has an SRAM memory core with hidden EEPROM A small capacitor (typically 33 μF) is required for the backup. The device can be treated by the user as a full proper operation of the device. This capacitor is placed symmetrical read/write SRAM. Backup to EEPROM is between VCAP (pin 3) and the system VSS (see Normal handled by the device on any power disrupt, so the Device Operation). When power is first applied to the user can effectively view this device as an SRAM that device, this capacitor is charged to VCC through the never loses its data. device (see Normal Device Operation). During normal The device is structured as a 256-Kbit SRAM with SRAM operation, the capacitor remains charged to EEPROM backup in each memory cell. The SRAM is VCC and the level of system VCC is monitored by the organized as 32,768 x 8 bits and uses the SPI serial device. If system VCC drops below a set threshold, the interface. The SPI bus uses three signal lines for device interprets this as a power-off or brown-out communication: clock input (SCK), data in (SI), and event. The device suspends all I/O operation, shuts off data out (SO). Access to the device is controlled its connection with the VCC pin, and uses the saved through a Chip Select (CS) input, allowing any number energy in the capacitor to power the device through the of devices to share the same bus.

The backup EEPROM is invisible to the user and cannot be accessed by the user independently.
