Overview
The Cypress CY14C256I/CY14B256I/CY14E256I combines a
256-Kbit nvSRAM[2] with a full-featured RTC in a monolithic
integrated circuit with serial I2C interface. The memory is
organized as 64 K words of 8 bits each. The embedded
nonvolatile elements incorporate the QuantumTrap technology,
creating the world’s most reliable nonvolatile memory. The
SRAM provides infinite read and write cycles, while the
QuantumTrap cells provide highly reliable nonvolatile storage of
data. Data transfers from SRAM to the nonvolatile elements
(STORE operation) takes place automatically at power-down.
On power-up, data is restored to the SRAM from the nonvolatile
memory (RECALL operation). The STORE and RECALL
operations can also be initiated by the user through I2C
commands.

(0) operation. All signals are transmitted on the open-drain SDA
line and are synchronized with the clock on SCL line. Each byte
of data transmitted on the I2C bus is acknowledged by the
receiver by holding the SDA line LOW on the ninth clock pulse.
The request for write by the master is followed by the memory
address and data bytes on the SDA line. The writes can be
performed in burst-mode by sending multiple bytes of data. The
memory address increments automatically after the
receive/transmit of each byte on the falling edge of the ninth
clock cycle. The new address is latched just prior to
sending/receiving the acknowledgment bit. This allows the next
sequential byte to be accessed with no additional addressing. On
reaching the last memory location, the address rolls back to
0x0000 and writes continue. The slave responds to each byte
sent by the master during a write operation with an ACK. A write
sequence can be terminated by the master generating a STOP
or Repeated START condition.
I C Interface
I2C bus consists of two lines – serial clock line (SCL) and serial
data line (SDA) – that carry information between multiple devices
on the bus. I2C supports multi-master and multi-slave
configurations. The data is transmitted from the transmitter to the
receiver on the SDA line and is synchronized with the clock SCL
generated by the master.
The SCL and SDA lines are open-drain lines and are pulled up
to VCC using resistors. The choice of a pull-up resistor on the
system depends on the bus capacitance and the intended speed
of operation. The master generates the clock, and all the data
I/Os are transmitted in synchronization with this clock. The
CY14X256I supports up to 3.4 MHz clock speed on SCL line.
Protocol Overview
This device supports only a 7-bit addressable scheme. The
A read request is performed at the current address location
(address next to the last location accessed for read or write). The
memory slave device responds to a read request by transmitting
the data on the current address location to the master. A random
address read may also be performed by first sending a write
request with the intended address of read. The master must
abort the write immediately after the last address byte and issue
a Repeated START or STOP signal to prevent any write
operation. The following read operation starts from this address.
The master acknowledges the receipt of one byte of data by
holding the SDA pin LOW for the ninth clock pulse. The reads
can be terminated by the master sending a no-acknowledge
(NACK) signal on the SDA line after the last data byte. The NACK
signal causes the CY14X256I to release the SDA line and the
master can then generate a STOP or a Repeated START
condition to initiate a new operation.
master generates
a
START condition to initiate the
communication followed by broadcasting a slave select byte.
The slave select byte consists of a 7-bit slave address that the
master intends to communicate with and R/W bit indicating a
read or a write operation. The selected slave responds to this
with an acknowledgement (ACK). After a slave is selected, the
remaining part of the communication takes place between the
master and the selected slave device. The other devices on the
bus ignore the signals on the SDA line until a STOP or Repeated
START condition is detected. The data transfer is done between
the master and the selected slave device through the SDA pin
synchronized with the SCL clock generated by the master.
I2C Protocol – Data Transfer
Each transaction in I2C protocol starts with the master
generating a START condition on the bus, followed by a 7-bit
slave address and eighth bit (R/W) indicating a read (1) or a write

Data Validity
STOP Condition (P)
The data on the SDA line must be stable during the HIGH period
of the clock. The state of the data line can only change when the
clock on the SCL line is LOW for the data to be valid. There are
only two conditions under which the SDA line may change state
with SCL line held HIGH: START and STOP condition. The
START and STOP conditions are generated by the master to
signal the beginning and end of a communication sequence on
the I2C bus.
A LOW to HIGH transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH
indicates a STOP condition. This condition indicates the end of
the ongoing transaction.
START and STOP conditions are always generated by the
master. The bus is considered to be busy after the START
condition. The bus is considered to be free again after the STOP
condition.
Repeated START (Sr)
START Condition (S)
If a Repeated START condition is generated instead of a STOP
condition, the bus continues to be busy. The ongoing transaction
on the I2C lines is stopped and the bus waits for the master to
send a slave ID for communication to restart.
A HIGH to LOW transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH
indicates a START condition. Every transaction in I2C begins
with the master generating a START condition.

Byte Format
Each operation in I2C is done using 8-bit words. The bits are sent
in MSB first format on SDA line and each byte is followed by an
ACK signal by the receiver.
NACK can be generated by master during a READ operation in
following cases:
An operation continues till a NACK is sent by the receiver or
STOP or Repeated START condition is generated by the master
The SDA line must remain stable when the clock (SCL) is HIGH
except for a START or STOP condition.
■ The master did not receive valid data due to noise.
■ The master generates a NACK to abort the READ sequence.
After a NACK is issued by the master, nvSRAM slave releases
control of the SDA pin and the master is free to generate a
Repeated START or STOP condition.
Acknowledge / No-acknowledge
NACK can be generated by nvSRAM slave during a WRITE
operation in these cases:
After transmitting one byte of data or address, the transmitter
releases the SDA line. The receiver pulls the SDA line LOW to
acknowledge the receipt of the byte. Every byte of data
transferred on the I2C bus needs a response with an ACK signal
by the receiver to continue the operation. Failing to do so is
considered as a NACK state. NACK is the state where receiver
■ nvSRAM did not receive valid data due to noise.
■ The master tries to access write protected locations on the
nvSRAM. Master must restart the communication by
generating a STOP or Repeated START condition.

In Hs-mode, nvSRAM can transfer data at bit rates of up to
3.4 Mbit/s. A master code (0000 1XXXb) must be issued to place
the device in high-speed mode. This enables master/slave
communication for speeds up to 3.4 MHz. A stop condition will
exit Hs-mode.
Single and multiple-byte reads and writes are supported. After
the device enters into Hs-mode, data transfer continues in
Hs-mode until stop condition is sent by master device. The slave
switches back to F/S-mode after a STOP condition (P). To
continue data transfer in Hs-mode, the master sends Repeated
START (Sr).
Serial Data Format in Hs-mode
Serial data transfer format in Hs-mode meets the standard-mode
I2C-bus specification. Hs-mode can only commence after the
following conditions (all of which are in F/S-modes):

Control Registers. The accessing mechanism is described in the
following section.
Slave Device Address
Every slave device on an I2C bus has a device select address.
The first byte after START condition contains the slave device
address with which the master intends to communicate. The
seven MSBs are the device address and the LSB (R/W bit) is
used for indicating Read or Write operation. The CY14X256I
reserves three sets of upper 4 MSBs [7:4] in the slave device
address field for accessing the Memory, RTC Registers, and
The nvSRAM product provides three different functionalities:
Memory, RTC Registers and Control Registers functions (such
as serial number and product ID). The three functions of the
device are accessed through different slave device addresses.
The first four most significant bits [7:4] in the device address
register are used to select between the nvSRAM functions.

RTC Registers Slave Device
The nvSRAM device is selected for read/write if the master
issues the slave address as 1010b followed by three bits of
device select. If the slave address sent by the master matches
with the Memory Slave device address then depending on the
R/W bit of the slave address, the data will be either read from
(R/W = ‘1’) or written to (R/W = ‘0’) the nvSRAM.
The RTC Registers is selected for read/write if the master issues
the slave address as 1101b followed by three bits of device
select. Then, depending on the R/W bit of the slave address,
data is either read from (R/W = ‘1’) or written to (R/W = ‘0’) the
RTC Registers. The RTC Registers slave address is followed by
one byte address of RTC Register for read/write operation. The
RTC Registers map is explained in the Table 10.
The address length for CY14X256I is 15 bits, and thus it requires
two address bytes to map the entire memory address location.
The dedicated two address bytes represent bit A0 to A14.
However, since the address is only 15-bits, it implies that the first
MSB bit that is fed in is ignored by the device. Although this bit
is ‘don’t care’, Cypress recommends that this bit is treated as 0
to enable seamless transition to higher memory densities.

initiated if no write cycle has been performed since the last
STORE or RECALL.
Note If a capacitor is not connected to VCAP pin, AutoStore must
be disabled by issuing the AutoStore Disable instruction
specified in Command Register on page 8. If AutoStore is
enabled without a capacitor on VCAP pin, the device attempts an
AutoStore operation without sufficient charge to complete the
Store. This will corrupt the data stored in nvSRAM as well as the
serial number and it will unlock the SNL bit.
■ SLEEP: SLEEP instruction puts the nvSRAM in a sleep mode.
When the SLEEP instruction is registered, the nvSRAM takes
tSS time to process the SLEEP request. Once the SLEEP
command is successfully registered and processed, the
nvSRAM toggles HSB LOW, performs a STORE operation to
secure the data to nonvolatile memory and then enters into
SLEEP mode. Whenever nvSRAM enters into sleep mode, it
initiates non volatile STORE cycle which results in losing an
endurance cycle per sleep command execution. A STORE
cycle starts only if a write to the SRAM has been performed
since the last STORE or RECALL cycle.
Figure 10 shows the proper connection of the storage capacitor
(VCAP
) for AutoStore operation. See the DC Electrical
Characteristics on page 29 for the size of the VCAP
.
Figure 10. AutoStore Mode
The nvSRAM enters into sleep mode in this manner:
1. The master sends a START command.
VCC
2. The master sends Control Registers Slave device ID with I2C
write bit set (R/W = ’0’).
0.1 uF
3. The slave (nvSRAM) sends an ACK back to the master.
4. The master sends Command Register address (0xAA).
5. The slave (nvSRAM) sends an ACK back to the master.

6. The master sends Command Register byte for entering into
sleep mode.

7. The slave (nvSRAM) sends an ACK back to the master.
8. The master generates a STOP condition.

VSS
Once in sleep mode, the device starts consuming IZZ current
t
SLEEP time after SLEEP instruction is registered. The device is
not accessible for normal operations until it is out of sleep mode.
The nvSRAM wakes up after tWAKE duration after the device
slave address is transmitted by the master.
Hardware STORE and HSB pin Operation
Transmitting any of the three slave addresses wakes the
nvSRAM from sleep mode. The nvSRAM device is not
accessible during tSLEEP and tWAKE interval and any attempt to
access the nvSRAM device by the master is ignored and
nvSRAM sends NACK to the master. An alternate method of
determining when the device is ready is for the master to send
read or write commands and look for an ACK.
The HSB pin in CY14X256I is used to control and acknowledge
STORE operations. If no STORE or RECALL is in progress, this
pin can be used to request a Hardware STORE cycle. When the
HSB pin is driven LOW, the device conditionally initiates a
STORE operation after tDELAY duration. An actual STORE cycle
starts only if a write to the SRAM has been performed since the
last STORE or RECALL cycle. Reads and Writes to the memory
are inhibited for tSTORE duration or as long as HSB pin is LOW.
Write Protection (WP)
The HSB pin also acts as an open drain driver (internal 100 k
weak pull-up resistor) that is internally driven LOW to indicate a
busy condition when the STORE (initiated by any means) is in
progress.
The Write Protect (WP) pin is an active HIGH pin and protects
the entire memory and all registers from write operations. To
inhibit all the write operations, this pin must be held HIGH. When
this pin is HIGH, all memory and register writes are prohibited
and the address counter is not incremented. This pin is internally
pulled LOW and, therefore, can be left open if not used.
Note After each Hardware and Software STORE operation HSB
is driven HIGH for a short time (tHHHD) with standard output high
current and then remains HIGH by internal 100 k pull-up
resistor.
AutoStore Operation
The AutoStore operation is a unique feature of nvSRAM that
automatically stores the SRAM data to QuantumTrap cells
during power-down. This STORE makes use of an external
capacitor (VCAP) and enables the device to safely STORE the
data in the nonvolatile memory when power goes down.
Note For successful last data byte STORE, a hardware STORE
should be initiated at least one clock cycle after the last data bit
D0 is received.
Upon completion of the STORE operation, the nvSRAM memory
access is inhibited for tLZHSB time after HSB pin returns HIGH.
Leave the HSB pin unconnected if not used.
During normal operation, the device draws current from VCC to
charge the capacitor connected to the VCAP pin. When the
voltage on the VCC pin drops below VSWITCH during power-down,
the device inhibits all memory accesses to nvSRAM and
automatically performs a conditional STORE operation using the
charge from the VCAP capacitor. The AutoStore operation is not
Hardware RECALL (Power Up)
During power-up, when VCC crosses VSWITCH, an automatic
RECALL sequence is initiated that transfers the content of
nonvolatile memory to the SRAM. The data may have been

previously stored on the nonvolatile memory through a STORE
sequence.
Read Operation
If the last bit of the slave device address is ‘1’, a read operation
is assumed and the nvSRAM takes control of the SDA line
immediately after the slave device address byte is sent out by
the master. The read operation starts from the current address
location (the location following the previous successful write or
read operation). When the last address is reached, the address
counter loops back to the first address.
A Power Up RECALL cycle takes tFA time to complete and the
memory access is disabled during this time. HSB pin can be
used to detect the ready status of the device.
Write Operation
The last bit of the slave device address indicates a read or a write
operation. In case of a write operation, the slave device address
is followed by the memory or register address and data. A write
operation continues as long as a STOP or Repeated START
condition is generated by the master or if a NACK is issued by
the nvSRAM.
In case of the Control Register Slave, whenever a burst read is
performed such that it flows to a non-existent address, the reads
operation loops back to 0x00. This is applicable, in particular, for
the Command Register.
Read operation can be ended using the following methods:
A NACK is issued from the nvSRAM under the following
conditions:
1. The master issues a NACK on the ninth clock cycle followed
by a STOP or a Repeated START condition on the tenth clock
cycle.
1. A valid Device ID is not received.
2. A write (burst write) access to a protected memory block
address returns a NACK from nvSRAM after the data byte is
received. However, the address counter is set to this address
and the following current read operation starts from this
address.
2. The master generates a STOP or Repeated START condition
on the ninth clock cycle.
More details on write instruction are provided in the section
Memory Slave Access.
3. A write/random read access to an invalid or out-of-bound
memory address returns a NACK from the nvSRAM after the
address is received. The address counter remains unchanged
in such a case.
Memory Slave Access
The following sections describe the data transfer sequence
required to perform read or write operations from nvSRAM.
After a NACK is sent out from the nvSRAM, the write operation
is terminated and any data on the SDA line is ignored till a STOP
or a Repeated START condition is generated by the master.
Write nvSRAM
Each write operation consists of a slave address being
transmitted after the start condition. The last bit of slave address
must be set as ‘0’ to indicate a Write operation. The master may
write one byte of data or continue writing multiple consecutive
address locations while the internal address counter keeps
incrementing automatically. The address register is reset to
0x0000 after the last address in memory is accessed. The write
operation continues till a STOP or Repeated START condition is
generated by the master or a NACK is issued by the nvSRAM.
For example, consider a case where the burst write access is
performed on Control Register Slave address 0x01 for writing the
serial number and continued to the address 0x09, which is a
read-only register. The device returns a NACK and address
counter is not incremented. A following read operation is started
from the address 0x09. Further, any write operation which starts
from a write protected address (say, 0x09) is responded by the
nvSRAM with a NACK after the data byte is sent and set the
address counter to this address. A following read operation starts
from the address 0x09 in this case also.
A write operation is executed only after nvSRAM receives all the
eight data bits. The nvSRAM sends an ACK signal after a
successful write operation. A write operation may be terminated
by the master by generating a STOP condition or a Repeated
START operation. If the master desires to abort the current write
operation without altering the memory contents, this should be
done using a START/STOP condition prior to the eighth data bit.
Note In case you try to read/write access an address that does
not exist (for example 0x0D in Control Register Slave or 0x3F in
RTC registers), nvSRAM responds with a NACK immediately
after the out-of-bound address is transmitted. The address
counter remains unchanged and holds the previous successful
read or write operation address.
If the master tries to access a write protected memory address
on the nvSRAM, a NACK is returned after the data byte intended
to write the protected address is transmitted and address counter
will not be incremented. Similarly, in a burst mode write
operation, a NACK is returned when the data byte that attempts
to write a protected memory location and the address counter is
not incremented.
A write operation is performed internally with no delay after the
eighth bit of data is transmitted. If a write operation is not
intended, the master must terminate the write operation before
the eighth clock cycle by generating a STOP or Repeated
START condition.
More details on write instructions are provided in the section
Memory Slave Access.

out-of-bound address. The address is not incremented and the
next current read operation begins from this address location. If
a write operation is attempted on an out-of-bound address
location, the nvSRAM sends a NACK immediately after the
address byte is sent.
Control Registers Slave
The following sections describe the data transfer sequence
required to perform read or write operations from Control
Registers Slave.
Write Control Registers
Further, if the serial number is locked, only two addresses (0xAA
or Command Register, and 0x00 or Memory Control Register)
are writable in the Control Registers Slave. On a write operation
to any other address location, the device will acknowledge
command byte and address bytes but it returns a NACK from the
control Registers Slave for data bytes. In this case, the address
will not be incremented and a current read will happen from the
last acknowledged address.
To write the Control Registers Slave, the master transmits the
Control Registers Slave address after generating the START
condition. The write sequence continues from the address
location specified by the master till the master generates a STOP
condition or the last writable address location.
If a non-writable address location is accessed for write operation
during a normal write or a burst, the slave generates a NACK
after the data byte is sent and the write sequence terminates.
Any following data bytes are ignored and the address counter is
not incremented.
The nvSRAM Control Registers Slave sends a NACK when an
out of bound memory address is accessed for write operation, by
the master. In such a case, a following current read operation
begins from the last acknowledged address.
If a write operation is performed on the Command Register
(0xAA), the following current read operation also begins from the

Serial Number
Serial number is an 8 byte memory space provided to the user
to uniquely identify this device. It typically consists of a two byte
customer ID, followed by five bytes of unique serial number and
one byte of CRC check. However, nvSRAM does not calculate
the CRC and it is up to the user to utilize the eight byte memory
space in the desired format. The default values for the eight byte
locations are set to ‘0x00’.
Serial Number Lock
After writes to serial number registers is complete, the master is
responsible for locking the serial number by setting the serial
number lock bit to ‘1’ in the Memory Control Register (0x00). The
content of Memory Control Register and serial number are
secured on the next STORE operation (STORE or AutoStore). If
AutoStore is not enabled, user must perform the STORE
operation to secure the lock bit status.
Serial Number Write
The serial number can be accessed through the Control
Registers Slave Device. To write the serial number, master
transmits the Control Registers Slave address after the START
condition and writes to the address location from 0x01 to 0x08.
The content of Serial Number registers is secured to nonvolatile
memory on the next STORE operation. If AutoStore is enabled,
nvSRAM automatically stores the serial number in the
nonvolatile memory on power-down. However, if AutoStore is
disabled, user must perform a STORE operation to secure the
contents of Serial Number registers.
If a STORE was not performed, the serial number lock bit will not
survive the power cycle. The serial number lock bit and 8-byte
serial number is defaults to ‘0’ at power-up.
Serial Number Read
Serial number can be read back by a read operation of the
intended address of the Control Registers Slave. The Control
Registers Device loops back from the last address (excluding the
Command Register) to 0x00 address location while performing
burst read operation. The serial number resides in the locations
from 0x01 to 0x08. Even if the serial number is not locked, a
serial number read operation returns the current values written
to the serial number registers. The master may perform a serial
number read operation to confirm if the correct serial number is
written to the registers before setting the lock bit.
Note If the serial number lock (SNL) bit is not set, the serial
number registers can be re-written regardless of whether or not
a STORE has happened. After the serial number lock bit is set,
no writes to the serial number registers are allowed. If the master
tries to perform a write operation to the serial number registers

Device ID is a 4-byte code consisting of JEDEC assigned manufacturer ID, product ID, density ID, and die revision. These registers
are set in the factory and are read only registers for the user.

The device ID is divided into four parts as shown in Table 6:
1. Manufacturer ID (11 bits)
4. Die Rev (3 bits)
This is used to represent any major change in the design of the
product. The initial setting of this is always 0x0.
This is the JEDEC assigned manufacturer ID for Cypress.
JEDEC assigns the manufacturer ID in different banks. The first
three bits of the manufacturer ID represent the bank in which ID
is assigned. The next eight bits represent the manufacturer ID.
Executing Commands Using Command Register
The Control Registers Slave allows different commands to be
executed by writing the specific command byte in the Command
Register (0xAA). The command byte codes for each command
are specified in Table 5 on page 8. During the execution of these
commands the device is not accessible and returns a NACK if
any of the three slave devices is selected. If an invalid command
is sent by the master, the nvSRAM responds with an ACK
indicating that the command has been acknowledged with NOP
(No Operation). The address will rollover to 0x00 location.
Cypress manufacturer ID is 0x34 in bank 0. Therefore the
manufacturer ID for all Cypress nvSRAM products is as given
below:
Cypress ID - 000_0011_0100
2. Product ID (14 bits)
The product ID for device is shown in the Table 6.
3. Density ID (4 bits)
The 4-bit density ID is used as shown in Table 6 for indicating the
256 Kb density of the product.

RTC time keeping counters in tRTCp time. These counter values
must be saved to nonvolatile memory either by initiating a
Software/Hardware STORE or AutoStore operation. While
working in AutoStore disabled mode, perform a STORE
operation after tRTCp time while writing into the RTC registers for
the modifications to be correctly recorded.
Real Time Clock Operation
nvTIME Operation
The CY14X256I offers internal registers that contain clock,
alarm, watchdog, interrupt, and control functions. The RTC
registers occupy a separate address space from nvSRAM and
are accessible through the Read RTC register and Write RTC
register sequence on register addresses 0x00 to 0x0F. Internal
double buffering of the clock and the timer information registers
prevents accessing transitional internal clock data during a read
or write operation. Double buffering also circumvents disrupting
normal timing counts or the clock accuracy of the internal clock
when accessing clock data. Clock and alarm registers store data
in BCD format.
Backup Power
The RTC in the CY14X256I is intended for permanently powered
operation. The VRTCcap or VRTCbat pin is connected depending
on whether a capacitor or battery is chosen for the application.
When the primary power, VCC, fails and drops below VSWITCH
the device switches to the backup power supply.
The clock oscillator uses very little current, which maximizes the
backup time available from the backup source. Regardless of the
clock operation with the primary source removed, the data stored
in the nvSRAM is secure, having been stored in the nonvolatile
elements when power was lost.
Clock Operations
The clock registers maintain time up to 9,999 years in
one-second increments. The time can be set to any calendar
time and the clock automatically keeps track of days of the week
and month, leap years, and century transitions. There are eight
registers dedicated to the clock functions, which are used to set
time with a write cycle and to read time with 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.
During backup operation, the CY14X256I consumes a 0.45 µA
(Typ) at room temperature. The user must choose capacitor or
battery values according to the application.
Backup time values based on maximum current specifications
are shown in the following table. Nominal backup times are
approximately two times longer.
Table 7. RTC Backup Time
Reading the Clock

Capacitor Value
The double buffered RTC register structure reduces the chance
of reading incorrect data from the clock. Internal updates to the
CY14X256I time keeping registers are stopped when the read bit
‘R’ (in the flags register at 0x00) is set to ‘1’ before reading clock
data to prevent reading of data in transition. Stopping the register
updates does not affect clock accuracy.

When a read sequence of RTC device is initiated, the update of
the user timekeeping registers stops and does not restart until a
STOP or a Repeated START condition is generated. The RTC
registers are read while the internal clock continues to run. After
the end of read sequence, all the RTC registers are
simultaneously updated within 20 ms.
Using a capacitor has the obvious advantage of recharging the
backup source each time the system is powered up. If a battery
backup is used, a 3-V lithium battery is recommended and the
CY14X256I sources current only from the battery when the
primary power is removed. However, the battery is not recharged
at any time by the CY14X256I. The battery capacity must be
chosen for total anticipated cumulative down time required over
the life of the system.
Setting the Clock
A write access to the RTC device stops updates to the time
keeping registers and enables the time to be set when the write
bit ‘W’ (in the flags register at 0x00) is set to ‘1’. The correct day,
date, and time is then written into the registers and must be 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. When the write bit ‘W’ is
cleared by writing ‘0’ to it and a STOP or Repeated START
condition is encountered, the values of timekeeping registers are
transferred to the actual clock counters after which the clock
resumes normal operation. If a valid STOP or Repeated START
condition is not generated by the master, the time written to the
RTC registers is never transferred to the actual clock counters.
Stopping and Starting the Oscillator
The OSCEN bit in the calibration register at 0x08 controls the
enable and disable of the oscillator. This 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
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 one second (two seconds maximum) for
the oscillator to start.
While system power is off, if the voltage on the backup supply
(VRTCcap or VRTCbat) falls below their respective minimum level,
the oscillator may fail.The CY14X256I has the ability to detect
oscillator failure when system power is restored. This is recorded
in the Oscillator Fail Flag (OSCF) of the flags register at the
address 0x00. When the device is powered on (VCC goes above
If the time written to the timekeeping registers is not in the correct
BCD format, each invalid nibble of the RTC registers continue
counting to 0xF before rolling over to 0x0 after which RTC
resumes normal operation.

CY14B256I
CY14E256I
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.
Alarm
The alarm function compares user programmed values of alarm
time and date (stored in the registers 0x01-5) with the
corresponding 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.
Note that in addition to setting the OSCF flag bit, the time
registers are reset to the ‘Base Time’, which is the value last
written to the timekeeping registers. The control or calibration
registers and the OSCEN bit are not affected by the ‘oscillator
failed’ condition.
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
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.
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.
To reset OSCF, set the write bit ‘W’ (in the flags register at 0x00)
to a ‘1’ to enable writes to the flags register. Write a ‘0’ to the
OSCF bit and then reset the write bit to ‘0’ to disable writes.
Calibrating the Clock
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
0x00 indicates that a date or time match has occurred. The AF
bit is set to ‘1’ when a match occurs. Reading the flags register
clears the alarm flag bit (and all others). A hardware interrupt pin
may also be used to detect an alarm event.
The RTC is driven by a quartz-controlled crystal with a nominal
frequency of 32.768 kHz. Clock accuracy depends on the quality
of the crystal and calibration. The crystals available in the market
typically have an error of +20 ppm to +35 ppm. However,
CY14X256I 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.
To set, clear or enable an alarm, set the ‘W’ bit (in flags register
- 0x00) 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.
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 the calibration register at 0x08. 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
corresponds to an adjustment of 4.068 or –2.034 ppm offset in
oscillator error, depending on the sign.
Note CY14X256I requires the alarm match bit for seconds (bit
‘D7’ in Alarm-Seconds register 0x02) to be set to ‘0’ for proper
operation of Alarm Flag and Interrupt.
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.
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 are 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.
The timer consists of a loadable register and a free running
counter. On power-up, the watchdog time out value in register
0x07 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 WDT flag never occur.
To determine the required calibration, the CAL bit in the flags
register (0x00) 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.
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 timer is shown in Figure 36 on page 22. Note that
setting the watchdog time out value to ‘0’ disables the watchdog
function.
Note Setting or changing the calibration register does not affect
the test output frequency.
To set or clear CAL, set the write bit ‘W’ (in the flags register at
0x00) to ‘1’ to enable writes to the flags register. Write a value to
CAL, and then reset the write bit to ‘0’ to disable writes.
The output of the watchdog timer is the flag bit WDF that is set if
the watchdog is allowed to time out. If the watchdog interrupt

is set in the event of backup voltage falling lower than VBAKFAIL
The backup power is monitored even while the RTC is running
in backup mode. Low voltage detected during backup mode is
flagged through the BPF flag. BPF can hold the data only until a
defined low level of the back up voltage (VDR).

Interrupts
The CY14X256I 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 (0x06). In addition, each has an associated flag bit in the
flags register (0x00) 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.

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
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.

Programmable Square Wave Generator
The square wave generator block uses the crystal output to
generate a desired frequency on the INT pin of the device. The
output frequency can be programmed to be one of the following:
1. 1 Hz
Interrupts are only generated while working on normal power and
are not triggered when system is running in backup power mode.
2. 512 Hz
3. 4096 Hz
4. 32768 Hz
Note CY14X256I generates valid interrupts only after the
Powerup RECALL sequence is completed. All events on INT pin
must be ignored for tFA duration after powerup.
The square wave output is not generated while the device is
running on backup power.
Interrupt Register
Watchdog Interrupt Enable (WIE): When set to ‘1’, the
watchdog timer drives the INT pin and an internal flag when a
watchdog time out occurs. When WIE is set to ‘0’, the watchdog
timer only affects the WDF flag in flags register.
Power Monitor
The CY14X256I provides a power management scheme with
power fail interrupt capability. It also controls the internal switch
to back up power for the clock and protects the memory from low
Alarm Interrupt Enable (AIE): When set to ‘1’, the alarm match
drives the INT pin and an internal flag. When AIE is set to ‘0’, the
alarm match only affects the AF flag in the flags register.
V
CC access. The power monitor is based on an internal band gap
reference circuit that compares the VCC voltage to VSWITCH
threshold.
Power Fail Interrupt Enable (PFE): When set to ‘1’, the power
fail monitor drives the pin and an internal flag. When PFE is set
to ‘0’, the power fail monitor only affects the PF flag in the flags
register.
When VSWITCH is reached, as VCC decays from power loss, a
data store operation is initiated from SRAM to the nonvolatile
elements, securing the last SRAM data state. Power is also
switched from VCC to the backup supply (battery or capacitor) to
operate the RTC oscillator.
Square Wave Enable (SQWE): When set to ‘1’, a square wave
of programmable frequency is generated on the INT pin. The
frequency is decided by the SQ1 and SQ0 bits of the interrupts
register. This bit is nonvolatile and survives power cycle. The
SQWE bit overrides all other interrupts. However, CAL bit will
take precedence over the square wave generator. This bit
defaults to ‘0’ from the factory.
When operating from the backup source, read and write opera-
tions to nvSRAM are inhibited and the RTC functions are not
available to the user. The RTC clock continues to operate in the
background. The updated RTC time keeping registers are
available to the user after VCC is restored to the device (see
nvSRAM Specifications on page 33).
High/Low (H/L): When set to a ‘1’, the INT pin is active HIGH
and the driver mode is push pull. The INT pin drives HIGH only
when VCC is greater than VSWITCH. When set to a ‘0’, the INT pin
is active LOW and the drive mode is open drain. The INT pin
must be pulled up to Vcc by a 10 k resistor while using the
interrupt in active LOW mode.
Backup Power Monitor
The CY14X256I provides a backup power monitoring system
that detects the backup power (either battery or capacitor
backup) failure. The backup power fail flag (BPF) is issued on
the next power-up in case of backup power failure. The BPF flag

Pulse/Level (P/L): When set to a ‘1’ and an interrupt occurs, the
INT pin is driven for approximately 200 ms. When P/L is set to a
‘0’, the INT pin is driven HIGH or LOW (determined by H/L) until
the flags register is read.

The flags 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
respectively. The processor can either poll this register or enable
interrupts to be informed when a flag is set. These flags are
automatically reset after the register is read. The flags register is
automatically loaded with the value 0x00 on power-up (except
for the OSCF bit. See Stopping and Starting the Oscillator on
page 20).
32768 Hz Oscillator output frequency
When an enabled interrupt source activates the INT pin, an
external host reads the flag 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, the flags register is not read during a reset.

WDS
Watchdog Strobe. Setting this bit to ‘1’ reloads and restarts the watchdog timer. Setting the bit to ‘0’ has no effect. The
bit is cleared automatically after the watchdog timer is reset. The WDS bit is write only. Reading it always returns a 0.
WDW
Watchdog Write Enable. Setting this bit to ‘1’ disables any WRITE to the watchdog timeout value (D5–D0). This enables
the user to set the watchdog strobe bit without disturbing the timeout value. Setting this bit to ‘0’ allows bits D5–D0 to
be written to the watchdog register when the next write cycle is complete. This function is explained in more detail in
Watchdog Timer on page 21.
WDT
Watchdog timeout selection. The watchdog timer interval is selected by the 6-bit value in this register. It represents a
multiplier of the 32 Hz count (31.25 ms). The range of timeout value is 31.25 ms (a setting of 1) to 2 seconds (setting
of 3 Fh). Setting the watchdog timer register to ‘0’ disables the timer. These bits can be written only if the WDW bit was
set to 0 on a previous cycle.

AIE
Watchdog Interrupt Enable. When set to ‘1’ and a watchdog timeout occurs, the watchdog timer drives the INT pin and
the WDF flag. When set to ‘0’, the watchdog timeout affects only the WDF flag.
Alarm Interrupt Enable. When set to ‘1’, the alarm match drives the INT pin and the AF flag. When set to ‘0’, the alarm
match only affects the AF flag.
PFE
Power Fail Enable. When set to ‘1’, the alarm match drives the INT pin and the PF flag. When set to ‘0’, the power fail
monitor affects only the PF flag.
SQWE
Square Wave Enable. When set to ‘1’, a square wave is driven on the INT pin with frequency programmed using SQ1
and SQ0 bits. The square wave output takes precedence over interrupt logic. If the SQWE bit is set to ‘1’. when an
enabled interrupt source becomes active, only the corresponding flag is raised and the INT pin continues to drive the
square wave.
H/L
P/L
High/Low. When set to ‘1’, the INT pin is driven active HIGH. When set to ‘0’, the INT pin is open drain, active LOW.
Pulse/Level. When set to ‘1’, the INT pin is driven active (determined by H/L) by an interrupt source for approximately
200 ms. When set to ‘0’, the INT pin is driven to an active level (as set by H/L) until the flags register is read.
SQ1, SQ0 SQ1, SQ0. These bits are used to decide the frequency of the Square wave on the INT pin output when SQWE bit is
set to ‘1’. The following is the frequency output for each combination of (SQ1, SQ0):
(0, 0) - 1 Hz
(0, 1) - 512 Hz
(1, 0) - 4096 Hz

Watchdog Timer Flag. This read only bit is set to ‘1’ when the watchdog timer is allowed to reach ‘0’ without being reset
by the user. It is cleared to ‘0’ when the flags register is read or on power-up
Alarm Flag. This read only bit is set to ‘1’ when the time and date match the values stored in the alarm registers with
the match bits = ‘0’. It is cleared when the flags register is read or on power-up.
PF
Power Fail Flag. This read only bit is set to ‘1’ when power falls below the power fail threshold VSWITCH. It is cleared
when the flags register is read.
OSCF
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
indicates that RTC backup power failed and clock value is no longer valid. This bit survives power cycle and is never
cleared internally by the chip. The user must check for this condition and write '0' to clear this flag. When user resets
OSCF flag bit, the bit will be updated after tRTCp time.
BPF
Backup Power Fail Flag. Set to ‘1’ on power-up if the backup power (battery or capacitor) failed. The backup power fail
condition is determined by the voltage falling below their respective minimum specified voltage. BPF can hold the data
only till a defined low level of the back up voltage (VDR). User must reset this bit to clear this flag. When user resets
BPF flag bit, the bit will be updated after tRTCp time.
CAL
W
Calibration Mode. When set to ‘1’, a 512 Hz square wave is output on the INT pin. When set to ‘0’, the INT pin resumes
normal operation. This bit takes priority than SQ0/SQ1 and other functions. This bit defaults to ‘0’ (disabled) on power-up.
Write Enable: Setting the ‘W’ bit to ‘1’ freezes updates of the RTC registers. The user can then write to RTC registers,
alarm registers, calibration register, interrupt register and flags register. Setting the ‘W’ bit to ‘0’ causes the contents of
the RTC registers to be transferred to the time keeping counters if the time has changed. This transfer process takes
tRTCp time to complete. This bit defaults to 0 on power-up.
R
Read Enable: Setting ‘R’ bit to ‘1’, stops clock updates to user RTC registers so that clock updates are not seen during
the reading process. Set ‘R’ bit to ‘0’ to resume clock updates to the holding register. Setting this bit does not require
‘W’ bit to be set to ‘1’. This bit defaults to ‘0’ on power-up.

26. 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.
27. Commands such as STORE and RECALL lock out I/O until operation is complete which further increases this time. See the specific command.
