Functional Description  
25 ns, 35 ns, and 45 ns access times  
Pin compatible with STK14C88  
The Cypress CY14E256L is a fast static RAM with a nonvolatile  
element in each memory cell. The embedded nonvolatile  
elements incorporate QuantumTrap technology producing the  
world’s most reliable nonvolatile memory. The SRAM provides  
unlimited read and write cycles, while independent, nonvolatile  
data resides in the highly reliable QuantumTrap cell. Data  
transfers from the SRAM to the nonvolatile elements (the  
STORE operation) takes place automatically at power down. On  
power up, data is restored to the SRAM (the RECALL operation)  
from the nonvolatile memory. Both the STORE and RECALL  
operations are also available under software control. A hardware  
STORE is initiated with the HSB pin.

CY14E256L  
having a capacitor of between 68uF and 220uF (+ 20%) rated at  
6V should be provided. The voltage on the VCAP pin is driven to  
5V by a charge pump internal to the chip. A pull up is placed on  
WE to hold it inactive during power up.  
Device Operation  
The CY14E256L 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 CY14E256L 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.  
Figure 2. AutoStore Mode  
SRAM Read  
The CY14E256L performs a READ cycle whenever CE and OE  
are LOW while WE and HSB are HIGH. The address specified  
on pins A0–14 determines the 32,768 data bytes accessed. When  
the READ is initiated by an address transition, the outputs are  
valid after a delay of tAA (READ cycle 1). If the READ is initiated  
by CE or OE, the outputs are valid at tACE or at tDOE, whichever  
is later (READ cycle 2). The data outputs repeatedly respond to  
address changes within the tAA access time without the need for  
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.  
In system power mode, both VCC and VCAP are connected to the  
+5V power supply without the 68 μF capacitor. In this mode, the  
AutoStore function of the CY14E256L operates on the stored  
system charge as power goes down. The user must, however,  
guarantee that VCC does not drop below 3.6V during the 10 ms  
STORE cycle.  
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 DQ0–7 are written into the memory if it has valid tSD, before  
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 tHZWE after WE  
goes LOW.  
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. An optional pull-up resistor is shown connected to HSB.  
The HSB signal is monitored by the system to detect if an  
AutoStore cycle is in progress.  
AutoStore Operation  
If the power supply drops faster than 20 us/volt before Vcc  
reaches VSWITCH, then a 2.2 ohm resistor should be connected  
between VCC and the system supply to avoid momentary excess  
The CY14E256L stores data to nvSRAM using one of three  
storage operations:  
of current between VCC and VCAP  
.
1. Hardware store activated by HSB  
2. Software store activated by an address sequence  
3. AutoStore on device power down  
AutoStore Inhibit mode  
If an automatic STORE on power loss is not required, then VCC  
is tied to ground and + 5V is applied to VCAP (Figure 3). This is  
the AutoStore Inhibit mode, where the AutoStore function is  
disabled. If the CY14E256L is operated in this configuration,  
references to VCC are changed to VCAP throughout this data  
sheet. In this mode, STORE operations are triggered through  
software control or the HSB pin. To enable or disable Autostore  
using an I/O port pin see “” on page 5. It is not permissible to  
change between these three options” on the fly”.  
AutoStore operation is a unique feature of QuantumTrap  
technology and is enabled by default on the CY14E256L.  
During normal operation, the device draws current from VCC to  
charge a capacitor connected to the VCAP pin. This stored  
charge is used by the chip to perform a single STORE operation.  
If the voltage on the VCC pin drops below VSWITCH, the part  
automatically disconnects the VCAP pin from VCC. A STORE  
operation is initiated with power provided by the VCAP capacitor.  
Figure 2 shows the proper connection of the storage capacitor  
(VCAP) for automatic store operation. A charge storage capacitor

CY14E256L  
Figure 3. AutoStore Inhibit Mode  
If the CY14E256L is in a WRITE state at the end of power up  
RECALL, the SRAM data is corrupted. To help avoid this  
situation, a 10 Kohm resistor is connected either between WE  
and system VCC or between CE and system VCC  
.
Software STORE  
Data is transferred from the SRAM to the nonvolatile memory by  
a software address sequence. The CY14E256L software  
STORE cycle is initiated by executing sequential CE 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. When a STORE cycle is initiated, 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. If they intervene, the  
sequence is aborted and no STORE or RECALL takes place.  
To initiate the software STORE cycle, the following READ  
sequence is performed:  
1. Read address 0x0E38, Valid READ  
2. Read address 0x31C7, Valid READ  
3. Read address 0x03E0, Valid READ  
4. Read address 0x3C1F, Valid READ  
5. Read address 0x303F, Valid READ  
6. Read address 0x0FC0, Initiate STORE cycle  
Hardware STORE (HSB) Operation  
The CY14E256L provides the HSB pin for controlling and  
acknowledging the STORE operations. The HSB pin is used to  
request a hardware STORE cycle. When the HSB pin is driven  
LOW, the CY14E256L conditionally initiates a STORE operation  
after tDELAY. An actual STORE cycle only begins if a WRITE to  
the SRAM takes 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, 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.  
The software sequence is clocked with CE controlled READs.  
When the sixth address in the sequence is entered, the STORE  
cycle commences and the chip is disabled. It is important that  
READ cycles and not WRITE cycles are used in the sequence.  
It is not necessary that OE is LOW for a valid sequence. After the  
tSTORE cycle time is fulfilled, the SRAM is again activated for  
READ and WRITE operation.  
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 CY14E256L continues SRAM operations for tDELAY. During  
tDELAY, multiple SRAM READ operations take place. If a WRITE  
is in progress when HSB is pulled LOW, it allows a time, tDELAY  
to complete. However, any SRAM WRITE cycles requested after  
HSB goes LOW are inhibited until HSB returns HIGH.  
Software RECALL  
Data is transferred from the 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 controlled READ operations is  
performed:  
During any STORE operation, regardless of how it is initiated,  
the CY14E256L continues to drive the HSB pin LOW, releasing  
it only when the STORE is complete. After completing the  
STORE operation, the CY14E256L remains disabled until the  
HSB pin returns HIGH.  
1. Read address 0x0E38, Valid READ  
2. Read address 0x31C7, Valid READ  
3. Read address 0x03E0, Valid READ  
4. Read address 0x3C1F, Valid READ  
5. Read address 0x303F, Valid READ  
6. Read address 0x0C63, Initiate RECALL cycle  
If HSB is not used, it is left unconnected.  
Hardware RECALL (Power Up)  
Internally, RECALL is a two step procedure. First, the SRAM data  
is cleared, and then the nonvolatile information is transferred into  
the SRAM cells. After the tRECALL cycle time, the SRAM is once  
again ready for READ and WRITE operations. The RECALL  
operation does not alter the data in the nonvolatile elements. The  
nonvolatile data can be recalled an unlimited number of times.  
During power up or after any low power condition (VCC  
<
V
RESET), an internal RECALL request is latched. When VCC  
once again exceeds the sense voltage of VSWITCH, a RECALL  
cycle is automatically initiated and takes tHRECALL to complete.

CY14E256L  
Figure 4. Current Versus Cycle Time (READ)  
Data Protection  
The CY14E256L protects data from corruption during low  
voltage conditions by inhibiting all externally initiated STORE  
and WRITE operations. The low voltage condition is detected  
when VCC is less than VSWITCH. If the CY14E256L is in a WRITE  
mode (both CE and WE are low) at power up after a RECALL or  
after a STORE, the WRITE is inhibited until a negative transition  
on CE or WE is detected. This protects against inadvertent writes  
during power up or brown out conditions.  
Noise Considerations  
The CY14E256L is a high speed memory. It must have a high  
frequency bypass capacitor of approximately 0.1 µF connected  
between VCC and VSS, using leads and traces that are as short  
as possible. As with all high speed CMOS ICs, careful routing of  
power, ground, and signals reduce circuit noise.  
Figure 5. Current Versus Cycle Time (WRITE)  
Hardware Protect  
The CY14E256L offers hardware protection against inadvertent  
STORE operation and SRAM WRITEs during low voltage condi-  
tions. When VCAP<VSWITCH, all externally initiated STORE  
operations and SRAM WRITEs are 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  
CMOS technology provides the CY14E256L the benefit of  
drawing significantly less current when it is cycled at times longer  
than 50 ns. Figure 4 shows the relationship between ICC and  
READ or WRITE cycle time. Worst case current consumption is  
shown for both CMOS and TTL input levels (commercial temper-  
ature range, VCC = 5.5V, 100% duty cycle on chip enable). Only  
standby current is drawn when the chip is disabled. The overall  
average current drawn by the CY14E256L depends on the  
following items:  
Preventing Store  
The STORE function is disabled by holding HSB high with a  
driver capable of sourcing 30 mA at a VOH of at least 2.2V,  
because it has to overpower the internal pull down device. This  
device drives HSB LOW for 20 μs at the onset of a STORE.  
When the CY14E256L is connected for AutoStore operation  
The duty cycle of chip enable  
The overall cycle rate for accesses  
The ratio of READs to WRITEs  
CMOS versus TTL input levels  
The operating temperature  
The VCC level  
(system VCC connected to VCC and a 68 μF capacitor on VCAP  
)
and VCC crosses VSWITCH on the way down, the CY14E256L  
attempts to pull HSB LOW. If HSB does not actually get below  
VIL, the part stops trying to pull HSB LOW and abort the STORE  
attempt.

Best Practices  
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:  
Power up boot firmware routines should rewrite the nvSRAM  
into the desired state. 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,  
and so on).  
The nonvolatile 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  
sitessometimesreprogramthesevalues. FinalNVpatternsare  
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, and so on should always program a unique  
NV pattern (for example, complex 4-byte pattern of 46 E6 49  
53 hex or more random bytes) as part of the final system  
TheVCAP valuespecifiedinthisdatasheetincludesaminimum  
and a maximum value size. Best practice is to meet this  
requirementandnotexceedthemaximumVCAP valuebecause  
the higher inrush currents may reduce the reliability of the  
internal pass transistor. Customers that want to use a larger  
V
CAP value to make sure there is extra store charge should  
discuss their VCAP size selection with Cypress to understand  
any impact on the VCAP voltage level at the end of a tRECALL  
period.

Notes  
1. I/O state assumes OE < V . Activation of nonvolatile cycles does not depend on state of OE.  
IL  
2. HSB STORE operation occurs only if an SRAM WRITE has been done since the last nonvolatile cycle. After the STORE (if any) completes, the part goes into  
standby mode, inhibiting all operations until HSB rises.  
3. CE and OE LOW and WE HIGH for output behavior.  
4. The six consecutive addresses must be in the order listed. WE must be high during all six consecutive CE controlled cycles to enable a nonvolatile cycle.  
5. While there are 15 addresses on the CY14E256L, only the lower 14 are used to control software modes.
