AK93C65CM

Memory

The AK93C65CM is a chip-based non-volatile memory from Advanced Knowledge Integration Corporation that uses both CMOS and bipolar technology to provide high current and low noise solutions for electronic system storage and data retention requirements in a variety of application fields. By utilizing a combination of technologies, this chip can provide an optimum solution for many applications.

The AK93C65CM uses two modes of operation: write and read. In the write mode, a "bit cell" inside the chip is energized causing the bit cell to store a bit of data. After being energized, the bit cell is essentially "written" with a programmed data element. In the read mode, the bit cell is accessed and the stored information is read out of the bit cell. The AK93C65CM also contains a built-in clock, voltage regulator and data buffers that provide a high-speed and stable operation.

Features and Benefits

The features that make the AK93C65CM an ideal choice for many applications include:

• Low power consumption – the chip is designed to need minimal power, making it a good choice for battery powered devices
• High speed operation – the integrated clock, voltage regulator and data buffers allow the chip to operate quickly
• High reliability – the chip is designed to be able to "write" and "retain" data reliably even in extreme environmental conditions
• Numerous applications – the chip is applicable to a wide range of data retention needs, such as EEPROMs, SRAMs, etc.

Applications

The AK93C65CM is applicable to many complex memory requirements usually associated with low power components, including automotive and industrial applications. Examples include engine control units, factory automation, military applications, medical equipment, avionics, communications and consumer electronics. Typical applications include data storage of high frequency signal data, bit map signal data, system parameters and low capacity data.

Working Principle

The AK93C65CM uses both CMOS and bipolar technologies to store data. CMOS technology allows for bits to be stored independent of the clock signal, allowing for the chip to store a data element without having to supply a continuous voltage. This helps to reduce power consumption and chip size. Meanwhile, the use of bipolar technology allows the chip to withstand higher voltages, thus providing more precise and accurate data storage. The bipolar material also gives the chip a longer operational life.

The AK93C65CM also utilizes a built-in clock, voltage regulator and data buffers to provide a high-speed and stable operation. This feature greatly reduces the risk of errors that can occur during data storage due to sudden power drops or changes in the environment. This, combined with the use of low power consumption and high reliability, makes the AK93C65CM ideal for many electronic system storage and data retention requirements.
