WRITE MODE
The M48T37Y/37V is in the Write Mode whenever
W and E are low. Thestart of a write is referenced
from the latter occurring falling edge of W or E. A
write is terminated by the earlier rising edge of W
or E. The addresses must be held valid throughout
the cycle. E or W must return high for a minimum
of t
EHAX
from Chip Enableor t
WHAX
from WriteEn-
able prior to the initiation of another read or write
cycle. Data-in must be valid t
DVWH
prior to the end
of write and remain valid for t
WHDX
afterward. G
should be kept high during write cycles to avoid
bus contention; although, if the output bus has
been activated by alow on Eand Ga low onW will
disable the outputs t
WLQZ
after W falls.
DATA RETENTION MODE
With valid V
CC
applied, the M48T37Y/37V oper-
ates as a conventional BYTEWIDE static RAM.
Should the Supply Voltage decay, the RAM will
automatically power-fail deselect, write protecting
itself when V
CC
falls within the V
PFD
(max), V
PFD
(min) window. All outputs become high imped-
ance, and all inputs are treated as ”don’t care”.
Note
: Apower failure during a write cycle maycor-
rupt data at the currently addressed location, but
does not jeopardizethe rest of theRAM’s content.
At voltages below V
PFD
(min), the user can be as-
sured the memory willbe ina write protectedstate,
provided the V
CC
fall time is not less than t
F
.
TheM48T37Y/37V may respond to transient noise
spikes on V
CC
that reach intothe deselect window
during thetime the device is sampling V
CC
. There-
fore, decoupling of the power supply lines is rec-
ommended.
When V
CC
drops below V
SO
, the control circuit
switches power to the internal battery which pre-
serves data and powers the clock. The internal
button cell will maintain data in the M48T37Y/37V
for an accumulated period of at least 7 years at
room temperature when V
CC
is less than V
SO
. As
system power returns and V
CC
rises above V
SO
,
the battery is disconnected, and the power supply
is switched to external V
CC
. Normal RAM opera-
tion can resume t
REC
after V
CC
reaches V
PFD
(max).
