Product details
Overview
CY14B104L-BA45XCT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 4 Mbit (512K × 8) nonvolatile SRAM with QuantumTrap® technology, operating at 45 ns access time, single 3V ±10% supply, and supporting AutoStore® on power loss via VCAP capacitor. It performs hardware/software STORE and RECALL operations, enabling data retention without external backup power in industrial control logging systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY14B104L-BA45XCT datasheet, CY14B104L-BA45XCT pinout, CY14B104L-BA45XCT application, or CY14B104L-BA45XCT equivalent, key selection criteria include x8 vs x16 configuration compatibility, HSB-driven store timing, VCAP capacitance requirement (0.1 µF), and 200,000 STORE cycle endurance.
Technical Context
The CY14B104L-BA45XCT integrates parallel SRAM and QuantumTrap nonvolatile cells per bit, enabling simultaneous STORE/RECALL across all 524,288 bytes. Its architecture supports three STORE initiation modes: AutoStore on VCC drop below VSWITCH, hardware STORE via HSB pin assertion, and software STORE via six-address CE-read sequence.
It uses 19 address lines (A0–A18) for x8 mode, 8-bit bidirectional DQ0–DQ7 I/O, and active-low control signals CE, OE, and WE. The HSB pin serves dual role: open-drain busy indicator during STORE/RECALL and hardware trigger input, with internal weak pull-up when unconnected.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 4 Mbit (512K × 8), fixed x8 organization for this variant |
| Access Time | 45 ns - defines maximum clock-to-data valid delay in read cycles |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V ±10% - requires stable 2.7–3.6 V rail; no 5 V tolerance |
| STORE Endurance | 200,000 cycles - limits total nonvolatile write events over lifetime |
| Data Retention | 20 years at +85°C - guaranteed nonvolatile data hold without refresh |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial temperature range |
| VCAP Capacitor | 0.1 µF - minimum ceramic capacitor required for AutoStore operation |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-ball Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA), 6 mm × 8 mm, RoHS-compliant, lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| OE | Input | Active-low output enable; controls data buffer drive during reads |
| WE | Input | Active-low write enable; latches DQ data into SRAM when CE LOW |
| HSB | I/O | Open-drain hardware store busy/status pin; LOW = STORE/RECALL in progress or initiated |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STK14C88-45I | 4 Mbit nvSRAM, 45 ns, 3V, but uses older SONOS nonvolatile technology; 100K STORE cycles, 10-year retention | Lacks HSB pin and software STORE/RECALL sequences; relies solely on VCAP-based AutoStore | Choose if simpler interface suffices and 10-year retention meets requirements; avoid for high-reliability 20-year deployments |
| FM24V04-G | 4 Mbit F-RAM, 3V, 55 ns, unlimited endurance, but no AutoStore - requires external power-fail detection and MCU-controlled save | No built-in power-loss detection or VCAP support; needs external circuitry for STORE triggering | Prefer when infinite write cycles are mandatory and system can dedicate GPIO/interrupt for power-fail signaling |
Compared with STK14C88-45I and FM24V04-G, the CY14B104L-BA45XCT uniquely combines 20-year retention, hardware-triggered STORE via HSB, and zero-software-overhead AutoStore - making it optimal for industrial systems requiring autonomous, deterministic nonvolatile save without MCU supervision.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCAP capacitance required for reliable AutoStore operation?
The CY14B104L-BA45XCT requires a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor on the VCAP pin to ensure sufficient energy for one complete STORE operation during VCC dropout. Larger values (e.g., 0.22 µF) improve margin under worst-case voltage droop and temperature extremes but do not extend STORE endurance.
Can the HSB pin be left unconnected if hardware STORE is not used?
Yes - the HSB pin has an internal weak pull-up resistor and may be left floating if hardware STORE initiation and busy indication are unused. In that case, STORE operations rely solely on AutoStore (power loss) or software sequence, and HSB remains HIGH during normal operation.
Does the CY14B104L-BA45XCT support x16 data width?
No - the CY14B104L variant is strictly 512K × 8 (x8). The x16 configuration is implemented only in the CY14B104N part number. Pinouts, address mapping (A0–A17), and byte-enable signals (BHE/BLE) differ; mixing them causes functional failure.
How does the software STORE sequence prevent accidental activation?
The software STORE requires six exact CE-controlled read cycles to specific addresses (0x4E38, 0xB1C7, 0x83E0, 0x7C1F, 0x703F, 0x8FC0) in order, with WE held HIGH throughout. Any intervening write, address violation, or timing violation (e.g., exceeding tSS) aborts the sequence - ensuring robustness against spurious noise or firmware errors.
