Hello everyone,
I have a board with 2 SRAM chips on it. The board has a standby battery to maintain the volatility on the SRAMs. However, the battery died and I'm pretty positive the data on the SRAMs has been erased.
How can I possibly refresh the data back onto the SRAMs? I have ordered 2 "brand new" SRAMs of the same part but I don't know how to go about programming them. I can't possibly just install the new ones onto the board because theoretically they'd be blank and need to be refreshed as well since they haven't been connected to any power source.
Would I have to install them onto the board and write to them on-board while they're powered or can I just install them the way they are?
Thanks so much in advance!
