Unless you're really cramped for space, why not create a "custom" chip

you'd run the same problem with that solution too.

Battery == bad. Use FRAM. It's just like
RAM except it retains it's
contents when power's off. Comes in x8 and x16 varieties.
Doesn't help--the Ramtron 8Kx8 (smallest available) is still a 28-pin
package.
