General Description
The CMOS bq4024 is a nonvolatile
2,097,152-bit static RAM organized
as 131,072 words by 16 bits. The
integral control circuitry and lith-
ium energy source provide reliable
nonvolatility coupled with the un-
lim it ed wr it e cycles of st a n da r d
SRAM.
power
Th e bq4024 u ses ext r em ely low
standby current CMOS SRAMs, cou-
pled with small lithium coin cells to
provide nonvolatility without long
write-cycle times and the write-cycle
limitations associated with EEPROM.
➤ Automatic write-protection dur-
ing power-up/power-down cycles
➤ Industry-standard 40-pin 128K x
16 pinout
➤ Conventional SRAM operation;
The bq4024 requires no external cir-
cuitry and is compatible with the
industry-standard 2Mb SRAM pin-
out.
Th e con t r ol cir cu it r y con st a n t ly

When VCC falls out of tolerance, the
SRAM is u n con dit ion a lly wr it e-
protected to prevent an inadvertent
write operation.
unlimited write cycles
➤ 10-year minimum data retention
in absence of power
➤ Battery internally isolated until
power is applied
