Overview
The Cypress CY14X256PA combines a 256-Kbit nvSRAM[1] with
a full-featured RTC in a monolithic integrated circuit with serial
SPI interface. The memory is organized as 32 K words of 8 bits
each. The embedded nonvolatile elements incorporate the
QuantumTrap technology, creating the world’s most reliable
nonvolatile memory. The SRAM provides infinite read and write
cycles, while the QuantumTrap cells provide highly reliable
nonvolatile storage of data. Data transfers from SRAM to the
nonvolatile elements (STORE operation) takes place
automatically at power-down. On power-up, data is restored to
the SRAM from the nonvolatile memory (RECALL operation).
You can also initiate the STORE and RECALL operations
through SPI instruction.
❐ Capacitor or battery backup for RTC
❐ Backup current of 0.45 µA (typical)
■ 40 MHz and 104 MHz High-speed serial peripheral interface
(SPI)
❐ 40 MHz clock rate SPI write and read with zero cycle delay
❐ 104 MHz clock rate SPI write and read (with special fast read
instructions)
❐ Supports SPI mode 0 (0,0) and mode 3 (1,1)
■ SPI access to special functions
❐ Nonvolatile STORE/RECALL
❐ 8-byte serial number
