An HP-48 RAM Card 1.0   (details) 48 ENG   2,113 KB
Contains the schematics and Gerber files needed to create a 128 KB RAM card for the 48SX/GX calculators. Data sheets for the parts used are also included. The Bill of Material calls out specific vendor and vendor part numbers for the passive components used, but any equivalent part in the SMD 0805 package can be substituted. Battery backup is by use of a 12 mm lithium coin cell, either the CR1216 or the CR1225. The CR1225 has the higher capacity rating of the two at 48 mAh. Although that's only half the capacity of a CR2016, the Cypress MoBL SRAM memory device only requires 1 uA in standby mode when the memory is not selected so battery life should be reasonably long.
