DESCRIPTION
The DS1221 Nonvolatile Controller x 4 Chip is a CMOS
circuit which solves the application problem of convert-
ing CMOS RAMs into nonvolatile memories. Incoming
power is monitored for an out-of-tolerance condition.
When such a condition is detected , the chip enable out-
puts are inhibited to accomplish write protection and the
battery is switched on to supply RAMs with uninter-
rupted power. An optional security code prevents unau-
thorized users from obtaining access to the memory
space. The nonvolatile controller/decoder circuitry uses
a low-leakage CMOS process which affords precise
voltage detection at extremely low battery consumption.
By combining the DS1221 with up to four CMOS memo-
ries and lithium batteries, nonvolatile operation can be
achieved.
