Replaceable power-source
(part number: bq40MS)
prevent inadvertent write opera-
tion.
At this time the integral energy
source is switched on to sustain the
memory until after V
CC
returns valid.
The bq4013/Y uses an extremely
low standby current CMOS SRAM,
coupled with a small lithium coin
cell to provide nonvolatility without
long write-cycle times and the
write-cycle limitations associated
with EEPROM.
The bq4013/Y requires no external
circuitry and is socket-compatible
with industry-standard SRAMs and
most EPROMs and EEPROMs.
General Description
The CMOS bq4013/Y is a nonvolatile
1,048,576-bit static RAM organized as
131,072 words by 8 bits. The integral
control circuitry and lithium energy
source provide reliable nonvolatility
coupled with the unlimited write cy-
cles of standard SRAM.
The control circuitry constantly
monitors the single 5V supply for an
out-of-tolerance condition. When
V
CC
falls out of tolerance, the SRAM
is unconditionally write-protected to

bq4013/Y
Functional Description
When power is valid, the bq4013/Y operates as a stan-
dard CMOS SRAM. During power-down and power-up
cycles, the bq4013/Y acts as a nonvolatile memory, auto-
matically protecting and preserving the memory con-
tents.
Power-down/power-up control circuitry constantly moni-
tors the V
CC
supply for a power-fail-detect threshold
V
PFD
. The bq4013 monitors for V
PFD
= 4.62V typical for
use in systems with 5% supply tolerance. The bq4013Y
monitors for V
PFD
= 4.37V typical for use in systems
with 10% supply tolerance.
When V
CC
falls below the V
PFD
threshold, the SRAM au-
tomatically write-protects the data. All outputs become
high impedance, and all inputs are treated as “don’t
care.” If a valid access is in process at the time of
power-fail detection, the memory cycle continues to com-
pletion. If the memory cycle fails to terminate within
time t
WPT
, write-protection takes place.
As V
CC
falls past V
PFD
and approaches 3V, the control
circuitry switches to the internal lithium backup supply,
which provides data retention until valid V
CC
is applied.
When V
CC
returns to a level above the internal backup
cell voltage, the supply is switched back to V
CC
. After
V
CC
ramps above the V
PFD
threshold, write-protection
continues for a time t
CER
(120ms maximum) to allow for
processor stabilization. Normal memory operation may
resume after this time.
The internal coin cell used by the bq4013/Y has an ex-
tremely long shelf life and provides data retention for
more than 10 years in the absence of system power.
As shipped from Unitrode, the integral lithium cell of
the MT-type module is electrically isolated from the
memory. (Self-discharge in this condition is approxi-
mately 0.5% per year.) Following the first application of
V
CC
, this isolation is broken, and the lithium backup cell
provides data retention on subsequent power-downs.
The LIFETIME LITHIUM package option is shipped as
two parts.
