The U631H256 has two separate
modes of operation: SRAM mode
and nonvolatile mode. In SRAM
mode, the memory operates as an
ordinary static RAM. In nonvolatile
operation, data is transferred in
parallel from SRAM to EEPROM or
from EEPROM to SRAM. In this
mode SRAM functions are disab-
led.
The U631H256 is a fast static RAM
(25 ns), with a nonvolatile electri-
cally erasable PROM (EEPROM)
element incorporated in each static
memory cell. The SRAM can be
read and written an unlimited num-
ber of times, while independent
nonvolatile
data
EEPROM. Data transfers from the
SRAM to the EEPROM (the
STORE operation), or from the
EEPROM to the SRAM (the
RECALL operation) are initiated
through software sequences.
The U631H256 combines the high
performance and ease of use of a
fast SRAM with nonvolatile data
integrity.

Once a STORE cycle is initiated,
further input or output are disabled
until the cycle is completed.
Because a sequence of addresses
is used for STORE initiation, it is
important that no other read or
write accesses intervene in the
sequence or the sequence will be
aborted.
Internally, RECALL is a two step
procedure. First, the SRAM data is
cleared and second, the nonvola-
tile information is transferred into
the SRAM cells.
The RECALL operation in no way
alters the data in the EEPROM
cells. The nonvolatile data can be
recalled an unlimited number of
times.
The U631H256 is pin compatible
with standard SRAMs.
