Product details
Overview
DS1220AB-200IND+ from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a 16k nonvolatile static RAM organized as 2048 × 8 bits, featuring lithium-backed data retention, 100 ns read/write access time, ±5% VCC tolerance (4.75–5.25 V), and industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C). It directly replaces volatile 2k × 8 SRAMs and EEPROMs in battery-backed memory systems for programmable logic controllers and legacy industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the DS1220AB-200IND+ datasheet, DS1220AB-200IND+ pinout, DS1220AB-200IND+ application, or DS1220AB-200IND+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 10-year data retention without external power, automatic write protection during VCC decay, JEDEC-standard 24-pin EDIP package compatibility, and seamless substitution for 2716 EPROM/2816 EEPROM sockets in retrofitted control systems.
Technical Context
The DS1220AB-200IND+ integrates a self-contained lithium energy source with voltage-monitoring circuitry that triggers automatic write protection when VCC falls below 4.5 V (VTP), then switches to battery backup below ~3.0 V. Its CMOS architecture enables unlimited write cycles and eliminates need for external support circuitry.
It operates in three distinct modes: standard read/write (CE/OE/WE-controlled), standby (CE high), and data retention (VCC = 0), with deterministic timing parameters including tACC = 100 ns, tWC = 100 ns, and tDR ≥ 10 years - all validated across –40°C to +85°C per industrial-grade qualification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2048 words × 8 bits (16,384-bit NV SRAM) |
| Access Time | 100 ns - ensures compatibility with 10 MHz bus systems without wait states |
| VCC Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V (±5%) - supports stable operation under noisy industrial power rails |
| Data Retention | ≥10 years without power - enabled by sealed lithium cell and automatic VCC monitoring |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for uncontrolled industrial environments |
| Write Protection Threshold | VTP = 4.5 V min - initiates unconditional write lock before data corruption occurs |
| Package | 24-pin 720-mil extended DIP (EDIP) - direct drop-in for legacy 24-pin sockets |
Pinout & Package
DS1220AB-200IND+ uses a JEDEC-standard 24-pin encapsulated DIP package (720-mil width), with pin 1 at top-left corner when notch faces up. The package is RoHS-compliant (indicated by '+' suffix) and wave-solderable only.

|---|---|---|
| A0–A10 | Address Inputs | 11-bit address bus supporting full 2048-word addressing |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus compatible with standard microprocessor data paths |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; disables outputs and reduces ICCS2 to ≤5 mA in standby |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; controls write cycle initiation and output disable timing (tODW = 35 ns) |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output enable; allows read access while CE is active (tOE = 50 ns) |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±5% supply input; powers logic and enables lithium switch-on at first power-up |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1220AD-100IND+ | Wider VCC range (4.5–5.5 V, ±10%), lower VTP (4.25 V), same pinout/package | Better suited for systems with unstable 5 V rails; slightly reduced noise margin on write-protection threshold | Select DS1220AD-100IND+ if power supply regulation is marginal; otherwise DS1220AB-200IND+ offers tighter VCC control and higher VTP immunity |
| STK12C68-AW50I | Same 16k × 8 organization, 50 ns access, but uses capacitor-based backup and requires external charging circuit | Lacks integrated lithium and automatic switchover; needs external diode, resistor, and supercapacitor | Choose STK12C68-AW50I only if cost sensitivity outweighs design simplicity and long-term reliability; DS1220AB-200IND+ eliminates support components |
Compared with DS1220AD-100IND+, DS1220AB-200IND+ provides tighter VCC regulation margin and higher write-protection threshold, improving immunity to transient dips; versus STK12C68-AW50I, it delivers true maintenance-free operation with no external components or recharge management overhead.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1220AB-200IND+?
The DS1220AB-200IND+ guarantees ≥10 years of data retention in the absence of external power, measured from the time VCC is first applied. This is achieved via an integrated lithium energy source and automatic power-fail detection circuitry that isolates and preserves memory contents without user intervention or external components.
Does DS1220AB-200IND+ require external support circuitry for battery backup operation?
No, DS1220AB-200IND+ requires no external support circuitry. Its internal lithium cell, voltage monitor, and power-switching circuitry operate autonomously. The lithium source remains electrically disconnected until first VCC application, ensuring full energy capacity, and automatically engages during power loss - eliminating need for diodes, capacitors, or charge controllers.
Is DS1220AB-200IND+ pin-compatible with standard 24-pin memory sockets?
Yes, DS1220AB-200IND+ uses a JEDEC-standard 24-pin 720-mil extended DIP package and matches the pinout of both the 2716 EPROM and 2816 EEPROM. This enables direct socket replacement in legacy systems without PCB modification, preserving existing address decoding, control logic, and physical mounting.
What is the write protection voltage threshold for DS1220AB-200IND+?
The DS1220AB-200IND+ asserts unconditional write protection when VCC falls below 4.5 V (minimum VTP), with typical activation at 4.62 V. This threshold is factory-trimmed and guaranteed across –40°C to +85°C, preventing partial writes and data corruption during brownout conditions before battery switchover occurs.
Can DS1220AB-200IND+ be used in place of volatile SRAM without firmware changes?
Yes, DS1220AB-200IND+ functions identically to a standard 2k × 8 SRAM during normal operation - same read/write timing, control signal behavior (CE/OE/WE), and data bus interface. Firmware designed for volatile SRAM works unchanged; nonvolatility and power-loss protection are transparent to software.
