Data retention mode
With valid VCC applied, the M48T512Y/V operates as a conventional BYTEWIDE static
RAM. Should the supply voltage decay, the RAM will automatically deselect, write protecting
itself when VCC falls between VPFD (max) and VPFD (min). All outputs become high
impedance and all inputs are treated as “Don't care.”
Note:
A power failure during a WRITE cycle may corrupt data at the current addressed location,
but does not jeopardize the rest of the RAM's content. At voltages below VPFD (min), the
memory will be in a write protected state, provided the VCC fall time is not less than tF. The
M48T512Y/V may respond to transient noise spikes on VCC that cross into the deselect
window during the time the device is sampling VCC.Therefore, decoupling of the power
supply lines is recommended. When VCC drops below VSO, the control circuit switches
power to the internal battery, preserving data and powering the clock. The internal energy
source will maintain data in the M48T512Y/V for an accumulated period of at least 10 years
at room temperature. As system power rises above VSO, the battery is disconnected, and
the power supply is switched to external VCC. Write protection continues until VCC reaches
VPFD (min) plus tREC (min). Normal RAM operation can resume tREC after VCC exceeds
VPFD (max). Refer to Application Note (AN1012) on the ST website for more information on
battery life.
