Features
Description
The U635H256 has two separate
modes of operation: SRAM mode
and nonvolatile mode. In SRAM
mode, the memory operates as an
ordinary static RAM. In nonvolatile
operation, data is transferred in
parallel from SRAM to EEPROM or
from EEPROM to SRAM. In this
mode SRAM functions are disab-
led.
The U635H256 is a fast static RAM
(25, 35, 45 ns), with a nonvolatile
electrically
erasable
PROM
(EEPROM) element incorporated
in each static memory cell. The
SRAM can be read and written an
unlimited number of times, while
independent nonvolatile data resi-
des in EEPROM. Data transfers
from the SRAM to the EEPROM
(the STORE operation) take place
automatically upon power down
using charge stored in system
capacitance. Transfers from the
EEPROM to the SRAM (the
RECALL operation) take place
automatically on power up. The
U635H256 combines the high per-
formance and ease of use of a fast
SRAM with nonvolatile data inte-
grity.
STORE cycles also may be initiated
under user control via a software
sequence.
Once a STORE cycle is initiated,
further input or output are disabled
until the cycle is completed.
Because a sequence of 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.
RECALL cycles may also be initia-
ted by a software sequence.
Internally, RECALL is a two step
procedure. First, the SRAM data is
cleared and second, the nonvolatile
information is transferred into the
SRAM cells.
The RECALL operation in no way
alters the data in the EEPROM
cells. The nonvolatile data can be
recalled an unlimited number of
times.
The U635H256 is pin compatible
with standard SRAMs.

Characteristics
All voltages are referenced to V
SS
= 0 V (ground).
All characteristics are valid in the power supply voltage range and in the operating temperature range specified.
Dynamic measurements are based on a rise and fall time of
≤
5 ns, measured between 10 % and 90 % of V
I
, as well as
input levels of V
IL
= 0 V and V
IH
= 3 V. The timing reference level of all input and output signals is 1.5 V,
with the exception of the t
dis
-times and t
en
-times, in which cases transition is measured
±
200 mV from steady-state voltage.

Stresses greater than those listed under „Absolute Maximum Ratings“ may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only, and functional operation of the device at condition above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is
not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect reliability.
