DS1644LPM
Nonvolatile Timekeeping RAM
DS1644LPM
041697 1/11
FEATURES
•Upward compatible with the DS1643AL T imekeeping
RAM to achieve higher RAM density
•Integrated NV SRAM, real time clock, crystal, power–
fail control circuit and lithium energy source
•Low profile socketable module
– 255 mil package height
•Clock registers are accessed identical to the static
RAM. These registers are resident in the eight top
RAM locations.
•Totally nonvolatile with over 10 years of operation in
the absence of power
•Access time of 120 ns and 150 ns
•Quartz accuracy ±1 minute a month @ 25°C, factory
calibrated
•BCD coded year, month, date, day, hours, minutes,
and seconds with leap year compensation valid up to
2100
•Power–fail write protection allows for ±10% VCC pow-
er supply tolerance

DESCRIPTION
The DS1644L is a low profile module that requires a
PLCC surface mountable socket and is functionally
equivalent to the DS1644. The DS1644L is a 32K x 8
nonvolatile static RAM with a full function real time clock
which are both accessible in a Byte–wide format. The
real time clock information resides in the eight upper-
most RAM locations. The RTC registers contain year,
month, date, day, hours, minutes, and seconds data in
24 hour BCD format. Corrections for the day of the
month and leap year are made automatically . The RTC
clock registers are double buffered to avoid access of in-
correct data that can occur during clock update cycles.
The double buf fered system also prevents time loss as
the timekeeping countdown continues unabated by ac-
cess to time register data. The DS1644L also contains
its own power–fail circuitry which deselects the device
when the VCC supply is in an out–of–tolerance condi-
tion. This feature prevents loss of data from unpredict-
able system operation brought on by low VCC as errant
access and update cycles are avoided.
