Product details
Overview
DS1220AD-100IND+ from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a 16k nonvolatile static RAM organized as 2048 × 8 bits, featuring integrated lithium battery backup, automatic power-loss write protection, and 100 ns read/write access time. It directly replaces volatile 2k × 8 SRAMs and EEPROMs in industrial control memory retention applications requiring data integrity across power cycles.
For engineers reviewing the DS1220AD-100IND+ datasheet, DS1220AD-100IND+ pinout, DS1220AD-100IND+ application, or DS1220AD-100IND+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±10% VCC tolerance, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating, JEDEC-standard 24-pin extended DIP package, and guaranteed 10-year data retention without external power.
Technical Context
The DS1220AD-100IND+ implements a self-contained power-fail detection circuit that monitors VCC continuously; when voltage drops below 4.25 V (VTP), it disables all inputs, places outputs in high-impedance state, and switches to internal lithium power within 1.5 µs. Its CMOS architecture supports unlimited write cycles with no wear leveling or erase overhead.
It maintains full compatibility with standard microprocessor bus timing: CE and OE active-low enable read access, while WE and CE active-low initiate writes. The device matches the pinout of 2716 EPROM and 2816 EEPROM, enabling drop-in replacement in legacy systems without layout changes.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1220AB-100IND+ | ±5% VCC tolerance (4.75–5.25 V); higher write-protection threshold (4.5 V) | Better suited for tightly regulated 5 V systems where voltage stability is guaranteed | Select DS1220AB-100IND+ when power supply ripple is < ±2.5% and system cannot tolerate lower VTP |
| STK12C68-55I | 55 ns access time; 32k × 8 organization; different pinout (28-pin SOIC) | Requires PCB redesign; targets higher-speed, higher-density applications with surface-mount constraints | Choose STK12C68-55I only if faster access and larger capacity outweigh footprint and layout change costs |
Compared with DS1220AB-100IND+, the DS1220AD-100IND+ offers wider VCC tolerance for less-regulated industrial rails, while STK12C68-55I provides speed and density at the cost of mechanical and electrical incompatibility.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1220AD-100IND+?
The DS1220AD-100IND+ guarantees a minimum of 10 years of data retention in the absence of external power, measured from the time VCC is first applied. This specification is design-guaranteed and applies across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range, with the lithium energy source remaining sealed until initial power-up to preserve capacity.
Does DS1220AD-100IND+ require external circuitry for battery backup operation?
No, DS1220AD-100IND+ requires no external circuitry for battery backup operation. Its integrated lithium cell and power-fail detection circuitry automatically switch to backup power when VCC drops below 4.25 V, and disconnect the battery during normal operation to prevent self-discharge - all functions are fully self-contained within the DS1220AD-100IND+ package.
Is DS1220AD-100IND+ pin-compatible with standard 24-pin EPROMs?
Yes, DS1220AD-100IND+ is pin-compatible with the 2716 EPROM and 2816 EEPROM, sharing identical pin assignments for address, data, CE, OE, WE, VCC, and GND. This allows direct hardware substitution in existing sockets without PCB modification, preserving legacy system compatibility while upgrading to nonvolatile SRAM functionality.
What is the write protection voltage threshold for DS1220AD-100IND+?
The write protection voltage threshold (VTP) for DS1220AD-100IND+ is specified as 4.25 V (min) to 4.5 V (max). When VCC falls below this threshold during power-down, the DS1220AD-100IND+ immediately disables write capability, places all outputs in high-impedance state, and activates lithium backup - ensuring zero risk of data corruption during brownout conditions.
Can DS1220AD-100IND+ operate across the full industrial temperature range?
Yes, DS1220AD-100IND+ is fully qualified for continuous operation from -40°C to +85°C, as confirmed by JEDEC JESD22-A108 testing. All DC and AC electrical specifications - including 100 ns access time, ±10% VCC tolerance, and 10-year data retention - are guaranteed across this full industrial temperature range.
