The
碌
Port Saver memories need no serial ports or spe-
cial hardware and connect to the processor memory bus.
Replacing bytewide data memory, the
碌
Port Saver uses
bytewide memory control functions, takes a fraction of
the board space and consumes much less power.
Replacing serial memories, the
碌
Port Saver provides all
the serial bene鏗乼s, such as low cost, low power, low volt-
age, and small package size while releasing I/Os for
more important uses.
The
碌
Port Saver memory outputs data within 25ns of an
active read signal. This is less than the read access time
of most hosts and provides 鈥渘o-wait-state鈥?operation.
This prevents bottlenecks on the bus. With rates to 10
MHz, the
碌
Port Saver supplies data faster than required
by most host read cycle speci鏗乧ations. This eliminates
the need for software NOPs.
The
碌
Port Saver memories communicate over one line of
the data bus using a sequence of standard bus read and
write operations. This 鈥渂it serial鈥?interface allows the
碌
Port Saver to work well in 8-bit, 16 bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit
systems.
A Write Protect (WP) pin prevents inadvertent writes to
the memory.
Xicor EEPROMs are designed and tested for applica-
tions requiring extended endurance. Inherent data reten-
tion is greater than 100 years.
