WARNING:
Under no circumstance are negative undershoots, of any amplitude, allowed when device is in battery backup mode.

NOTES:
1. WE is high for a read cycle.

2. OE = VIH or VIL. If OE = VIH during write cycle, the output buffers remain in a high impedance state.

3. tWP is specified as the logical AND of CEU or CEL and WE. tWP is measured from the latter of CEU, CEL or
WE going low to the earlier of CEU, CEL or WE going high.

100495 9/11
DS1658Y/AB

4. tDS is measured from the earlier of CEU or CEL or WE going high.

5. These parameters are sampled with a 5 pF load and are not 100% tested.

6. If the CEU or CEL low transition occurs simultaneously with or later than the WE low transition, the output
buffers remain in a high impedance state during this period.

7. If the CEU or CEL high transition occurs prior to or simultaneously with the WE high transition, the output
buffers remain in high impedance state during this period.

8. If WE is low or the WE low transition occurs prior to or simultaneously with the CEU or CEL low transition, the
output buffers remain in a high impedance state during this period.

9. Each DS1658 has a built-in switch that disconnects the lithium source until VCC is first applied by the user.
The expected tDR is defined as accumulative time in the absence of VCC starting from the time power is first
applied by the user.

10. All AC and DC electrical characteristics are valid over the full operating temperature range. For commercial
products, this range is 0°C to 70°C. For industrial products (IND), this range is –40°C to +85°C.

11. In a power down condition the voltage on any pin may not exceed the voltage on VCC.

12. tWR1, tDH1 are measured from WE going high.

13. tWR2, tDH2 are measured from CEU OR CEL going high.
