In SRAM mode, the memory operates as a standard fast static RAM. In nonvolatile mode, data is transferred from SRAM to nonvolatile elements (the STORE operation) or from nonvolatile elements to SRAM (the RECALL operation). In this mode SRAM functions are disabled. NOISE CONSIDERATIONS The STK14C88 is a high-speed memory and so must have a high-frequency bypass capacitor of approximately 0.1μF connected between VCAP and VSS, using leads and traces that are as short as possible. As with all high-speed CMOS ICs, normal careful routing of power, ground and signals will help prevent noise problems. SRAM READ The STK14C88 performs a READ cycle whenever E and G are low and W and HSB are high. The address specified on pins A0-14 determines which of the 32,768 data bytes will be accessed. When the READ is initiated by an address transition, the outputs will be valid after a delay of tAVQV (READ cycle #1). If the READ is initiated by E or G, the outputs will be valid at tELQV or at tGLQV, whichever is later (READ cycle #2). The data outputs will repeatedly respond to address changes within the tAVQV access time without the need for transitions on any control input pins, and will remain valid until another address change or until E or G is brought high, or W or HSB is brought low. SRAM WRITE 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 will be written into the memory if it is valid tDVWH before the end of a W controlled WRITE or tDVEH before the end of an E controlled WRITE. 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 will turn off the output buffers tWLQZ after W goes low. Document Control #ML0014 Rev 2.0 Feb, 2008 9 POWER-UP RECALL During power up, or after any low-power condition (VCAP < VRESET), an internal RECALL request will be latched. When VCAP once again exceeds the sense voltage of VSWITCH, a RECALL cycle will automatically be initiated and will take tRESTORE to complete. If the STK14C88 is in a WRITE state at the end of power-up RECALL, the SRAM data will be corrupted. To help avoid this situation, a 10K Ohm resistor should be connected either between W and system VCC or between E and system VCC. SOFTWARE NONVOLATILE STORE The STK14C88 software STORE cycle is initiated by executing sequential E controlled READ cycles from six specific address locations. During the STORE cycle an erase of the previous nonvolatile data is first performed, followed by a program of the nonvolatile elements. The program operation copies the SRAM data into nonvolatile memory. Once a STORE cycle is initiated, further input and output are disabled until the cycle is completed. 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 will be aborted and no STORE or RECALL will take place. To initiate the software STORE cycle, the following READ sequence must be performed: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Read address Read address Read address Read address Read address Read address 0E38 (hex) 31C7 (hex) 03E0 (hex) 3C1F (hex) 303F (hex) 0FC0 (hex) Valid READ Valid READ Valid READ Valid READ Valid READ Initiate STORE cycle The software sequence must be clocked with E controlled READs. Once the sixth address in the sequence has been entered, the STORE cycle will commence and the chip will be disabled. It is important that READ cycles and not WRITE cycles be used in the sequence, although it is not necessary that G be low for the sequence to be valid. After the tSTORE cycle time has been fulfilled, the SRAM will again be activated for READ and WRITE operation. STK14C88 SOFTWARE NONVOLATILE RECALL 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 READ operations must be performed: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Read address Read address Read address Read address Read address Read address 0E38 (hex) 31C7 (hex) 03E0 (hex) 3C1F (hex) 303F (hex) 0C63 (hex) Valid READ Valid READ Valid READ Valid READ Valid READ Initiate RECALL cycle Internally, RECALL is a two-step procedure. First, the SRAM data is cleared, and second, the nonvolatile information is transferred into the SRAM cells. After the tRECALL cycle time the SRAM will once again be ready for READ and WRITE operations. The RECALL operation in no way alters the data in the nonvolatile elements. The nonvolatile data can be recalled an unlimited number of times. AutoStore MODE The STK14C88 can be powered in one of three modes. During normal AutoStore operation, the STK14C88 will draw current from VCC to charge a capacitor connected to the VCAP pin. This stored charge will be used by the chip to perform a single STORE operation. After power up, when the voltage on the VCAP pin drops below VSWITCH, the part will automatically disconnect the VCAP pin from VCC and initiate a STORE operation. Figure 1 shows the proper connection of capacitors for automatic store operation. A charge storage capacitor having a capacity of between 68μF and 220μF (± 20%) rated at 6V should be provided. In system power mode, both VCC and VCAP are connected to the + 5V power supply without the 68μF capacitor. In this mode the AutoStore function of the STK14C88 will operate on the stored system charge as power goes down. The user must, however, guarantee that VCC does not drop below 3.6V during the 10ms STORE cycle. If an automatic STORE on power loss is not required, then VCC can be tied to ground and + 5V applied to VCAP (Figure 2). This is the AutoStore Inhibit mode, in which the AutoStore function is disabled. If the STK14C88 is operated in this configuration, references to VCC should be changed to VCAP throughout this data sheet. In this mode, STORE operations may be triggered through software control or the HSB pin. To enable or disable AutoStore using an IO port pin, see “PREVENTING STORES” on page 12. In order to prevent unneeded STORE operations, automatic STOREs as well as those initiated by externally driving HSB low will be ignored unless at least one WRITE operation has taken place since the most recent STORE or RECALL cycle. Softwareinitiated STORE cycles are performed regardless of whether a WRITE operation has taken place. If the power supply drops faster than 20 μs/volt before VCC reaches VSWITCH, then a 2.2 ohm resistor should be inserted between VCC and the system supply to avoid momentary excess of current between Vcc and Vcap. 1 32 31 + 0.1μF Bypass 68μF 6v, ±20% 30 16 17 Figure 1: AutoStore Mode Document Control #ML0014 Rev 2.0 Feb, 2008 10 10kΩ 10kΩ∗ STK14C88 AutoStore INHIBIT MODE 1 10KΩ 10K? 10KΩ 10K? 0.1µF Bypass If an automatic STORE on power loss is not required, then VCC can be tied to ground and system power applied to VCAP (Figure 2). This is the AutoStore Inhibit Mode, in which the AutoStore function is disabled. If the STK14C88 is operated in this configuration, references to VCC should be changed to VCAP throughout this data sheet. In this mode, STORE operations may be triggered through software control. It is not permissible to change between these three options “on the fly.” 32 31 be allowed a time, tDELAY, to complete. However, any SRAM WRITE cycles requested after HSB goes low will be inhibited until HSB returns high. The HSB pin can be used to synchronize multiple STK14C88s while using a single larger capacitor. To operate in this mode the HSB pin should be connected together to the HSB pins from the other STK14C88s. An external pull-up resistor to + 5V is required since HSB acts as an open drain pull down. The VCAP pins from the other STK14C88 parts can be tied together and share a single capacitor. The capacitor size must be scaled by the number of devices connected to it. When any one of the STK14C88s detects a power loss and asserts HSB, the common HSB pin will cause all parts to request a STORE cycle (a STORE will take place in those STK14C88s that have been written since the last nonvolatile cycle). 30 During any STORE operation, regardless of how it was initiated, the STK14C88 will continue to drive the HSB pin low, releasing it only when the STORE is complete. Upon completion of the STORE operation the STK14C88 will remain disabled until the HSB pin returns high. If HSB is not used, it should be left unconnected. 16 17 BEST PRACTICES Figure 2: AutoStore Inhibit Mode HSB OPERATION The STK14C88 provides the HSB pin for controlling and acknowledging the STORE operations. The HSB pin can be used to request a hardware STORE cycle. When the HSB pin is driven low, the STK14C88 will conditionally initiate a STORE operation after tDELAY; an actual STORE cycle will only begin if a WRITE to the SRAM took place since the last STORE or RECALL cycle. The HSB pin has a very resistive pullup and is internally driven low to indicate a busy condition while the STORE (initiated by any means) is in progress. Pull up this pin with an external 10K ohm resistor to VCAP if HSB is used as a driver. 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 STK14C88 will continue 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 will Document Control #ML0014 Rev 2.0 Feb, 2008 11 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: • The non-volatile 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 will sometimes reprogram 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 (e.g., complex 4-byte pattern of 46 E6 49 53 hex or more random bytes) as part of the final system manufacturing test to ensure these system routines work consistently. STK14C88 PREVENTING STORES The STORE function can be disabled on the fly by holding HSB high with a driver capable of sourcing 30mA at a VOH of at least 2.2V, as it will have to overpower the internal pull-down device that drives HSB low for 20μs at the onset of a STORE. When the STK14C88 is connected for AutoStore operation (system VCC connected to VCC and a 68μF capacitor on VCAP) and VCC crosses VSWITCH on the way down, the STK14C88 will attempt to pull HSB low; if HSB doesn’t actually get below VIL, the part will stop trying to pull HSB low and abort the STORE attempt. HARDWARE PROTECT The STK14C88 offers hardware protection against inadvertent STORE operation and SRAM WRITEs during low-voltage conditions. When VCAP < VSWITCH, all externally initiated STORE operations and SRAM WRITEs will be inhibited. AutoStore can be completely disabled by tying VCC to ground and applying + 5V to VCAP. This is the AutoStore Inhibit mode; in this mode STOREs are only initiated by explicit request using either the software sequence or the HSB pin. LOW AVERAGE ACTIVE POWER The STK14C88 draws significantly less current when it is cycled at times longer than 50ns. Figure 3 shows the relationship between ICC and READ cycle Document Control #ML0014 Rev 2.0 Feb, 2008 12 100 Average Active Current (mA) • The Vcap value specified in this datasheet 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 Simtek to understand any impact on the Vcap voltage level at the end of a tRECALL period. time. Worst-case current consumption is shown for both CMOS and TTL input levels (commercial temperature range, VCC = 5.5V, 100% duty cycle on chip enable). Figure 4 shows the same relationship for WRITE cycles. If the chip enable duty cycle is less than 100%, only standby current is drawn when the chip is disabled. The overall average current drawn by the STK14C88 depends on the following items: 1) CMOS vs. TTL input levels; 2) the duty cycle of chip enable; 3) the overall cycle rate for accesses; 4) the ratio of READs to WRITEs; 5) the operating temperature; 6) the Vcc level; and 7) I/O loading. 80 60 40 TTL 20 CMOS 0 50 100 150 Cycle Time (ns) 200 Figure 3: Icc (max) Reads 100 Average Active Current (mA) • Power up boot firmware routines should rewrite the nvSRAM into the desired state (autostore enabled, etc.). 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, etc.). 80 60 TTL 40 CMOS 20 0 50 100 150 Cycle Time (ns) Figure 4: Icc (max) Writes 200 STK14C88 Commercial and Industrial Ordering Information STK14C88 - N F 45 I TR Packaging Option Blank = Tube TR = Tape and Reel Temperature Range Blank = Commercial (0 to 70°C) I = Industrial (-40 to 85°C) Access Time 25 = 25ns 35 = 35ns 45 = 45ns Lead Finish F = 100% Sn (Matte Tin) Package N = Plastic 32-pin 300 mil SOIC C = Ceramic 32-pin 300 mil CDIP L = Ceramic 32-pad LCC Document Control #ML0014 Rev 2.0 Feb, 2008 13 STK14C88 Military Ordering Information STK14C88 - 5 C 45 M Temperature Range M = Military (-55 to 125°C) Access Time 35 = 35ns 45 = 45ns Package L=Ceramic 32-pad LCC C=Ceramic 32-pin 300 mil CDIP K=Ceramic 32-pin 300 mil CDIP with solder dip finish Retention / Endurance 5 = Military (10 years or 105cycles) Document Control #ML0014 Rev 2.0 Feb, 2008 14 STK14C88 Ordering Information Part Number STK14C88-NF25 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM SOP32-300 Description Access Times 25 ns access time Commercial STK14C88-NF35 STK14C88-NF45 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM SOP32-300 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM SOP32-300 35 ns access time 45 ns access time Commercial Commercial STK14C88-NF25TR STK14C88-NF35TR 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM SOP32-300 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM SOP32-300 25 ns access time 35 ns access time Commercial Commercial STK14C88-NF45TR STK14C88-NF25I STK14C88-NF35I STK14C88-NF45I STK14C88-NF25ITR STK14C88-NF35ITR STK14C88-NF45ITR STK14C88-C45I STK14C88-5L35M STK14C88-5L45M STK14C88-5C35M STK14C88-5C45M STK14C88-5K35M STK14C88-5K45M 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM 5V 32Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM 45 ns access time 25 ns access time 35 ns access time 45 ns access time 25 ns access time 35 ns access time 45 ns access time 45 ns access time 35 ns access time 45 ns access time 35 ns access time 45 ns access time 35 ns access time 45 ns access time Commercial Industrial Industrial Industrial Industrial Industrial Industrial Industrial Military Military Military Military Military Military Document Control #ML0014 Rev 2.0 Feb, 2008 15 SOP32-300 SOP32-300 SOP32-300 SOP32-300 SOP32-300 SOP32-300 SOP32-300 CDIP32-300 LCC32-450 LCC32-450 CDIP32-300 CDIP32-300 CDIP32-300 CDIP32-300 Temperature STK14C88 Package Diagrams 32 Lead 300 mil SOIC Gull Wing 0.292 7.42 0.300 7.60 ( ) 0.405 10.29 0.419 10.64 ( ) Pin 1 Index .050 (1.27) 0.810 20.57 0.822 20.88 ( 0.026 0.66 0.032 0.81 ( BSC ) ) 0.090 2.29 0.100 2.54 ( ) 0.086 0.090 0.12 0.22 ( ) 0.004 0.10 0.010 0.25 ( ) 0.014 0.36 0.020 0.51 0.006 0.013 0 0.15 ( 0.32 ) 8 0.021 0.041 DIM = INCHES DIM = mm Document Control #ML0014 Rev 2.0 Feb, 2008 16 MIN MAX MIN ( MAX ) 0.53 ( 1.04 ) o o 2.18 ) ( 2.29 STK14C88 32 Lead 300 mil Side Braze DIL 1.585 1.615 (40.25 41.02) .280 .310 ( 7.36 7.87 ) Pin 1 Index ( ) PIN 16 ----.060 1.52 ( ) .124 3.15 .162 4.12 .125 (3.18) MIN .016 .020 .048 .052 ( ) 0.41 0.51 .290 .310 ( ) ( 7.37 7.87 ) .009 .012 .300 .320 ( 7.62 8.13 ) DIM = INCHES DIM = mm Document Control #ML0014 Rev 2.0 Feb, 2008 .090 .110 1.22 1.32 MIN MAX MIN ( MAX ) 17 ( 0.23 0.30 ) 2.29 ) ( 2.79 .040 .060 1.02 1.52 ( ) STK14C88 32 Lead 450 mil Ceramic LCC .080±.008 .060±.006 .550±.005 .020±.002 .020±.002 (.040) Pad 1 .310±.006 .450±.005 Pad 32 .360±.006 (.020X2) C.040±.010 C.020±.010 .002 TYP .050±.005 .450-.010 +.005 1 .0 (R.009) 5M IN .050 .300 [P=.050X6] Pad 1 Index Pad 32 .085±.008 .350-.010 +.005 (C.004) .050 .400 [P=.050X8] Document Control #ML0014 Rev 2.0 Feb, 2008 TYP .050±.005 .025±.003 18 NOTES: 1.
