DESCRIPTION
The DS1210 Nonvolatile Controller Chip is a CMOS circuit
which solves the application problem of converting
CMOS RAM into nonvolatile memory. Incoming power
is monitored for an out-of-tolerance condition. When
such a condition is detected, chip enable is inhibited to
accomplish write protection and the battery is switched
on to supply the RAM with uninterrupted power. Special
circuitry uses a low-leakage CMOS process which affords
precise voltage detection at extremely low battery
consumption. The 8-pin DIP package keeps PC board
real estate requirements to a minimum. By combining
the DS1210 Nonvolatile Controller Chip with a CMOS
memory and batteries, nonvolatile RAM operation can
be achieved.
