Product details
Overview
DS1225AB-150IND from Maxim Integrated is a 64k-bit (8k × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with integrated lithium battery backup, JEDEC-standard 28-pin extended DIP package, 70 ns access time, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It replaces volatile SRAMs and EEPROMs in mission-critical data logging systems where power loss protection is essential.
For engineers reviewing the DS1225AB-150IND datasheet, DS1225AB-150IND pinout, DS1225AB-150IND application, or DS1225AB-150IND equivalent, key selection criteria include write-protection voltage threshold (4.5 V), unlimited write cycles, automatic VCC-fail detection, ±5% VCC tolerance, and direct compatibility with 2764 EPROM/2864 EEPROM footprints.
Technical Context
The DS1225AB-150IND integrates a self-contained lithium energy source and analog voltage-monitoring circuitry that continuously tracks VCC. When supply voltage drops below 4.5 V (VTP), it unconditionally enables write protection, disables inputs, and places outputs in high-impedance state before switching to battery backup at ~3.0 V.
It operates as a byte-wide parallel memory with full static CMOS interface logic-supporting standard read/write timing per JEDEC 28-pin DIP, matching 2764 EPROM pinout, and requiring no external support circuitry for microprocessor interfacing or data retention during power loss.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1225AD-70IND+ | Wider VCC tolerance (±10%, 4.5–5.5 V); lower write-protection threshold (4.25 V) | Better suited for unregulated 5 V supplies with higher ripple; less margin before write protect engages | Select DS1225AD-70IND+ only if system VCC varies beyond ±5% or requires earlier battery switchover |
| STK12C68-E25I | Same 8k×8 NV SRAM function but uses different lithium switch architecture; 25 ns access time; SOIC-28 package | Requires PCB redesign due to surface-mount packaging; faster access but reduced mechanical robustness in vibration-prone environments | Choose STK12C68-E25I only when board space is constrained and high-speed access outweighs through-hole reliability needs |
Compared with DS1225AD-70IND+, the DS1225AB-150IND offers tighter VCC regulation tolerance and higher write-protection voltage-critical for stable 5 V rail systems. Against STK12C68-E25I, it provides proven through-hole ruggedness and identical legacy footprint compatibility, avoiding requalification of mechanical and thermal performance.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1225AB-150IND?
The DS1225AB-150IND guarantees a minimum 10-year data retention period in the absence of external power, measured from the time VCC is first applied. This is ensured by the internal lithium cell's freshness seal and hermetic encapsulation-no periodic refresh or external power is needed to maintain stored data throughout the rated lifetime.
Does DS1225AB-150IND require any external components for battery backup operation?
No, the DS1225AB-150IND requires zero external components for nonvolatile operation. Its integrated lithium energy source, voltage-monitoring circuitry, and automatic power-switching logic are fully self-contained within the 28-pin DIP package. No capacitors, diodes, or supervisory ICs are needed for data retention during power loss.
Is DS1225AB-150IND pin-compatible with standard 2764 EPROMs?
Yes, the DS1225AB-150IND is fully pin-compatible with the 2764 EPROM and 2864 EEPROM, sharing identical 28-pin DIP pinout, address/data bus mapping, and CE/OE/WE control signal assignments. This allows direct substitution in existing designs without PCB modification or firmware changes.
What is the write-protection voltage threshold for DS1225AB-150IND?
The DS1225AB-150IND asserts unconditional write protection when VCC falls within the range of 4.50 V to 4.75 V (typical 4.62 V), as specified by its VTP parameter. This threshold ensures early safeguarding of memory contents before supply collapse reaches levels that could cause data corruption during write operations.
Can DS1225AB-150IND operate outside the industrial temperature range?
No-the "IND" suffix in DS1225AB-150IND explicitly denotes qualification and guaranteed operation over –40°C to +85°C. While the device may function outside this range, electrical parameters such as access time, standby current, and write-protection timing are not characterized or warranted beyond those limits.
