DS1218:Nonvolatile Controller

The DS1218 Nonvolatile Controller Chip supplies circuitry required to render standard CMOS RAM nonvolatile. VCC is monitored using a precise comparator that detects power-fail and inhibits chip-enable holding a write-protect status until power supplies return to nominal levels. The DS1218 switches active power supplies between VCC and a battery source, whichever is greater. The switch has a voltage drop of less than 0.2V.

Key Features
  • Converts CMOS RAM into nonvolatile memories
  • Unconditionally write protects when VCC is out of tolerance
  • Automatically switches to battery when power fail occurs
  • Space saving 8-pin PDIP or 8-pin 150 mil SO Packages
  • Consumes less than 100nA of battery current
