M48Z58, M48Z58Y Operating modes

Table 4. WRITE mode AC characteristics
2.3 Data retention mode
With valid V
CC
 applied, the M48Z58/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 M48Z58/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 M48Z58/Y for an 
accumulated period of at least 10 years 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
. Normal RAM operation can resume t
rec
 after V
CC
exceeds V
PFD 
(max).
