Product details
Overview
STK11C88-NF45I from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256 Kbit (32K × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with integrated QuantumTrap nvSRAM technology, operating at 45 ns access time on a single 5V ±10% supply. It delivers unlimited SRAM read/write endurance, 1,000,000 STORE cycles, 100-year data retention, and automatic hardware RECALL on power-up - used in industrial control modules for persistent configuration storage during brownout events.
For engineers reviewing the STK11C88-NF45I datasheet, STK11C88-NF45I pinout, STK11C88-NF45I application, or STK11C88-NF45I equivalent, key selection criteria include software-initiated STORE/RECALL sequence compatibility, SOIC-28 package footprint alignment with legacy SRAM designs, VCC=4.5–5.5V operation, and industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The STK11C88-NF45I integrates volatile SRAM and nonvolatile QuantumTrap memory cells in a unified 32K × 8 array. Its dual-mode operation supports standard SRAM read/write cycles and atomic software-controlled STORE/RECALL via six-address CE-controlled READ sequences (e.g., 0x0E38 → 0x0FC0 for STORE).
Hardware RECALL triggers automatically when VCC rises above VSWITCH after power loss, completing in tHRECALL ≤ 20 ms. The device enforces hardware protection below VSWITCH, disabling STORE and WRITE operations to prevent corruption during undervoltage conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 256 Kbit (32K × 8) - supports full byte-wide data bus interface without address multiplexing |

Pinout & Package
STK11C88-NF45I is housed in a 28-pin SOIC (300 mil width) package with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant and compatible with standard surface-mount reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus selects one of 32,768 bytes; no multiplexing required |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Bidirectional Data I/O | 8-bit parallel data path shared for read and write; tristated when OE HIGH or during STORE/RECALL |
| WE | Write Enable (Active LOW) | Controls SRAM write initiation; must remain HIGH during software STORE/RECALL address sequences |
| CE | Chip Enable (Active LOW) | Enables device operation; used as clocking signal for six-cycle STORE/RECALL command execution |
| OE | Output Enable (Active LOW) | Activates output drivers during reads; kept HIGH during writes to avoid bus contention |
| VCC | Power Supply | 5V ±10% input; powers both SRAM and QuantumTrap cells; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF) required |
| VSS | Ground | System reference ground; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software STORE/RECALL | Atomic 6-address CE-controlled READ sequence (e.g., 0x0E38 → 0x0FC0) enables deterministic nonvolatile save without dedicated control pins |
| Automatic Power-Up RECALL | Hardware-triggered restore from QuantumTrap cells within tHRECALL ≤ 20 ms after VCC exceeds VSWITCH, ensuring boot-time data integrity |
| Hardware Undervoltage Protection | Disables STORE and WRITE when VCC < VSWITCH, preventing partial writes or cell corruption during brownouts |
| Unlimited SRAM Endurance | Supports continuous real-time data logging and buffer updates without wear-out concerns |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY14B108ZSC-BAI | 1 Mbit density, 25 ns access, SPI interface, built-in RTC, requires separate STORE command register access | Higher density and integrated timekeeping; not pin-compatible; needs SPI driver integration | Select when system requires timestamped logging and >256 Kbit capacity; accept added firmware complexity |
| AS6C4008-55TIN | Standard 512 Kbit SRAM, no nonvolatile capability, 55 ns access, same SOIC-28 package | No STORE/RECALL functionality; requires external EEPROM + power-fail detection circuitry | Select only if nonvolatility is handled externally and board space allows additional components |
Compared with CY14B108ZSC-BAI and AS6C4008-55TIN, STK11C88-NF45I uniquely delivers pin-compatible nvSRAM functionality with zero external components, deterministic 45 ns timing, and proven field reliability in legacy industrial deployments - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained upgrades of existing 32K × 8 SRAM designs.

FAQ
What is the exact STORE sequence for STK11C88-NF45I?
The STORE operation requires six consecutive CE-controlled READ cycles to specific addresses in strict order: 0x0E38, 0x31C7, 0x03E0, 0x3C1F, 0x303F, then 0x0FC0. WE must remain HIGH throughout; OE may be HIGH or LOW. The device disables I/O after the sixth address until tSTORE (max 20 ms) completes.
Does STK11C88-NF45I require external circuitry for power-fail RECALL?
No. Hardware RECALL activates automatically when VCC rises above VSWITCH (~3.0 V) after power loss, restoring data from QuantumTrap cells to SRAM in ≤20 ms. A 10 kΩ pull-up resistor on CE or WE is recommended to prevent corruption if the device is in WRITE mode at power-up.
Can STK11C88-NF45I be used in new designs despite "Not recommended for new designs" status?
Yes - Cypress maintains active production solely to support ongoing programs. STK11C88-NF45I remains available with full datasheet compliance, industrial temperature rating, and 100-year retention. Aetrix guarantees supply continuity and provides obsolescence mitigation guidance for long-lifecycle projects.
How does QuantumTrap technology differ from conventional nvSRAM architectures?
QuantumTrap embeds nonvolatile storage directly into each SRAM cell using charge-trapping silicon nitride layers, eliminating separate EEPROM arrays or ferroelectric capacitors. This yields unlimited RECALL cycles, no write-disturb effects, and immunity to radiation-induced bit flips - validated over 15+ years in field-deployed industrial systems.
