Product details
Overview
CY14ME064J2A-SXI from Cypress Semiconductor is a 64-Kbit (8K × 8) serial I²C nonvolatile SRAM with QuantumTrap technology, operating at 4.5–5.5 V. It supports AutoStore on power-down, Software STORE/RECALL via I²C, and delivers 3.4 MHz high-speed interface performance. Used in industrial control systems for real-time data retention during unexpected power loss.
For engineers reviewing the CY14ME064J2A-SXI datasheet, CY14ME064J2A-SXI pinout, CY14ME064J2A-SXI application, or CY14ME064J2A-SXI equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C speed mode support (up to 3.4 MHz), VCAP-backed AutoStore reliability, WP pin hardware write protection, and 8-pin SOIC compatibility with legacy 5V microcontroller buses.
Technical Context
This nvSRAM integrates volatile SRAM and nonvolatile QuantumTrap storage in each cell, enabling seamless STORE (SRAM → nonvolatile) and RECALL (nonvolatile → SRAM) operations. It uses standard 7-bit I²C addressing with A2/A1 slave address pins and supports Fast-mode Plus (1 MHz) and High Speed mode (3.4 MHz).
The device implements zero-cycle-delay reads/writes, automatic power-loss detection via VCAP, and configurable software/hardware write protection. Its internal power control logic manages STORE initiation without external supervision when VCAP is connected, distinguishing it from J1A variants lacking AutoStore.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| FM24V06-G | 64 Kbit F-RAM, 2.7–5.5 V, no VCAP required, unlimited STORE cycles | Lacks AutoStore trigger; relies on host-controlled STORE command only | Select for highest endurance where power-loss predictability allows host-managed STORE |
| AT24C512B-MAU-Y | 512 Kbit I²C EEPROM, 1.7–5.5 V, 100 k write cycles, 100-year retention | No SRAM interface; byte-write latency ~5 ms; no zero-cycle reads | Select for cost-sensitive, low-bandwidth logging where write frequency is low and latency acceptable |
Compared with FM24V06-G and AT24C512B-MAU-Y, CY14ME064J2A-SXI uniquely combines SRAM-speed access, deterministic AutoStore on power failure, and 5V-native operation - making it optimal for real-time industrial control where data coherency during brownout is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the function of the VCAP pin?
The VCAP pin connects an external capacitor that supplies hold-up power during VCC collapse, enabling automatic STORE of SRAM contents to QuantumTrap nonvolatile elements. It must never be tied to ground or left floating without disabling AutoStore; typical values range from 4.7 µF to 47 µF depending on expected power-loss duration and system load.
How does AutoStore differ between CY14ME064J1A and CY14ME064J2A?
CY14ME064J2A supports AutoStore - automatic STORE triggered by VCC drop - while CY14ME064J1A lacks this feature and requires Software STORE only. This distinction is hardware-defined and cannot be enabled via firmware or configuration register.
Can the WP pin be used for both hardware and software write protection simultaneously?
Yes. The WP pin provides global hardware-level write disable (active-high), while software block protection allows selective locking of 1/4, 1/2, or full memory array via I²C commands. Both protections are enforced concurrently - if WP is asserted, software locks become irrelevant.
Is CY14ME064J2A-SXI compatible with standard I²C bus timing specifications?
Yes. It complies with standard I²C timing for Standard (100 kHz), Fast (400 kHz), Fast-mode Plus (1 MHz), and High Speed (3.4 MHz) modes. SDA setup/hold times, pulse widths, and rise/fall characteristics meet I²C specification limits across all supported speeds, including proper open-drain behavior and ACK generation.
