GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DS1254 is a fully nonvolatile static RAM (NV SRAM)
(organized as 2M words by 8 bits) with built-in real-time
clock. It has a self-contained lithium energy source and
control circuitry that constantly monitors VCC for an out-of-
tolerance condition. When such a condition occurs, the
DS1254 makes use of an attached DS3800 battery cap to
maintain clock information and preserve stored data while
protecting that data by disallowing all memory accesses.
Additionally, the DS1254 has dedicated circuitry for
monitoring the status of an attached DS3800 battery cap.
