Product details
Overview
CY14B104N-BA25XIT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 4 Mbit nonvolatile SRAM (nvSRAM) with 256K × 16 organization, QuantumTrap® nonvolatile storage, 25 ns access time, and single 3V (+20% to –10%) supply operation. It performs automatic STORE on power loss using VCAP capacitor support and supports software/hardware-initiated STORE/RECALL cycles. Used in industrial PLCs for real-time data logging during unexpected power failure.
For engineers reviewing the CY14B104N-BA25XIT datasheet, CY14B104N-BA25XIT pinout, CY14B104N-BA25XIT application, or CY14B104N-BA25XIT equivalent, key selection criteria include x16 bus interface compatibility, HSB-driven hardware store timing, VCAP capacitance requirement (0.1 µF), and 200,000 STORE cycle endurance - all critical for deterministic fail-safe memory retention in embedded control systems.
Technical Context
This nvSRAM integrates parallel SRAM and QuantumTrap nonvolatile cells per bit, enabling simultaneous STORE/RECALL across all 256K words without block erasure. The architecture decouples volatile read/write (infinite cycles) from nonvolatile STORE (200K cycles) and RECALL (infinite cycles), with tSTORE = 15 ms and tRECALL = 12 ms typical.
AutoStore triggers when VCC drops below VSWITCH (2.7 V min), using charge stored on VCAP to complete one full STORE. HSB serves dual role: open-drain status indicator (LOW during STORE/RECALL) and hardware trigger input (pulled LOW to initiate STORE), with tDELAY = 100 ns before operation start.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 4 Mbit organized as 256K × 16 - directly interfaces 16-bit microprocessor data buses without glue logic. |
| Access Time | 25 ns - enables direct connection to high-speed controllers (e.g., ARM9, SH-4) operating at ≤40 MHz bus clocks. |
| Nonvolatile Endurance | 200,000 STORE cycles - defines maximum safe power-loss events before QuantumTrap wear-out; RECALL is unlimited. |
| Data Retention | 20 years at +85°C - guarantees long-term data integrity in industrial environments without battery backup. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V ±10% (2.7–3.6 V) - compatible with standard 3.3 V LDOs; no separate VIO rail required. |
| VCAP Capacitor | 0.1 µF ceramic - provides sufficient energy for one full STORE operation during VCC dropout; placed adjacent to VCAP pin. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial temperature range, supporting deployment in motor drives and factory automation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-ball FBGA (6 mm × 8 mm, 0.8 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Input | 18-bit address bus for 256K-word addressing; A17 is MSB, no A18 used in x16 mode. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Input/Output | 16-bit bidirectional data bus; supports byte-level writes via BHE/BLE control. |
| CE, WE, OE | Input | Active-low chip enable, write enable, output enable - standard SRAM control timing with tAA = 25 ns. |
| BHE, BLE | Input | Byte enable controls for upper/lower 8 bits; required for partial-word writes in x16 configuration. |
| HSB | Input/Output | Open-drain hardware store busy signal - driven LOW during STORE/RECALL; pulled LOW externally to trigger hardware STORE. |
| VCAP | Power Supply | Capacitor connection point for AutoStore energy storage; internally regulated to ~2.5 V during power loss. |
| VCC, VSS | Power | Single 3V supply and ground - no VIO or auxiliary rails; VSS pins must be low-inductance connected to system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| QuantumTrap® Nonvolatile Cell | Embedded per-bit nonvolatile element enabling true infinite SRAM reads/writes while retaining 20-year data retention without batteries or external EEPROM. |
| Hardware Store Busy (HSB) | Dual-function pin providing real-time STORE/RECALL status indication and hardware-triggered initiation - eliminates need for polling or software overhead. |
| AutoStore® on Power Loss | Automatic STORE triggered by VCC drop below 2.7 V, using charge from 0.1 µF VCAP capacitor - ensures zero-data-loss during brownout or sudden shutdown. |
| Software STORE/RECALL Sequences | Six-address read sequences (e.g., 0x4E38 → 0xB1C7 → … → 0x8FC0) enable deterministic, firmware-controlled nonvolatile operations without external signals. |
| x16 Bus Interface Support | Native 256K × 16 organization with BHE/BLE enables direct integration with 16-bit microcontrollers and DSPs - avoids address/data multiplexing or bus-width conversion. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| FM24V04-G | F-RAM-based 4 Mbit (512K × 8); 15 ns access; no STORE delay; unlimited endurance; requires 2.7–3.6 V. | Supports true random write without STORE latency; lacks x16 bus interface and HSB signaling - needs external logic for 16-bit alignment. | Select when deterministic sub-microsecond writes and >1014 write cycles are required, and x16 interface is not mandatory. |
| MB85RS4MT | FeRAM-based 4 Mbit (512K × 8); 25 ns access; 1015 endurance; SPI interface only; no parallel bus support. | Serial interface reduces PCB routing complexity but adds CPU overhead for burst transfers; incompatible with existing SRAM bus designs. | Select for space-constrained designs where SPI integration simplifies layout, and bandwidth demands are ≤10 MB/s. |
Compared with FM24V04-G and MB85RS4MT, CY14B104N-BA25XIT uniquely delivers native x16 parallel interface, hardware-managed STORE/RECALL via HSB, and guaranteed 20-year retention - making it optimal for legacy SRAM bus upgrades requiring zero firmware changes and deterministic power-loss response.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCAP capacitance required for reliable AutoStore operation?
The CY14B104N-BA25XIT requires a 0.1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor on the VCAP pin, placed within 5 mm of the package. This value ensures sufficient energy for one full STORE operation during VCC dropout down to 2.7 V. Larger capacitors do not extend STORE capability but improve margin against rapid voltage decay.
Can HSB be left unconnected if hardware STORE is not used?
Yes - HSB has an internal weak pull-up and may be left floating if unused. When disconnected, the pin remains HIGH during normal operation and does not affect SRAM functionality. It only becomes active (driven LOW) during STORE/RECALL or when externally pulled LOW to initiate hardware STORE.
How does the software STORE sequence prevent accidental activation?
The six-address sequence (0x4E38 → 0xB1C7 → 0x83E0 → 0x7C1F → 0x703F → 0x8FC0) must be executed as consecutive CE-controlled reads with WE held HIGH. Any intervening write, address violation, or timing violation (e.g., tSS < 100 ns between reads) aborts the sequence - ensuring STORE is never triggered by noise or spurious accesses.
Is the CY14B104N-BA25XIT pin-compatible with other Cypress nvSRAMs?
No - CY14B104N-BA25XIT uses a 48-ball FBGA package with x16-specific pinout (including BHE/BLE and A17). It is not pin-compatible with CY14B104L (x8), CY14B108N (8 Mbit), or legacy CY14B101 (1 Mbit), which differ in ball count, address width, and byte-enable signal placement.
