Product details
Overview
CY14B101I from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 1-Mbit serial I²C nonvolatile SRAM with integrated real-time clock, organized as 128 K × 8, supporting AutoStore on power-loss via VCAP capacitor, Power-Up RECALL, and full RTC functionality including alarm, watchdog timer, and programmable square-wave output (1 Hz to 32.768 kHz). It operates across 2.7–3.6 V and is deployed in industrial metering systems requiring deterministic data retention during brownouts.
For engineers reviewing the CY14B101I datasheet, CY14B101I pinout, CY14B101I application, or CY14B101I equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C speed support up to 3.4 MHz, RTC backup current (0.45 µA typ), STORE endurance (1 million cycles), and hardware STORE/RECALL via HSB pin - all critical for fail-safe time-stamped logging in energy infrastructure controllers.
Technical Context
The device integrates QuantumTrap nonvolatile storage with standard SRAM, enabling infinite SRAM read/write cycles and deterministic STORE/RECALL transitions synchronized to power events or I²C commands. Its RTC subsystem includes independent counters, alarm registers, and interrupt generation tied to INT/SQW pin.
I²C interface supports Standard (100 kHz), Fast (400 kHz), Fast-Plus (1 MHz), and High-Speed (3.4 MHz) modes with zero-cycle-delay reads/writes. The memory slave and RTC slave share separate I²C sub-address spaces, accessed via distinct slave addresses and register maps defined in the control logic block.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory density | 1 Mbit (128 K × 8) - provides sufficient buffer for timestamped event logs in smart meters without external memory expansion |
| I²C speed support | Up to 3.4 MHz - enables high-throughput configuration and log writes without CPU polling overhead |
| STORE endurance | 1 million cycles - guarantees reliable nonvolatile write lifetime over 10+ years of daily power cycling in utility equipment |
| RTC backup current | 0.45 µA typical - allows >5-year operation on a single CR2032 coin cell when VRTCbat is used |
| Operating voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - matches standard 3.3 V industrial supply rails and tolerates ±10% regulation drift |
| Data retention | 20 years at 85 °C - ensures long-term integrity of calibration and firmware parameters in hot enclosures |
| Square wave outputs | 1 Hz / 512 Hz / 4096 Hz / 32.768 kHz - selectable for system timing reference, LED blink control, or oscillator calibration |
Pinout & Package
16-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package with 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +85 °C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SCL | I²C clock input | Accepts master-generated clock up to 3.4 MHz; open-drain requires external pull-up |
| SDA | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain I/O for memory and RTC register access; shares bus with other I²C peripherals |
| WP | Hardware write protect | Active-low input; internally pulled down - left unconnected for default unprotected operation |
| HSB | Hardware STORE busy indicator | Output goes LOW during STORE; input triggers immediate STORE when pulled LOW externally |
| VCAP | AutoStore capacitor supply | Connects to external capacitor (≥4.7 µF) to sustain STORE during VCC dropout (min. 10 ms hold-up) |
| VRTCcap / VRTCbat | RTC backup power source | Select one: capacitor (low-leakage) or battery (long-term); both isolated from main VCC domain |
| INT/SQW | Interrupt/square wave output | Configurable as active-HIGH push-pull or open-drain; delivers alarm, watchdog, or clock signals |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AutoStore on power-down | Guaranteed STORE execution using VCAP capacitor without host intervention during brownout or shutdown |
| Power-Up RECALL | SRAM restored automatically at VCC ramp-up - eliminates boot-time initialization delay for time-critical systems |
| Independent RTC slave address | Enables concurrent access to memory and RTC registers without bus arbitration or register conflicts |
| Programmable square wave output | Four fixed frequencies (1 Hz to 32.768 kHz) usable as system tick, calibration reference, or UI feedback signal |
| Hardware STORE trigger via HSB | Allows deterministic, low-latency nonvolatile save on critical events (e.g., fault detection) independent of I²C bus state |
Applications
| Smart Electricity Meter | Industrial PLC Data Logger |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous energy consumption logging with timestamped events during grid instability.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nvSRAM+RTC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STK14CA8-NF5A | Parallel interface (not I²C); no integrated RTC; uses NVSRAM-only architecture with external crystal | Requires MCU GPIO expansion and separate RTC IC - increases BOM count and PCB area | Choose only if legacy parallel bus interface is mandated and RTC can be implemented externally |
| DS1347Z+ | Standalone RTC with trickle-charge lithium backup; no nvSRAM - memory must be added separately | Lacks nonvolatile memory; relies on external FRAM or EEPROM for event logging | Select when precise RTC accuracy (±2 ppm) is prioritized over integrated memory, and memory size is small (<64 KB) |
Compared with STK14CA8-NF5A and DS1347Z+, CY14B101I uniquely combines I²C-accessible 1-Mbit nvSRAM and full-featured RTC in one SOIC-16 package - reducing component count, simplifying layout, and guaranteeing atomic STORE/RECALL coordination between time and data domains.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCAP capacitance required for reliable AutoStore operation?
The datasheet specifies a minimum 4.7 µF tantalum or low-ESR ceramic capacitor on VCAP to ensure ≥10 ms hold-up time during VCC dropout. Using smaller values risks incomplete STORE operations under fast-ramp power loss conditions. Capacitor voltage rating must exceed maximum VCC by ≥20%.
Can the RTC operate independently while the nvSRAM is in sleep mode?
Yes - the RTC continues running in sleep mode (8 µA typical) as long as either VRTCcap or VRTCbat is powered. The nvSRAM core is disabled, but RTC registers remain accessible via I²C, and alarm/interrupt functions remain fully operational.
How does the HSB pin behave during a Software STORE command?
HSB is driven LOW only during Hardware STORE (triggered by pulling HSB low) and AutoStore (power-down). During Software STORE initiated via I²C command, HSB remains HIGH and unaffected - software status must be polled via the Status Register instead.
Is the CY14B101I compatible with 1.8 V I²C buses?
No - the device requires VCC between 2.7 V and 3.6 V and is not 1.8 V tolerant. Its I²C pins are specified for 3.3 V logic levels only. Interfacing with 1.8 V masters requires level-shifting circuitry compliant with I²C open-drain timing constraints.
