—With Timing Enhancements
The X22C12 is a 256 x 4 CMOS NOVRAM featuring a
high-speed static RAM overlaid bit-for-bit with a non-
volatile E
2
PROM. The NOVRAM design allows data to
be easily transferred from RAM to E
2
PROM (STORE)
and from E
2
PROM to RAM (RECALL). The STORE
operation is completed within 5ms or less and the
RECALL is completed within 1µs.
Xicor NOVRAMs are designed for unlimited write opera-
tions to the RAM, either RECALLs from E
2
PROM or
writes from the host. The X22C12 will reliably endure
1,000,000 STORE cycles. Inherent data retention is
greater than 100 years.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS AND DEVICE OPERATION
Addresses (A
0
–A
7
)
The address inputs select a 4-bit memory location
during a read or write operation.
Chip Select (CS)
The Chip Select input must be LOW to enable read or
write operations with the RAM array.
CS
HIGH will place
the I/O pins in the high impedance state.
Write Enable (WE)
The Write Enable input controls the I/O buffers, deter-
mining whether a RAM read or write operation is en-
abled. When
CS
is LOW and
WE
is HIGH, the I/O pins
will output data from the selected RAM address loca-
tions. When both
CS
and
WE
are LOW, data presented
at the I/O pins will be written to the selected address
location.
Data In/Data Out (I/O
1
–I/O
4
)
Data is written to or read from the X22C12 through the
I/O pins. The I/O pins are placed in the high impedance
state when either
CS
is HIGH or during either a store or
recall operation.
STORE
The
STORE
input, when LOW, will initiate the transfer of
the entire contents of the RAM array to the E
2
PROM
array. The
WE
and
RECALL
inputs are inhibited during
the store cycle. The store operation is completed in 5ms
or less.
A store operation has priority over RAM read/write
operations. If
STORE
is asserted during a read opera-
tion, the read will be discontinued. If
STORE
is asserted
during a RAM write operation, the write will be immedi-
ately terminated and the store performed. The data at
the RAM address that was being written will be unknown
in both the RAM and E
2
PROM arrays.
RECALL
The
RECALL
input, when LOW, will initiate the transfer
of the entire contents of the E
2
PROM array to the RAM
array. The transfer of data will be completed in 1µs or
less.
An array recall has priority over RAM read/write opera-
tions and will terminate both operations when
RECALL
is asserted.
RECALL
LOW will also inhibit the
STORE
input.
Automatic Recall
Upon power-up the X22C12 will automatically recall
data from the E
2
PROM array into the RAM array.
Write Protection
The X22C12 has three write protect features that are
employed to protect the contents of the nonvolatile
memory.
• V
CC
Sense—All functions are inhibited when V
CC
is
<3.5V typical.
• Write Inhibit—Holding either
STORE
HIGH or
RECALL
LOW during power-up or power-down will
prevent an inadvertent store operation and E
2
PROM
data integrity will be maintained.
• Noise Protection—A
STORE
pulse of typically less
than 20ns will not initiate a store cycle.

COMMENT
Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum
Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device.
This is a stress rating only and the functional operation of
the device at these or any other conditions above those
indicated in the operational sections of this specification is
not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating condi-
tions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
