Device Operation
The CY14E256L nvSRAM is made up of two functional compo-
nents 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 architecture enables storage and recall
of all cells in parallel. During the STORE and RECALL opera-
tions, SRAM READ and WRITE operations are inhibited. The
CY14E256L supports unlimited reads and writes similar to a
typical SRAM. In addition, it provides unlimited RECALL opera-
tions from the nonvolatile cells and up to one million STORE
operations.
SRAM Read
The CY14E256L performs a READ cycle whenever CE and OE
are LOW while WE and HSB are HIGH. The address specified
on pins A
the READ is initiated by an address transition, the outputs are
valid after a delay of t
by CE or OE, the outputs are valid at t
is later (READ cycle 2). The data outputs repeatedly respond to
address changes within the t
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 remain stable until either CE or WE
goes HIGH at the end of the cycle. The data on the common I/O
pins DQ
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
goes LOW.
AutoStore Operation
The CY14E256L stores data to nvSRAM using one of three
storage operations:
AutoStore operation is a unique feature of QuantumTrap
technology and is enabled by default on the CY14E256L.
During normal operation, the device draws current from V

To reduce unnecessary nonvolatile stores, AutoStore and
