Product details
Overview
CY14B104N-BA25XI from Cypress Semiconductor is a 4 Mbit nonvolatile SRAM (nvSRAM) with 256K × 16 organization, 25 ns access time, single 3V (+20% to –10%) supply, and QuantumTrap® nonvolatile storage. It performs automatic STORE on power loss using VCAP capacitor support and supports software/hardware-initiated STORE/RECALL. Used in industrial control systems requiring persistent memory without battery backup.
For engineers reviewing the CY14B104N-BA25XI datasheet, CY14B104N-BA25XI pinout, CY14B104N-BA25XI application, or CY14B104N-BA25XI equivalent, key selection criteria include x16 bus width compatibility, HSB-driven hardware store timing, VCAP capacitor sizing (0.1 µF), AutoStore enable/disable sequence, and 200,000 STORE cycle endurance.
Technical Context
The CY14B104N implements a dual-cell architecture: standard SRAM for high-speed read/write and integrated QuantumTrap nonvolatile elements per cell. STORE transfers data from SRAM to nonvolatile storage; RECALL restores it on power-up - both operations occur in parallel across all cells.
It supports three STORE initiation methods: AutoStore (triggered by VCC drop below VSWITCH), hardware STORE (via active-low HSB assertion), and software STORE (six-address CE-read sequence). RECALL is triggered automatically at power-up or via six-address software sequence. BHE/ BLE pins enable byte-level control in x16 mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 4 Mbit (256K × 16), providing 512 KB of addressable word space for 16-bit microcontrollers and DSPs. |
| Access Time | 25 ns - ensures compatibility with 40 MHz bus timing in industrial MPU interfaces without wait states. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V ±10% - operates within standard 3.3 V rail tolerances; no separate VIO required. |
| STORE Endurance | 200,000 cycles - defines maximum guaranteed nonvolatile write operations before wear-out. |
| Data Retention | 20 years at 85°C - guarantees data integrity in extended-life embedded applications without refresh. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial temperature range, suitable for factory automation and transportation systems. |
| VCAP Capacitor | 0.1 µF ceramic - supplies energy for one full STORE operation during power failure; must be placed near VCAP pin. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-ball FBGA (7 mm × 9 mm, 0.8 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, industrial-grade reflow profile compatible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Input | 18-bit address bus for 256K-word addressing; A17 is MSB in x16 configuration. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Bidirectional Data I/O | 16-bit parallel data path; supports simultaneous read/write of full words without byte splitting. |
| CE#, WE#, OE# | Control Inputs | All active-low; CE# enables chip, WE# controls write strobe, OE# enables output buffers - standard SRAM timing interface. |
| BHE#, BLE# | Byte Enable | Independent control of upper (DQ8–DQ15) and lower (DQ0–DQ7) bytes - essential for partial-word writes in x16 mode. |
| HSB | Hardware Store Busy | Open-drain status/output pin: driven LOW during STORE/RECALL; pulled LOW externally to initiate hardware STORE. |
| VCAP | AutoStore Capacitor Supply | Internal regulator charges external 0.1 µF capacitor; provides hold-up energy for STORE during VCC collapse. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| QuantumTrap® Nonvolatile Cell | Embedded per-cell nonvolatile storage eliminates need for external EEPROM/NVRAM and battery backup circuitry. |
| AutoStore® on Power Loss | Automatic STORE triggered by VCC drop below VSWITCH (2.5 V typ); requires only 0.1 µF VCAP capacitor - no firmware intervention. |
| Software STORE/RECALL | Six-address CE-read sequence (e.g., 0x4E38 → 0x8FC0) initiates STORE; identical sequence ending in 0x4C63 triggers RECALL - fully controllable in firmware. |
| Hardware STORE Initiation | External pull-down of HSB pin starts conditional STORE after tDELAY; HSB remains LOW until completion - enables system-level power-fail coordination. |
| Infinite SRAM Read/Write Cycles | Standard SRAM behavior preserved - no wear-out mechanism affects volatile operation, enabling real-time logging and buffering. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Data Logging | Medical Device Parameter Storage |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Storing runtime configuration, calibration offsets, and last-known operational state in programmable logic controllers during unexpected AC mains loss. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile SRAM retains critical process data without battery; AutoStore activates within 100 ns of VCC drop detection.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| FM24V10-G from Cypress (now Infineon) | 2.7–3.6 V supply, 4 Mbit (512K × 8), 45 ns access, SPI interface - not pin-compatible; serial vs. parallel interface. | Used where board space is constrained and MCU has SPI but no parallel bus; lacks HSB and AutoStore capacitor interface. | Select when migrating from parallel to serial architecture; requires firmware rewrite for STORE/RECALL sequences. |
| AS1004-25JAI from Alliance Memory | 4 Mbit (512K × 8), 25 ns, 3V, same FBGA package but x8 organization; no HSB pin or AutoStore - requires external controller for NV backup. | Requires external CPLD/FPGA to manage STORE on power loss; no built-in VCAP regulation or software sequence support. | Choose only if x8 bus width suffices and system already implements external NV management logic. |
Compared with FM24V10-G and AS1004-25JAI, CY14B104N-BA25XI uniquely delivers x16 parallel interface, integrated AutoStore capacitor regulation, and HSB-driven hardware coordination - eliminating external components and firmware overhead for industrial power-fail resilience.

FAQ
What is the function of the HSB pin on CY14B104N-BA25XI?
The HSB (Hardware Store Busy) pin serves dual roles: it is an open-drain output that goes LOW during any STORE or RECALL operation to signal busy status, and it accepts an external LOW signal to initiate a hardware STORE. Internal weak pull-up holds it HIGH when unused. Its timing is defined by tDELAY (100 ns min) before STORE begins and tSTORE (10 ms max) for completion.
How is AutoStore disabled or re-enabled on CY14B104N-BA25XI?
AutoStore is disabled by executing a six-address CE-read sequence ending at 0x8B45; it is re-enabled by a sequence ending at 0x4C63. Both sequences require CE# LOW, WE# HIGH, and consecutive reads without intervening accesses. The disable sequence prevents unintended STORE during debug or low-power testing.
Can CY14B104N-BA25XI operate in x8 mode?
No - CY14B104N is strictly 256K × 16 (x16) organization. The CY14B104L variant supports 512K × 8 (x8). Pinout, address mapping (A0–A17), and byte-enable signals (BHE#/BLE#) are fixed for x16 operation; attempting x8 usage will result in incorrect addressing and data corruption.
What is the minimum VCAP capacitor value and type recommended for reliable AutoStore?
A 0.1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor is specified in the datasheet and validated for reliable AutoStore across temperature and voltage. It must be placed within 5 mm of the VCAP pin with low-inductance routing. Tantalum or electrolytic capacitors are not recommended due to ESR and aging effects that compromise STORE energy delivery.
