DESCRIPTION
The CAT22C10 NVRAM is a 256-bit nonvolatile memory
organized as 64 words x 4 bits. The high speed Static
RAM array is bit for bit backed up by a nonvolatile
EEPROM array which allows for easy transfer of data
from RAM array to EEPROM (STORE) and from
EEPROM to RAM (RECALL). STORE operations are
completed in 10ms max. and RECALL operations typi-
cally within 1.5µs. The CAT22C10 features unlimited
RAM write operations either through external RAM

The CAT22C10 is manufactured using Catalyst’s ad-
vanced CMOS floating gate technology. It is designed
to endure 100,000 program/erase cycles (EEPROM)
and has a data retention of 10 years. The device is

DEVICE OPERATION
The configuration of the CAT22C10 allows a common
address bus to be directly connected to the address
inputs. Additionally, the Input/Output (I/O) pins can be
directly connected to a common I/O bus if the bus has
less than 1 TTL load and 100pF capacitance. If not, the
I/O path should be buffered.
When the chip select (CS) pin goes low, the device is
activated. When CS is forced high, the device goes into
the standby mode and consumes very little current. With
the nonvolatile functions inhibited, the device operates
like a Static RAM. The Write Enable (WE) pin selects a
write operation when WE is low and a read operation
when WE is high. In either of these modes, an array byte
(4 bits) can be addressed uniquely by using the address
lines (A0–A5), and that byte will be read or written to
through the Input/Output pins (I/O0–I/O3).
The nonvolatile functions are inhibited by holding the
STORE input and the RECALL input high. When the
RECALL input is taken low, it initiates a recall operation
which transfers the contents of the entire EEPROM
array into the Static RAM. When the STORE input is
taken low, it initiates a store operation which transfers
the entire Static RAM array contents into the EEPROM
array.
Standby Mode
The chip select (CS) input controls all of the functions of
the CAT22C10. When a high level is supplied to the CS
pin, the device goes into the standby mode where the
outputs are put into a high impendance state and the
power consumption is drastically reduced. With ISB less
than 100µA in standby mode, the designer has the
flexibility to use this part in battery operated systems.
Read
When the chip is enabled (CS = low), the nonvolatile
functions are inhibited (STORE = high and RECALL =
high). With the Write Enable (WE) pin held high, the data
in the Static RAM array may be accessed by selecting an
address with input pins A0–A5. This will occur when the
outputs are connected to a bus which is loaded by no
more than 100pF and 1 TTL gate. If the loading is greater
than this, some additional buffering circuitry is recom-

mended.
Write
With the chip enabled and the nonvolatile functions
inhibited, the Write Enable (WE) pin will select the write
mode when driven to a low level. In this mode, the
address must be supplied for the byte being written.
After the set-up time (tAS), the input data must be

supplied to pins I/O0–I/O3. When these conditions, in-
cluding the write pulse width time (tWP) are met, the data
will be written to the specified location in the Static RAM.
A write function may also be initiated from the standby
mode by driving WE low, inhibiting the nonvolatile func-
tions, supplying valid addresses, and then taking CS low
and supplying input data.

Recall
At anytime, except during a store operation, taking the
RECALL pin low will initiate a recall operation. This is
independent of the state of CS, WE, or A0–A5. After the
RECALL pin has been held low for the duration of the
Recall Pulse Width (tRCP), the recall will continue inde-
pendent of any other inputs. During the recall, the entire
contents of the EEPROM array is transferred to the
Static RAM array. The first byte of data may be externally
accessed after the recalled data access time from end of
recall (tARC) is met. After this, any other byte may be
accessed by using the normal read mode.
If the RECALL pin is held low for the entire Recall Cycle
time (tRCC), the contents of the Static RAM may be
immediately accessed by using the normal read mode.
A recall operation can be performed an unlimited num-
ber of times without affecting the integrity of the data.
The outputs I/O0–I/O3 will go into the high impedance
state as long as the RECALL signal is held low.
Store
At any time, except during a recall operation, taking the
STORE pin low will initiate a store operation. This takes
place independent of the state of CS, WE or A0–A5. The
STORE pin must be held low for the duration of the Store
Pulse Width (tSTP) to ensure that a store operation is
initiated. Once initiated, the STORE pin becomes a
“Don’t Care”, and the store operation will complete its
transfer of the entire contents of the Static RAM array
into the EEPROM array within the Store Cycle time
(tSTC). If a store operation is initiated during a write cycle,
the contents of the addressed Static RAM byte and its
corresponding byte in the EEPROM array will be un-
known.
During the store operation, the outputs are in a high
impedance state. A minimum of 100,000 store opera-
tions can be performed reliably and the data written into
the EEPROM array has a minimum data retention time
of 10 years.
DATA PROTECTION DURING POWER-UP AND
POWER-DOWN
The CAT22C10 has on-chip circuitry which will prevent
a store operation from occurring when VCC falls below
3.0V typ. This function eliminates the potential hazard of
spurious signals initiating a store operation when the
system power is below 3.0V typ.
