FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The Xicor X20C17 is a 2K x 8 NOVRAM featuring a highspeed static RAM overlaid bit-for-bit with a nonvolatile electrically erasable PROM (E 2 PROM) and the AUTOSTORE feature which automatically saves the RAM contents to E2PROM at power-down. The X20C17 is fabricated with advanced CMOS floating gate technology to achieve high speed with low power and wide power-supply margin. The X20C17 features a compatible JEDEC approved byte-wide memory pinout for industry standard SRAMs. The NOVRAM design allows data to be easily transferred from RAM to E2PROM (store) and E2PROM to RAM (recall). The store operation is completed in 2.5ms or less.
