M41T00S
Operation
2.4
Data retention mode
With valid VCC applied, the M41T00S can be accessed as described above with READ or
WRITE cycles. Should the supply voltage decay, the power input will be switched from the
VCC pin to the battery when VCC falls below the battery backup switchover voltage (VSO). At
this time the clock registers will be maintained by the attached battery supply. On power-up,
when VCC returns to a nominal value, write protection continues for tREC.
For a further, more detailed review of lifetime calculations, please see Application Note
AN1012.
