Table 1. Comparison Table (continued)

Specification CY14B256L (35 nsec) STK14C88-3 (35 nsec)
Notes
2. The power up recall specification is the most dramatic difference between the two devices. To accommodate the much slower specification of the CY14B256L
device, system timing modifications may be required.
3. Store timing differences are not an issue because it occurs as a background operation when the system is powering down.
4. Even though there are small differences here they are unlikely to cause system level problems.
