PREVENTING AUTOMATIC STORES
The cycle time used in Figure 2 corresponds to the
length of time from the later of the last address transi-
tion or E goingLOW to the earlier of E going HIGH or the
next address transition. W is assumed to be HIGH,
while the state of G does not matter. Additional current
is consumed when the address lines change state
while E is asserted. The cycle time used in Figure 3
corresponds to the length of time from the later of W or
E going LOW to the earlier of W or E going HIGH.
The AutoStore™ function can be disabled on the fly by
holding HSB HIGH with a driver capable of sourcing
15mA at a VOH of at least 2.2V as it will have to
overpower the internal pull-down device that drives
HSB low for 50ns at the onset of an AutoStore™.

on the following items: 1) CMOS or TTL input levels; 2)
the time during which the chip is disabled (E HIGH); 3)
the cycle time for accesses (E LOW); 4) the ratio of
reads to writes; 5) the operating temperature; 6) the
the part will stop trying to pull HSB LOW and abort the
