10.0 ON-BOARD MEMORY

The MCP7941X has both on-board EEPROM memory

and battery-backed SRAM. The SRAM is arranged as

64 bytes and is retained when the VCC supply is

removed, provided the VBAT supply is present and

enabled. The EEPROM is organized as 128 x 8 bytes.

The EEPROM is nonvolatile memory and does not

require the VBAT supply for retention.

SRAM/RTCC

FIGURE 10-1:

SRAM/RTCC BYTE WRITE

FIGURE 10-2:

SRAM/RTCC MULTIPLE BYTE WRITE

The 64 bytes of user SRAM are at location 0x20h and

can be accessed during the time when the RTCC is

being internally updated. Upon POR, the SRAM will be

in an undefined state.

Writing to the SRAM and RTCC is accomplished in a

similar way to writing to the EEPROM (as described

later in this document) with the following consider-

ations:

• There is no page. The entire 64 bytes of SRAM or

32 bytes of RTCC register can be written in one

command.

• The SRAM allows an unlimited number of read/

write cycles.

• The RTCC and SRAM are not accessible when

the device is running on the external VBAT supply.

• The RTCC and SRAM are separate blocks. The

SRAM array may be accessed during an RTCC

update.

• Read and write access is limited to either the

RTCC register block or the SRAM array. The

Address Pointer will rollover to the start of the

addressed block.

• Data written to the RTCC and SRAM are on a per

byte basis.

Entering an address past 0x5F for an
