DESCRIPTION
The DS2227 Flexible NV SRAM Stik is a self-contained 4,194,304-bit nonvolatile static RAM which can
be flexibly organized as 128k x 32 bits, 256k x 16 bits, or 512k x 8 bits. The nonvolatile memory contains
all necessary control circuitry and lithium energy sources to maintain data integrity in the absence of
power for more than 10 years. The DS2227 employs the popular JEDEC standard 72-position SIMM
connection scheme requiring no additional circuitry.
OPERATION
The DS2227 Flexible NV SRAM Stik is used like any standard static RAM. All nonvolatile circuitry is
transparent to the user. The flexibility of the part is achieved by providing separate read, write, and chip
