The Simtek STK14CA8 is a 1Mb fast static RAM
with a non-volatile Quantum Trap storage element
included with each memory cell.
• Unlimited Read/Write Endurance

The SRAM provides the fast access & cycle times,
ease of use and unlimited read & write endurance of
a normal SRAM.
• Non-Volatile STORE Under Hardware or Software
Control
• Automatic RECALL to SRAM on Power Up
• Unlimited RECALL Cycles
Data transfers automatically to the non-volatile stor-

restored to the SRAM (the RECALL operation). Both
STORE and RECALL operations are also available
under software control.
