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, featuring AutoStore on power-down, Power-Up RECALL, and programmable square wave output (1 Hz / 512 Hz / 4.096 kHz / 32.768 kHz). It operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V, supports I²C up to 3.4 MHz, and delivers 0.45 µA typical RTC backup current - used in industrial data loggers for timestamped event storage with battery-backed timekeeping.
For engineers reviewing the CY14B101I datasheet, CY14B101I pinout, CY14B101I application, or CY14B101I equivalent, key selection considerations include I²C speed mode compatibility (Standard/Fast/Fast-Plus/High-Speed), dual backup options (capacitor or battery for RTC), hardware STORE/RECALL via HSB pin, and software-controlled memory protection granularity (1/4, 1/2, or full array).
Technical Context
The device integrates two independent functional blocks: a 128 K × 8 nvSRAM using QuantumTrap nonvolatile storage cells and a full-featured RTC with alarm, watchdog timer, and programmable square-wave generator. Memory STORE/RECALL is managed through three parallel mechanisms - automatic on power transition, I²C command, or HSB pin assertion.
RTC operation supports dual backup sources (VCAP-capacitor or VRTCbat-battery), with dedicated pins (XIN/XOUT) for 32.768 kHz crystal, INT/SQW pin configurable as interrupt or calibrated square-wave output, and backup current specified at 0.45 µA (typ) at 85 °C - enabling >20-year data retention under industrial thermal stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (128 K × 8) - provides byte-addressable nonvolatile storage without wear leveling overhead. |
| I²C Speed Support | Up to 3.4 MHz (High-Speed mode) - enables sub-300 µs write cycles for burst transfers in time-critical logging. |
| Operating Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with standard 3.3 V industrial logic rails and brown-out tolerant down to 2.7 V. |
| Data Retention | 20 years at 85 °C - validated for long-term deployment in uncooled industrial enclosures. |
| RTC Backup Current | 0.45 µA (typ) - allows CR2032 coin cell to sustain RTC >10 years without recharge or replacement. |
| STORE Endurance | 1 million cycles to QuantumTrap - supports daily power-cycle logging for >2,700 years of field operation. |
| Square Wave Outputs | 1 Hz / 512 Hz / 4.096 kHz / 32.768 kHz - selectable via register for system timing reference or low-power wake-up signaling. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit), RoHS-compliant, industrial temperature grade (–40 °C to +85 °C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply input | Primary 2.7–3.6 V supply for nvSRAM and RTC logic; decoupling required within 10 mm. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Digital ground return path shared by memory and RTC; separate analog ground not required. |
| SDA | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain I/O requiring external pull-up; supports all four I²C speed modes up to 3.4 MHz. |
| SCL | I²C clock input | Master-generated clock; rise/fall time constraints apply per I²C bus capacitance and speed mode. |
| WP | Hardware write protect | Active-low enable; internally pulled LOW - left floating for default unprotected operation. |
| HSB | Hardware STORE busy indicator | Drives LOW during STORE/RECALL; pulsed HIGH post-operation; also accepts external LOW pulse to trigger Hardware STORE. |
| VCAP | AutoStore capacitor supply | Connects to external capacitor (≥4.7 µF) to sustain STORE during VCC dropout; never connect to GND. |
| INT/SQW | Configurable interrupt/square wave | Programmable as active-HIGH push-pull or open-drain output; sources alarm, watchdog, or calibration signals. |
| XIN / XOUT | RTC crystal interface | Differential inputs for 32.768 kHz tuning fork crystal; requires load capacitors per crystal spec. |
| VRTCcap / VRTCbat | RTC backup source select | Exclusive use: VRTCcap for supercapacitor backup; VRTCbat for lithium coin cell - only one connected. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| QuantumTrap nonvolatile storage | Enables infinite SRAM read/write cycles with 1M STORE endurance and 20-year data retention at 85 °C. |
| Triple-mode STORE/RECALL control | Supports automatic (power-loss), software (I²C command), and hardware (HSB pin) initiation - ensures deterministic data persistence across failure modes. |
| Configurable RTC interrupt outputs | INT/SQW pin delivers alarm, watchdog timeout, or power-fail events as programmable active-HIGH or open-drain signals - eliminates need for external interrupt logic. |
| Multi-granularity memory protection | Software block protection locks 1/4, 1/2, or entire 128 K × 8 array - prevents accidental overwrite of critical firmware or calibration tables. |
| Low-power sleep mode | 8 µA standby current with I²C interface disabled - extends battery life in portable data acquisition systems between wake events. |
Applications
| Industrial Data Logger | Smart Energy Meter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous timestamped recording of sensor readings (temperature, pressure, voltage) during mains power interruption. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: nvSRAM preserves volatile log buffer; RTC maintains accurate UTC time stamping during blackouts using VRTCbat backup. Use Value: Eliminates need for external FRAM + discrete RTC, reducing BOM count and PCB area while guaranteeing synchronized time-stamped data recovery after >10-year battery life. | Use Scenario: Tamper-resistant energy consumption tracking with secure time-stamped billing intervals and power-fail event capture. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stores metering registers and tariff schedules in protected nvSRAM; RTC drives billing cycle interrupts and detects grid outage duration. Use Value: Achieves Class 0.5 accuracy compliance via 1 ppm RTC calibration support and prevents data loss during brownouts using AutoStore with ≥4.7 µF VCAP. |
| PLC I/O Module | Medical Diagnostic Recorder |
Use Scenario: Storing configuration parameters and last-known I/O states during unexpected controller reset or power loss. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as nonvolatile configuration store with hardware STORE triggered by PLC power-monitor circuit via HSB pin. Use Value: Enables <100 ms state recovery on reboot - meets IEC 61131-2 reaction time requirements without FPGA-based NVM or external EEPROM. | Use Scenario: Capturing ECG waveform snapshots with precise onset timing during arrhythmia detection events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Buffers raw waveform data in SRAM; RTC triggers INT/SQW interrupt on alarm match to initiate snapshot capture and timestamping. Use Value: Guarantees sub-millisecond timestamp alignment between analog front-end sampling and digital storage - critical for FDA 510(k) waveform traceability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nvSRAM+RTC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STK14CA8-NL35I | Parallel interface (32-bit), no integrated RTC, 1 Mbit nvSRAM only; requires external RTC and level-shifting for 3.3 V systems. | Lacks single-chip time-stamping; demands additional ICs and layout space for RTC + crystal + backup power management. | Select when legacy parallel bus architecture exists and RTC functionality is already implemented elsewhere. |
| DS1347Z+ | Standalone RTC with trickle-charge controller and 56-byte NV RAM; no 1-Mbit nvSRAM, no I²C high-speed mode support. | Insufficient memory for buffered logging; requires companion SRAM + nonvolatile storage solution for full data retention. | Select only for pure RTC functions where memory size <128 bytes suffices and I²C speed >400 kHz is unnecessary. |
Compared with STK14CA8-NL35I and DS1347Z+, CY14B101I uniquely integrates high-speed I²C nvSRAM and full-featured RTC in one SOIC package - eliminating inter-IC timing skew, reducing component count by ≥3, and enabling synchronized timestamped storage without external glue logic.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by CY14B101I?
The CY14B101I supports I²C High-Speed mode up to 3.4 MHz, in addition to Standard (100 kHz), Fast (400 kHz), and Fast-Plus (1 MHz) modes. All modes use the same physical interface and slave address scheme, but AC timing parameters vary per mode - refer to Table 33 (AC Switching Characteristics) in datasheet Rev. *M for setup/hold times and pulse widths specific to each speed.
Can VRTCcap and VRTCbat be used simultaneously for RTC backup?
No. VRTCcap and VRTCbat are mutually exclusive backup sources. Only one may be connected: VRTCcap for supercapacitor-based backup (low leakage, limited runtime), or VRTCbat for lithium coin cell (longer runtime, higher energy density). Connecting both violates absolute maximum ratings and risks damage to internal RTC power-switching circuitry.
How does AutoStore function during a gradual VCC droop?
AutoStore activates when VCC falls below the internal voltage monitor threshold (typically ~2.5 V for CY14B101I). The device uses charge stored on the external VCAP capacitor to complete STORE within 20 ms. Gradual droop must cross this threshold cleanly; if VCC lingers near threshold, AutoStore may not trigger reliably - design requires VCAP ≥4.7 µF and fast enough droop rate (>1 V/ms) per datasheet Figure 9.
Is the 8-byte serial number factory-programmed and lockable?
Yes. The 8-byte serial number is factory-programmed, unique per unit, and can be permanently locked via I²C command to prevent overwriting. Once locked, the serial number remains readable but cannot be modified - supporting traceability and anti-counterfeiting in regulated industries such as medical and utility metering.
