Product details
Overview
STK22C48-NF45I from Cypress Semiconductor is a 16-Kbit (2 K × 8) nonvolatile SRAM with AutoStore™ functionality, integrating QuantumTrap™ nonvolatile elements in each memory cell. It operates at 5 V ±10%, delivers 45 ns access time, supports unlimited SRAM read/write cycles, and guarantees 1,000,000 STORE cycles and 100-year data retention - deployed in industrial control modules requiring persistent state storage during uncontrolled power loss.
For engineers reviewing the STK22C48-NF45I datasheet, STK22C48-NF45I pinout, STK22C48-NF45I application, or STK22C48-NF45I equivalent, key selection criteria include AutoStore timing behavior, VCAP capacitor sizing (68 µF), HSB-driven hardware STORE control, and compatibility with 28-pin SOIC footprint in legacy 5 V systems.
Technical Context
The STK22C48-NF45I combines a standard fast SRAM array (32 × 512) with parallel QuantumTrap nonvolatile cells, enabling simultaneous STORE/RECALL of all 2,048 bytes. STORE is triggered automatically on VCC drop below VSWITCH (typ. 3.6 V), via HSB assertion, or by software sequence; RECALL occurs on power-up or when VCC exceeds VSWITCH.
It uses a dedicated VCAP pin to source energy for STORE operations, requiring an external 68–220 µF capacitor. During STORE or RECALL, SRAM access is inhibited, and HSB functions as open-drain busy indicator with internal pull-up - supporting system-level coordination without polling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 16 Kbit (2 K × 8); supports byte-wide interface with full addressability across 2,048 locations. |
| Access time | 45 ns; defines maximum clock-to-data delay for read cycles under 5 V operation. |
| STORE endurance | 1,000,000 cycles; limits total nonvolatile write events before QuantumTrap wear-out. |
| Data retention | 100 years at +85°C; ensures data integrity in industrial environments without refresh. |
| Operating voltage | 5 V ±10% (4.5–5.5 V); requires stable 5 V rail and bypass capacitor (0.1 µF) between VCC and VSS. |
| VCAP capacitor | 68 µF minimum; supplies energy for single STORE operation during power failure. |
| Temperature range | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications with thermal cycling. |
Pinout & Package
STK22C48-NF45I is housed in a 28-pin 300-mil Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant, and rated for industrial temperature operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A10 | Address input | 11-bit address bus selecting one of 2,048 memory locations; latched on CE/WE transitions. |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Bidirectional data I/O | 8-bit parallel data path; tri-stated when OE = HIGH or during STORE/RECALL. |
| WE | Write enable | Active-low control; initiates SRAM write when CE = LOW and HSB = HIGH. |
| CE | Chip enable | Active-low chip select; disables device and reduces standby current when HIGH. |
| OE | Output enable | Active-low output control; enables DQ drivers during read; must be HIGH during write. |
| HSB | Hardware Store Busy | Open-drain status/output; driven LOW during STORE; pulled LOW externally to initiate hardware STORE. |
| VCAP | AutoStore capacitor supply | Connects to external 68 µF capacitor; powers STORE operation when VCC fails. |
| VCC | Power supply | +5 V ±10% main supply; powers SRAM and logic; disconnects from VCAP at VSWITCH (~3.6 V). |
| VSS | Ground | System reference ground; required for noise immunity and proper SRAM operation. |
| NC | No connect | Pins 27 and 28 are internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AutoStore™ on power-down | Hands-off STORE activation using VCAP-supplied energy eliminates firmware dependency for critical state save. |
| QuantumTrap™ nonvolatile cell | Embedded per-cell nonvolatility enables full-array parallel STORE/RECALL without block erasure delays. |
| HSB pin control & status | Single-pin dual function: request hardware STORE and monitor progress without polling or interrupts. |
| Unlimited SRAM read/write cycles | Standard SRAM interface behavior allows continuous logging, buffering, or configuration updates without wear concern. |
| Hardware data protection | Automatic inhibition of STORE and write during brown-out (VCC < VSWITCH) prevents corruption. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY14B104Q-SXI | 4-Mbit density, SPI interface, 3.3 V only, integrated capacitor support; no HSB pin. | Requires SPI host controller; lacks parallel byte interface and hardware STORE signaling. | Select when migrating to smaller footprint and lower voltage, and when firmware-controlled STORE suffices. |
| FM24CL64-G | 64-Kbit F-RAM, I²C interface, 2.7–3.6 V, unlimited endurance, no VCAP capacitor needed. | Serial interface increases latency; incompatible with parallel bus architectures and AutoStore timing model. | Choose for ultra-high write-cycle applications where deterministic STORE timing is secondary to endurance. |
Compared with CY14B104Q-SXI and FM24CL64-G, STK22C48-NF45I uniquely provides parallel 5 V operation, hardware-managed STORE/RECALL with HSB signaling, and proven 100-year retention - making it irreplaceable in legacy industrial designs requiring zero-firmware power-loss response.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCAP capacitance required for reliable AutoStore operation?
The STK22C48-NF45I requires a minimum 68 µF tantalum or low-ESR electrolytic capacitor on the VCAP pin to guarantee successful STORE during worst-case 10 ms power collapse. Capacitance below this value risks incomplete STORE due to insufficient stored energy, especially at elevated temperatures or end-of-life capacitor degradation.
Can STK22C48-NF45I operate without the VCAP capacitor?
Yes - in AutoStore Inhibit mode, where VCC is tied to ground and +5 V is applied directly to VCAP. In this configuration, AutoStore is disabled and STORE is initiated only via HSB assertion or software command. However, this mode forfeits hands-off power-loss protection and requires active system control.
How does the HSB pin behave during a STORE cycle initiated by power-down?
During AutoStore triggered by VCC falling below VSWITCH, the HSB pin is actively driven LOW by the device to signal STORE progress. It remains LOW for the full duration of the STORE operation (≤10 ms), then releases to HIGH only after completion - enabling external logic to synchronize safely with nonvolatile write completion.
Is STK22C48-NF45I compatible with modern 3.3 V microcontrollers?
No - STK22C48-NF45I is strictly a 5 V ±10% device with TTL-compatible inputs and 5 V outputs. Interfacing with 3.3 V controllers requires level-shifting on all address, data, and control lines (A0–A10, DQ0–DQ7, CE, WE, OE, HSB), and VCAP must still be supplied from a 5 V source even if system logic runs at 3.3 V.
