DESCRIPTION
The Simtek STK10C68 is a fast static
RAM
with a nonvol-
atile 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
Non-
volatile Elements
. Data may easily be transferred from
the
SRAM
to the
Nonvolatile Elements
(the
STORE
oper-
ation
), or from the
Nonvolatile Elements
to the
SRAM
(the
RECALL
operation), using the NE pin.
Transfers
from the Nonvolatile Elements to the
SRAM
(the
RECALL
operation) also take place automatically on
restoration of power.
The STK10C68 combines the high
performance and ease of use of a fast
SRAM
with nonvol-
atile data integrity.
The STK10C68 features industry-standard pinout for non-
volatile
RAM
s. MIL-STD-883 and Standard Military Draw-
ing (
SMD
#5962-93056) devices are available.
