M48Z35, M48Z35Y Operating modes
Doc ID 2608 Rev 10 11/24
2.3 Data retention mode
With valid V
CC
applied, the M48Z35/Y operates as a conventional BYTEWIDE™ static
RAM. Should the supply voltage decay, the RAM will automatically power-fail deselect, write
protecting itself when V
CC
falls within the V
PFD
(max), V
PFD
(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 V
PFD
(min), the
user can be assured the memory will be in a write protected state, provided the V
CC
fall time
is not less than t
F
. The M48Z35/Y may respond to transient noise spikes on V
CC
that reach
into the deselect window during the time the device is sampling V
CC
. Therefore, decoupling
of the power supply lines is recommended.
When V
CC
drops below V
SO
, the control circuit switches power to the internal battery which
preserves data. The internal button cell will maintain data in the M48Z35/Y for an
accumulated period of at least 10 years (at 25°C) when V
CC
is less than V
SO
.
As system power returns and V
CC
rises above V
SO
, the battery is disconnected, and the
power supply is switched to external V
CC
. Write protection continues until V
CC
reaches
V
PFD
(min) plus t
REC
(min). Normal RAM operation can resume t
REC
after V
CC
exceeds
V
PFD
(max).

1. Valid for ambient operating temperature: T
A
= 0 to 70 °C; V
CC
= 4.75 to 5.5 V or 4.5 to 5.5 V (except where noted).
2. C
L
= 5 pF (see Figure 10 on page 15).
3. If E
goes low simultaneously with W going low, the outputs remain in the high impedance state.
