The Cypress CY14E256LA is a fast static RAM, with a
nonvolatile element in each memory cell. The memory is
organized as 32 KB. The embedded nonvolatile elements
incorporate QuantumTrap technology, producing the world’s
most reliable nonvolatile memory. The SRAM provides infinite
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.

CY14E256LA
The CY14E256LA nvSRAM is made up of two functional
components paired in the same physical cell. They are an SRAM
memory cell and a nonvolatile QuantumTrap cell. The SRAM
memory cell operates as a standard fast static RAM. Data in the
SRAM is transferred to the nonvolatile cell (the STORE
operation), or from the nonvolatile cell to the SRAM (the RECALL
operation). Using this unique architecture, all cells are stored and
recalled in parallel. During the STORE and RECALL operations,
SRAM read and write operations are inhibited. The
CY14E256LA supports infinite reads and writes similar to a
typical SRAM. In addition, it provides infinite RECALL operations
from the nonvolatile cells and up to 1 million STORE operations.
Refer to the Truth Table For SRAM Operations on page 15 for a
complete description of read and write modes.
SRAM Read
The CY14E256LA performs a read cycle when CE and OE are
LOW and WE and HSB are HIGH. The address specified on pins
A0-14 determines which of the 32,768 data bytes each are
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 output repeatedly
responds to address changes within the tAA access time without
the need for transitions on any control input pins. This remains
valid until another address change or until CE or OE is brought
HIGH, or WE or HSB is brought LOW.
SRAM Write
A write cycle is performed when CE and WE are LOW and HSB
is HIGH. The address inputs must be stable before entering the
write cycle and must remain stable until CE or WE goes HIGH at
the end of the cycle. The data on the common I/O pins DQ0–7 are
written into the memory if the data is valid tSD before the end of
a WE-controlled write or before the end of a CE-controlled write.
Keep OE HIGH during the entire write cycle to avoid data bus
contention on common I/O lines. If OE is left LOW, internal
circuitry turns off the output buffers tHZWE after WE goes LOW.
AutoStore Operation
The CY14E256LA stores data to the nvSRAM using one of the
following three storage operations: Hardware STORE activated
by HSB; Software STORE activated by an address sequence;
AutoStore on device power-down. The AutoStore operation is a
unique feature of QuantumTrap technology and is enabled by
default on the CY14E256LA.
During a normal operation, the device draws current from VCC to
charge a capacitor connected to the VCAP pin. This stored
charge is used by the chip to perform a single STORE operation.
If the voltage on the VCC pin drops below VSWITCH, the part
automatically disconnects the VCAP pin from VCC. A STORE
operation is initiated with power provided by the VCAP capacitor.
Note If the capacitor is not connected to VCAP pin, AutoStore
must be disabled using the soft sequence specified in Preventing
AutoStore on page 6. In case AutoStore is enabled without a
capacitor on VCAP pin, the device attempts an AutoStore
operation without sufficient charge to complete the Store. This
corrupts the data stored in nvSRAM.
Document Number: 001-54952 Rev. *I
Figure 2 shows the proper connection of the storage capacitor
(VCAP) for automatic STORE operation. Refer to DC Electrical
Characteristics on page 7 for the size of VCAP. The voltage on
the VCAP pin is driven to VCC by a regulator on the chip. Place a
pull-up on WE to hold it inactive during power-up. This pull-up is
only effective if the WE signal is tristate during power-up. Many
MPUs tristate their controls on power-up. This must be verified
when using the pull-up. When the nvSRAM comes out of
power-on-RECALL, the MPU must be active or the WE held
inactive until the MPU comes out of reset.
To reduce unnecessary nonvolatile stores, AutoStore and
Hardware STORE operations are ignored unless at least one
write operation has taken place since the most recent STORE or
RECALL cycle. Software initiated STORE cycles are performed
regardless of whether a write operation has taken place. The
HSB signal is monitored by the system to detect if an AutoStore
cycle is in progress.

Hardware STORE Operation
The CY14E256LA provides the HSB pin to control and
acknowledge the STORE operations. Use the HSB pin to
request a Hardware STORE cycle. When the HSB pin is driven
LOW, the CY14E256LA conditionally initiates a STORE
operation after tDELAY. An actual STORE cycle only begins if a
write to the SRAM has taken place since the last STORE or
RECALL cycle. 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 internal 100 k pull-up
resistor.
SRAM write operations that are in progress when HSB is driven
LOW by any means are given time (tDELAY) to complete before
the STORE operation is initiated. However, any SRAM write
cycles requested after HSB goes LOW are inhibited until HSB
returns HIGH. In case the write latch is not set, HSB is not driven
LOW by the CY14E256LA. But any SRAM read and write cycles
are inhibited until HSB is returned HIGH by MPU or other
external source.

4. Read address 0x3C1F Valid READ
5. Read address 0x303F Valid READ
6. Read address 0x0FC0 Initiate STORE cycle
During any STORE operation, regardless of how it is initiated,
the CY14E256LA continues to drive the HSB pin LOW, releasing
it only when the STORE is complete. Upon completion of the
STORE operation, the nvSRAM memory access is inhibited for
tLZHSB time after HSB pin returns HIGH. Leave the HSB
unconnected if it is not used.
Hardware RECALL (Power-up)
The software sequence may be clocked with CE controlled reads
or OE controlled reads, with WE kept HIGH for all the six READ
sequences. After the sixth address in the sequence is entered,
the STORE cycle commences and the chip is disabled. HSB is
driven LOW. After the tSTORE cycle time is fulfilled, the SRAM is
activated again for the read and write operation.
During power-up or after any low power condition
(VCC< VSWITCH), an internal RECALL request is latched. When
VCC again exceeds the sense voltage of VSWITCH, a RECALL
cycle is automatically initiated and takes tHRECALL to complete.
During this time, HSB is driven low by the HSB driver.
Software STORE
Software RECALL
Data is transferred from SRAM to the nonvolatile memory by a
software address sequence. The CY14E256LA Software
STORE cycle is initiated by executing sequential CE or OE
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. After a STORE cycle is initiated, further
input and output are disabled until the cycle is completed.
Data is transferred from 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 or OE controlled read operations
must be 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
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, or the sequence is aborted
and no STORE or RECALL takes place.
To initiate the Software STORE cycle, the following read
sequence must be performed:
Internally, RECALL is a two step procedure. First, the SRAM data
is cleared. Next, the nonvolatile information is transferred into the
SRAM cells. After the tRECALL cycle time, the SRAM is again
ready for read and write operations. The RECALL operation
does not alter the data in the nonvolatile elements.

Preventing AutoStore
The AutoStore function is disabled by initiating an AutoStore
disable sequence. A sequence of read operations is performed
in a manner similar to the Software STORE initiation. To initiate
the AutoStore disable sequence, the following sequence of CE
or OE controlled read operations must be 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 0x0B45 AutoStore Disable
The AutoStore is reenabled by initiating an AutoStore enable
sequence. A sequence of read operations is performed in a
manner similar to the Software RECALL initiation. To initiate the
AutoStore enable sequence, the following sequence of CE or OE
controlled read operations must be 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 0x0B46 AutoStore Enable
If the AutoStore function is disabled or reenabled, a manual
STORE operation (Hardware or Software) must be issued to
save the AutoStore state through subsequent power-down
cycles. The part comes from the factory with AutoStore enabled
and 0x00 written in all cells.
Data Protection
The CY14E256LA protects data from corruption during low
voltage conditions by inhibiting all externally initiated STORE
and write operations. The low voltage condition is detected when
VCC is less than VSWITCH. If the CY14E256LA is in a write mode
(both CE and WE are LOW) at power-up, after a RECALL or
STORE, the write is inhibited until the SRAM is enabled after
tLZHSB (HSB to output active). This protects against inadvertent
writes during power-up or brown out conditions.
Note
8. The six consecutive address locations must be in the order listed. WE must be HIGH during all six cycles to enable a nonvolatile cycle.

Notes
11. 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. Refer application note AN43593 for more details on VCAP options.
12. 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.
13. These parameters are guaranteed by design and are not tested

Notes
25. tHRECALL starts from the time VCC rises above VSWITCH.
26. If an SRAM write has not taken place since the last nonvolatile cycle, no AutoStore or Hardware STORE takes place.
27. On a Hardware STORE and AutoStore initiation, SRAM write operation continues to be enabled for time tDELAY.
28. These parameters are guaranteed by design and are not tested.
29. Read and Write cycles are ignored during STORE, RECALL, and while VCC is less than VSWITCH.
30. During power-up and power-down, HSB glitches when HSB pin is pulled up through an external resistor.

Notes
34. This is the amount of time it takes to take action on a soft sequence command. Vcc power must remain HIGH to effectively register command.
35. Commands such as STORE and RECALL lock out I/O until operation is complete which further increases this time. See the specific command.
36. If an SRAM write has not taken place since the last nonvolatile cycle, no AutoStore or Hardware STORE takes place.
