M48T201Y, M48T201V Operation

Table 4. Write mode AC characteristics
2.4 Data retention mode
With valid V
CC
 applied, the M48T201Y/V can be accessed as described above with READ 
or WRITE cycles. Should the supply voltage decay, the M48T201Y/V will automatically 
deselect, write protecting itself (and any external SRAM) when V
CC
 falls between V
PFD
(max) and V
PFD
 (min). This is accomplished by internally inhibiting access to the clock 
registers via the E
 signal. At this time, the reset pin (RST) is driven active and will remain 
active until V
CC
 returns to nominal levels. External RAM access is inhibited in a similar 
manner by forcing E
CON
 to a high level. This level is within 0.2 V of the V
BAT
. E
CON
 will 
remain at this level as long as V
CC
 remains at an out-of-tolerance condition. When V
CC
 falls 
below the level of the battery (V
BAT
), power input is switched from the V
CC
 pin to the 
SNAPHAT
®
 battery and the clock registers are maintained from the attached battery supply. 
External RAM is also powered by the SNAPHAT battery. All outputs except G
CON
, E
CON
, 
RST
, IRQ/FT and V
OUT
, become high impedance. The V
OUT
 pin is capable of supplying 
100 µA of current to the attached memory with less than 0.3 V drop under this condition. On 
power up, when V
CC
 returns to a nominal value, write protection continues for 200 ms (max) 
by inhibiting E
CON
. The RST signal also remains active during this time (see Figure 14 on 
page 30).
