STK16C88-WF45

The purpose of the Quantum Trap storage element included in each memory cell of the Simtek STK16C88 is to provide non-volatile storage capability. This allows data to automatically transfer to the non-volatile storage cells when power loss is detected (the STORE operation), and on power up, data is automatically restored to the SRAM (the RECALL operation) .

The Simtek nvSRAM differs from traditional non-volatile memories in terms of read and write capabilities by offering unlimited writes and reads, making it the highest performance and most reliable non-volatile memory available

The key features of the Simtek STK16C88 product mentioned in the document include: - 25, 45 ns Read Access & R/W Cycle Time - Unlimited Read/Write Endurance - Directly replaces battery-backed SRAM modules such as Dallas/Maxim DS1230 AB - Automatic Non-volatile STORE on Power Loss - Non-Volatile STORE Under Hardware or Software Control - Automatic RECALL to SRAM on Power Up - Unlimited RECALL Cycles - 1 Million STORE Cycles - 100-Year Non-volatile Data Retention - Single 5V ± 10% Power Supply - Commercial and Industrial Temperatures - 28-pin 600-mil PDIP Package (RoHS-Compliant) Simtek STK16C88 is a 256Kb fast static RAM with a non-volatile Quantum Trap storage element included with each memory cell, providing fast access & cycle times, ease of use, and unlimited read & write endurance of a normal SRAM. Data transfers automatically to the non-volatile storage cells when power loss is detected (the STORE operation), and on power up, data is automatically restored to the SRAM (the RECALL operation). Both STORE and RECALL operations are also available under software control. The product is the first monolithic non-volatile memory to offer unlimited writes and reads, making it the highest performance and most reliable non-volatile memory available. The AutoStore+ STK16C88 is a fast 32K x 8 SRAM that does not lose its data on power-down. The data is preserved in integral QuantumTrap non-volatile storage elements when power is lost, with automatic STORE on power-down and automatic RECALL on power-up to guarantee data integrity without the use of batteries.
