The Simtek STK12C68 is a fast static RAM with a
nonvolatile 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 Nonvolatile Elements. Data
transfers from the SRAM to the Nonvolatile Elements
(the STORE operation) can take place automatically
on power down. A 68µF or larger capacitor tied from
VCAP to ground guarantees the STORE operation,
regardless of power-down slew rate or loss of power
from “hot swapping”. Transfers from the Nonvolatile
Elements to the SRAM (the RECALL operation) take
place automatically on restoration of power. Initiation of STORE and RECALL cycles can also be software controlled by entering specific read
sequences. A hardware STORE may be initiated with
the HSB pin.

STK12C68
DEVICE OPERATION
POWER-UP RECALL
The STK12C68 has two separate modes of operation: SRAM mode and nonvolatile mode. In SRAM
mode, the memory operates as a standard fast
static RAM. In nonvolatile mode, data is transferred
from SRAM to Nonvolatile Elements (the STORE
operation) or from Nonvolatile Elements to SRAM
(the RECALL operation). In this mode SRAM functions are disabled.
During power up, or after any low-power condition
(VCAP < VRESET), an internal RECALL request will be
latched. When VCAP once again exceeds the sense
voltage of VSWITCH, a RECALL cycle will automatically
be initiated and will take tRESTORE to complete.
If the STK12C68 is in a WRITE state at the end of
power-up RECALL, the SRAM data will be corrupted.
To help avoid this situation, a 10K Ohm resistor
should be connected either between W and system
VCC or between E and system VCC.
NOISE CONSIDERATIONS
The STK12C68 is a high-speed memory and so
must have a high-frequency bypass capacitor of
approximately 0.1µF connected between VCAP and
VSS, using leads and traces that are as short as possible. As with all high-speed CMOS ICs, normal careful routing of power, ground and signals will help
prevent noise problems.
SOFTWARE NONVOLATILE STORE
The STK12C68 software STORE cycle is initiated by
executing sequential E controlled READ cycles from
six specific address locations. During the STORE
cycle an erase of the previous nonvolatile data is
first performed, followed by a program of the nonvolatile elements. The program operation copies the
SRAM data into nonvolatile memory. Once a STORE
cycle is initiated, further input and output are disabled until the cycle is completed.
SRAM READ
The STK12C68 performs a READ cycle whenever E
and G are low and W and HSB are high. The
address specified on pins A0-12 determines which of
the 8,192 data bytes will be accessed. When the
READ is initiated by an address transition, the outputs will be valid after a delay of tAVQV (READ cycle
#1). If the READ is initiated by E or G, the outputs will
be valid at tELQV or at tGLQV, whichever is later (READ
cycle #2). The data outputs will repeatedly respond
to address changes within the tAVQV access time without the need for transitions 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.
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 will be
aborted and no STORE or RECALL will take place.
To initiate the software STORE cycle, the following
READ sequence must be performed:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
SRAM WRITE
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 the common I/O pins
DQ0-7 will be written into the memory if it is valid tDVWH
before the end of a W controlled WRITE or tDVEH
before the end of an E controlled WRITE.

Initiate STORE cycle
The software sequence must be clocked with E controlled READs.
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 be used in the sequence,
although it is not necessary that G be 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.
It is recommended that G be kept high during the
entire WRITE cycle to avoid data bus contention on
common I/O lines. If G is left low, internal circuitry
will turn off the output buffers tWLQZ after W goes low.

SOFTWARE NONVOLATILE RECALL
Figure 2 shows the proper connection of capacitors
for automatic store operation. A charge storage
capacitor having a capacity of between 68µF and
220µF (± 20%) rated at 6V should be provided.
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 E controlled READ operations must be performed:
Valid READ
Valid READ
Valid READ
Valid READ
Valid READ
Initiate RECALL cycle
If an automatic STORE on power loss is not required,
then VCCX can be tied to ground and + 5V applied to
VCAP (Figure 4). This is the AutoStore™ Inhibit
mode, in which the AutoStore™ function is disabled.
If the STK12C68 is operated in this configuration,
references to VCCX should be changed to VCAP
throughout this data sheet. In this mode, STORE
operations may be triggered through software control or the HSB pin. It is not permissable to change
between these three options “on the fly”.
Internally, RECALL is a two-step procedure. First, the
SRAM data is cleared, and second, the nonvolatile
information is transferred into the SRAM cells. After
the tRECALL cycle time the SRAM will once again be
ready for READ and WRITE operations. The RECALL
operation in no way alters the data in the Nonvolatile
Elements. The nonvolatile data can be recalled an
unlimited number of times.
AutoStore™ OPERATION
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 or RECALL cycle. Softwareinitiated STORE cycles are performed regardless of
whether a WRITE operation has taken place. An
optional pull-up resistor is shown connected to HSB.
This can be used to signal the system that the
AutoStore™ cycle is in progress.

During normal AutoStore™ operation, the
STK12C68 will draw current from VCCX to charge a
capacitor connected to the VCAP pin. This stored
charge will be used by the chip to perform a single
STORE operation. After power up, when the voltage
on the VCAP pin drops below VSWITCH, the part will
automatically disconnect the VCAP pin from VCCX and
initiate a STORE operation.

In system power mode (Figure 3), both VCCX and
VCAP are connected to the + 5V power supply without
the 68µF capacitor. In this mode the AutoStore™
function of the STK12C68 will operate on the stored
system charge as power goes down. The user must,
however, guarantee that VCCX does not drop below
3.6V during the 10ms STORE cycle.

STK12C68
HSB OPERATION
PREVENTING STORES
The STK12C68 provides the HSB pin for controlling
and acknowledging the STORE operations. The HSB
pin is used to request a hardware STORE cycle.
When the HSB pin is driven low, the STK12C68 will
conditionally initiate a STORE operation after tDELAY;
an actual STORE cycle will only begin if a WRITE to
the SRAM took place since the last STORE or
RECALL cycle. The HSB pin acts as an open drain
driver that is internally driven low to indicate a busy
condition while the STORE (initiated by any means)
is in progress.
The STORE function can be disabled on the fly by
holding HSB high with a driver capable of sourcing
30mA at a VOH of at least 2.2V, as it will have to
overpower the internal pull-down device that drives
HSB low for 20µs at the onset of a STORE. When
the STK12C68 is connected for AutoStore™ operation (system VCC connected to VCCX and a 68µF
capacitor on VCAP) and VCC crosses VSWITCH on the
way down, the STK12C68 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 STORE
attempt.
SRAM READ and WRITE operations that are in
progress when HSB is driven low by any means are
given time to complete before the STORE operation
is initiated. After HSB goes low, the STK12C68 will
continue SRAM operations for tDELAY. During tDELAY,
multiple SRAM READ operations may take place. If a
WRITE is in progress when HSB is pulled low it will
be allowed a time, tDELAY, to complete. However, any
SRAM WRITE cycles requested after HSB goes low
will be inhibited until HSB returns high.
HARDWARE PROTECT
The STK12C68 offers hardware protection against
inadvertent STORE operation and SRAM WRITEs during low-voltage conditions. When VCAP < VSWITCH, all
externally initiated STORE operations and SRAM
WRITEs are inhibited.
AutoStore™ can be completely disabled by tying
VCCX to ground and applying + 5V to VCAP . This is the
AutoStore™ Inhibit mode; in this mode, STOREs are
only initiated by explicit request using either the software sequence or the HSB pin.
The HSB pin can be used to synchronize multiple
STK12C68s while using a single larger capacitor. To
operate in this mode the HSB pin should be connected together to the HSB pins from the other
STK12C68s. An external pull-up resistor to + 5V is
required since HSB acts as an open drain pull down.
The VCAP pins from the other STK12C68 parts can
be tied together and share a single capacitor. The
capacitor size must be scaled by the number of
devices connected to it. When any one of the
STK12C68s detects a power loss and asserts HSB,
the common HSB pin will cause all parts to request
a STORE cycle (a STORE will take place in those
STK12C68s that have been written since the last
nonvolatile cycle).
LOW AVERAGE ACTIVE POWER
The STK12C68 draws significantly less current
when it is cycled at times longer than 50ns. Figure 5
shows the relationship between ICC and READ cycle
time. Worst-case current consumption is shown for
both CMOS and TTL input levels (commercial temperature range, VCC = 5.5V, 100% duty cycle on chip
enable). Figure 6 shows the same relationship for
WRITE cycles. If the chip enable duty cycle is less
than 100%, only standby current is drawn when the
chip is disabled. The overall average current drawn
by the STK12C68 depends on the following items:
1) CMOS vs. TTL input levels; 2) the duty cycle of
chip enable; 3) the overall cycle rate for accesses;
4) the ratio of READs to WRITEs; 5) the operating
temperature; 6) the Vcc level; and 7) I/O loading.
During any STORE operation, regardless of how it
was initiated, the STK12C68 will continue to drive
the HSB pin low, releasing it only when the STORE is
complete. Upon completion of the STORE operation
the STK12C68 will remain disabled until the HSB
pin returns high.
If HSB is not used, it should be left unconnected.
