STMicroelectronics M48Z02-200PC1 Zero Power RAM

The M48Z02-200PC1 is a highly reliable, 16 Kbit (2K x 8) Zero Power RAM component manufactured by STMicroelectronics. This innovative memory module combines a fast static RAM with a lithium battery, which allows the device to maintain data integrity without any external power supply, hence the term "Zero Power". It is particularly well-suited for applications that require data retention in the absence of a primary power source.

Encased in a 24-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package), the M48Z02-200PC1 operates with a supply voltage of 4.5 to 5.5 volts. Its access time of 200 ns ensures quick data retrieval, making it an excellent choice for performance-conscious applications. The integrated hardware write protection feature safeguards the data from inadvertent changes during power-down or power-up cycles.

This non-volatile memory module is designed for a wide array of applications, including but not limited to, real-time clocks, computers, industrial controllers, robotics, and other systems that must retain data during power loss. The M48Z02-200PC1's robustness is further underscored by its operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, making it suitable for most industrial environments.

Key features of the M48Z02-200PC1 include:

• 16 Kbit (2K x 8) NV SRAM - Sufficient density for storing essential data.
• Self-contained battery - Ensures data retention for over 10 years in the absence of power.
• Low power consumption - Ideal for battery-backed applications.
• Automatic power-fail chip deselect and write protection - Prevents data corruption during volatile power events.
• Directly replaces volatile static RAM or EEPROM - Enables easy integration into existing designs.

STMicroelectronics' commitment to quality and reliability is reflected in the M48Z02-200PC1, which is fabricated using the company's state-of-the-art CMOS technology. This technology not only provides high performance but also ensures low power dissipation, a critical factor for battery-backed memory applications.

For designers and engineers looking for a dependable non-volatile memory solution that can maintain data without an external power source, the M48Z02-200PC1 from STMicroelectronics is an excellent choice that combines performance, durability, and data security.
