Functional Description
The Cypress CY14B256L 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.
