DESCRIPTION
PRELIMINARY
The Simtek STK1744
DIP
module houses 256Kb of
nonvolatile static
RAM
, a real-time clock (
RTC
) with
crystal and a high-value capacitor to support sys-
tems that require high reliability and ease of manu-
facturing.
READ
and
WRITE
access to all
RTC
functions and the memory is the same as a conven-
tional x 8
SRAM
. The highest eight addresses of the
RAM
support clock registers for centuries, years,
months, dates, days, hours, minutes and seconds.
Independent data resides in the integral Nonvolatile
Elements at all times. Automatic
RECALL
on power
up transfers the Nonvolatile Elements data to the
SRAM
, while an automatic
STORE
on power down
transfers
SRAM
data to the Nonvolatile Elements. A
software
RECALL
and
STORE
are also possible on
user command.
nvTime鈩?/div>
allows unlimited
READ
and
WRITE
accesses to
SRAM
, unlimited
