DESCRIPTION
The Simtek STK1743
DIP
module houses 64Kb of
nonvolatile static
RAM
, a real-time clock (
RTC
) with
crystal and a high-value capacitor to support sys-
tems that require high reliability and ease of manu-
facturing.
READ
and
WRITE
access to all
RTC
functions and the memory is the same as a conven-
tional x 8
SRAM
. The highest eight addresses of the
RAM
support clock registers for centuries, years,
months, dates, days, hours, minutes and seconds.
Independent data resides in the integral
EEPROM
at
all times. Automatic
RECALL
on power up transfers
the
EEPROM
data to the
SRAM
, while an automatic
STORE
on power down transfers
SRAM
data to the
EEPROM
. A software
RECALL
and
STORE
are also
possible on user command.
nvTime
™ allows unlim-
ited accesses to
SRAM
, unlimited
