Product details
Overview
DS1220AD-100IND 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, ±10% VCC tolerance (4.5V–5.5V), and industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C). It directly replaces volatile 2k × 8 SRAMs and EEPROMs in battery-backed memory applications such as real-time clock storage and configuration backup.
For engineers reviewing the DS1220AD-100IND datasheet, DS1220AD-100IND pinout, DS1220AD-100IND application, or DS1220AD-100IND equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 10-year data retention without external power, automatic write protection during VCC dropout, JEDEC-standard 24-pin DIP compatibility, and seamless substitution for 2716 EPROM/2816 EEPROM footprints.
Technical Context
The DS1220AD-100IND integrates a self-contained lithium energy source with voltage-monitoring circuitry that triggers automatic switchover when VCC falls below 4.25 V (VTP), enabling uninterrupted data retention. Its CMOS architecture supports unlimited write cycles and requires no external support circuitry for microprocessor interfacing.
It operates across full ±10% VCC range (4.5V–5.5V), features tACC = 100 ns and tWC = 100 ns timing, and maintains high-impedance outputs and "don't care" inputs during power-down-ensuring system-level data integrity without software intervention.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2048 words × 8 bits (16,384-bit NV SRAM) |
| Access Time | 100 ns - enables direct replacement of legacy 2k × 8 SRAMs in 80Cxx/68xxx bus systems |
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V (±10%) - accommodates wide-input power rails without regulation |
| Data Retention | ≥10 years without power - achieved via sealed lithium cell activated only on first power-up |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C (IND grade) - qualified for industrial control, metering, and telecom infrastructure |

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+ | Narrower VCC range (4.75–5.25 V); higher write-protection threshold (4.5 V) | Better suited for stable 5 V regulated supplies; less tolerant of brownout conditions | Select DS1220AB-100IND+ only if system VCC remains tightly regulated above 4.75 V during all operating modes |
| MAX6900A–100IND+ | Serial I²C interface; 1 kbit EEPROM-based; no integrated lithium; external battery required | Lower pin count but requires host MCU firmware for write sequencing and voltage monitoring | Choose MAX6900A–100IND+ only when board space is constrained and I²C bus is available for memory access |
Compared with DS1220AB-100IND+, the DS1220AD-100IND offers wider supply tolerance and earlier write protection-critical for unregulated industrial rails. Against MAX6900A–100IND+, DS1220AD-100IND provides parallel interface speed, hardware autonomy, and guaranteed 10-year retention without external components.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1220AD-100IND?
The DS1220AD-100IND guarantees ≥10 years of data retention in the absence of external power, measured from the time VCC is first applied and the internal lithium cell is activated. This specification is design-guaranteed and applies across the full –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range without derating.
Does DS1220AD-100IND require external circuitry to manage its lithium backup source?
No, DS1220AD-100IND requires no external circuitry. Its internal power-switching circuit automatically connects the lithium cell when VCC drops below 4.25 V and disconnects it during normal operation. The lithium source ships electrically isolated and activates only on first application of VCC > VTP.
Can DS1220AD-100IND be used as a drop-in replacement for 2716 EPROMs?
Yes, DS1220AD-100IND is pin-compatible and functionally compatible with the 2716 EPROM: identical 24-pin DIP footprint, matching A0–A10, DQ0–DQ7, CE, OE, and VCC/GND assignments, and compatible read timing. Unlike the 2716, DS1220AD-100IND supports unlimited writes and retains data without UV erasure.
What is the minimum VCC level at which DS1220AD-100IND initiates write protection?
The DS1220AD-100IND initiates automatic write protection when VCC falls to 4.25 V (VTP min), as specified in the DC Electrical Characteristics table. At this threshold, all inputs become "don't care," outputs go high-impedance, and the lithium source engages to preserve RAM contents.
Is DS1220AD-100IND RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, DS1220AD-100IND is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, indicated by the "+" suffix in the ordering code. It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and is manufactured with Pb-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound per Maxim's standard environmental compliance program.
