DESCRIPTION
The DS1220Y 16K Nonvolatile SRAM is a 16,384-bit,
fully static, nonvolatile RAM organized as 2048 words
by 8 bits. Each NV SRAM has a self-contained lithium
energy source and control circuitry which constantly
monitors VCC for an out-of-tolerance condition. When
such a condition occurs, the lithium energy source is
automatically switched on and write protection is uncon-
ditionally enabled to prevent data corruption. The NV
SRAM can be used in place of existing 2K x 8 SRAMs
directly conforming to the popular bytewide 24-pin DIP
standard. The DS1220Y also matches the pinout of the
2716 EPROM or the 2816 EEPROM, allowing direct
substitution while enhancing performance. There is no
limit on the number of write cycles that can be executed
and no additional support circuitry is required for micro-
processor interfacing.

READ MODE
The DS1220Y executes a read cycle whenever WE
(Write Enable) is inactive (high) and CE (Chip Enable)
and OE (Output Enable) are active (low). The unique
address specified by the 11 address inputs (A0-A10)
defines which of the 2048 bytes of data is to be
accessed. V alid data will be available to the eight data
output drivers within tACC (Access Time) after the last
address input signal is stable, providing that CE and OE
access times are also satisfied. If OE and CE access
times are not satisfied, then data access must be
measured from the later occurring signal (CE or OE)
and the limiting parameter is either tCO for CE or tOE for
OE rather than address access.
WRITE MODE
The DS1220Y executes a write cycle whenever the WE
and CE signals are active (low) after address inputs are
stable. The latter occurring falling edge of CE or WE will
determine the start of the write cycle. The write cycle is
terminated by the earlier rising edge of CE or WE. All
address inputs must be kept valid throughout the write
cycle. WE must return to the high state for a minimum
recovery time (tWR) before another cycle can be initi-
ated. The OE control signal should be kept inactive
(high) during write cycles to avoid bus contention. How-
ever, if the output drivers are enabled (CE and OE ac-
tive) then WE will disable the outputs in tODW from its
falling edge.
DATA RETENTION MODE
The DS1220Y provides full functional capability for VCC
greater than 4.5 volts and write protects at 4.25 nominal.
Data is maintained in the absence of VCC without any
additional support circuitry. The DS1220Y constantly
monitors VCC. Should the supply voltage decay , the NV
SRAM automatically write protects itself, all inputs be-
come “don’t care,” and all outputs become high imped-
ance. As VCC falls below approximately 3.0 volts, a
power switching circuit connects the lithium energy
source to RAM to retain data. During power-up, when
VCC rises above approximately 3.0 volts, the power
switching circuit connects external VCC to RAM and dis-
connects the lithium energy source. Normal RAM oper-
ation can resume after VCC exceeds 4.5 volts.

WARNING:
Under no circumstance are negative undershoots, of any amplitude, allowed when device is in battery backup mode.
NOTES:
1. WE is high for a read cycle.
2. OE = VIH or VIL. If OE = VIH during a write cycle, the output buffers remain in a high impedance state.
3. tWP is specified as the logical AND of CE and WE. tWP is measured from the latter of CE or WE going low to
the earlier of CE or WE going high.
4. tDS are measured from the earlier of CE or WE going high.
5. These parameters are sampled with a 5 pF load and are not 100% tested.
6. If the CE low transition occurs simultaneously with or later than the WE low transition in write cycle 1, the
output buf fers remain in a high impedance state during this period.
DS1220Y
091295 7/8
7. If the CE high transition occurs prior to or simultaneously with the WE high transition, the output buffers re-
main in a high impedance state during this period.
8. If WE is low or the WE low transition occurs prior to or simultaneously with the CE low transition, the output
buffers remain in a high impedance state during this period.
9. Each DS1220Y is marked with a 4-digit date code AABB. AA designates the year of manufacture. BB desig-
nates the week of manufacture. The expected tDR is defined as starting at the date of manufacture.
10.In a power down condition the voltage on any pin may not exceed the voltage of VCC.
11. tWR1, tDH1 are measured from WE going high.
12.tWR2, tDH2 are measured from CE going high.
13.DS1220Y modules are recongnized by Underwriters Laboratory (U.L.) under file E99151 (R).
