GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The HMN12816D 128K x 16 nonvolatile SRAM’s are 2,097,152-bit fully static, nonvolatile SRAM’s, organized as

131,072 words by 16 bits. Each NVSRAM has a self contained lithium energy source and control circuitry which

constantly monitors Vcc for an out-of-tolerance condition. When such a condition occurs, the lithium energy source is automatically switched on and write protection is unconditionally enabled to prevent data corruption. DIP-package HMN12816D devices can be used in place of solutions which build nonvolatile 128Kx16 memory by utilizing a variety of discrete components. There is no limit on the number of write cycles that can be executed and no additional support circuitry is required for microprocessor interfacing.
