DS1265Y/AB
2 of 8
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 initiated. The
OE
control signal should be kept inactive (high) during write
cycles to avoid bus contention. However, 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 capability 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 protect 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 connects 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 Semiconductor 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.
