DESCRIPTION
The DS2227 Flexible NV SRAM Stik is a self-contained 4,194,304-bit nonvolatile static RAM which can
be flexibly organized as 128k x 32 bits, 256k x 16 bits, or 512k x 8 bits. The nonvolatile memory contains
all necessary control circuitry and lithium energy sources to maintain data integrity in the absence of
power for more than 10 years. The DS2227 employs the popular JEDEC standard 72-position SIMM
connection scheme requiring no additional circuitry.
OPERATION
The DS2227 Flexible NV SRAM Stik is used like any standard static RAM. All nonvolatile circuitry is
transparent to the user. The flexibility of the part is achieved by providing separate read, write, and chip

select pins for each of the four banks of onboard memories (see Figure 1). For operation as a 512k x 8 NV
SRAM Stik, tie all data lines from each bank together (i.e., all D0s together, all D1s together, etc.). Read
enables and write enables are also tied together. For operation as a 256k x 16 NV SRAM Stik, tie the data
lines from two banks together. Chip enables, read enables, and write enables from these banks are also
tied together. Connection to the DS2227 is made by using an industry-standard, 72-position SIMM socket
DS9072-72V (AMP part number 821824-8). These SIMM sockets are also available in perpendicular,
inclined, or parallel mount, depending on the height available. See the DS907x SipStikTM connectors
available from Dallas Semiconductor.
READ MODE
The DS2227 executes a read cycle whenever WE (Write Enable) is inactive (high) and CE (Chip Enable)
and OE (Output Enable) are active (low). The unique address specified by the 17 address inputs (A0 - A16)
defines which byte of data is to be accessed. Valid data will be available to the eight data I/O pins within
tACC (access time) after the last address input signal is stable, providing that CE and OE access times are
also satisfied. If OE and CE times are not satisfied, then data access must be measured from the later
occurring signal ( CE or OE ) and the limiting parameter is either tCO for CE or tOE for OE rather than
address access.
WRITE MODE
The DS2227 is in the write mode whenever both WE and CE signals are in the active (low) state after
address inputs are stable. The latter occurring falling edge of CE or WE will determine the start of the
write cycle. The write cycle is terminated by the earlier rising edge of CE or WE . All address inputs must
be kept valid throughout the write cycle. WE must return to the high state for a minimum recovery time
(tWR) before another cycle can be initiated. The OE control signal should be kept inactive (high) during
write cycles to avoid bus contention. However, if the output bus has been enabled ( CE and OE active)
then WE will disable the outputs to tODW from its falling edge.
DATA RETENTION MODE
The DS2227 provides fully functional capability for VCC greater than 4.5 volts and guarantees write
protection for VCC less than 4.25 volts. Data is maintained in the absence of VCC without any additional
support circuitry. The DS2227 constantly monitors VCC. Should the supply voltage decay, the NV
SRAM automatically write-protects itself, all inputs become “don’t care” and all outputs become high
impedance. As VCC falls below approximately 3.0 volts, a power switching circuit connects a lithium
energy source to RAM to retain data. During power-up, when VCC rises above approximately 3.0 volts,
the power switching circuit connects the external VCC to RAM and disconnects the lithium energy source.
Normal RAM operation can resume after VCC exceeds 4.5 volts.
The DS2227 checks lithium status to warn of potential data loss. Each time that VCC power is restored to
the DS2227, the battery voltage is checked with a precision comparator. If the battery supply is less than
2.0 volts, the second memory access to the device is inhibited. Battery status can, therefore, be
determined by a three-step process. First, a read cycle is performed to any location in memory, in order to
save the contents of that location. A subsequent write cycle can then be executed to the same memory
location, altering data. If the next read cycle fails to verify the written data, then the battery voltage is less
than 2.0V and data is in danger of being corrupted.
The DS2227 also provides battery redundancy. In many applications data integrity is paramount. The
DS2227 provides two batteries for each SRAM and an internal isolation switch to select between them.
During battery backup, the battery with the highest voltage is selected for use. If one battery fails, the
other automatically takes over. The switch between batteries is transparent to the user.

NOTES:
1.
WE
is high for a read cycle.
2.
OE = VIH or VIL. If OE = VIH during write cycle, the output buffers remain in a high impedance
state.
3.
tWP is specified as the logical AND of CE and WE .
4.
tDH, tDS are measured from the earlier of CE or WE going high.
5.
tDH is measured from WE going high. If CE is used to terminate the write cycle then tDH = 20 ns.
6.
If the CE low transition occurs simultaneously with or later than the WE low transition, the
output buffers remain in a high impedance state in this period.
7.
If the CE high transition occurs prior to or simultaneously with the WE high transition, the output
buffers remain in a high impedance state in this period.
8.
If the WE is low or the WE low transition occurs prior to or simultaneously with the CE low
transition, the output buffers remain in a high impedance state in this period.
9.
Each DS2227 is marked with a 4-digit date code AABB. AA designates the year of manufacture.
BB designates the week of manufacture. The minimum expected tDR is defined as starting at the
date of manufacture.
10.
Timings are valid only when CE is tied low.
