MICROCHIP 48LM01-I/SM

The 48L512/48LM01 (48LXXX) serial EERAM has an SRAM memory core with hidden EEPROM backup. The device can be treated by the user as a full symmetrical read/write SRAM. Backup to EEPROM is handled by the device on any power disrupt, so the user can effectively view this device as an SRAM that never loses its data. The device is structured as a 512/1024-Kbit SRAM with EEPROM backup in each memory cell. The SRAM is organized as 65,536x8 bits or 131,072x8 bits, and uses the SPI serial interface. The SPI bus uses three signal lines for communication: clock input (SCK), data in (SI), and data out (SO). Access to the device is controlled through a Chip Select (CS) input, allowing any number of devices to share the same bus. The SRAM is a conventional serial SRAM: it allows symmetrical reads and writes and has no limits on cell usage. The backup EEPROM is invisible to the user and cannot be accessed by the user independently. The device includes circuitry that detects VCC dropping below a certain threshold, shuts its connection to the outside environment, and transfers all SRAM data to the EEPROM portion of each cell for safe keeping. When VCC returns, the circuitry automatically returns the data to the SRAM and the user’s interaction with the SRAM can continue with the same data set.
