Greenwich Instruments GR881 Non‑Volatile RAM Datasheet
The GR881 is an 8192‑word by 8‑bit 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 can retain data indefinitely without external power, making it suitable for program development, data logging, and lookup tables in automation and robotics.
Key specifications include a maximum power‑down time of 15 µs, a typical operating supply voltage of 5 V, data‑retention voltage of 4.5 V, and a ten‑year data‑retention period. The device provides detailed timing parameters such as 100 ns read and write cycles, and includes absolute maximum ratings, pin‑out diagrams, and disposal instructions.
