DESCRIPTION
The STK15C68 is a fast
SRAM
with a nonvolatile ele-
ment 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 using charge
stored in system capacitance. Transfers from the Non-
volatile Elements to the
SRAM
(the
RECALL
operation)
take place automatically on restoration of power. Initia-
tion of
STORE
and
RECALL
cycles can also be con-
trolled by entering control sequences on the
SRAM
inputs. The STK15C68 is pin-compatible with 8k x 8
SRAM
s and battery-backed
SRAM
s, allowing direct
substitution while enhancing performance. A similar
device (STK16C68) with an internally integrated
capacitor is available for systems with very fast slew
rates. The STK12C68, which uses an external capaci-
tor, is an alternative for these applications.
