DESCRIPTION
The DS1258 128k x 16 nonvolatile (NV) SRAMs are 2,097,152-bit fully static, NV SRAMs, organized as
131,072 words by 16 bits. Each NV SRAM has a self-contained lithium energy source and control
circuitry that constantly monitors V
CC
for an out-of-tolerance condition. When such a condition occurs,
the lithium energy source is automatically switched on and write protection is unconditionally enabled to
prevent data corruption. DIP-package DS1258 devices can be used in place of solutions that build NV
128k x 16 memory by utilizing a variety of discrete components. There is no limit on the number of write
cycles that can be executed and no additional support circuitry is required for microprocessor interfacing.

READ MODE
The DS1258 devices execute a read cycle whenever
WE
(Write Enable) is inactive (high) and either/both
of
CEU
or
CEL
(Chip Enables) are active (low) and
OE
(Output Enable) is active (low). The unique
address specified by the 17 address inputs (A0-A16) defines which of the 131,072 words of data is
accessed. The status of
CEU
and
CEL
determines whether all or part of the addressed word is accessed. If
CEU
is active with
CEL
inactive, then only the upper byte of the addressed word is accessed. If
CEU
is
inactive with
CEL
active, then only the lower byte of the addressed word is accessed. If both the
CEU
and
CEL
inputs are active (low), then the entire 16-bit word is accessed. Valid data will be available to
the 16 data output drivers within t
ACC
(Access Time) after the last address input signal is stable, providing
that
CEU
,
CEL
and
OE
access times are also satisfied. If
CEU
,
CEL
, and
OE
access times are not
satisfied, then data access must be measured from the later occurring signal, and the limiting parameter is
either t
CO
for
CEU
,
CEL
, or t
OE
for
OE
rather than address access.
WRITE MODE
The DS1258 devices execute a write cycle whenever
WE
and either/both of
CEU
or
CEL
are active (low)
after address inputs are stable. The unique address specified by the 17 address inputs (A0-A16) defines
which of the 131,072 words of data is accessed. The status of
CEU
and
CEL
determines whether all or
part of the addressed word is accessed. If
CEU
is active with
CEL
inactive, then only the upper byte of
the addressed word is accessed. If
CEU
is inactive with
CEL
active, then only the lower byte of the
addressed word is accessed. If both the
CEU
and
CEL
inputs are active (low), then the entire 16-bit word
is accessed. The write cycle is terminated by the earlier rising edge of
CEU
and/or
CEL
, or
WE
. All
address inputs must be kept valid throughout the write cycle.
WE
must return to the high state for a
minimum recovery time (t
WR
) before another cycle can be initiated. The
OE
control signal should be kept
inactive (high) during write cycles to avoid bus contention. However, if the output drivers are enabled
(
CEU
and/or
CEL
, and
OE
active) then
WE
will disable the outputs in t
ODW
from its falling edge.

DATA RETENTION MODE
The DS1258AB provides full functional capability for V
CC
greater than 4.75V, and write protects by
4.5V. The DS1258Y provides full functional capability for V
CC
greater than 4.5V and write protects by
4.25V. Data is maintained in the absence of V
CC
without any additional support circuitry. The NV static
RAMs constantly monitor V
CC
. Should the supply voltage decay, the NV SRAMs automatically write
protect themselves, all inputs become "don't care," and all outputs become high impedance. As V
CC
falls
below approximately 3.0V, a power switching circuit connects the lithium energy source to RAM to
DS1258Y/AB
3 of 8
retain data. During power-up, when V
CC
rises above approximately 3.0V, the power switching circuit
connects external V
CC
to RAM and disconnects the lithium energy source. Normal RAM operation can
resume after V
CC
exceeds 4.75V for the DS1258AB and 4.5V for the DS1258Y.
FRESHNESS SEAL
The DS1258 devices are shipped from Dallas Semiconductor with the lithium energy sources
disconnected, guaranteeing full energy capacity. When V
CC
is first applied at a level greater than V
TP
, the
lithium energy source is enabled for battery backup operation.
