POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING

and UNDERSHOOT PROTECTION

ICC transients, including those produced by output

switching, can produce voltage fluctuations, re-

sulting in spikes on the VCC bus. These transients

can be reduced if capacitors are used to store en-

ergy, 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 by-

pass capacitor value of 0.1µF (as shown in Figure

14) is recommended in order to provide the need-

ed filtering.

In addition to transients that are caused by normal

SRAM operation, power cycling can generate neg-

ative voltage spikes on VCC that drive it to values

below VSS by as much as one Volt. These nega-

tive spikes can cause data corruption in the SRAM

while in battery backup mode. To protect from

these voltage spikes, it is recommended to con-

nect 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.
