Features  
Description  
25, 35, 45 ns Read Access and Read/Write Cycle Time  
Unlimited Read/Write Endurance  
The Cypress STK14CA8 is a 1 Mb fast static RAM with a nonvol-  
atile QuantumTrap™ storage element included with each  
memory cell. This SRAM provides fast access and cycle times,  
ease of use, and unlimited read and write endurance of a normal  
SRAM.  
Automatic Nonvolatile STORE on Power Loss  
Nonvolatile STORE Under Hardware or Software Control  
Automatic RECALL to SRAM on Power Up  
Unlimited RECALL Cycles  
Data transfers automatically to the nonvolatile storage cells  
when power loss is detected (the STORE operation). On power  
up, data is automatically restored to the SRAM (the RECALL  
operation). Both STORE and RECALL operations are also  
available under software control.  
200K STORE Cycles  
The Cypress nvSRAM is the first monolithic nonvolatile memory  
to offer unlimited writes and reads. It is the highest performing  
and most reliable nonvolatile memory available.

pin is driven to 5V by a charge pump internal to the chip. A pull  
up should be placed on W to hold it inactive during power up.  
nvSRAM Operation  
nvSRAM  
To reduce unneeded nonvolatile stores, AutoStore and  
Hardware Store operations are ignored unless at least one  
WRITE operation has taken place since the most recent STORE  
or RECALL cycle. Software initiated STORE cycles are  
performed regardless of whether a WRITE operation has taken  
place. The HSB signal can be monitored by the system to detect  
an AutoStore cycle is in progress.  
The STK14CA8 nvSRAM has two functional components paired  
in the same physical cell. These are the SRAM memory cell and  
a nonvolatile QuantumTrap cell. The SRAM memory cell  
operates similar to a standard fast static RAM. Data in the SRAM  
can be transferred to the nonvolatile cell (the STORE operation),  
or from the nonvolatile cell to SRAM (the RECALL operation).  
This unique architecture allows all cells to be stored and recalled  
in parallel. During the STORE and RECALL operations, SRAM  
READ and WRITE operations are inhibited. The STK14CA8  
supports unlimited read and writes similar to a typical SRAM. In  
addition, it provides unlimited RECALL operations from the  
nonvolatile cells and up to 200K STORE operations.  
Figure 15. AutoStore Mode

SRAM READ  
The STK14CA8 performs a READ cycle whenever E and G are  
low while W and HSB are high. The address specified on pins  
W
A
0-16 determine which of the 131,072 data bytes are accessed.  
When the READ is initiated by an address transition, the outputs  
are valid after a delay of tAVQV (READ cycle #1). If the READ is  
initiated by E and G, the outputs are valid at tELQV or at tGLQV  
,
whichever is later (READ cycle #2). The data outputs repeatedly  
responds to address changes within the tAVQV access time  
without the need for transitions on any control input pins, and  
remains valid until another address change or until E or G is  
brought high, or W and HSB is brought low.  
SRAM WRITE  
Hardware STORE (HSB) Operation  
A WRITE cycle is performed whenever E and W are low and HSB  
is high. The address inputs must be stable prior to entering the  
WRITE cycle and must remain stable until either E or W goes  
high at the end of the cycle. The data on the common I/O pins  
DQ0-7 are written into memory if it is valid tDVWH before the end  
of a W controlled WRITE or tDVEH before the end of an E  
controlled WRITE.  
The STK14CA8 provides the HSB pin for controlling and  
acknowledging the STORE operations. The HSB pin is used to  
request a hardware STORE cycle. When the HSB pin is driven  
low, the STK14CA8 conditionally initiates a STORE operation  
after tDELAY. An actual STORE cycle only begins if a WRITE to  
the SRAM took place since the last STORE or RECALL cycle.  
The HSB pin has a very resistive pull up and is internally driven  
low to indicate a busy condition while the STORE (initiated by  
any means) is in progress. This pin should be externally pulled  
up if it is used to drive other inputs.  
It is recommended that G be kept high during the entire WRITE  
cycle to avoid data bus contention on common I/O lines. If G is  
left low, internal circuitry turns off the output buffers tWLQZ after  
W goes low.  
SRAM READ and WRITE operations 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  
AutoStore Operation  
The STK14CA8 stores data to nvSRAM using one of three  
storage operations. These three operations are Hardware Store  
(activated by HSB), Software Store (activated by an address  
sequence), and AutoStore (on power down).  
STK14CA8 continues to allow SRAM operations for tDELAY  
.
During tDELAY, multiple SRAM READ operations may take place.  
If a WRITE is in progress when HSB is pulled low, it is allowed a  
time tDELAY to complete. However, any SRAM WRITE cycles  
requested after HSB goes low are inhibited until HSB returns  
high.  
AutoStore operation is a unique feature of Cypress Quantum  
Trap technology is enabled by default on the STK14CA8.  
If HSB is not used, it should be left unconnected.  
During normal operation, the device draws current from VCC to  
charge a capacitor connected to the VCAP pin. This stored  
charge is used by the chip to perform a single STORE operation.  
If the voltage on the VCC pin drops below VSWITCH, the part  
automatically disconnects the VCAP pin from VCC. A STORE  
operation is initiated with power provided by the VCAP capacitor.  
Hardware RECALL (Power Up)  
During power up or after any low power condition  
(VCC<VSWITCH), an internal RECALL request is latched. When  
VCC again exceeds the sense voltage of VSWITCH, a RECALL  
cycle is automatically initiated and takes tHRECALL to complete.  
Figure 15 shows the proper connection of the storage capacitor  
(VCAP) for automatic store operation. Refer to DC Characteristics

STK14CA8  
Software STORE  
Data Protection  
Data can be transferred from the SRAM to the nonvolatile  
memory by a software address sequence. The STK14CA8  
software STORE cycle is initiated by executing sequential E  
controlled or G controlled READ cycles from six specific address  
locations in exact order. During the STORE cycle, previous data  
is erased and then the new data is programmed into the nonvol-  
atile elements. After a STORE cycle is initiated, further memory  
inputs and outputs are disabled until the cycle is completed.  
The STK14CA8 protects data from corruption during low voltage  
conditions by inhibiting all externally initiated STORE and  
WRITE operations. The low voltage condition is detected when  
VCC<VSWITCH.  
If the STK14CA8 is in a WRITE mode (both E and W low) at  
power up, after a RECALL, or after a STORE, the WRITE is  
inhibited until a negative transition on E or W is detected. This  
protects against inadvertent writes during power up or brown out  
conditions.  
To initiate the software STORE cycle, the following READ  
sequence must be performed:

The STK14CA8 is a high speed memory and so must have a high  
frequency bypass capacitor of approximately 0.1 µF connected  
between VCC and VSS, using leads and traces that are a short  
as possible. As with all high speed CMOS ICs, careful routing of  
power, ground, and signals reduce circuit noise.

Best Practices  
Initiate STORE Cycle  
nvSRAM products have been used effectively for over 15 years.  
While ease-of-use is one of the product’s main system values,  
experience gained working with hundreds of applications has  
resulted in the following suggestions as best practices:  
When the sixth address in the sequence is entered, the STORE  
cycle commences and the chip is disabled. It is important that  
READ cycles and not WRITE cycles be used in the sequence  
and that G is active. After the tSTORE cycle time is fulfilled, the  
SRAM is again activated for READ and WRITE operation.  
The nonvolatile cells in an nvSRAM are programmed on the  
test floor during final test and quality assurance. Incoming  
inspection routines at customer or contract manufacturer’s  
sites sometimes reprograms these values. Final NV patterns  
are typically repeating patterns of AA, 55, 00, FF, A5, or 5A.  
End product’s firmware should not assume an NV array is in a  
set programmed state. Routines that check memory content  
values to determine first time system configuration, cold or  
warm boot status, etc. should always program a unique NV  
pattern (for example, complex 4-byte pattern of 46 E6 49 53  
hex or more random bytes) as part of the final system manufac-  
turing test to ensure these system routines work consistently.  
Software RECALL  
Data can be 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 E controlled or G  
controlled READ operations must be performed:  
Read Address

0x83E0  
0x7C1F  
0x703F  
0x4C63

Power up boot firmware routines should rewrite the nvSRAM  
into the desired state such as AutoStore enabled. While the  
nvSRAM is shipped in a preset state, best practice is to again  
rewrite the nvSRAM into the desired state as a safeguard  
against events that might flip the bit inadvertently (program  
bugs, incoming inspection routines, and so on.)

Initiate RECALL Cycle  
IfAutoStoreisfirmwaredisabled, itdoesnotresettoAutoStore  
enabledoneverypowerdowneventcapturedbythenvSRAM.  
The application firmware should re-enable or re-disable  
AutoStore on each reset sequence based on the behavior  
desired.  
Internally, RECALL is a two-step procedure. First, the SRAM  
data is cleared, and second, the nonvolatile information is trans-  
ferred into the SRAM cells. After the tRECALL cycle time, the  
SRAM is again ready for READ or WRITE operations. The  
RECALL operation in no way alters the data in the nonvolatile  
storage elements.  
The Vcap value specified in this data sheet includes a minimum  
and a maximum value size. Best practice is to meet this  
requirement and not exceed the max Vcap value because the  
nvSRAM internal algorithm calculates Vcap charge time based  
on this max Vcap value. Customers that want to use a larger  
Vcap value to make sure there is extra store charge and store  
time should discuss their Vcap size selection with Cypress to  
understand any impact on the Vcap voltage level at the end of  
a tRECALL period.

STK14CA8  
Low Average Active Power  
Preventing AutoStore  
CMOS technology provides the STK14CA8 with the benefit of  
power supply current that scales with cycle time. Less current is  
drawn as the memory cycle time becomes longer than 50 ns.  
Figure 16 shows the relationship between ICC and  
READ/WRITE cycle time. Worst case current consumption is  
shown for commercial temperature range, VCC=3.6V, and chip  
enable at maximum frequency. Only standby current is drawn  
when the chip is disabled. The overall average current drawn by  
the STK14CA8 depends on the following items:  
The AutoStore function can be disabled by initiating an  
AutoStore Disable sequence. A sequence of READ operations  
is performed in a manner similar to the software STORE initi-  
ation. To initiate the AutoStore Disable sequence, the following  
sequence of E controlled or G controlled READ operations must  
be performed:

in a manner similar to the software RECALL initiation. To initiate  
the AutoStore Enable sequence, the following sequence of E  
controlled or G controlled READ operations must be performed:

save the AutoStore state through subsequent power down  
cycles. The part comes from the factory with AutoStore enabled.
