DESCRIPTION
The Simtek STK14C88 is a fast static RAM with a
nonvolatile, electrically erasable PROM element
incorporated in each static memory cell. The SRAM
can be read and written an unlimited number of
times, while independent, nonvolatile data resides in
EEPROM. Data transfers from the SRAM to the
EEPROM (the STORE operation) can take place
automatically on power down. A 68µF or larger
capacitor tied from VCAP to ground guarantees the
STORE operation, regardless of power-down slew
rate or loss of power from “hot swapping”. Transfers
from the EEPROM to the SRAM (the RECALL opera-
tion) take place automatically on restoration of
power. Initiation of STORE and RECALL cycles can
also be software controlled by entering specific read
sequences. A hardware STORE may be initiated with
the HSB pin.
