Overview  
The Cypress CY14X101PA combines a 1 Mbit nvSRAM[1] with a  
full-featured RTC in a monolithic integrated circuit with serial SPI  
interface. The memory is organized as 128 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).  
You can also initiate the STORE and RECALL operations  
through SPI instruction.

CY14C101PA  
CY14B101PA  
CY14E101PA  
PRELIMINARY  
SRAM Read  
Device Operation  
A read cycle is performed at the SPI bus speed. The data is read  
out with zero cycle delay after the READ instruction is executed.  
READ instruction can be used upto 40 MHz clock speed. The  
READ instruction is issued through the SI pin of the nvSRAM and  
consists of the READ opcode and three bytes of address. The  
data is read out on the SO pin.  
CY14X101PA is a 1-Mbit serial (SPI) nvSRAM memory with  
integrated RTC and SPI interface. All the reads and writes to  
nvSRAM happen to the SRAM, which gives nvSRAM the unique  
capability to handle infinite writes to the memory. The data in  
SRAM is secured by a STORE sequence that transfers the data  
in parallel to the nonvolatile QuantumTrap cells. A small  
capacitor (VCAP) is used to AutoStore the SRAM data in  
nonvolatile cells when power goes down providing power-down  
data security. The QuantumTrap nonvolatile elements built in the  
reliable SONOS technology make nvSRAM the ideal choice for  
secure data storage.  
Speed higher than 40 MHz (up to 104 MHz) requires  
FAST_READ instruction. The FAST_READ instruction is issued  
through the SI pin of the nvSRAM and consists of the  
FAST_READ opcode, three bytes of address, and one dummy  
byte. The data is read out on the SO pin.  
In CY14X101PA, the 1-Mbit memory array is organized as 128 K  
words × 8 bits. The memory can be accessed through a standard  
SPI interface that enables very high clock speeds up to 40 MHz  
with zero cycle delay read and write cycles. This nvSRAM chip  
also supports 104 MHz SPI access speed with a special  
instruction for read operation. CY14X101PA supports SPI  
modes 0 and 3 (CPOL, CPHA = 0, 0 and 1, 1) and operates as  
SPI slave. The device is enabled using the Chip Select (CS) pin  
and accessed through Serial Input (SI), Serial Output (SO), and  
Serial Clock (SCK) pins.  
CY14X101PA enables burst mode reads to be performed  
through SPI. This enables reads on consecutive addresses  
without issuing a new READ instruction. When the last address  
in memory is reached in burst mode read, the address rolls over  
to 0x00000 and the device continues to read.  
The SPI read cycle sequence is defined in the Memory Access  
section of SPI Protocol Description  
STORE Operation  
STORE operation transfers the data from the SRAM to the  
nonvolatile QuantumTrap cells. The CY14X101PA STOREs data  
to the nonvolatile cells using one of the three STORE operations:  
AutoStore, activated on device power-down; Software STORE,  
activated by a STORE instruction; and Hardware STORE,  
activated by the HSB. 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, read/write to CY14X101PA is inhibited until the cycle is  
completed.  
CY14X101PA provides the feature for hardware and software  
write protection through the WP pin and WRDI instruction.  
CY14X101PA also provides mechanisms for block write  
protection (1/4, 1/2, or full array) using BP0 and BP1 pins in the  
Status Register. Further, the HOLD pin is used to suspend any  
serial communication without resetting the serial sequence.  
CY14X101PA uses the standard SPI opcodes for memory  
access. In addition to the general SPI instructions for read and  
write, CY14X101PA provides four special instructions that allow  
access to four nvSRAM specific functions: STORE, RECALL,  
AutoStore Disable (ASDISB), and AutoStore Enable (ASENB).  
The HSB signal or the RDY bit in the Status Register can be  
monitored by the system to detect if a STORE or Software  
RECALL cycle is in progress. The busy status of nvSRAM is  
indicated by HSB being pulled LOW or RDY bit being set to ‘1’.  
To avoid unnecessary nonvolatile STOREs, AutoStore and  
Hardware STORE operations are ignored unless at least one  
write operation has taken place since the most recent STORE or  
RECALL cycle. However, software initiated STORE cycles are  
performed regardless of whether a write operation has taken  
place.  
The major benefit of nvSRAM over serial EEPROMs is that all  
reads and writes to nvSRAM are performed at the speed of SPI  
bus with zero cycle delay. Therefore, no wait time is required  
after any of the memory accesses. The STORE and RECALL  
operations need finite time to complete and all memory accesses  
are inhibited during this time. While a STORE or RECALL  
operation is in progress, the busy status of the device is indicated  
by the Hardware STORE Busy (HSB) pin and also reflected on  
the RDY bit of the Status Register.  
AutoStore Operation  
SRAM Write  
The AutoStore operation is a unique feature of nvSRAM which  
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.  
All writes to nvSRAM are carried out on the SRAM and do not  
use up any endurance cycles of the nonvolatile memory. This  
allows you to perform infinite write operations. A write cycle is  
performed through the WRITE instruction. The WRITE  
instruction is issued through the SI pin of the nvSRAM and  
consists of the WRITE opcode, three bytes of address, and one  
byte of data. Write to nvSRAM is done at SPI bus speed with zero  
cycle delay.  
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  
initiated if no write cycle has been performed since last RECALL.  
CY14X101PA allows burst mode writes to be performed through  
SPI. This enables write operations on consecutive addresses  
without issuing a new WRITE instruction. When the last address  
in memory is reached in burst mode, the address rolls over to  
0x00000 and the device continues to write.  
Note If a capacitor is not connected to VCAP pin, AutoStore must  
be disabled by issuing the AutoStore Disable instruction  
(AutoStore Enable (ASENB) Instruction on page 17). If  
AutoStore is enabled without a capacitor on the VCAP pin, the  
device attempts an AutoStore operation without sufficient charge  
The SPI write cycle sequence is defined in the Memory Access  
section of SPI Protocol Description.

to complete the Store. This corrupts the data stored in the  
nvSRAM and Status Register. To resume normal functionality,  
the WRSR instruction must be issued to update the nonvolatile  
bits BP0, BP1, and WPEN in the Status Register.  
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.  
The HSB pin must be left unconnected if not used.  
Figure 2 shows the proper connection of the storage capacitor  
(VCAP) for AutoStore operation. Refer to DC Electrical Charac-  
teristics on page 32 for the size of the VCAP  
.
RECALL Operation  
Figure 2. AutoStore Mode  
A RECALL operation transfers the data stored in the nonvolatile  
QuantumTrap elements to the SRAM. In CY14X101PA, a  
RECALL may be initiated in two ways: Hardware RECALL,  
initiated on power-up and Software RECALL, initiated by a SPI  
RECALL instruction.  
VCC  
0.1uF  
Internally, RECALL is a two step procedure. First, the SRAM data  
is cleared. Next, the nonvolatile information is transferred into the  
SRAM cells. All memory accesses are inhibited while a RECALL  
cycle is in progress. The RECALL operation does not alter the  
data in the nonvolatile elements.  
VCC  
CS  
VCAP  
Hardware RECALL (Power Up)  
During power-up, when VCC crosses VSWITCH, an automatic  
RECALL sequence is initiated, which transfers the content of  
nonvolatile memory on to the SRAM.  
VCAP  
VSS  
A Power Up RECALL cycle takes tFA time to complete and the  
memory access is disabled during this time. HSB pin is used to  
detect the Ready status of the device.  
Software STORE Operation  
Software RECALL  
Software STORE allows the user to trigger a STORE operation  
through a special SPI instruction. STORE operation is initiated  
by executing STORE instruction regardless of whether or not a  
write has been performed since the last NV operation.  
Software RECALL allows you to initiate a RECALL operation to  
restore the content of nonvolatile memory on to the SRAM. In  
CY14X101PA, this can be done by issuing a RECALL instruction  
in SPI.  
A STORE cycle takes tSTORE time to complete, during which all  
the memory accesses to nvSRAM are inhibited. The RDY bit of  
the Status Register or the HSB pin may be polled to find the  
Ready/Busy status of the nvSRAM. After the tSTORE cycle time  
is completed, the SRAM is activated again for read and write  
operations.  
A Software RECALL takes tRECALL time to complete during  
which all memory accesses to nvSRAM are inhibited. The  
controller must provide sufficient delay for the RECALL operation  
to complete before issuing any memory access instructions.  
Disabling and Enabling AutoStore  
If the application does not require the AutoStore feature, it can  
be disabled in CY14X101PA by using the ASDISB instruction. If  
this is done, the nvSRAM does not perform a STORE operation  
at power-down.  
Hardware STORE and HSB pin Operation  
The HSB pin in CY14X101PA is used to control and  
acknowledge STORE operations. If no STORE/RECALL is in  
progress, this pin can be used to request a Hardware STORE  
cycle. When the HSB pin is driven LOW, the CY14X101PA  
conditionally initiates a STORE operation after tDELAY duration.  
A 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. The HSB pin also acts as an open drain  
driver (internal 100 kΩ weak pull up resistor) that is internally  
driven LOW to indicate a busy condition when the STORE  
(initiated by any means) is in progress.  
AutoStore can be re enabled by using the ASENB instruction.  
However, these operations are not nonvolatile and if you need  
this setting to survive the power cycle, a STORE operation must  
be performed following AutoStore Disable or Enable operation.  
Note CY14X101PA comes from the factory with AutoStore  
Enabled.  
Note If AutoStore is disabled and VCAP is not required, then the  
VCAP pin must be left open. The VCAP pin must never be  
connected to ground. The Power Up RECALL operation cannot  
be disabled in any case.  
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 an internal 100 kΩ pull-up  
resistor.

PRELIMINARY  
Serial Clock (SCK)  
Serial Peripheral Interface  
Serial clock is generated by the SPI master and the  
communication is synchronized with this clock after CS goes  
LOW.  
SPI Overview  
The SPI is a four-pin interface with Chip Select (CS), Serial Input  
(SI), Serial Output (SO), and Serial Clock (SCK) pins.  
CY14X101PA provides serial access to nvSRAM through SPI  
interface. The SPI bus on CY14X101PA can run at speeds up to  
104 MHz except RDRTC and READ instruction.  
CY14X101PA allows SPI modes  
0
and  
3
for data  
communication. In both these modes, the inputs are latched by  
the slave device on the rising edge of SCK and outputs are  
issued on the falling edge. Therefore, the first rising edge of SCK  
signifies the arrival of the first bit (MSB) of SPI instruction on the  
SI pin. Further, all data inputs and outputs are synchronized with  
SCK.  
The SPI is a synchronous serial interface which uses clock and  
data pins for memory access and supports multiple devices on  
the data bus. A device on SPI bus is activated using the CS pin.  
The relationship between chip select, clock, and data is dictated  
by the SPI mode. CY14X101PA supports SPI modes 0 and 3. In  
both these modes, data is clocked into the nvSRAM on the rising  
edge of SCK starting from the first rising edge after CS goes  
active.  
Data Transmission SI/SO  
SPI data bus consists of two lines, SI and SO, for serial data  
communication. The SI is also referred to as Master Out Slave  
In (MOSI) and SO is referred to as Master In Slave Out (MISO).  
The master issues instructions to the slave through the SI pin,  
while the slave responds through the SO pin. Multiple slave  
devices may share the SI and SO lines as described earlier.  
The SPI protocol is controlled by opcodes. These opcodes  
specify the commands from the bus master to the slave device.  
After CS is activated the first byte transferred from the bus  
master is the opcode. Following the opcode, any addresses and  
data are then transferred. The CS must go inactive after an  
operation is complete and before a new opcode can be issued.  
CY14X101PA has two separate pins for SI and SO, which can  
be connected with the master as shown in Figure 3 on page 7.  
Most Significant Bit (MSB)  
The commonly used terms used in SPI protocol are given below:  
The SPI protocol requires that the first bit to be transmitted is the  
Most Significant Bit (MSB). This is valid for both address and  
data transmission.  
SPI Master  
The SPI master device controls the operations on a SPI bus. A  
SPI bus may have only one master with one or more slave  
devices. All the slaves share the same SPI bus lines and the  
master may select any of the slave devices using the CS pin. All  
the operations must be initiated by the master activating a slave  
device by pulling the CS pin of the slave LOW. The master also  
generates the SCK and all the data transmission on SI and SO  
lines are synchronized with this clock.  
CY14X101PA requires a 3-byte address for any read or write  
operation. However, because the address is only 17 bits, it  
implies that the first seven bits that are fed in are ignored by the  
device. Although these seven bits are ‘don’t care’, Cypress  
recommends that these bits are treated as 0s to enable  
seamless transition to higher memory densities.  
Serial Opcode  
SPI Slave  
After the slave device is selected with CS going LOW, the first  
byte received is treated as the opcode for the intended operation.  
The SPI slave device is activated by the master through the Chip  
Select line. A slave device gets the SCK as an input from the SPI  
master and all the communication is synchronized with this  
clock. SPI slave never initiates a communication on the SPI bus  
and acts on the instruction from the master.  
CY14X101PA uses the standard opcodes for memory accesses.  
In addition to the memory accesses, CY14X101PA provides  
additional opcodes for the nvSRAM specific functions: STORE,  
RECALL, AutoStore Enable, and AutoStore Disable. Refer to  
Table 2 on page 9 for details on opcodes.  
CY14X101PA operates as a slave device and may share the SPI  
bus with multiple CY14X101PA devices or other SPI devices.  
Invalid Opcode  
Chip Select (CS)  
If an invalid opcode is received, the opcode is ignored and the  
device ignores any additional serial data on the SI pin until the  
next falling edge of CS and the SO pin remains tri-stated.  
For selecting any slave device, the master needs to pull down  
the corresponding CS pin. Any instruction can be issued to a  
slave device only while the CS pin is LOW.  
Status Register  
The CY14X101PA is selected when the CS pin is LOW. When  
the device is not selected, data through the SI pin is ignored and  
the serial output pin (SO) remains in a high-impedance state.  
CY14X101PA has an 8-bit Status Register. The bits in the Status  
Register are used to configure the SPI bus. These bits are  
described in the Table 4 on page 10.  
Note A new instruction must begin with the falling edge of CS.  
Therefore, only one opcode can be issued for each active Chip  
Select cycle.

SPI Modes  
CY14X101PA device may be driven by a microcontroller with its  
SPI peripheral running in either of these two modes:  
SCK remains at 0 for Mode 0  
SPI Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0)  
SPI Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1)  
SCK remains at 1 for Mode 3  
CPOL and CPHA bits must be set in the SPI controller for the  
either Mode 0 or Mode 3. CY14X101PA detects the SPI mode  
from the status of SCK pin when device is selected by bringing  
the CS pin LOW. If SCK pin is LOW when the device is selected,  
SPI Mode 0 is assumed and if SCK pin is HIGH, CY14X101PA  
works in SPI Mode 3.  
For both these modes, the input data is latched in on the rising  
edge of SCK starting from the first rising edge after CS goes  
active. If the clock starts from a high state (in mode 3), the first  
rising edge after the clock toggles is considered. The output data  
is available on the falling edge of SCK.

The WPEN, BP1, and BP0 bits of the Status Register are  
nonvolatile bits and remain unchanged from the previous  
STORE operation.  
SPI Operating Features  
Power-Up  
Power-up is defined as the condition when the power supply is  
turned on and VCC crosses Vswitch voltage. During this time, the  
CS must be enabled to follow the VCC voltage. Therefore, CS  
must be connected to VCC through a suitable pull-up resistor. As  
a built in safety feature, CS is both edge sensitive and level  
sensitive. After power-up, the device is not selected until a falling  
edge is detected on CS. This ensures that CS must have been  
HIGH before going LOW to start the first operation.  
Prior to selecting and issuing instructions to the memory, a valid  
and stable VCC voltage must be applied. This voltage must  
remain valid until the end of the instruction transmission.  
Power Down  
At power-down (continuous decay of VCC), when VCC drops from  
the normal operating voltage and below the VSWITCH threshold  
voltage, the device stops responding to any instruction sent to it.  
If a write cycle is in progress and the last data bit D0 has been  
received when the power goes down, it is allowed tDELAY time to  
complete the write. After this, all memory accesses are inhibited  
and a conditional AutoStore operation is performed (AutoStore is  
not performed if no writes have happened since the last RECALL  
cycle). This feature prevents inadvertent writes to nvSRAM from  
happening during power-down. However, to avoid the possibility  
of inadvertent writes during power-down, ensure that the device  
is deselected and is in standby power mode and the CS follows  
As described earlier, nvSRAM performs a Power Up RECALL  
operation after power-up and, therefore, all memory accesses  
are disabled for tFA duration after power-up. The HSB pin can be  
probed to check the Ready/Busy status of nvSRAM after  
power-up.  
Power-On Reset  
A power-on reset (POR) circuit is included to prevent inadvertent  
writes. At power-up, the device does not respond to any  
instruction until the VCC reaches the POR threshold voltage  
(VSWITCH). After VCC transitions the POR threshold, the device  
is internally reset and performs a Power Up RECALL operation.  
During Power Up RECALL all device accesses are inhibited. The  
device is in the following state after POR:  
the voltage applied on VCC  
.
Active Power and Standby Power Modes  
When CS is LOW, the device is selected and is in the active  
power mode. The device consumes ICC current, as specified in  
DC Electrical Characteristics on page 32. When CS is HIGH, the  
device is deselected and the device goes into the standby power  
mode after tSB time if a STORE or RECALL cycle is not in  
progress. If a STORE/RECALL cycle is in progress, the device  
goes into the standby power mode after the STORE/RECALL  
cycle is completed. In the standby power mode the current drawn

before any instructions are started).

Status Register  
The Status Register bits are listed in Table 3. The Status Register  
consists of a Ready bit (RDY) and data protection bits BP1, BP0,  
WEN, and WPEN. The RDY bit can be polled to check the  
Ready/Busy status while a nvSRAM STORE or Software  
RECALL cycle is in progress. The Status Register can be  
modified by WRSR instruction and read by RDSR or  
FAST_RDSR instruction. However, only the WPEN, BP1, and  
BP0 bits of the Status Register can be modified by using the  
WRSR instruction. The WRSR instruction has no effect on WEN  
and RDY bits. The default value shipped from the factory for  
WEN, BP0, BP1, bits 4 -5, SNL and WPEN is ‘0’.  
SNL (bit 6) of the Status Register is used to lock the serial  
number written using the WRSN instruction. The serial number  
can be written using the WRSN instruction multiple times while  
this bit is still '0'. When set to '1', this bit prevents any modification  
to the serial number. This bit is factory programmed to '0' and can  
only be written to once. After this bit is set to '1', it can never be  
cleared to '0'.

This instruction is issued after the falling edge of CS using the

Read Status Register (RDSR) Instruction  
The Read Status Register instruction provides access to the  
Status Register at SPI frequency up to 40 MHz. This instruction  
is used to probe the Write Enable status of the device or the  
Ready status of the device. RDY bit is set by the device to ‘1’  
whenever a STORE or Software RECALL cycle is in progress.  
The block protection and WPEN bits indicate the extent of  
protection employed.  
Write Status Register (WRSR) Instruction  
The WRSR instruction enables the user to write to the Status  
Register. However, this instruction cannot be used to modify bit  
0 and bit 1 (RDY and WEN). The BP0 and BP1 bits can be used  
to select one of four levels of block protection. Further, WPEN bit  
must be set to ‘1’ to enable the use of Write Protect (WP) pin.  
This instruction is issued after the falling edge of CS using the  
opcode for RDSR.  
WRSR instruction is a write instruction and needs writes to be  
enabled (WEN bit set to ‘1’) using the WREN instruction before  
it is issued. The instruction is issued after the falling edge of CS  
using the opcode for WRSR followed by eight bits of data to be  
stored in the Status Register. Since only bits 2, 3, and 7 can be  
modified by WRSR instruction, it is recommended to leave the  
bits 4-5 as ‘0’ while writing to the Status Register.  
Fast Read Status Register (FAST_RDSR) Instruction  
The FAST_RDSR instruction allows you to read the Status  
Register at SPI frequency above 40 MHz and up to 104 MHz  
(max).This instruction is used to probe the Write Enable status  
of the device or the Ready status of the device. RDY bit is set by  
the device to ‘1’ whenever a STORE or Software RECALL cycle  
is in progress. The block protection and WPEN bits indicate the  
extent of protection employed.  
Note In CY14X101PA, the values written to Status Register are  
saved to nonvolatile memory only after a STORE operation. If  
AutoStore is disabled, any modifications to the Status Register  
must be secured by performing a Software STORE operation.

Write Enable (WREN) Instruction  
Write Protection and Block Protection  
On power-up, the device is always in the write disable state. The  
following WRITE, WRSR, WRTC, or nvSRAM special instruction  
must therefore be preceded by a Write Enable instruction. If the  
device is not write enabled (WEN = ‘0’), it ignores the write  
instructions and returns to the standby state when CS is brought  
HIGH. A new CS falling edge is required to re-initiate serial  
communication. The instruction is issued following the falling  
edge of CS. When this instruction is used, the WEN bit of Status  
Register is set to ‘1’. WEN bit defaults to ‘0’ on power-up.  
CY14X101PA provides features for both software and hardware  
write protection using WRDI instruction and WP. Additionally, this  
device also provides block protection mechanism through BP0  
and BP1 pins of the Status Register.  
The write enable and disable status of the device is indicated by  
WEN bit of the Status Register. The write instructions (WRSR,  
WRITE, and WRTC) and nvSRAM special instruction (STORE,  
RECALL, ASENB, ASDISB) need the write to be enabled (WEN  
bit = ‘1’) before they can be issued.  
Note After completion of a write instruction (WRSR, WRITE, or  
WRTC) or nvSRAM special instruction (STORE, RECALL,  
ASENB, ASDISB) instruction, WEN bit is cleared to ‘0’. This is  
done to provide protection from any inadvertent writes.  
Therefore, WREN instruction needs to be used before a new  
write instruction can be issued

WP pin can be used along with WPEN and Block Protect bits  
(BP1 and BP0) of the Status Register to inhibit writes to memory.  
When WP pin is LOW and WPEN is set to ‘1’, any modifications  
to Status Register are disabled. Therefore, the memory is  
protected by setting the BP0 and BP1 bits and the WP pin inhibits  
any modification of the Status Register bits, providing hardware  
write protection.

Read Sequence (READ) Instruction  
HI-Z  
The read operations on CY14X101PA are performed by giving  
the instruction on the SI pin and reading the output on SO pin.  
The following sequence needs to be followed for a read  
operation: After the CS line is pulled LOW to select a device, the  
read opcode is transmitted through the SI line followed by three  
bytes of address. The most significant address byte contains  
A16 in bit 0 and other bits as don’t cares. Address bits A15 to A0  
are sent in the following two address bytes. After the last address  
bit is transmitted on the SI pin, the data (D7-D0) at the specific  
address is shifted out on the SO line on the falling edge of SCK  
starting with D7. Any other data on SI line after the last address  
bit is ignored.  
SO  
Block Protection  
Block protection is provided using the BP0 and BP1 pins of the  
Status Register. These bits can be set using WRSR instruction  
and probed using the RDSR instruction. The nvSRAM is divided  
into four array segments. One-quarter, one-half, or all of the  
memory segments can be protected. Any data within the  
protected segment is read only. Table 5 shows the function of  
Block Protect bits.  
Table 5. Block Write Protect Bits  
Status Register Bits  
CY14X101PA allows reads to be performed in bursts through  
SPI which can be used to read consecutive addresses without  
issuing a new READ instruction. If only one byte is to be read,  
the CS line must be driven HIGH after one byte of data comes  
out. However, the read sequence may be continued by holding  
the CS line LOW and the address is automatically incremented  
and data continues to shift out on SO pin. When the last data  
memory address (0x1FFFF) is reached, the address rolls over to  
0x00000 and the device continues to read.

Note READ instruction operates up to Max of 40 MHz SPI  
frequency.  
Hardware Write Protection (WP Pin)  
The write protect pin (WP) is used to provide hardware write  
protection. WP pin enables all normal read and write operations  
when held HIGH. When the WP pin is brought LOW and WPEN  
bit is ‘1’, all write operations to the Status Register are inhibited.  
The hardware write protection function is blocked when the  
WPEN bit is ‘0’. This allows you to install the device in a system  
with the WP pin tied to ground, and still write to the Status  
Register.  
Fast Read Sequence (FAST_READ) Instruction  
The FAST_READ instruction allows you to read memory at SPI  
frequency above 40 MHz and up to 104 MHz (Max). The host  
system must first select the device by driving CS LOW, the  
FAST_READ instruction is then written to SI, followed by 3  
address byte containing the17 bit address (A16 -A0) and then a  
dummy byte.

From the subsequent falling edge of the SCK, the data of the  
specific address is shifted out serially on the SO line starting with  
MSB. The first byte specified can be at any location. The device  
automatically increments to the next higher address after each  
byte of data is output. The entire memory array can therefore be  
read with a single FAST_READ instruction. When the highest  
address in the memory array is reached, address counter rolls  
over to start address 0x00000 and thus allowing the read  
sequence to continue indefinitely. The FAST_READ instruction  
is terminated by driving CS HIGH at any time during data output.  
A16 in bit 0 with other bits being don’t cares. Address bits A15 to  
A0 are sent in the following two address bytes.  
CY14X101PA allows writes to be performed in bursts through  
SPI which can be used to write consecutive addresses without  
issuing a new WRITE instruction. If only one byte is to be written,  
the CS line must be driven HIGH after the D0 (LSB of data) is  
transmitted. However, if more bytes are to be written, CS line  
must be held LOW and address incremented automatically. The  
following bytes on the SI line are treated as data bytes and  
written in the successive addresses. When the last data memory  
address (0x1FFFF) is reached, the address rolls over to 0x00000  
and the device continues to write.  
Note FAST_READ instruction operates up to maximum of  
104 MHz SPI frequency.  
The WEN bit is reset to ‘0’ on completion of a WRITE sequence.  
Write Sequence (WRITE) Instruction  
Note When a burst write reaches a protected block address, it  
continues the address increment into the protected space but  
does not write any data to the protected memory. If the address  
roll over takes the burst write to unprotected space, it resumes  
writes. The same operation is true if a burst write is initiated  
within a write protected block.  
The write operations on CY14X101PA are performed through the  
SI pin. To perform a write operation, if the device is write  
disabled, then the device must first be write enabled through the  
WREN instruction. When the writes are enabled (WEN = ‘1’),  
WRITE instruction is issued after the falling edge of CS. A  
WRITE instruction constitutes transmitting the WRITE opcode  
on SI line followed by 3-bytes of address and the data (D7-D0)  
which is to be written. The most significant address byte contains

CY14C101PA  
CY14B101PA  
CY14E101PA  
PRELIMINARY  
The R bit in RTC flags register must be set to ‘1’ before reading  
RTC time keeping registers to avoid reading transitional data.  
Modifying the RTC flag registers requires a Write RTC cycle. The  
R bit must be cleared to '0' after completion of the read operation.  
RTC Access  
CY14X101PA uses 16 registers for RTC. These registers can be  
read out or written to by accessing all 16 registers in burst mode  
or accessing each register, one at a time. The RDRTC,  
FAST_RDRTC, and WRTFC instructions are used to access the  
RTC.  
The easiest way to read RTC registers is to perform RDRTC in  
burst mode. The read may start from the first RTC register (0x00)  
and the CS must be held LOW to allow the data from all 16 RTC  
registers to be transmitted through the SO pin.  
All the RTC registers can be read in burst mode by issuing the  
RDRTC and FAST_RDRTC instruction and reading all 16 bytes  
without bringing the CS pin HIGH. The ‘R’ bit must be set while  
reading the RTC timekeeping registers to ensure that transitional  
values of time are not read.  
Note RDRTC instruction operates at a maximum clock  
frequency of 25 MHz. The opcode cycles, address cycles and  
data out cycles need to run at 25 MHz for the instruction to work  
properly.  
Writes to the RTC register are performed using the WRTC  
instruction. Writing RTC timekeeping registers and control  
registers, except for the flags register needs the ‘W’ bit of the  
flags register to be set to ‘1’. The internal counters are updated  
with the new date and time setting when the ‘W’ bit is cleared to  
‘0’. All the RTC registers can also be written in burst mode using  
the WRTC instruction.  
Fast Read Sequence (FAST_RDRTC) Instruction  
The FAST_RDRTC instruction allows you to read memory at a  
SPI frequency above 25 MHz and up to 104 MHz (Max). The host  
system must first select the device by driving CS LOW, the  
FAST_READ instruction is then written to SI, followed by 8 bit  
address and a dummy byte.  
From the subsequent falling edge of the SCK, the data of the  
specific address is shifted out serially on the SO line starting with  
MSB. The first byte specified can be at any location. The device  
automatically increments to the next higher address after each  
byte of data is output. The entire memory array can therefore be  
read with a single FAST_RDRTC instruction. When the highest  
address (0x0F) in the memory array is reached, the address  
counter rolls over to start address 0x00 and thus allowing the  
read sequence to continue indefinitely. The FAST_RDRTC  
instruction is terminated by driving CS HIGH at any time during  
data output.  
READ RTC (RDRTC) Instruction  
Read RTC (RDRTC) instruction allows you to read the contents  
of RTC registers at SPI frequency upto 25 MHz. Reading the  
RTC registers through the SO pin requires the following  
sequence: After the CS line is pulled LOW to select a device, the  
RDRTC opcode is transmitted through the SI line followed by  
eight address bits for selecting the register. Any data on the SI  
line after the address bits is ignored. The data (D7-D0) at the  
specified address is then shifted out onto the SO line. RDRTC  
also allows burst mode read operation. When reading multiple  
bytes from RTC registers, the address rolls over to 0x00 after the  
last RTC register address (0x0F) is reached.  
Note FAST_READ instruction operates up to Max of 104 MHz  
SPI frequency.

bytes of data. WRTC allows burst mode write operation. When  
writing more than one registers in burst mode, the address rolls  
over to 0x00 after the last RTC address (0x0F) is reached.  
WRITE RTC (WRTC) Instruction  
WRITE RTC (WRTC) instruction allows you to modify the  
contents of RTC registers. The WRTC instruction requires the  
WEN bit to be set to '1' before it can be issued. If WEN bit is '0',  
a WREN instruction needs to be issued before using WRTC.  
Writing RTC registers requires the following sequence: After the  
CS line is pulled LOW to select a device, WRTC opcode is  
transmitted through the SI line followed by eight address bits  
identifying the register which is to be written to and one or more  
Note that writing to RTC timekeeping and control registers  
require the W bit to be set to '1'. The values in these RTC  
registers take effect only after the ‘W’ bit is cleared to '0'. Write  
Enable bit (WEN) is automatically cleared to ‘0’ after completion  
of the WRTC instruction.

SLEEP Instruction  
CS  
SLEEP instruction puts the nvSRAM in sleep mode. When the  
SLEEP instruction is issued and CS is brought HIGH, the  
nvSRAM performs a STORE operation to secure the data to  
nonvolatile memory and then enters into sleep mode. The device  
starts consuming IZZ current after tSLEEP time from the instance  
when SLEEP instruction is registered. The device is not acces-  
sible for normal operations after SLEEP instruction is issued.  
Once in sleep mode, the SCK and SI pins are ignored and SO  
will be Hi-Z but device continues to monitor the CS pin.

To wake the nvSRAM from the sleep mode, the device must be  
selected by toggling the CS pin from HIGH to LOW. The device  
wakes up and is accessible for normal operations after tWAKE  
duration after a falling edge of CS pin is detected.  
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 system  
designer to utilize the eight byte memory space in whatever  
manner desired. The default value for eight byte locations are set  
to ‘0x00’.  
Note Whenever nvSRAM enters into sleep mode, it initiates  
nonvolatile STORE cycle which results in 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.  
WRSN (Serial Number Write) Instruction  
The serial number can be written using the WRSN instruction. To  
write serial number the write must be enabled using the WREN  
instruction. The WRSN instruction can be used in burst mode to  
write all the 8 bytes of serial number.

The serial number is locked using the SNL bit of the Status  
Register. Once this bit is set to '1', no modification to the serial  
number is possible. After the SNL bit is set to '1', using the WRSN  
instruction has no effect on the serial number.

A STORE operation (AutoStore or Software STORE) is required  
to store the serial number in nonvolatile memory. If AutoStore is  
disabled, you must perform a Software STORE operation to  
secure and lock the serial number. If SNL bit is set to ‘1’ and is  
not stored (AutoStore disabled), the SNL bit and serial number  
defaults to ‘0’ at the next power cycle. If SNL bit is set to ‘1’ and  
is stored, the SNL bit can never be cleared to ‘0’. This instruction  
requires the WEN bit to be set before it can be executed. The  
WEN bit is reset to '0' after completion of this instruction.

The device ID is divided into four parts as shown in Table 8:  
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.  
RDID (Device ID Read) Instruction  
This instruction is used to read the JEDEC assigned manufac-  
turer ID and product ID of the device at SPI frequency upto  
40 MHz. This instruction can be used to identify a device on the  
bus. RDID instruction can be issued by shifting the op-code for  
RDID in through the SI pin of nvSRAM after CS goes LOW. This  
is followed by nvSRAM shifting out the four bytes of device ID  
through the SO pin.  
Cypress’s manufacturer ID is 0x34 in bank 0. Therefore the  
manufacturer ID for all Cypress nvSRAM products is:  
Cypress ID - 000_0011_0100  
2. Product ID (14 bits)  
The product ID for device is shown in the Table 8.  
3. Density ID (4 bits)  
The 4 bit density ID is used as shown in Table 8 for indicating the

nvSRAM followed by dummy byte after CS goes LOW. This is followed by nvSRAM shifting out the four bytes of device ID through  
the SO pin.

HOLD Pin Operation  
The HOLD pin is used to pause the serial communication. When  
the device is selected and a serial sequence is underway, HOLD  
is used to pause the serial communication with the master device  
without resetting the ongoing serial sequence. To pause, the  
HOLD pin must be brought LOW when the SCK pin is LOW. To  
resume serial communication, the HOLD pin must be brought  
HIGH when the SCK pin is LOW (SCK may toggle during HOLD).

Backup Power  
Real Time Clock Operation  
The RTC in the CY14X101PA 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  
nvTIME Operation  
The CY14X101PA 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 RDRTC and WRTC instructions 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.  
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.  
During backup operation, the CY14X101PA consumes a 0.35 µA  
(Typ) at room temperature. The user must choose capacitor or  
battery values according to the application.  
Clock Operations  
Backup time values based on maximum current specifications  
are shown in Table 9. Nominal backup times are approximately  
two times longer.  
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 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.

Reading the Clock  
The double buffered RTC register structure reduces the chance  
of reading incorrect data from the clock. The user must stop  
internal updates to the CY14X101PA time keeping registers  
before reading clock data, to prevent reading of data in transition.  
Stopping the register updates does not affect clock accuracy.  
Using a capacitor has the obvious advantage of recharging the  
backup source each time the system is powered up. If a battery  
is used, a 3-V lithium is recommended and the CY14X101PA  
sources current only from the battery when the primary power is  
removed. However, the battery is not recharged at any time by  
the CY14X101PA. The battery capacity must be chosen for total  
anticipated cumulative down time required over the life of the  
system.  
The updating process is stopped by writing a ‘1’ to the read bit  
‘R’ (in the flags register at 0x00), and does not restart until a ‘0’  
is written to the read bit. The RTC registers are read while the  
internal clock continues to run. After a ‘0’ is written to the read bit  
(‘R’), all RTC registers are simultaneously updated within 20 ms.  
Stopping and Starting the Oscillator  
Setting the Clock  
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.  
Setting the write bit ‘W’ (in the flags register at 0x00) 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 and must be in 24-hour BCD format. The time written  
is referred to as the “Base Time”. This value is stored in nonvol-  
atile registers and used in the calculation of the current time.  
Resetting the write bit to ‘0’ transfers the values of timekeeping  
registers to the actual clock counters, after which the clock  
resumes normal operation.  
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 CY14X101PA 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  
VSWITCH) the OSCEN bit is checked for ‘enabled’ status. 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  
to the “Base Time” (see Setting the Clock on page 22), 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.  
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.  
Note After ‘W’ bit is set to ‘0’, values written into the timekeeping,  
alarm, calibration, and interrupt registers are transferred to the  
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.

CY14E101PA  
PRELIMINARY  
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.  
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.  
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  
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 market  
typically have an error of +20 ppm to +35 ppm. However,  
CY14X101PA 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  
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.  
To set, clear or enable an alarm, set the ‘W’ bit (in the 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 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 corre-  
sponds to an adjustment of 4.068 or –2.034 ppm offset in oscil-  
lator error, depending on the sign.  
Note CY14X101PA requires the alarm match bit for seconds  
(0x02 - D7) 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 you 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 30 on page 24. 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  
Enable (WIE) bit in the interrupt register is set, a hardware  
interrupt on INT pin is also generated on watchdog timeout. The  
flag and the hardware interrupt are both cleared when user reads  
the flag registers.  
Alarm  
The alarm function compares user programmed values of alarm  
time and date (stored in the registers 0x01-5) 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 CY14X101PA 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.

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 these:  
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 section Interrupt Register.

Power Monitor  
Interrupts are only generated while working on normal power and  
are not triggered when system is running in backup power mode.  
The CY14X101PA provides a power management scheme with  
power fail interrupt capability. It also controls the internal switch  
to backup power for the clock and protects the memory from low  
Note CY14X101PA generates valid interrupts only after the  
Power Up RECALL sequence is completed. All events on INT pin  
must be ignored for tFA duration after powerup.

CC access. The power monitor is based on an internal band gap  
reference circuit that compares the VCC voltage to VSWITCH  
threshold.  
Interrupt Register  
As described in the section “AutoStore Operation” on page 4,  
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.  
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.  
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 flags register.  
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  
“AutoStore or Power Up RECALL” on page 37).  
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 flags  
register.  
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 over rides all other interrupts. However, CAL bit will  
take precedence over the square wave generator. This bit  
defaults to ‘0’ from factory.

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 23.  
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.

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):

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 until 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.

PRELIMINARY  
Best Practices  
nvSRAM products have been used effectively for over 26 years.  
While ease-of-use is one of the product’s main system values,  
experience gained working with hundreds of applications has  
resulted in these suggestions as best practices:  
The VCAP value specified in this datasheet includes a minimum  
and a maximum value size. Best practice is to meet this  
requirement and not exceed the maximum VCAP value because  
the nvSRAM internal algorithm calculates VCAP charge and  
discharge time based on this max VCAP value. Customers that  
want to use a larger VCAP value to make sure there is extra store  
charge and store time should discuss their VCAP size selection  
with Cypress to understand any impact on the VCAP voltage level  
at the end of a tRECALL period.  
The nonvolatile cells in this nvSRAM product are delivered by  
Cypress with 0x00 written in all cells. Incoming inspection  
routines at customer or contract manufacturer’s sites  
sometimes reprogram these values. Final NV patterns are  
typically repeating patterns of AA, 55, 00, FF, A5, or 5A. End  
product’s firmware should not assume an NV array is in a set  
programmed state. Routines that check memory content  
values to determine first time system configuration, cold or  
warm boot status, and so on should always program a unique  
NV pattern (that is, complex 4-byte pattern of 46 E6 49 53 hex  
or more random bytes) as part of the final system manufac-  
turing test to ensure these system routines work consistently.  
When base time is updated, these updates are transferred to  
the time keeping registers when ‘W’ bit is set to ‘0’. This transfer  
takes tRTCp time to complete. It is recommended to initiate  
software STORE or Hardware STORE after tRTCp time to save  
the base time into nonvolatile memory.  
Power-up boot firmware routines should rewrite the nvSRAM  
into the desired state (for example, AutoStore enabled). While  
the nvSRAM is shipped in a preset state, best practice is to  
again rewrite the nvSRAM into the desired state as a safeguard  
against events that might flip the bit inadvertently such as  
program bugs and incoming inspection routines.

20. 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.  
21. Commands such as STORE and RECALL lock out IO until operation is complete which further increases this time. See the specific command.
