Clock operations

capacitors are used to store energy which stabilizes the VCC bus. The energy stored in the

bypass capacitors will be released as low going spikes are generated or energy will be

absorbed when overshoots occur. A ceramic bypass capacitor value of 0.1µF (as shown in

Figure 11) is recommended in order to provide the needed filtering.

In addition to transients that are caused by normal SRAM operation, power cycling can

generate negative voltage spikes on VCC that drive it to values below VSS by as much as

one volt. These negative spikes can cause data corruption in the SRAM while in battery

backup mode. To protect from these voltage spikes, it is recommended to connect a

schottky diode from VCC to VSS (cathode connected to VCC, anode to VSS). Schottky diode

1N5817 is recommended for through hole and MBRS120T3 is recommended for surface

mount.
