Advance Information
1Mb Ultra-Low Power Asynchronous Medical CMOS SRAM
128K x 8 bit
Overview
The N01M0818L1A is an integrated memory
device
intended for non life-support medical
applications.
This device comprises a 1 Mbit
Static Random Access Memory organized as
131,072 words by 8 bits. The device is designed
and fabricated using AMI Semiconductor’s

controls and output enable (OE) to allow for easy
memory expansion. The N01M0818L1A is optimal
for various applications where low-power is critical
such as battery backup and hand-held devices.
The device can operate over a very wide
temperature range of -40
o
C to +85
o
C and is
available in JEDEC standard packages compatible
with other standard 256Kb x 8 SRAMs

1. When the device is in standby mode, control inputs (WE and OE), address inputs and data input/outputs are internally isolated
from any external influence and disabled from exerting any influence externally.
2. When WE is invoked, the OE input is internally disabled and has no effect on the circuit.

=25°C and not 100% tested.
2. This parameter is specified with the outputs disabled to avoid external loading effects. The user must add current required to drive
output capacitance expected in the actual system.
3. This device assumes a standby mode if the chip is disabled (CE1 high or CE2 low). In order to achieve low standby current all
inputs must be within 0.2 volts of either VCC or VSS.

Note: Page mode operation is a method of addressing the SRAM to save operating current. The internal
organization of the SRAM is optimized to allow this unique operating mode to be used as a valuable power
saving feature.
The only thing that needs to be done is to address the SRAM in a manner that the internal page is left open
and 8-bit words of data are read from the open page. By treating addresses A0-A3 as the least significant
bits and addressing the 16 words within the open page, power is reduced to the page mode value which is
considerably lower than standard operating currents for low power SRAMs.
