Data retention mode
With valid VCC applied, the M48T37Y/V operates as a conventional BYTEWIDE static
RAM. Should the supply voltage decay, the RAM will automatically power-fail deselect, write
protecting itself when VCC falls within the VPFD (max), VPFD (min) window. 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 currently addressed location,
but does not jeopardize the rest of the RAM's content. At voltages below VPFD (min), the
user can be assured the memory will be in a write protected state, provided the VCC fall time
is not less than tF.
The M48T37Y/V may respond to transient noise spikes on VCC that reach 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 which preserves data and powers the clock. The internal button
cell will maintain data in the M48T37Y/V for an accumulated period of at least 7 years at
room temperature when VCC is less than VSO. As system power returns and VCC rises
above VSO, the battery is disconnected and the power supply is switched to external VCC.
Normal RAM operation can resume tREC after VCC reaches VPFD (max).
