6116 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 6116, 2016, 4016, 9128 or compatible pinout "2k 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
boards require desoldering the 6116 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 24-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.

Plug-And-Play U4
(see picture) Once
installed, you will then need to use the keypad and/or diagnostic menus
to reset the machine to Factory Defaults. With Keypad games this is
accomplished by going to "Test" to enter operator mode. Then hit "A"
until "Feature Options" is displayed. Hit Enter. It will say "Reset
Factory". Hit 6, then 5 on the keypad. Then hit Enter. Hit "Game" to
return to attract mode. This will set the nvram to factory defaults
& then allow you to coin-up the game. Some games may not work
properly with these directions or use a Keypad. In that case, consult
your game manual for specific steps. GAME LIST:

CHIP MARKINGS DIFFERENT?
Your
current RAM might not be labeled as a "6116" -- some RAM manufacturers
used different numbering on their RAM like "NTE2128" for a 6116. 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.
