General Description
The CMOS bq4016 is a nonvolatile
8,388,608-bit static RAM organized
as 1,048,576 words by 8 bits. The in-
tegral control circuitry and lithium
energy source provide reliable non-
volatility 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 an inadver tent w rite
operation.
At this time the integral energy
source is switched on to sustain the
memory until after V
CC
returns
valid.
The bq4016 uses extremely low
standby current CMOS SRAMs,
coupled with a small lithium coin
cell to provide nonvolatility without
long write-cycle times and the write-
cycle limitations associated with
EEPROM.
The bq4016 has the same interface
as industry-standard SRAMs and re-
quires no external circuitry.
