CAP)
(48LXXX) serial EERAM has an SRAM memory core A small capacitor (typically 47 μF to 100 μF) is required with hidden EEPROM backup. The device can be for the proper operation of the device. This capacitor is treated by the user as a full symmetrical read/write placed between VCAP (pin 3) and the system VSS (see SRAM. Backup to EEPROM is handled by the device Normal Device Operation). When power is first applied on any power disrupt, so the user can effectively view to the device, this capacitor is charged to VCC through this device as an SRAM that never loses its data. the device (see Normal Device Operation). During nor- The device is structured as a 512/1024-Kbit SRAM mal SRAM operation, the capacitor remains charged to with EEPROM backup in each memory cell. The VCC and the level of system VCC is monitored by the SRAM is organized as 65,536 x 8 bits or device. If system VCC drops below a set threshold, the 131,072 x 8 bits, and uses the SPI serial interface. device interprets this as a power-off or brown-out The SPI bus uses three signal lines for event. The device suspends all I/O operation, shuts off communication: clock input (SCK), data in (SI), and its connection with the VCC pin, and uses the saved data out (SO). Access to the device is controlled energy in the capacitor to power the device through the through a Chip Select (CS) input, allowing any number VCAP pin as it transfers all SRAM data to EEPROM of devices to share the same bus.

On the next power-up of VCC, the data is transfered back to SRAM, the capaci- The SRAM is a conventional serial SRAM: it allows tor is recharged, and the SRAM operation continues. symmetrical reads and writes and has no limits on cel usage.
