Functional Description
The Cypress CY14B101KA/CY14B101MA combines a 1 Mbit
nonvolatile static RAM with a full featured real time clock in a
monolithic integrated circuit. The embedded nonvolatile
elements incorporate QuantumTrap technology producing the
world’s most reliable nonvolatile memory. The SRAM is read and
written an infinite number of times, while independent nonvolatile
data resides in the nonvolatile elements.
The Real Time Clock function provides an accurate clock with
leap year tracking and a programmable, high accuracy oscillator.
The alarm function is programmable for periodic minutes, hours,
days, or months alarms. There is also a programmable watchdog
timer for process control.

Device Operation
The CY14B101KA/CY14B101MA nvSRAM is made up of two
functional components paired in the same physical cell. These
are a 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 the SRAM (the
RECALL operation). Using this unique architecture, all cells are
stored and recalled in parallel. During the STORE and RECALL
operations SRAM read and write operations are inhibited. The
CY14B101KA/CY14B101MA supports infinite reads and writes
similar to a typical SRAM. In addition, it provides infinite RECALL
operations from the nonvolatile cells and up to 200K STORE
operations. Refer the
Truth Table For SRAM Operations
on page
23 for a complete description of read and write modes.
AutoStore Operation
The CY14B101KA/CY14B101MA stores data to the nvSRAM
using one of three storage operations. These three operations
are: Hardware STORE, activated by the HSB; Software STORE,
activated by an address sequence; AutoStore, on device power
down. The AutoStore operation is a unique feature of
QuantumTrap technology and is enabled by default on the
CY14B101KA/CY14B101MA.
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.
Note
If the capacitor is not connected to V
CAP
pin, AutoStore
must be disabled using the soft sequence specified in
Preventing
AutoStore
on page 5. In case AutoStore is enabled without a
capacitor on V
CAP
pin, the device attempts an AutoStore
operation without sufficient charge to complete the Store. This
may corrupt the data stored in nvSRAM.

SRAM Read
The CY14B101KA/CY14B101MA performs a read cycle
whenever CE and OE are LOW, and WE and HSB are HIGH.
The address specified on pins A
0-16
or A
0-15
determines which
of the 131,072 data bytes or 65,536 words of 16 bits each are
accessed. Byte enables (BHE, BLE) determine which bytes are
enabled to the output, in the case of 16-bit words. 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 output repeatedly responds to address
changes within the t
AA
access time without the need for transi-
tions on any control input pins. This 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 when CE and WE are LOW and HSB
is HIGH. The address inputs must be stable before entering the
write cycle and must remain stable until CE or WE goes HIGH at
the end of the cycle. The data on the common I/O pins IO
0-7
are
written into the memory if it is valid t
SD
before the end of a
WE-controlled write, or before the end of an CE-controlled write.
The Byte Enable inputs (BHE, BLE) determine which bytes are
written, in the case of 16-bit words. It is recommended that OE
be kept 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.

CY14B101KA/CY14B101MA
a pull up on WE to hold it inactive during power up. This pull up
is only effective if the WE signal is tristate during power up. Many
MPUs tristate their controls on power up. This must be Verified
when using the pull up. When the nvSRAM comes out of
power-on-recall, the MPU must be active or the WE held inactive
until the MPU comes out of reset.
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
RECALL cycle. Software initiated STORE cycles are performed
regardless of whether a write operation has taken place.
The HSB signal is monitored by the system to detect if an
AutoStore cycle is in progress.
Because a sequence of reads from specific addresses is used
for STORE initiation, it is important that no other read or write
accesses intervene in the sequence, or the sequence is aborted
and no STORE or RECALL takes place.
To initiate the Software STORE cycle, the following read
sequence must be performed:
1. Read address 0x4E38 Valid READ
2. Read address 0xB1C7 Valid READ
3. Read address 0x83E0 Valid READ
4. Read address 0x7C1F Valid READ
5. Read address 0x703F Valid READ
6. Read address 0x8FC0 Initiate STORE cycle
The software sequence may be clocked with CE controlled reads
or OE controlled reads, with WE kept HIGH for all the six READ
sequences. After the sixth address in the sequence is entered,
the STORE cycle commences and the chip is disabled. HSB is
driven LOW. After the t
STORE
cycle time is fulfilled, the SRAM is
activated again for the read and write operation.
Hardware STORE (HSB) Operation
The CY14B101KA/CY14B101MA provides the HSB pin to
control and acknowledge the STORE operations. The HSB pin
is used to request a Hardware STORE cycle. When the HSB pin
is driven LOW, the CY14B101KA/CY14B101MA conditionally
initiates a STORE operation after t
DELAY
. An actual STORE cycle
begins only if a write to the SRAM has taken 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 when the STORE (initiated by any means) is in
progress.
SRAM write operations that are in progress when HSB is driven
LOW by any means are given time (t
DELAY
) to complete before
the STORE operation is initiated. However, any SRAM write
cycles requested after HSB goes LOW are inhibited until HSB
returns HIGH. In case the write latch is not set, HSB is not driven
LOW by the CY14B101KA/CY14B101MA. But any SRAM read
and write cycles are inhibited until HSB is returned HIGH by MPU
or other external source.
During any STORE operation, regardless of how it is initiated,
the CY14B101KA/CY14B101MA continues to drive the HSB pin
LOW, releasing it only when the STORE is complete. Upon
completion
of
the
STORE
operation,
the
CY14B101KA/CY14B101MA remains disabled until the HSB pin
returns HIGH. Leave the HSB unconnected if it is not used.
Software RECALL
Data is transferred from 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 or OE controlled read operations
must be performed:
1. Read address 0x4E38 Valid READ
2. Read address 0xB1C7 Valid READ
3. Read address 0x83E0 Valid READ
4. Read address 0x7C1F Valid READ
5. Read address 0x703F Valid READ
6. Read address 0x4C63 Initiate RECALL cycle
Internally, RECALL is a two step procedure. First, the SRAM data
is cleared. Next, the nonvolatile information is transferred into the
SRAM cells. After the t
RECALL
cycle time, the SRAM is again
ready for read and write operations. The RECALL operation
does not alter the data in the nonvolatile elements.
Hardware RECALL (Power Up)
During power up or after any low power condition
(V
CC
< V
SWITCH
), an internal RECALL request is latched. When
V
CC
again exceeds the V
SWITCH
on powerup, a RECALL cycle
is automatically initiated and takes t
HRECALL
to complete. During
this time, the HSB pin is driven LOW by the HSB driver and all
reads and writes to nvSRAM are inhibited.
Software STORE
Data is transferred from SRAM to the nonvolatile memory by a
software address sequence. The CY14B101KA/CY14B101MA
Software STORE cycle is initiated by executing sequential CE or
OE controlled read cycles from six specific address locations in
exact order. During the STORE cycle, an erase of the previous
nonvolatile data is first performed, followed by a program of the
nonvolatile elements. After a STORE cycle is initiated, further
input and output are disabled until the cycle is completed.

Preventing AutoStore
The AutoStore function is disabled by initiating an AutoStore
disable sequence. A sequence of read operations is performed
in a manner similar to the Software STORE initiation. To initiate
the AutoStore disable sequence, the following sequence of CE
or OE controlled read operations must be performed:
1. Read address 0x4E38 Valid READ
2. Read address 0xB1C7 Valid READ
3. Read address 0x83E0 Valid READ
4. Read address 0x7C1F Valid READ
5. Read address 0x703F Valid READ
6. Read address 0x8B45 AutoStore Disable
The AutoStore is reenabled by initiating an AutoStore enable
sequence. A sequence of read operations is performed in a
manner similar to the Software RECALL initiation.
To initiate the AutoStore enable sequence, the following
sequence of CE or OE controlled read operations must be
performed:
1. Read address 0x4E38 Valid READ
2. Read address 0xB1C7 Valid READ
3. Read address 0x83E0 Valid READ
4. Read address 0x7C1F Valid READ
5. Read address 0x703F Valid READ
6. Read address 0x4B46 AutoStore Enable
If the AutoStore function is disabled or reenabled, a manual
STORE operation (Hardware or Software) issued to save the
AutoStore state through subsequent power down cycles. The
part comes from the factory with AutoStore enabled.
Notes
8. While there are 17 address lines on the CY14B101KA (16 address lines on the CY14B101MA), only the 13 address lines (A
14
- A
2
) are used to control software
modes. The remaining address lines are don’t care.
9. The six consecutive address locations must be in the order listed. WE must be HIGH during all six cycles to enable a nonvolatile cycle.
