❐ Industrial temperature
❐ 8- and 16-pin small outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package
❐ Restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) compliant
internally organized as 32 K × 8
❐ STORE to QuantumTrap nonvolatile elements initiated
automatically on power-down (AutoStore) or by using SPI
instruction (Software STORE) or HSB pin (Hardware
STORE)
❐ RECALL to SRAM initiated on power-up (Power-Up
RECALL) or by SPI instruction (Software RECALL)
Functional Overview
❐ Support automatic STORE on power-down with a small
capacitor (except for CY14X256Q1A)
The Cypress CY14X256Q combines a 256-Kbit nvSRAM[1] with
a nonvolatile element in each memory cell 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 automati-
cally at power-down (except for CY14X256Q1A). 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.

❐ 40 MHz clock rate SPI write and read with zero cycle delay
❐ 104 MHz clock rate SPI write and SPI 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
❐ Manufacturer ID and Product ID
❐ Sleep mode
