Description

The Cypress STK17TA8 combines a 1 Mb nonvolatile static RAM

(nvSRAM) with a full featured real time clock in a reliable,

monolithic integrated circuit.
The 1 Mb nvSRAM is a fast static RAM with a nonvolatile

Quantum Trap storage element included with each memory cell. 
The SRAM provides the fast access and cycle times, ease of use

and unlimited read and write endurance of a normal SRAM. Data

transfers automatically to the nonvolatile storage cells when

power loss is detected (the STORE operation). On power up,

data is automatically restored to the SRAM (the RECALL

operation). Both STORE and RECALL operations are also

available under software control. 
The real time clock function provides an accurate clock with leap

year tracking and a programmable, high accuracy oscillator. The

Alarm function is programmable for one-time alarms or periodic

minutes, hours, or days alarms. There is also a programmable

watchdog timer for processor control.
