Greenwich Instruments GR3281H Non-Volatile RAM Datasheet
The GR3281H is an industrial‑temperature‑range, 32768‑word by 8‑bit (32K × 8) non‑volatile CMOS static RAM fabricated with advanced silicon‑gate technology and a high‑reliability lithium power cell. It conforms to JEDEC pin‑out standards and offers fast read/write cycles (70 ns) with low power consumption.
The device is suited for data‑loggers, process‑control, automation, robotics and user‑definable lookup tables. It retains data for up to ten years without external power, and the power‑down circuit shuts off in a maximum of 15 µs. Disposal must follow the provided instructions, returning the device to Greenwich Instruments for safe handling.
