NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS DS1220Y
READ MODE
The DS1220Y executes a read cycle whenever
(Write Enable) is inactive (high) and
(Chip

(Output Enable) are act ive ( low). The unique addre ss specified by the 11 address inputs
(A0-A10) defines which of the 2048 bytes of data is to be accessed. Valid data will be available to the

WRITE MODE
The DS1220Y executes a write cycle whenever the
