General Description
The CMOS bq4014 is a nonvolatile
2,097,152-bit static RAM organized as
262,144 words by 8 bits. The integral
control circuitry and lithium energy
source provide reliable nonvolatility
coupled with the unlimited write
cycles of standard SRAM.
The control circuitry constantly
monitors the single 5V supply for an
out-of-tolerance condition. When
V
CC
falls out of tolerance, the SRAM
is unconditionally write-protected to
prevent inadvertent write operation.
At this time the integral energy
source is switched on to sustain the
memory until after V
CC
returns
valid.
The bq4014 uses extremely low
standby current CMOS SRAMs,
coupled with small lithium coin
cells to provide nonvolatility without
long write-cycle times and the write-
cycle limitations associated with
EEPROM.
The bq4014 requires no external cir-
cuitry and is compatible with the
industry-standard 2Mb SRAM
pinout.
