DS1220AB/AD
READ MODE
The DS1220AB and DS1220AD execut e a read c ycle whenev er
(Wr it e E nable) is inact ive (h igh) and
(Chip Enable) and
(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. Valid data will be
available to the eight data output drivers within tACC (Access Time) after the last address input signal is
stable, providing that the
and
access t imes are also satisfied. If
and
access times are not
satisfied, then data access must be measured fro m the lat er-o c cu rr ing s ig na l a nd t he li miting pa r a mete r is

WRITE MODE
The DS1220AB and DS1220AD execut e a writ e cycle whenever t he
and
signals are act ive (low)
after address inputs are stable. The latter occurring falling edge of

time (tWR ) before another cycle can be initiated. The
control signal should be kept inactive (high)
during write cycles to avoid bus contention. However, if the output drivers are enabled (

DATA RETENTION MODE
The DS1220AB provides full functional capability for VCC greater than 4.75 volts and write protects by
4.5V. T he DS1220AD provides full functional capability for VCC greater than 4.5 volt s a nd write pr ot ect s
by 4.25V. Data is maintained in the absence of VCC without any additional support circuitry. The
nonvolatile static RAMs constantly monitor VCC. Should the supply voltage decay, the NV SRAMs
automatically write protect themselves, all inputs become “don’t care,” and all outputs become high
impedance. 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 disconnects the lithium energy source.
No rmal RAM op erat ion can re sume a fter VCC exceeds 4.75 volts for the DS1220AB and 4.5 vo lt s fo r the
DS1220AD.
FRESH NESS SEAL
Each DS1220 device is shipped fro m Dallas Semiconductor with its lit hium energy source disconnected,
guaranteeing full energy capacity. When VCC is first applied at a level of greater than VTP, the lithium
energy so ur ce is ena bled for batt er y backup o per at io n.
