Nonvolatile RAM Controller
The MXD1210 nonvolatile RAM controller is a very lowpower CMOS circuit that converts standard (volatile)
CMOS RAM into nonvolatile memory. It also continually
monitors the power supply to provide RAM write protection when power to the RAM is in a marginal (out-of-tolerance) condition. When the power supply begins to
fail, the RAM is write-protected, and the device switches to battery-backup mode.

Nonvolatile RAM Controller
Main Functions
The MXD1210 executes five main functions to perform
reliable RAM operation and battery backup (see the
Typical Operating Circuit and Figure 1):
1) RAM Power-Supply Switch: The switch directs
power to the RAM from the incoming supply or
from the selected battery, whichever is at the
greater voltage. The switch control uses the same
criterion to direct power to MXD1210 internal circuitry.
2) Power-Failure Detection: The write-protection
function is enabled when a power failure is
detected. The power-failure detection range
depends on the state of the TOL pin as follows:
CONDITION
VCCTP RANGE (V)
TOL = GND
4.75 to 4.50
TOL = VCCO
4.50 to 4.25
Power-failure detection is independent of the battery-backup function and precedes it sequentially
as the power-supply voltage drops during a typical power failure.
3) Write Protection: This holds the chip-enable output (CEO) to within 0.2V of VCCI or of the selected
battery, whichever is greater. If the chip-enable
input (CE) is low (active) when power failure is
detected, then CEO is held low until CE is brought
high, at which time CEO is gated high for the
duration of the power failure. The preceding
sequence completes the current RD/WR cycle,
preventing data corruption if the RAM access is a
WR cycle.
4) Battery Redundancy: A second battery is optional. When two batteries are connected, the
stronger battery is selected to provide RAM backup and to power the MXD1210. The battery-selection circuitry remains active while in the
battery-backup mode, selecting the stronger bat-
tery and isolating the weaker one. The batteryselection activity is transparent to the user and
the system. If only one battery is connected, the
second battery input should be grounded.
5) Battery-Status Warning: This notifies the system
when the stronger of the two batteries measures ≤
2.0V. Each time the MXD1210 is repowered (VCCI
> VCCTP) after detecting a power failure, the battery voltage is measured. If the battery in use is
low, following the MXD1210 recovery period, the
device issues a warning to the system by inhibiting the second memory cycle. The sequence is
as follows:
First access: read memory location n, loc(n) = x
Second access: write memory location n,
loc(n) = complement (x)
Third access: read memory location n, loc(n) = ?
If the third access (read) is complement (x), then the
battery is good; otherwise the battery is not good.
Return to loc(n) = x following the test sequence.
Freshness-Seal Mode
The freshness-seal mode relates to battery longevity
during storage rather than directly to battery backup.
This mode is activated when the first battery is connected, and is defeated when the voltage at VCCI first
exceeds VCCTP. In the freshness-seal mode, both batteries are isolated from the system; that is, no current is
drained from either battery, and the RAM is not powered by either battery. This means that batteries can be
installed and the system can be held in inventory without battery discharge. The positive edge rate at
VBATT1 and VBATT2 should exceed 0.1V/µs. The batteries will maintain their full shelf life while installed in
the system.
Battery Backup
The Typical Operating Circuit shows the MXD1210 connected to write-protect the RAM when VCC is less than
4.75V, and to provide battery backup to the supply.
