Functional Overview
The Cypress CY14X101Q combines a 1-Mbit nvSRAM with a
nonvolatile element in each memory cell 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 (except for CY14X101Q1A). 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.

Device Operation
CY14X101Q is a 1-Mbit 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.
The 1-Mbit memory array is organized as 128 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.
CY14X101Q 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.

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
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, three bytes of address, and one
byte of data. Write to nvSRAM is done at SPI bus speed with zero
cycle delay.
The device 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
0x00000 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 three 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, three 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
0x00000 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
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.
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.
Figure 3 shows the proper connection of the storage capacitor
(VCAP) for AutoStore operation. Refer to DC Electrical
Characteristics on page 20 for the size of the VCAP.
Note CY14X101Q1A does not support AutoStore operation. You
must perform Software STORE operation by using the SPI
STORE instruction to secure the data.

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 CY14X101Q is inhibited until the cycle is
completed.

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
is completed, the SRAM is activated again for read and write
operations.
Hardware STORE and HSB pin Operation
The HSB pin in CY14X101Q3A 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.
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 CY14X101Q1A/CY14X101Q2A do not have HSB pin. RDY
bit of the SPI Status Register may be probed to determine the
Ready or Busy status of nvSRAM.

CY14B101Q
CY14E101Q
RECALL Operation
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.
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.
Hardware RECALL (Power-Up)
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
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 CY14X101Q2A/CY14X101Q3A has AutoStore enabled
and CY14X101Q1A/CY14X101Q2A/CY14X101Q3A has 0x00
written in all cells from the factory. In CY14X101Q1A, VCAP pin
is not present and AutoStore option is not available. The
AutoStore Enable and Disable instructions to CY14X101Q1A 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.
CY14X101Q provides serial access to nvSRAM through SPI
interface. The SPI bus on CY14X101Q can run at speeds up to
104 MHz except READ instruction.
Document Number: 001-54393 Rev. *I
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.
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.
CY14X101Q 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.
CY14X101Q 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
Page 6 of 33
CY14C101Q
CY14B101Q
CY14E101Q
Serial Opcode
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.
After the slave device is selected with CS going LOW, the first
byte received is treated as the opcode for the intended operation.
CY14X101Q 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. Refer to Table 2 on
page 9 for details.
CY14X101Q 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.
Invalid Opcode
The 1-Mbit serial nvSRAM requires a 3-byte address for any read
or write operation. However, since the 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.
Status Register
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 tri-stated.
CY14X101Q 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.

SPI Modes
CY14X101Q may be driven by a microcontroller with its SPI
peripheral running in either of the following 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.
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.

The two SPI modes are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6. The

SPI Operating Features
Power-Up
Power-up is defined as the condition when the power supply is
turned on and VCC crosses Vswitch voltage.
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.
The following are the device status after power-up.
■
Selected (Active power mode) if CS pin is LOW
■
Deselected (Standby power mode) if CS pin is HIGH
■
Not in the Hold condition
■
Status Register state:
❐ Write Enable (WEN) bit is reset to ‘0’.
Document Number: 001-54393 Rev. *I
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 the last RECALL
cycle). This feature prevents inadvertent writes to nvSRAM from
happening during power-down.
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.
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 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.

SPI Functional Description
The CY14X101Q uses an 8-bit instruction register. 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.

Status Register
The Status Register bits are listed in Table 3. 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'.

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: 001-54393 Rev. *I
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 CY14X101Q, the values written to Status Register are
saved to nonvolatile memory only after a STORE operation. If
AutoStore is disabled (or while using CY14X101Q1A), any
modifications to the Status Register must be secured by
performing a Software STORE operation.
Note CY14X101Q2A does not have WP pin. Any modification to
bit 7 of the Status Register has no effect on the functionality of
CY14X101Q2A.

Write Protection and Block Protection
Block Protection
CY14X101Q 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.
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.

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.

Hardware Write Protection (WP)
The write protect pin (WP) is used to provide hardware write
protection. 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 CY14X101Q2A does not have WP pin and therefore does
not provide hardware write protection.

Memory Access
MSB. 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 0x00000 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 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.
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 three 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.
CY14X101Q 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
0x00000 and the device continues to read.
Fast Read Sequence (FAST_READ) Instruction
CY14X101Q 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 (0x1FFFF) is reached, the address rolls over to 0x00000
and the device continues to write. The WEN bit is reset to ‘0’ on
completion of a WRITE sequence.
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 3
address byte containing the17 bit address (A16–A0) and then a
dummy byte.
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.
Note The READ instruction operates up to a maximum of
40 MHz SPI frequency.
From the subsequent falling edge of the SCK, the data of the
specific address is shifted out serially on the SO line starting with

AutoStore Enable (ASENB) Instruction
CY14X101Q provides four special instructions which enables
access to the nvSRAM specific functions: STORE, RECALL,
ASDISB, and ASENB. Table 7 lists these instructions.
The AutoStore Enable instruction enables the AutoStore on
CY14X101Q2A/CY14X101Q3A. This setting is not nonvolatile
and needs to be followed by a STORE sequence to survive the
power cycle.

Software STORE (STORE) Instruction
When a STORE instruction is executed, nvSRAM performs a
Software STORE operation. 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

Special Instructions
Serial Number
SLEEP Instruction
The serial number is an 8 byte programmable memory space
provided to you uniquely identify this device. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

RDSN (Serial Number Read) Instruction
RDSN instruction can be issued by shifting the op-code for
RDSN in through the SI pin of nvSRAM after CS goes LOW. This
is followed by nvSRAM shifting out the eight bytes of serial
number through the SO pin.
The serial number is read using RDSN instruction at SPI
frequency upto 40 MHz. A serial number read may be performed
in burst mode to read all the eight bytes at once. After the last
byte of serial number is read, the device does not loop back.

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
1Mb density of the product.

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. 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.

6. 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.
7. 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.
8. These parameters are guaranteed by design and are not tested.

Notes
12. tFA starts from the time VCC rises above VSWITCH.
13. If an SRAM write has not taken place since the last nonvolatile cycle, AutoStore or Hardware STORE is not initiated.
14. On a Hardware STORE, Software STORE / RECALL, AutoStore Enable / Disable and AutoStore initiation, SRAM operation continues to be enabled for time tDELAY.
15. These parameters are guaranteed by design and are not tested.
16. Read and Write cycles are ignored during STORE, RECALL, and while VCC is below VSWITCH.
17. During power-up and power-down, HSB glitches when HSB pin is pulled up through an external resistor.

Notes
18. 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.
19. Commands such as STORE and RECALL lock out I/O until operation is complete which further increases this time. See the specific command.
