Software RECALL
Data is transferred from the nonvolatile memory to the SRAM
by a software address sequence. A software RECALL cycle is
initiated with a sequence of READ operations in a manner
similar to the software STORE initiation. To initiate the
RECALL cycle, the following sequence of CE
controlled READ
operations is performed:
1. Read address 0x0E38, Valid READ
2. Read address 0x31C7, Valid READ
3. Read address 0x03E0, Valid READ
4. Read address 0x3C1F, Valid READ
5. Read address 0x303F, Valid READ
6. Read address 0x0C63, Initiate RECALL cycle
Internally, RECALL is a two step procedure. First, the SRAM
data is cleared, and then the nonvolatile information is trans-
ferred into the SRAM cells. After the t
RECALL
cycle time, the
SRAM is once again ready for READ and WRITE operations.
The RECALL operation does not alter the data in the nonvol-
atile elements. The nonvolatile data can be recalled an
unlimited number of times.
Preventing STORE
The STORE function can be disabled on the fly by holding HSB
high with a driver capable of sourcing 30 mA at a V
OH
of at
least 2.2V, because it has to overpower the internal pull down
device. This device drives HSB
LOW for 20 μs at the onset of
a STORE. When the STK14C88-3 is connected for AutoStore
operation (system V
CC
connected to V
CC
and a 68 μF
capacitor on V
CAP
) and V
CC
crosses V
SWITCH
on the way
down, the STK14C88-3 attempts to pull HSB
LOW. If HSB
does not actually get below V
IL
, the part stops trying to pull
HSB
LOW and aborts the STORE attempt.
Hardware Protect
The STK14C88-3 offers hardware protection against
inadvertent STORE operation and SRAM WRITEs during low
voltage conditions. When V
CAP
<V
SWITCH
, all externally
initiated STORE operations and SRAM WRITEs are inhibited.
Noise Considerations
The STK14C88-3 is a high speed memory. It must have a high
frequency bypass capacitor of approximately 0.1 µF
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.
Low Average Active Power
CMOS technology provides the STK14C88-3 the benefit of
drawing significantly less current when it is cycled at times
longer than 50 ns. Figure 4 and Figure 5 show the relationship
between I
CC
and READ or WRITE cycle time. Worst case
current consumption is shown for both CMOS and TTL input
levels (commercial temperature range, VCC = 3.6V, 100%
duty cycle on chip enable). Only standby current is drawn
when the chip is disabled. The overall average current drawn
by the STK14C88-3 depends on the following items:
1. The duty cycle of chip enable
2. The overall cycle rate for accesses
3. The ratio of READs to WRITEs
4. CMOS versus TTL input levels
5. The operating temperature
6. The V
CC
level
7. I/O loading
