stk22c48 document number: 001-51000 rev. *e page 4 of 17 device operation the stk22c48 nvsram is made up of two functional components paired in the same physical cell. these are an sram memory cell and a nonvolatile quantumtrap cell. the sram memory cell operates as a standard fast static ram. data in the sram is transferred to the nonvolatile cell (the store operation) or from the nonvolatile cell to sram (the recall operation). this unique arch itecture enables the storage and recall of all cells in parallel. during the store and recall operations, sram read and write operations are inhibited. the stk22c48 supports unlimited re ads and writes similar to a typical sram. in addition, it provides unlimited recall operations from the nonvolatile cells and up to one million store operations. sram read the stk22c48 performs a read cycle whenever ce and oe are low while we and hsb are high. the address specified on pins a 0?10 determines the 2,048 data bytes accessed. when the read is initiated by an address transition, the outputs are valid after a delay of t aa (read cycle 1). if the read is initiated by ce or oe , the outputs are valid at t ace or at t doe , whichever is later (read cycle 2). the data outputs repeatedly respond to address changes within the t aa access time without the need for transitions on any control input pins, and remains valid until another address change or until ce or oe is brought high, or we or hsb is brought low. sram write a write cycle is performed whenever ce and we are low and hsb is high. the address inputs must be stable prior to entering the write cycle and must rema in stable until either ce or we goes high at the en d of the cycle. the dat a on the common i/o pins dq 0?7 are written into the me mory if it has valid t sd , before the end of a we controlled write or before the end of an ce controlled write. keep oe high during the entire write cycle to avoid data bus contention on common i/o lines. if oe is left low, internal circuitry turns off the output buffers t hzwe after we goes low. autostore operation during normal operation, the device draws current from v cc to charge a capacitor connected to the v cap pin. this stored charge is used by the chip to perform a single store operation. if the voltage on the v cc pin drops below v switch , the part automatically disconnects the v cap pin from v cc . a store operation is initiated with power provided by the v cap capacitor. figure 2 shows the proper connectio n of the storage capacitor (v cap ) for automatic store operation. a charge storage capacitor between 68 f and 220 f (+ 20%) rated at 6 v should be in system power mode, both v cc and v cap are connected to the +5 v power supply without the 68 ? f capacitor. in this mode, the autostore function of the stk2 2c48 operates on the stored system charge as power goes do wn. the user must, however, guarantee that v cc does not drop below 3.6 v during the 10 ms store cycle. to prevent unneeded store operations, automatic stores and those initiated by externally driving hsb low are ignored, unless at least one write operation takes place since the most recent store or recall cycle. an optional pull-up resistor is shown connected to hsb . this is used to signal the system that the autostore cycle is in progress. autostore inhibit mode if an automatic store on power loss is not required, then v cc is tied to ground and +5 v is applied to v cap ( figure 3 on page 5 ). this is the autostore inhibit mode, where the autostore function is disabled. if the stk22c48 is operated in this config- uration, references to v cc are changed to v cap throughout this data sheet. in this mode, store operations are triggered with the hsb pin. it is not permissible to change between these three options ?on the fly?. figure 2. autostore mode vcc v cap mho k01 f 86 5 %02+ ,v6 mho k01 we hsb vss f 1.0 5 ssapyb not recommended for new designs. in production to support ongoing production programs only.
stk22c48 document number: 001-51000 rev. *e page 5 of 17 figure 3. autostore inhibit mode hardware store (hsb ) operation the stk22c48 provides the hsb pin for controlling and acknowledging the store operations. the hsb pin is used to request a hardware stor e cycle. when the hsb pin is driven low, the stk22c48 conditionally initiates a store operation after t delay . an actual store cycle only begins if a write to the sram takes place since the last store or recall cycle. the hsb pin also acts as an open drain driver that is internally driven low to indicate a busy condition, while the store (initiated by any means) is in progress. pull-up this pin with an external 10 k ohm resistor to v cap if hsb is used as a driver. sram read and write operatio ns, that are in progress when hsb is driven low by any means, are given time to complete before the store operation is initiated. after hsb goes low, the stk22c48 continues sram operations for t delay . during t delay , multiple sram read operations take place. if a write is in progress when hsb is pulled low, it allows a time, t delay to complete. however, any sram write cycles requested after hsb goes low are inhibited until hsb returns high. during any store operation, rega rdless of how it is initiated, the stk22c48 continues to drive the hsb pin low, releasing it only when the store is complete. after completing the store operation, the stk22c48 remains disabled until the hsb pin returns high. if hsb is not used, it is left unconnected. hardware recall (power up) during power-up or after any low power condition (v cc < v reset ), an internal recall request is latched. when v cc once again exceeds the sense voltage of v switch , a recall cycle is automatically initiated and takes t hrecall to complete. data protection the stk22c48 protects data from corruption during low voltage conditions by inhibiting all externally initiated store and write operations. the low voltage condition is detected when v cc is less than v switch . if the stk22c48 is in a write mode (both ce and we are low) at power-up after a recall or after a store, the write is inhibited until a negative transition on ce or we is detected. this protects again st inadvertent writes during power-up or brown out conditions. noise considerations the stk22c48 is a high speed memory. it must have a high frequency bypass capacitor of approximately 0.1 f connected between v cc and v ss, using leads and traces that are as short as possible. as with all high speed cmos ics, careful routing of power, ground, and signals reduce circuit noise. hardware protect the stk22c48 offers hardware protection against inadvertent store operation and sram writes during low voltage conditions. when v cap |
