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.

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. 0000 (hex) 1555 (hex) 0AAA (hex) 1FFF (hex) 10F0 (hex) 0F0F (hex) Valid READ Valid READ Valid READ Valid READ Valid READ 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.

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. 1 28 10kΩ 10kΩ∗ 10kΩ 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. 1 28 27 10kΩ The STK12C68 can be powered in one of three modes. 1 28 27 27 26 26 10kΩ∗ 0000 (hex) 1555 (hex) 0AAA (hex) 1FFF (hex) 10F0 (hex) 0F0E (hex) 0.1µF Bypass Read address Read address Read address Read address Read address Read address 10kΩ∗ 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

October 2003 9 Document Control # ML0008 rev 0.4 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.
