Product details
Overview
DS1220AD-200IND from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a 16k nonvolatile static RAM organized as 2048 × 8 bits, featuring lithium-backed data retention, automatic write protection during power loss, and 100 ns read/write access time. It directly replaces volatile 2k × 8 SRAMs and EEPROMs in industrial control, metering, and legacy system memory upgrades.
For engineers reviewing the DS1220AD-200IND datasheet, DS1220AD-200IND pinout, DS1220AD-200IND application, or DS1220AD-200IND equivalent, key selection factors include its ±10% VCC tolerance, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating, 10-year data retention without external power, and JEDEC-standard 24-pin extended DIP package compatibility with 2716 EPROM and 2816 EEPROM footprints.
Technical Context
The DS1220AD-200IND integrates a self-contained lithium battery and voltage-monitoring circuitry that triggers automatic write protection when VCC falls below 4.25 V and switches to battery backup below ~3.0 V. Its CMOS architecture enables unlimited write cycles and eliminates need for external support circuitry.
It operates across full 4.5 V–5.5 V supply range, supports standard parallel bus timing with tACC = 100 ns and tWC = 100 ns, and maintains high-impedance outputs during power transition events per tPD = 1.5 µs fail-detect latency and tREC = 125 ms recovery after VCC restoration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 16,384-bit (2048 × 8), byte-wide parallel interface compatible with legacy microprocessor buses |
| Access Time | 100 ns read/write - meets timing requirements of 8/16-bit systems running at ≤10 MHz |
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V (±10%) - supports wide-input industrial power rails without regulation |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without external power - enabled by sealed lithium cell and automatic disconnect freshness seal |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including energy meters and factory automation |
| Write Protection Threshold | VTP = 4.25 V to 4.5 V - initiates unconditional write lock before data corruption risk occurs |

Pinout & Package
DS1220AD-200IND uses a JEDEC-standard 24-pin extended dual in-line package (EDIP), 720 mil width, with through-hole mounting and wave/hand-solder compatible leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A10 | Address Inputs | 11-bit address bus supporting full 2048-word addressing; TTL-compatible inputs |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus; high-impedance when CE/OE inactive or during power transition |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; controls device enable and participates in write cycle timing (tWP, tWR) |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; determines write start/stop edges and disables outputs during writes (tODW) |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; enables data drivers only during reads; must be high during writes to avoid contention |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply input; monitored continuously for out-of-tolerance detection and battery switchover |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal lithium circuitry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 tolerance (±5%, 4.75–5.25 V); higher write-protection threshold (4.5–4.75 V) | Better suited for regulated 5 V systems requiring tighter voltage margin control | Select DS1220AB-100IND+ when supply regulation is stable and VCC sag below 4.75 V is unlikely |
| STK12C68-AW50I | Same 16k × 8 organization but uses capacitor-based backup; 50 ns access time; SOIC-28 package | Lower profile, surface-mount alternative with faster access but shorter retention (up to 72 hours without power) | Choose STK12C68-AW50I for space-constrained designs where short-term backup suffices and reflow assembly is preferred |
Compared with DS1220AB-100IND+ and STK12C68-AW50I, DS1220AD-200IND offers broader supply tolerance and decade-long retention ideal for unregulated industrial environments, while trading off speed and package form factor for proven long-term reliability in through-hole legacy systems.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1220AD-200IND?
The DS1220AD-200IND guarantees a minimum 10-year data retention period in the absence of external power, measured from the time VCC is first applied by the user. This is achieved via an integrated lithium energy source and automatic power-fail detection circuitry that preserves RAM contents without external components. The retention time is defined as cumulative time without VCC and is guaranteed by design, not 100% tested per unit.
Does DS1220AD-200IND require external circuitry for battery backup operation?
No, DS1220AD-200IND requires no external circuitry for battery backup operation. It contains a fully integrated lithium energy source and power-switching control circuitry that automatically monitors VCC, disconnects the battery until first power-up, and seamlessly transitions between main supply and backup power during brownouts. The device meets JEDEC 24-pin DIP standards and interfaces directly with standard microprocessor buses.
How does DS1220AD-200IND differ from DS1220AB-100IND+ in terms of voltage tolerance?
DS1220AD-200IND supports a wider VCC operating range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V (±10%), whereas DS1220AB-100IND+ operates from 4.75 V to 5.25 V (±5%). The DS1220AD-200IND also has a lower write-protection threshold (4.25–4.5 V vs. 4.5–4.75 V), making it more tolerant of unregulated or fluctuating power supplies commonly found in industrial environments.
Can DS1220AD-200IND be used as a direct replacement for 2716 EPROMs?
Yes, DS1220AD-200IND is pin-compatible with the 2716 EPROM and matches its 24-pin DIP footprint and signal assignments (A0–A10, DQ0–DQ7, CE, OE, VCC, GND). Unlike EPROMs, it requires no UV erasure or programming voltage and supports unlimited write cycles - enabling in-system firmware updates without socket removal or specialized programmers.
What is the meaning of "IND" in DS1220AD-200IND?
The "IND" suffix in DS1220AD-200IND denotes qualification for the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and DC/AC Electrical Characteristics tables. This rating ensures full functionality and guaranteed performance across harsh environments such as factory floors, outdoor utility installations, and transportation systems - distinct from commercial-grade variants rated for 0°C to +70°C.
