The CY14B256K nvSRAM consists of two functional
components paired in the same physical cell. The components
are SRAM memory cell and a nonvolatile QuantumTrap cell. The
SRAM memory cell operates as a standard fast static RAM. Data
in the SRAM is transferred to the nonvolatile cell (the STORE
operation), or from the nonvolatile cell to SRAM (the RECALL
operation). Using this unique architecture, all cells are stored and
recalled in parallel. During the STORE and RECALL operations,
SRAM READ and WRITE operations are inhibited. The
CY14B256K supports infinite reads and writes similar to a typical
SRAM. In addition, it provides infinite RECALL operations from
the nonvolatile cells and up to 200K STORE operations.

AutoStore Operation
The CY14B256K stores data to nvSRAM using one of the three
storage operations:
Hardware STORE (HSB) Operation
1. Hardware store activated by HSB
The CY14B256K provides the HSB pin for controlling and
acknowledging the STORE operations. The HSB pin is used to
request a hardware STORE cycle. When the HSB pin is driven
low, the CY14B256K conditionally initiates a STORE operation

technology and is enabled by default on the CY14B256K.

The HSB pin also acts as an open drain driver that is internally

During any STORE operation, regardless of how it is initiated,
the CY14B256K continues to drive the HSB pin LOW, releasing
it only when the STORE is complete. After completing the
STORE operation, the CY14B256K remains disabled until the
HSB pin returns HIGH.
Software RECALL
Data is transferred from the nonvolatile memory to the SRAM by
a software address sequence. A software RECALL cycle is
initiated with a sequence of READ operations in a manner similar
to the software STORE initiation. To initiate the RECALL cycle,
the following sequence of CE controlled READ operations is
performed:
If HSB is not used, it is left unconnected.

HRECALL
Software STORE
Data is transferred from the SRAM to the nonvolatile memory by
a software address sequence. The CY14B256K software
STORE cycle is initiated by executing sequential CE controlled
READ cycles from six specific address locations in exact order.
During the STORE cycle, an erase of the previous nonvolatile
data is first performed, followed by a program of the nonvolatile
elements. After a STORE cycle is initiated, further READs and
WRITEs are inhibited untill the cycle is completed.
Internally, RECALL is a two step procedure. First, the SRAM data
is cleared and then the nonvolatile information is transferred into
the SRAM cells. After the t
cycle time, the SRAM is again

ready for READ and WRITE operations. The RECALL operation
in no way alters the data in the nonvolatile elements.
Data Protection
Because a sequence of READs from specific addresses is used
for STORE initiation, it is important that no other READ or WRITE
accesses intervene in the sequence. If it intervenes, the
sequence is aborted and no STORE or RECALL takes place.
The CY14B256K protects data from corruption during low
voltage conditions by inhibiting all externally initiated STORE
and WRITE operations. The low voltage condition is detected
when V is less than V
.
CC
SWITCH
To initiate the software STORE cycle, the following READ
sequence is performed:
If the CY14B256K is in a WRITE mode (both CE and WE are low)
at power up after a RECALL, or after a STORE, the WRITE is
inhibited until a negative transition on CE or WE is detected. This
protects against inadvertent writes during power up or brown out
conditions.

The CY14B256K consists of internal registers that contain clock,

use the last 16 address locations of the SRAM. Internal double

Clock Operations
Using a capacitor has the advantage of recharging the backup
source each time the system is powered up. If a battery is used,
a 3V lithium is recommended and the CY14B256K sources
current only from the battery when the primary power is removed.
The battery is not, however, recharged at any time by the
CY14B256K. The battery capacity must be chosen for total antic-
ipated cumulative down time required over the life of the system.
The Clock registers maintain time up to 9,999 years in one
second increments. The user sets the time to any calendar time
and the clock automatically keeps track of days of the week,
month, leap years, and century transitions. There are eight
registers dedicated to the clock functions that are used to set
time with a write cycle and to read time during a read cycle.
These registers contain the time of day in BCD format. Bits
defined as ‘0’ are currently not used and are reserved for future
use by Cypress.
Stopping and Starting the Oscillator
The OSCEN bit in the calibration register at 0x7FF8 controls the
enable and disable of the oscillator. This active LOW bit is
nonvolatile and is shipped to customers in the “enabled” (set to
0) state. To preserve the battery life when the system is in
storage, OSCEN bit must be set to ‘1’. This turns off the oscillator
circuit, extending the battery life. If the OSCEN bit goes from
disabled to enabled, it takes approximately 5 seconds (10
seconds maximum) for the oscillator to start.
Reading the Clock
The double buffered RTC register structure reduces the chance
of reading incorrect data from the clock. The user should stop
internal updates to the CY14B256K time keeping registers
before reading clock data, to prevent reading of data in transition.
Stopping the internal register updates does not affect clock
accuracy.
While system power is off, if the voltage on the backup supply
The updating process is stopped by writing a ‘1’ to the read bit
‘R’ (in the flags register at 0x7FF0), and does not restart until a
‘0’ is written to the read bit. The RTC registers are then read while
the internal clock continues to run. After a ‘0’ is written to the read
bit (‘R’), all CY14B256K registers are simultaneously updated
within 20 ms.

the oscillator may fail.The CY14B256K has the ability to detect
oscillator failure when system power is restored. This is recorded
in the OSCF (Oscillator Failed bit) of the Flags register at
address 0x7FF0. When the device is powered on (V
goes
CC

), the OSCEN bit is checked for “enabled” status.
SWITCH
If the OSCEN bit is enabled and the oscillator is not active within
the first 5 ms, the OSCF bit is set to “1”. The system must check
for this condition and then write ‘0’ to clear the flag. Note that in
addition to setting the OSCF flag bit, the time registers are reset
the value last written to the time keeping registers. The Control
or Calibration registers and the OSCEN bit are not affected by
the “oscillator failed” condition.
Setting the Clock
Setting the write bit ‘W’ (in the flags register at 0x7FF0) to a ‘1’
stops updates to the time keeping registers and enables the time
to be set. The correct day, date, and time is then written into the
registers in 24 hour BCD format. The time written is referred to
as the “Base Time”. This value is stored in nonvolatile registers
and used in the calculation of the current time. Resetting the
write bit to ‘0’ transfers the register values to the actual clock
counters, after which the clock resumes normal operation.
The value of OSCF must be reset to ‘0’ when the time registers
are written for the first time. This initializes the state of this bit
which may have become set when the system was first powered
on.

the match process. Depending on the match bits, the alarm
occurs as specifically as once a month or as frequently as once
every minute. Selecting none of the match bits (all 1s) indicates
that no match is required and therefore, alarm is disabled.
Selecting all match bits (all 0s) causes an exact time and date
match.
Calibrating the Clock
The RTC is driven by a quartz controlled oscillator with a nominal
frequency of 32.768 kHz. Clock accuracy depends on the quality
of the crystal and calibration. The crystal oscillators typically
have an error of +20ppm to +35ppm. However, CY14B256K
employs a calibration circuit that improves the accuracy to +1/–2
ppm at 25°C. This implies an error of +2.5 seconds to -5 seconds
per month.
There are two ways to detect an alarm event: by reading the AF
flag or monitoring the INT pin. The AF flag in the flags register at
0x7FF0 indicates that a date or time match has occurred. The
AF bit is set to “1” when a match occurs. Reading the flags or
control register clears the alarm flag bit (and all others). A
hardware interrupt pin may also be used to detect an alarm
event.
The calibration circuit adds or subtracts counts from the oscillator
divider circuit to achieve this accuracy. The number of pulses that
are suppressed (subtracted, negative calibration) or split (added,
positive calibration) depends upon the value loaded into the five
calibration bits found in Calibration register at 0x7FF8. The
calibration bits occupy the five lower order bits in the Calibration
register. These bits are set to represent any value between ‘0’
and 31 in binary form. Bit D5 is a sign bit, where a ‘1’ indicates
positive calibration and a ‘0’ indicates negative calibration.
Adding counts speeds the clock up and subtracting counts slows
the clock down. If a binary ‘1’ is loaded into the register, it corre-
sponds to an adjustment of 4.068 or –2.034 ppm offset in oscil-
lator error, depending on the sign.
Note CY14B256K requires the alarm match bit for seconds
(0x7FF2 - D7) to be set to ‘0’ for proper operation of Alarm Flag
and Interrupt.
Alarm registers are not nonvolatile and, therefore, need to be
reinitialized by software on power up. To set, clear or enable an
alarm, set the ‘W’ bit (in Flags Register - 0x7FF0) to ‘1’ to enable
writes to Alarm Registers. After writing the alarm value, clear the
‘W’ bit back to “0” for the changes to take effect.
Calibration occurs within a 64 minute cycle. The first 62 minutes
in the cycle may, once per minute, have one second shortened
by 128 or lengthened by 256 oscillator cycles. If a binary ‘1’ is
loaded into the register, only the first two minutes of the 64
minute cycle is modified. If a binary 6 is loaded, the first 12 are
affected, and so on. Therefore, each calibration step has the
effect of adding 512 or subtracting 256 oscillator cycles for every
125,829,120 actual oscillator cycles, that is, 4.068 or –2.034 ppm
of adjustment per calibration step in the Calibration register.
Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer is a free running down counter that uses
the 32 Hz clock (31.25 ms) derived from the crystal oscillator.
The oscillator must be running for the watchdog to function. It
begins counting down from the value loaded in the Watchdog
Timer register.
The timer consists of a loadable register and a free running
counter. On power up, the watchdog time out value in register
0x7FF7 is loaded into the Counter Load register. Counting
begins on power up and restarts from the loadable value any time
the Watchdog Strobe (WDS) bit is set to ‘1’. The counter is
compared to the terminal value of ‘0’. If the counter reaches this
value, it causes an internal flag and an optional interrupt output.
You can prevent the time out interrupt by setting WDS bit to ‘1’
prior to the counter reaching ‘0’. This causes the counter to
reload with the watchdog time out value and to be restarted. As
long as the user sets the WDS bit prior to the counter reaching
the terminal value, the interrupt and WDF flag never occur.
To determine the required calibration, the CAL bit in the Flags
register (0x7FF0) must be set to ‘1’. This causes the INT pin to
toggle at a nominal frequency of 512 Hz. Any deviation
measured from the 512 Hz indicates the degree and direction of
the required correction. For example, a reading of 512.01024 Hz
indicates a +20 ppm error. Hence, a decimal value of –10
(001010b) must be loaded into the Calibration register to offset
this error.
Note Setting or changing the Calibration register does not affect
the test output frequency.
New time out values are written by setting the watchdog write bit
to ‘0’. When the WDW is ‘0’, new writes to the watchdog time out
value bits D5-D0 are enabled to modify the time out value. When
WDW is ‘1’, writes to bits D5-D0 are ignored. The WDW function
enables a user to set the WDS bit without concern that the
watchdog timer value is modified. A logical diagram of the
watchdog time out value to ‘0’ disables the watchdog function.
To set or clear CAL, set the write bit “W” (in the flags register at
0x7FF0) to “1” to enable writes to the Flag register. Write a value
to CAL, and then reset the write bit to “0” to disable writes.
Alarm
The alarm function compares user programmed values of alarm
time and date (stored in the registers 0x7FF1-5) with the corre-
sponding time of day and date values. When a match occurs, the
alarm internal flag (AF) is set and an interrupt is generated on
INT pin if Alarm Interrupt Enable (AIE) bit is set.
The output of the watchdog timer is the flag bit WDF that is set if
the watchdog is allowed to time out. The flag is set upon a
watchdog time out and cleared when the user reads the Flags or
Control registers. If the watchdog time out occurs, the user also
enables an optional interrupt source to drive the INT pin.
There are four alarm match fields - date, hours, minutes, and
seconds. Each of these fields has a match bit that is used to
determine if the field is used in the alarm match logic. Setting the
match bit to ‘0’ indicates that the corresponding field is used in

register is enabled (set to ‘1’). After an interrupt source is active,
two programmable bits, H/L and P/L, determine the behavior of
the output pin driver on INT pin. These two bits are located in the
Interrupt register and can be used to drive level or pulse mode
output from the INT pin. In pulse mode, the pulse width is
internally fixed at approximately 200 ms. This mode is intended
to reset a host microcontroller. In the level mode, the pin goes to
its active polarity until the Flags register is read by the user. This
mode is used as an interrupt to a host microcontroller. The
control bits are summarized in the following section.

When an enabled interrupt source activates the INT pin, an
external host reads the Flags registers to determine the cause.
Remember that all flags are cleared when the register is read. If
the INT pin is programmed for Level mode, then the condition
clears and the INT pin returns to its inactive state. If the pin is
programmed for Pulse mode, then reading the flag also clears
the flag and the pin. The pulse does not complete its specified
duration if the Flags register is read. If the INT pin is used as a
host reset, then the Flags or Control register is not read during a
reset.

Interrupts
The CY14B256K has a Flags register, Interrupt register and
Interrupt logic that can signal interrupt to the microcontroller.
There are three potential sources for interrupt: watchdog timer,
power monitor, and alarm timer. Each of these can be individually
enabled to drive the INT pin by appropriate setting in the Interrupt
register (0x7FF6). In addition, each has an associated flag bit in
the Flags register (0x7FF0) that the host processor uses to
determine the cause of the interrupt. The INT pin driver has two
bits that specify its behavior when an interrupt occurs.
Flags Register
The Flag register has three flag bits: WDF, AF, and PF, which can
be used to generate an interrupt. These flags are set by the
watchdog timeout, alarm match, or power fail monitor respec-
tively. The processor can either poll this register or enable inter-
rupts to be informed when a flag is set. These flags are automat-
ically reset once the register is read. The flags register is
automatically loaded with the value 00h on power up (except for
An Interrupt is raised only if both a flag is raised by one of the
three sources and the respective interrupt enable bit in Interrupts

Oscillator Fail Flag. Set to 1 on power up if the oscillator is enabled and not running in the first 5 ms of operation. This

Write Enable: Setting the W bit to 1 freezes updatesof the RTC registers. The user can then write to RTC registers, Alarm

registers to be transferred to the time keeping counters if the time has been changed (a new base time is loaded). This
bit defaults to 0 on power up.

Notes
22. Read and Write cycles in progress before HSB are given this amount of time to complete.
23. This is the amount of time it takes to take action on a soft sequence command. Vcc power must remain HIGH to effectively register command.
24. Commands such as STORE and RECALL lock out IO until operation is complete which further increases this time. See specific command.
