Abstract

See full text

A first-in, first-out (FIFO) static random access memory (SRAM) device includes EEPROM cells which provide non-volatile backup capability. The sizing of each SRAM cell is such that its associated EEPROM cell is automatically programmed via the output of the SRAM cell. Upon power-up, the EEPROM cell restores the SRAM cell to the inverse of whatever state it was in prior to the most recent EEPROM programming (before a preceding power-down). This provides non-volatility to the SRAM without a significant increase in manufacturing costs or overhead.
