PowerStore 32K x 8 nvSRAM
Features
Description
! High-performance CMOS non-
The U634H256 has two separate
modes of operation: SRAM mode
and nonvolatile mode. In SRAM
mode, the memory operates as an
ordinary static RAM. In nonvolatile
operation, data is transferred in
parallel from SRAM to EEPROM or
from EEPROM to SRAM. In this
mode SRAM functions are disabled.
The U634H256 is a fast static RAM
(25, 35, 45 ns), with a nonvolatile
electrically
erasable
PROM
(EEPROM) element incorporated
in each static memory cell. The
SRAM can be read and written an
unlimited number of times, while
independent nonvolatile data resides in EEPROM. Data transfers
from the SRAM to the EEPROM
(the STORE operation) take place
automatically upon power down
using charge stored in an external
100 µF capacitor.
Transfers from the EEPROM to the
SRAM (the RECALL operation)
take place automatically on power
up.
The U634H256 combines the high
performance and ease of use of a
fast SRAM with nonvolatile data
integrity.

STORE cycles also may be initiated under user control via a software sequence or via a single pin
(HSB).
Once a STORE cycle is initiated,
further input or output are disabled
until the cycle is completed.
Because a sequence of addresses
is used for STORE initiation, it is
important that no other read or
write accesses intervene in the
sequence or the sequence will be
aborted.
RECALL cycles may also be initiated by a software sequence.
Internally, RECALL is a two step
procedure. First, the SRAM data is
cleared and second, the nonvolatile information is transferred into
the SRAM cells.
The RECALL operation in no way
alters the data in the EEPROM
cells. The nonvolatile data can be
recalled an unlimited number of
times.

Characteristics
All voltages are referenced to V SS = 0 V (ground).
All characteristics are valid in the power supply voltage range and in the operating temperature range specified.
Dynamic measurements are based on a rise and fall time of ≤ 5 ns, measured between 10 % and 90 % of VI, as well as
input levels of VIL = 0 V and VIH = 3 V. The timing reference level of all input and output signals is 1.5 V,
with the exception of the tdis-times and ten-times, in which cases transition is measured ± 200 mV from steady-state voltage.

The six consecutive addresses must be in order listed (0E38, 31C7, 03E0, 3C1F, 303F, 0FC0) for a Store cycle or (0E38, 31C7, 03E0, 3C1F,
303F, 0C63) for a RECALL cycle. W must be high during all six consecutive cycles. See STORE cycle and RECALL cycle tables and dia
grams for further details.
The following six-address sequence is used for testing purposes and should not be used: 0E38, 31C7, 03E0, 3C1F, 303F, 339C.
l: I/O state assumes that G ≤ VIL. Activation of nonvolatile cycles does not depend on the state of G.
m: HSB initiated STORE operation actually occurs only if a WRITE has been done since last STORE operation. After the STORE (if any)
completes, the part will go into standby mode inhibiting all operation until HSB rises.

U634H256
Device Operation
The U634H256 has two separate modes of operation:
SRAM mode and nonvolatile mode. The memory operates In SRAM mode as a standard fast static RAM.
Data is transferred in nonvolatile mode from SRAM to
EEPROM (the STORE operation) or from EEPROM to
SRAM (the RECALL operation). In this mode SRAM
functions are disabled.
STORE cycles may be initiated under user control via a
software sequence or HSB assertion and are also automatically initiated when the power supply voltage level
of the chip falls below VSWITCH. RECALL operations are
automatically initiated upon power up and may also
occur when the VCCX rises above VSWITCH , after a low
power condition. RECALL cycles may also be initiated
by a software sequence.
SRAM READ
The U634H256 performs a READ cycle whenever E
and G are LOW and HSB and W are HIGH. The
address specified on pins A0 - A14 determines which of
the 32768 data bytes will be accessed. When the
READ is initiated by an address transition, the outputs
will be valid after a delay of tcR. If the READ is initiated
by E or G, the outputs will be valid at ta(E) or at ta(G),
whichever is later. The data outputs will repeatedly
respond to address changes within the tcR access time
without the need for transition on any control input pins,
and will remain valid until another address change or
until E or G is brought HIGH or W or HSB is brought
LOW.
and initiate a STORE operation.
Figure 1 shows the proper connection of capacitors for
automatic STORE operation. The charge storage capacitor should have a capacity of 100 µF (± 20 %) at 6 V.
Each U634H256 must have its own 100 µF capacitor.
Each U634H256 must have a high quality, high frequency bypass capacitor of 0.1 µF connected between
VCAP and VSS, using leads and traces that are short as
possible. This capacitor do not replace the normal
expected high frequency bypass capacitor between the
power supply voltage and VSS.
In order to prevent unneeded STORE operations, automatic STOREs as well as those initiated by externally
driving HSB LOW will be ignored unless at least one
WRITE operation has taken place since the most
recent STORE cycle. Note that if HSB is driven LOW
via external circuitry and no WRITES have taken place,
the part will still be disabled until HSB is allowed to
return HIGH. Software initiated STORE cycles are performed regardless of whether or not a WRITE operation has taken place.
Automatic RECALL
During power up, an automatic RECALL takes place. At
a low power condition (power supply voltage < VSWITCH)
an internal RECALL request may be latched. As soon
as power supply voltage exceeds the sense voltage of
VSWITCH, a requested RECALL cycle will automatically
be initiated and will take tRESTORE to complete.
If the U634H256 is in a WRITE state at the end of
power up RECALL, the SRAM data will be corrupted.
To help avoid this situation, a 10 kΩ resistor should be
connected between W and power supply voltage.
SRAM WRITE
Software Nonvolatile STORE
A WRITE cycle is performed whenever E and W are
LOW and HSB is HIGH. The address inputs must be
stable prior to entering the WRITE cycle and must
remain stable until either E or W goes HIGH at the end
of the cycle. The data on pins DQ0 - 7 will be written
into the memory if it is valid tsu(D) before the end of a W
controlled WRITE or tsu(D) before the end of an E controlled WRITE.
It is recommended that G is kept HIGH during the
entire WRITE cycle to avoid data bus contention on the
common I/O lines. If G is left LOW, internal circuitry will
turn off the output buffers tdis(W) after W goes LOW.
Automatic STORE
During normal operation, the U634H256 will draw current from VCCX to charge up a capacitor connected to
the VCAP pin. This stored charge will be used by the
chip to perform a single STORE operation. If the
voltage on the VCCX pin drops below VSWITCH , the part
will automatically disconnect the VCAP pin from VCCX

The U634H256 software controlled STORE cycle is
initiated by executing sequential READ cycles from six
specific address locations. By relying on READ cycles
only, the U634H256 implements nonvolatile operation
while remaining compatible with standard 32K x 8
SRAMs. During the STORE cycle, an erase of the previous nonvolatile data is performed first, followed by a
parallel programming of all nonvolatile elements. Once
a STORE cycle is initiated, further inputs and outputs
are disabled until the cycle is completed.
Because a sequence of addresses is used for STORE
initiation, it is important that no other READ or WRITE
accesses intervene in the sequence or the sequence
will be aborted.
To initiate the STORE cycle the following READ
sequence must be performed:

Once the sixth address in the sequence has been
entered, the STORE cycle will commence and the chip
will be disabled. It is important that READ cycles and
not WRITE cycles are used in the sequence, although it
is not necessary that G is LOW for the sequence to be
valid. After the tSTORE cycle time has been fulfilled, the
SRAM will again be activated for READ and WRITE
operation.
Software Nonvolatile RECALL
A RECALL cycle of the EEPROM data into the SRAM
is initiated with a sequence of READ operations in a
manner similar to the STORE initiation. To initiate the
RECALL cycle the following sequence of READ operations must be performed:
1.
2.

Initiate RECALL
Internally, RECALL is a two step procedure. First, the
SRAM data is cleared and second, the nonvolatile
information is transferred into the SRAM cells. The
RECALL operation in no way alters the data in the
EEPROM cells. The nonvolatile data can be recalled an
unlimited number of times.
HSB Nonvolatile STORE
The hardware controlled STORE Busy pin (HSB) is
connected to an open drain circuit acting as both input
and output to perform two different functions. When
driven LOW by the internal chip circuitry it indicates that
a STORE operation (initiated via any means) is in progress within the chip. When driven LOW by external circuitry for longer than tw(H)S, the chip will conditionally
initiate a STORE operation after tdis(H)S.
READ and WRITE operations that are in progress
when HSB is driven LOW (either by internal or external
circuitry) will be allowed to complete before the STORE
operation is performed, in the following manner.
After HSB goes LOW, the part will continue normal
SRAM operation for tdis(H)S. During tdis(H)S, a transition
on any address or control signal will terminate SRAM
operation and cause the STORE to commence.
Note that if an SRAM WRITE is attempted after HSB
has been forced LOW, the WRITE will not occur and
the STORE operation will begin immediately.
HARDWARE-STORE-BUSY (HSB) is a high speed,
low drive capability bidirectional control line.
In order to allow a bank of U634H256s to perform synchronized STORE functions, the HSB pin from a number of chips may be connected together. Each chip
contains a small internal current source to pull HSB
HIGH when it is not being driven LOW. To decrease the
sensitivity of this signal to noise generated on the PC
board, it may optionally be pulled to power supply via
an external resistor with a value such that the combined load of the resistor and all parallel chip connections
does not exceed IHSBOL at VOL (see Figure 1 and 2).
Only if HSB is to be connected to external circuits, an
external pull-up resistor should be used.
During any STORE operation, regardless of how it was
initiated, the U634H256 will continue to drive the HSB
pin LOW, releasing it only when the STORE is complete.
Upon completion of a STORE operation, the part will be
disabled until HSB actually goes HIGH.
Hardware Protection
The U634H256 offers hardware protection against
inadvertent STORE operation during low voltage conditions. When VCAP < VSWITCH, all software or HSB initiated STORE operations will be inhibited.
Preventing Automatic STORES
The PowerStore function can be disabled on the fly by
holding HSB HIGH with a driver capable of sourcing
15 mA at V OH of at least 2.2 V as it will have to overpower the internal pull-down device that drives HSB LOW
for 50 ns at the onset of a PowerStore.
When the U634H256 is connected for PowerStore operation (see Figure 1) and VCCX crosses VSWITCH on the
way down, the U634H256 will attempt to pull HSB
LOW; if HSB doesn′t actually get below VIL, the part will
stop trying to pull HSB LOW and abort the PowerStore
attempt.
Disabling Automatic STORES
If the PowerStore function is not required, then V CAP
should be tied directly to the power supply and VCCX
should by tied to ground. In this mode, STORE operation may be triggered through software control or the
HSB pin. In either event, VCAP (Pin 1) must always
have a proper bypass capacitor connected to it (Figure
2).

Low Average Active Power
The U634H256 has been designed to draw significantly
less power when E is LOW (chip enabled) but the
access cycle time is longer than 55 ns.
When E is HIGH the chip consumes only standby current.
The overall average current drawn by the part depends
on the following items:
1. CMOS or TTL input levels
2. the time during which the chip is disabled (E HIGH)
3. the cycle time for accesses (E LOW)
4. the ratio of READs to WRITEs
5. the operating temperature
6. the power supply voltage level
