General Description
The CMOS bq4010 is a nonvolatile
65,536-bit static RAM organized as
8,192 words by 8 bits. The integral
control circuitry and lithium energy
source provide reliable nonvolatility
coupled with the unlimited write
cycles of standard SRAM.
The control circuitry constantly
monitors the single 5V supply for an
out-of-tolerance condition. When V
CC
falls out of tolerance, the SRAM is
unconditionally write-protected to
prevent inadvertent write operation.
At this time the integral energy
source is switched on to sustain the
memory until after V
CC
returns valid.
The bq4010 uses an extremely low
standby current CMOS SRAM,
coupled with a small lithium coin
cell to provide nonvolatility without
long write-cycle times and the write-
cycle limitations associated with
EEPROM.
The bq4010 requires no external cir-
cuitry and is socket-compatible with
industry-standard SRAMs and most
EPROMs and EEPROMs.
