READ MODE
The DS1265 devices execute a read cycle whenever
WE (Write Enable) is inactive (high) and CE (Chip
Enable) and OE (Output Enable) are active (low). The
unique address specified by the 20 address inputs (A
0
–
A
19
) defines which of the 1,048,576 bytes of data is
accessed. Valid data will be available to the eight data
output drivers within t
ACC
(Access Time) after the last
address input signal is stable, providing that CE and OE
(Output Enable) access times are also satisfied. If OE
and CE access times are not satisfied, then data access
must be measured from the later occurring signal (CE or
OE) and the limiting parameter is either t
CO
for CE or t
OE
for OE rather than t
ACC
.
WRITE MODE
The DS1265 devices execute a write cycle whenever
WE and CE signals are active (low) after address inputs
are stable. The later occurring falling edge of CE or WE
will determine the start of the write cycle. The write cycle
is terminated by the earlier rising edge of CE or WE. All
address inputs must be kept valid throughout the write
cycle. WE must return to the high state for a minimum
recovery time (t
WR
) before another cycle can be initi-
ated. The OE control signal should be kept inactive
(high) during write cycles to avoid bus contention. How-
ever, if the output drivers are enabled (CE and OE
active) then WE will disable the outputs in t
ODW
from its
falling edge.
DATA RETENTION MODE
The DS1265AB provides full functional capability for
V
CC
greater than 4.75 volts and write protects by
4.5 volts. The DS1265Y provides full functional capabil-
ity for V
CC
greater than 4.5 volts and write protects by
4.25 volts. Data is maintained in the absence of V
CC
without any additional support circuitry. The nonvolatile
static RAMs constantly monitor V
CC
. Should the supply
voltage decay, the NV SRAMs automatically write pro-
tect themselves, all inputs become don’t care, and all
outputs become high impedance. As V
CC
falls below
approximately 3.0 volts, a power switching circuit con-
nects the lithium energy source to RAM to retain data.
During power–up, when V
CC
rises above approximately
3.0 volts, the power switching circuit connects external
V
CC
to RAM and disconnects the lithium energy source.
Normal RAM operation can resume after V
CC
exceeds
4.75 volts for the DS1265AB and 4.5 volts for the
DS1265Y.
FRESHNESS SEAL
Each DS1265 device is shipped from Dallas Semicon-
ductor with its lithium energy source disconnected,
guaranteeing full energy capacity. When V
CC
is first
applied at a level greater than V
TP
, the lithium energy
source is enabled for battery backup operation.
