READ MODE
The DS1265 devices execute a read cycle whenever
WE (Write Enable) is inactive (high) and CE (Chip
Enable) and OE (Output Enable) are active (low). The
unique address specified by the 20 address inputs (A0 –
A19) defines which of the 1,048,576 bytes of data is
accessed. V alid data will be available to the eight data
output drivers within tACC (Access Time) after the last
address input signal is stable, providing that CE and OE
(Output Enable) access times are also satisfied. If OE
and CE access times are not satisfied, then data access
must be measured from the later occurring signal (CE or
OE) and the limiting parameter is either tCO for CE or tOE
for OE rather than tACC.
WRITE MODE
The DS1265 devices execute a write cycle whenever
WE and CE signals are active (low) after address inputs
are stable. The later occurring falling edge of CE or WE
will determine the start of the write cycle. The write cycle
is terminated by the earlier rising edge of CE or WE. All
address inputs must be kept valid throughout the write
cycle. WE must return to the high state for a minimum
recovery time (tWR) before another cycle can be initi-
ated. The OE control signal should be kept inactive
(high) during write cycles to avoid bus contention. How-
ever, if the output drivers are enabled (CE and OE
active) then WE will disable the outputs in tODW from its
falling edge.
DATA RETENTION MODE
The DS1265AB provides full functional capability for
VCC greater than 4.75 volts and write protects by
4.5 volts. The DS1265Y provides full functional capabil-
ity for VCC greater than 4.5 volts and write protects by
4.25 volts. Data is maintained in the absence of VCC
without any additional support circuitry . The nonvolatile
static RAMs constantly monitor VCC. Should the supply
voltage decay, the NV SRAMs automatically write pro-
tect themselves, all inputs become don’t care, and all
outputs become high impedance. As VCC falls below
approximately 3.0 volts, a power switching circuit con-
nects the lithium energy source to RAM to retain data.
During power–up, when VCC rises above approximately
3.0 volts, the power switching circuit connects external
VCC to RAM and disconnects the lithium energy source.
Normal RAM operation can resume after VCC exceeds
4.75 volts for the DS1265AB and 4.5 volts for the
DS1265Y.
FRESHNESS SEAL
Each DS1265 device is shipped from Dallas Semicon-
ductor with its lithium energy source disconnected,
guaranteeing full energy capacity. When VCC is first
applied at a level greater than VTP, the lithium energy
source is enabled for battery backup operation.
