6264 NVRAM Module
No More Batteries!
This
is a premium quality Battery Eliminator / NVRAM for the 6264 RAM used
in pinball & arcade machines. Once installed, you can remove the
batteries from your machine and your high scores / settings will be
saved for many years to come!
Replaces a 6264, 6064, 2064 or compatible pinout "8k x 8" SRAM. These modules use CYPRESS F-RAM nvram ICs rated at 151-year data retention & 100 trillion reads/writes. Module installs easily into any IC socket.
WHY REPLACE YOUR EXISTING RAM WITH NVRAM?
Batteries
leak. Even brand new batteries from major brands have leaked a year or
two later for no apparent reason and cause hundreds of dollars in
repairs or replacement of boards and components affected. Upgrading to
NVRAM will save you time, money and any future worry of battery damage.
It's one of the best mods you can do to your games!
NOTE ON BOARDS REQUIRING SOCKET INSTALLATIONSome
MPU boards require desoldering the 6264 RAM currently on the board and
installation of an IC socket (all Williams pinball games). If you do not
have proper equipment or experience to perform the upgrade, please hire
a professional to upgrade your board. Any attempt to modify your board
is AT YOUR OWN RISK. See our article on an example of an NVRAM upgrade that requires soldering.
NVRAM is shipped in anti-static foam & anti-static bag. An IC socket is included.
See the COMPATIBILITY INFO below for game compatibility.
*NOTE: EACH MODULE INCLUDES A NEW 28-PIN IC SOCKET!

COMPATIBILITY INFO
For pinball machines, refer to this Pinball NVRAM Game List to
find what type of NVRAM you need for each game you'd like to upgrade.
This will also help identify what games are plug-and-play and which
require soldering for installation.Additionally, check out the
compatibility chart below for board diagrams showing the location of the
RAM on the board, difficulty of the installation & any other
usage/installation notes.

games being listed here since Williams System 11 games seem to have
been shipped with 6116 RAM from the factory. Verify your game has a
24-pin 6116 RAM at position U25 and then get a 6116 NVRAM. You *can* use a 6264 but jumper changes will be necessary as noted above. WILLIAMS WPC HARD

If
your game is currently using a 6264 SRAM at U8 no changes are needed.
If your game currently has a 62256 in it, you may want to consider just
purchasing the 62256 NVRAM Module to avoid having to make any jumper changes.
Jumper Settings:

Real-time
clock will not function correctly on any games that utilized the clock
for Midnight Madness Mode or other special time-sensitive modes.
Midnight
Madness Mode will not start at the correct time on Dirty Harry, Johnny
Mnemonic, WHO Dunnit, Theatre of Magic, Congo, Junk Yard or NBA
Fastbreak. In addition to this music on Creature From the Black Lagoon
based on different dates will be affected. Twilight Zone's clock on the
playfield will not show the correct time. There may be other games
affected in addition to those listed here. Basically these functions
will still work, but will not be based on the correct time since with
nvram installed the real-time clock does not get updated when the
machine is powered off.

CHIP MARKINGS DIFFERENT?
Your
current RAM might not be labeled as a "6264" or "62256" -- some RAM
manufacturers used different numbering on their RAM like "LH5164AH-10L"
for a 6264. The easiest thing to do is to write down the numbers on the
RAM IC (located via the pictures above) and Google it to see if it's an
2K SRAM (6116), 8K SRAM (6264) or 32K SRAM (62256). If in doubt, please
contact us with a picture of your RAM or the number on the chip and
we'll help you out.
COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER DEVICES
This
memory may also work in other applications where a 6264 RAM is used,
but should not replace memory in critical circuits without proper
testing. The 6264 module has been used to replace the Dallas DS1225Y
Nonvolatile SRAM in Tektronix Oscilloscopes. The F-RAM chips latch each
address on the falling edge of the /CE (chip enable) line, so in the
hardware being upgraded the /CE line must be toggled for every
read/write (not tied to GND). The chip enable circuit can be verified
via schematic, but the toggling of the chip enable line on every
read/write would need to be verified via logic analyzer.
