Device Operation
The STK12C68-5 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 the storage and
recall of all cells in parallel. During the STORE and RECALL
operations, SRAM Read and Write operations are inhibited. The
STK12C68-5 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 STK12C68-5 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 IO
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 IO lines. If OE is left LOW,
internal circuitry turns off the output buffers t
LOW.
AutoStore Operation
The STK12C68-5 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 STK12C68-5.

To reduce unnecessary nonvolatile stores, AutoStore, and
Hardware Store operations are ignored, unless at least one Write
operation has taken place since the most recent STORE or
