RTC
register sequence on register addresses 0x00 to 0x0F. Internal
double buffering of the time keeping registers prevents
accessing transitional internal clock data during a read or write
operation. Double buffering also circumvents disrupting normal
timing counts or the clock accuracy of the internal clock when
accessing clock data. Clock and alarm registers store data in
BCD format.
Clock Operations
The clock registers maintain time up to 9,999 years in
one-second increments. The time can be set to any calendar
time and the clock automatically keeps track of days of the week
and month, leap years, and century transitions. There are eight
registers dedicated to the clock functions, which are used to set
time with a write cycle and to read time with a read cycle. These
registers contain the time of day in BCD format. Bits defined as
‘0’ are currently not used and are reserved for future use by
Cypress.
operation after tRTCp time while writing into the RTC registers for
the modifications to be correctly recorded.
Backup Power
The RTC in the CY14B101P is intended for permanently
powered operation. The VRTCcap or VRTCbat pin is connected
depending on whether a capacitor or battery is chosen for the
application. When the primary power, VCC, fails and drops below
VSWITCH the device switches to the backup power supply.
The clock oscillator uses very little current, which maximizes the
backup time available from the backup source. Regardless of the
clock operation with the primary source removed, the data stored
in the nvSRAM is secure, having been stored in the nonvolatile
elements when power was lost.
During backup operation, the CY14B101P consumes a 0.35 µA
(Typ) at room temperature. The user must choose capacitor or
battery values according to the application.
Backup time values based on maximum current specifications
are shown in the following Table 7. Nominal backup times are
approximately two times longer.

The double buffered RTC register structure reduces the chance
of reading incorrect data from the clock. Internal updates to the
CY14B101P time keeping registers are stopped when the read
bit ‘R’ (in the flags register at 0x00) is set to ‘1’ before reading
clock data to prevent reading of data in transition. Stopping the
register updates does not affect clock accuracy.
1.0 F
30 days
When a read sequence of RTC device is initiated, the update of
the user timekeeping registers stops and does not restart until a
‘0’ is written to the read bit ‘R’ (in the flags register at 0x00). After
the end of read sequence, all the RTC registers are simultaneously updated within 20 ms.
Setting the Clock
A write access to the RTC device stops updates to the time
keeping registers and enables the time to be set when the write
bit ‘W’ (in the flags register at 0x00) is set to ‘1’. The correct day,
date, and time is then written into the registers and must be in 24
hour BCD format. The time written is referred to as the “Base
Time”. This value is stored in nonvolatile registers and used in
the calculation of the current time. When the write bit ‘W’ is
cleared by writing ‘0’ to it, the values of timekeeping registers are
transferred to the actual clock counters after which the clock
resumes normal operation.
If the time written to the timekeeping registers is not in the correct
BCD format, each invalid nibble of the RTC registers continue
counting to 0xF before rolling over to 0x0 after which RTC
resumes normal operation.
Note After ‘W’ bit is set to ‘0’, values written into the timekeeping,
alarm, calibration, and interrupt registers are transferred to the
RTC time keeping counters in tRTCp time. These counter values
must be saved to nonvolatile memory either by initiating a
Software/Hardware STORE or AutoStore operation. While
working in AutoStore disabled mode, perform a STORE
Document Number: 001-44109 Rev. *M
Using a capacitor has the obvious advantage of recharging the
backup source each time the system is powered up. If a battery
is used, a 3 V lithium is recommended and the CY14B101P
sources current only from the battery when the primary power is
removed. However, the battery is not recharged at any time by
the CY14B101P. The battery capacity must be chosen for total
anticipated cumulative down time required over the life of the
system.
Stopping and Starting the Oscillator
The OSCEN bit in the calibration register at 0x08 controls the
enable and disable of the oscillator. This bit is nonvolatile and is
shipped to customers in the “enabled” (set to ‘0’) state. To
preserve the battery life when the system is in storage, OSCEN
must be set to ‘1’. This turns off the oscillator circuit, extending
the battery life. If the OSCEN bit goes from disabled to enabled,
it takes approximately one second (two seconds maximum) for
the oscillator to start.
While system power is off, if the voltage on the backup supply
(VRTCcap or VRTCbat) falls below their respective minimum level,
the oscillator may fail.The CY14B101P has the ability to detect
oscillator failure when system power is restored. This is recorded
in the Oscillator Fail Flag (OSCF) of the flags register at the
address 0x00. When the device is powered on (VCC goes above
VSWITCH) the OSCEN bit is checked for the ‘enabled’ status. If
the OSCEN bit is enabled and the oscillator is not active within
the first 5 ms, the OSCF bit is set to ‘1’. The system must check
for this condition and then write ‘0’ to clear the flag.
Note that in addition to setting the OSCF flag bit, the time
registers are reset to the ‘Base Time’, which is the value last
written to the timekeeping registers. The control or calibration
Page 16 of 36
CY14B101P
registers and the OSCEN bit are not affected by the ‘oscillator
failed’ condition.
The value of OSCF must be reset to ‘0’ when the time registers
are written for the first time. This initializes the state of this bit
which may have become set when the system was first powered
on.
To reset OSCF, set the write bit ‘W’ (in the flags register at 0x00)
to a ‘1’ to enable writes to the flags register. Write a ‘0’ to the
OSCF bit and then reset the write bit to ‘0’ to disable writes.
Calibrating the Clock
The RTC is driven by a quartz controlled crystal with a nominal
frequency of 32.768 kHz. Clock accuracy depends on the quality
of the crystal and calibration. The crystals available in market
typically have an error of +20 ppm to +35 ppm. However,
CY14B101P employs a calibration circuit that improves the
accuracy to +1/–2 ppm at 25 C. This implies an error of
+2.5 seconds to -5 seconds per month.
The calibration circuit adds or subtracts counts from the oscillator
divider circuit to achieve this accuracy. The number of pulses that
are suppressed (subtracted, negative calibration) or split (added,
positive calibration) depends upon the value loaded into the five
calibration bits found in calibration register at 0x08. The
calibration bits occupy the five lower order bits in the calibration
register. These bits are set to represent any value between ‘0’
and 31 in binary form. Bit D5 is a sign bit, where a ‘1’ indicates
positive calibration and a ‘0’ indicates negative calibration.
Adding counts speeds the clock up and subtracting counts slows
the clock down. If a binary ‘1’ is loaded into the register, it
corresponds to an adjustment of 4.068 or –2.034 ppm offset in
oscillator error, depending on the sign.
Calibration occurs within a 64-minute cycle. The first 62 minutes
in the cycle may, once per minute, have one second shortened
by 128 or lengthened by 256 oscillator cycles. If a binary ‘1’ is
loaded into the register, only the first two minutes of the
64-minute cycle are modified. If a binary 6 is loaded, the first 12
are affected, and so on. Therefore, each calibration step has the
effect of adding 512 or subtracting 256 oscillator cycles for every
125,829,120 actual oscillator cycles, that is, 4.068 or –2.034 ppm
of adjustment per calibration step in the calibration register.
To determine the required calibration, the CAL bit in the flags
register (0x00) must be set to ‘1’. This causes the INT pin to
toggle at a nominal frequency of 512 Hz. Any deviation
measured from the 512 Hz indicates the degree and direction of
the required correction. For example, a reading of 512.01024 Hz
indicates a +20 ppm error. Hence, a decimal value of –10
(001010b) must be loaded into the calibration register to offset
this error.
Note Setting or changing the calibration register does not affect
the test output frequency.
To set or clear CAL, set the write bit ‘W’ (in the flags register at
0x00) to ‘1’ to enable writes to the flags register. Write a value to
CAL, and then reset the write bit to ‘0’ to disable writes.
Alarm
The alarm function compares user programmed values of alarm
time and date (stored in the registers 0x01–5) with the
Document Number: 001-44109 Rev. *M
corresponding time of day and date values. When a match
occurs, the alarm internal flag (AF) is set and an interrupt is
generated on INT pin if Alarm Interrupt Enable (AIE) bit is set.
There are four alarm match fields: date, hours, minutes, and
seconds. Each of these fields has a match bit that is used to
determine if the field is used in the alarm match logic. Setting the
match bit to ‘0’ indicates that the corresponding field is used in
the match process. Depending on the match bits, the alarm
occurs as specifically as once a month or as frequently as once
every minute. Selecting none of the match bits (all 1s) indicates
that no match is required and therefore, alarm is disabled.
Selecting all match bits (all 0s) causes an exact time and date
match.
There are two ways to detect an alarm event: by reading the AF
flag or monitoring the INT pin. The AF flag in the flags register at
0x00 indicates that a date or time match has occurred. The AF
bit is set to ‘1’ when a match occurs. Reading the flags register
clears the alarm flag bit (and all others). A hardware interrupt pin
may also be used to detect an alarm event.
To set, clear or enable an alarm, set the ‘W’ bit (in the flags
register - 0x00) to ‘1’ to enable writes to alarm registers. After
writing the alarm value, clear the ‘W’ bit back to ‘0’ for the
changes to take effect.
Note CY14B101P requires the alarm match bit for seconds (bit
‘D7’ in Alarm-Seconds register 0x02) to be set to ‘0’ for proper
operation of Alarm Flag and Interrupt.
Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer is a free running down counter that uses the
32 Hz clock (31.25 ms) derived from the crystal oscillator. The
oscillator must be running for the watchdog to function. It begins
counting down from the value loaded in the Watchdog Timer
register.
The timer consists of a loadable register and a free running
counter. On power-up, the watchdog time out value in register
0x07 is loaded into the counter load register. Counting begins on
power-up and restarts from the loadable value any time the
Watchdog strobe (WDS) bit is set to ‘1’. The counter is compared
to the terminal value of ‘0’. If the counter reaches this value, it
causes an internal flag and an optional interrupt output. You can
prevent the time out interrupt by setting WDS bit to ‘1’ prior to the
counter reaching ‘0’. This causes the counter to reload with the
watchdog time out value and to be restarted. As long as the user
sets the WDS bit prior to the counter reaching the terminal value,
the interrupt and WDT flag never occur.
New time out values are written by setting the watchdog write bit
to ‘0’. When the WDW is ‘0’, new writes to the watchdog time out
value bits D5-D0 are enabled to modify the time out value. When
WDW is ‘1’, writes to bits D5-D0 are ignored. The WDW function
enables a user to set the WDS bit without concern that the
watchdog timer value is modified. A logical diagram of the
watchdog timer is shown in Figure 21 on page 18. Note that
setting the watchdog time out value to ‘0’ disables the watchdog
function.
The output of the watchdog timer is the flag bit WDF that is set if
the watchdog is allowed to time out. If the watchdog interrupt
enable (WIE) bit in the interrupt register is set, a hardware
interrupt on INT pin is also generated on watchdog timeout. The

flag and the hardware interrupt are both cleared when user reads
the flags register.

Power Monitor
The CY14B101P provides a power management scheme with
power fail interrupt capability. It also controls the internal switch
to backup power for the clock and protects the memory from low
VCC access. The power monitor is based on an internal bandgap
reference circuit that compares the VCC voltage to VSWITCH
threshold.
As described in the section AutoStore Operation on page 4,
when VSWITCH is reached as VCC decays from power loss, a data
STORE operation is initiated from SRAM to the nonvolatile
elements, securing the last SRAM data state. Power is also
switched from VCC to the backup supply (battery or capacitor) to
operate the RTC oscillator.
When operating from the backup source, read and write
operations to nvSRAM are inhibited and the RTC functions are
not available to the user. The RTC clock continues to operate in
the background. The updated RTC time keeping registers data
are available to the user after VCC is restored to the device (see
AutoStore or Power-Up RECALL on page 28).
Interrupts
The CY14B101P has a flags register, interrupt register, and
Interrupt logic that can signal interrupt to the microcontroller.
There are three potential sources for interrupt: watchdog timer,
power monitor, and alarm timer. Each of these can be individually
enabled to drive the INT pin by appropriate setting in the interrupt
register (0x06). In addition, each has an associated flag bit in the
flags register (0x00) that the host processor uses to determine
the cause of the interrupt. The INT pin driver has two bits that
specify its behavior when an interrupt occurs.
An interrupt is raised only if both a flag is raised by one of the
three sources and the respective interrupt enable bit in interrupts
register is enabled (set to ‘1’). After an interrupt source is active,
two programmable bits, H/L and P/L, determine the behavior of
the output pin driver on INT pin. These two bits are located in the
Document Number: 001-44109 Rev. *M
interrupt register and can be used to drive level or pulse mode
output from the INT pin. In pulse mode, the pulse width is
internally fixed at approximately 200 ms. This mode is intended
to reset a host microcontroller. In the level mode, the pin goes to
its active polarity until the flags register is read by the user. This
mode is used as an interrupt to a host microcontroller. The
control bits are summarized in the following section.
Interrupts are only generated while working on normal power and
are not triggered when system is running in backup power mode.
Note CY14B101P generates valid interrupts only after the
Power-Up RECALL sequence is completed. All events on INT
pin must be ignored for tFA duration after power-up.
Interrupt Register
Watchdog Interrupt Enable (WIE). When set to ‘1’, the
watchdog timer drives the INT pin and an internal flag when a
watchdog time out occurs. When WIE is set to ‘0’, the watchdog
timer only affects the WDF flag in flags register.
Alarm Interrupt Enable (AIE). When set to ‘1’, the alarm match
drives the INT pin and an internal flag. When AIE is set to ‘0’, the
alarm match only affects the AF flag in flags register.
Power Fail Interrupt Enable (PFE). When set to ‘1’, the power
fail monitor drives the pin and an internal flag. When PFE is set
to ‘0’, the power fail monitor only affects the PF flag in flags
register.
High/Low (H/L). When set to a ‘1’, the INT pin is active HIGH
and the driver mode is push pull. The INT pin drives HIGH only
when VCC is greater than VSWITCH. When set to a ‘0’, the INT pin
is active LOW and the drive mode is open drain. The INT pin
must be pulled up to VCC by a 10 k resistor while using the
interrupt in active LOW mode.
Pulse/Level (P/L). When set to a ‘1’ and an interrupt occurs, the
INT pin is driven for approximately 200 ms. When P/L is set to a
‘0’, the INT pin is driven HIGH or LOW (determined by H/L) until
the flags register is read.
When an enabled interrupt source activates the INT pin, an
external host reads the flags registers to determine the cause.
Remember that all flags are cleared when the register is read. If
the INT pin is programmed for Level mode, then the condition
clears and the INT pin returns to its inactive state. If the pin is
programmed for pulse mode, then reading the flag also clears
the flag and the pin. The pulse does not complete its specified
duration if the flags register is read. If the INT pin is used as a
host reset, the flags register is not read during a reset.
Flags Register
The flags register has three flag bits: WDF, AF, and PF, which
can be used to generate an interrupt. These flags are set by the
watchdog timeout, alarm match, or power fail monitor
respectively. The processor can either poll this register or enable
interrupts to be informed when a flag is set. These flags are
automatically reset when the register is read. The flags register
is automatically loaded with the value 0x00 on power-up (except
for the OSCF bit. See Stopping and Starting the Oscillator on
page 16).

CY14B101P
Accessing the Real Time Clock through SPI
timekeeping registers to ensure that transitional values of time
are not read.
CY14B101P uses 16 registers for RTC. These registers can be
read out or written to by accessing all 16 registers in burst mode
or accessing each register, one at a time. The RDRTC and
WRTC instructions are used to access the RTC.
Writes to the RTC register are performed using the WRTC
instruction. Writing RTC timekeeping registers and control
registers, except for the flag register needs the ‘W’ bit of the flag
register to be set to ‘1’. The internal counters are updated with
the new date and time setting when the ‘W’ bit is cleared to ‘0’.
All the RTC registers can also be written in burst mode using the
WRTC instruction.
All the RTC registers can be read in burst mode by issuing the
RDRTC instruction and reading all 16 bytes without bringing the
CS pin HIGH. The ‘R’ bit must be set while reading the RTC

Watchdog Timer on page 17.
WDT
Watchdog timeout selection. The watchdog timer interval is selected by the 6-bit value in this register. It represents a
multiplier of the 32 Hz count (31.25 ms). The range of timeout value is 31.25 ms (a setting of 1) to 2 seconds (setting
of 3 Fh). Setting the watchdog timer register to 0 disables the timer. These bits can be written only if the WDW bit was

Pulse / Level. When set to ‘1’, the INT pin is driven active (determined by H / L) by an interrupt source for approximately
200 ms. When set to 0, the INT pin is driven to an active level (as set by H / L) until the flags register is read.

WDF
Watchdog timer flag. This read only bit is set to ‘1’ when the watchdog timer is allowed to reach 0 without being reset
by the user. It is cleared to ‘0’ when the flags register is read or on power-up
AF
Alarm flag. This read only bit is set to ‘1’ when the time and date match the values stored in the alarm registers with
the match bits = ‘0’. It is cleared when the flags register is read or on power-up.
PF
Power fail flag. This read only bit is set to ‘1’ when power falls below the power fail threshold VSWITCH. It is cleared to
‘0’ when the flags register is read or on power-up.
OSCF
Oscillator fail flag. Set to ‘1’ on power-up if the oscillator is enabled and not running in the first 5 ms of operation. This
indicates that RTC backup power failed and clock value is no longer valid. This bit survives the power cycle and is never
cleared internally by the chip. The user must check for this condition and write '0' to clear this flag. When user resets
OSCF flag bit, the bit will be updated after tRTCp time.
CAL
Calibration mode. When set to ‘1’, a 512 Hz square wave is output on the INT pin. When set to ‘0’, the INT pin resumes
normal operation. This bit defaults to 0 (disabled) on power-up.
W
Write enable: Setting the ‘W’ bit to ‘1’ freezes updates of the RTC registers. The user can then write to RTC registers,
alarm registers, calibration register, interrupt register and flags register. Setting the ‘W’ bit to ‘0’ causes the contents of
the RTC registers to be transferred to the time keeping counters if the time has changed. This transfer process takes
tRTCp time to complete. This bit defaults to 0 on power-up.
R
Read enable: Setting ‘R’ bit to ‘1’, stops clock updates to user RTC registers so that clock updates are not seen during
the reading process. Set ‘R’ bit to ‘0’ to resume clock updates to the holding register. Setting this bit does not require
‘W’ bit to be set to ‘1’. This bit defaults to 0 on power-up.

Notes
7. Typical values are at 25 °C, VCC= VCC(Typ). Not 100% tested.
8. The HSB pin has IOUT = -2 uA for VOH of 2.4 V when both active HIGH and LOW drivers are disabled. When they are enabled standard VOH and VOL are valid. This
parameter is characterized but not tested.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. These parameters are guaranteed by design and are not tested.

Notes
13. Typical values are at 25 °C, VCC = VCC(Typ). Not 100% tested.
14. Current drawn from either VRTCcap or VRTCbat when VCC < VSWITCH.
15. If VRTCcap > 0.5 V or if no capacitor is connected to VRTCcap pin, the oscillator will start in tOCS time. If a backup capacitor is connected and VRTCcap < 0.5 V, the
capacitor must be allowed to charge to 0.5 V for oscillator to start.
16. Test conditions assume signal transition time of 3 ns or less, timing reference levels of VCC/2, input pulse levels of 0 to VCC(typ), and output loading of the specified
IOL/IOH and load capacitance shown in Figure 24.
17. Applicable for RTC opcode cycles, address cycles and dataout cycles.
18. These parameters are guaranteed by design and are not tested.
