Product details
Overview
DS1225AB-200+ from Maxim Integrated is a 64kbit (8k × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with integrated lithium battery backup, JEDEC-standard 28-pin extended DIP package, 70 ns read/write access time, ±5% VCC tolerance (4.75–5.25 V), and industrial-grade data retention of ≥10 years without power. It replaces volatile SRAMs and EEPROMs in real-time clock, configuration storage, and firmware parameter retention applications.
For engineers reviewing the DS1225AB-200+ datasheet, DS1225AB-200+ pinout, DS1225AB-200+ application, or DS1225AB-200+ equivalent, key selection criteria include write-protection voltage threshold (4.50–4.75 V), automatic power-fail detection and switch-over timing (tPD = 1.5 µs), and compatibility with 2764 EPROM/2864 EEPROM footprints.
Technical Context
The DS1225AB-200+ integrates a self-contained lithium energy source and analog voltage-monitoring circuitry that continuously tracks VCC; when supply drops below 4.5 V (VTP), it unconditionally enables write protection and switches to battery power within 1.5 µs. Its CMOS architecture supports unlimited write cycles and requires no external support circuitry for microprocessor interfacing.
It operates as a drop-in replacement for 8k × 8 SRAMs with identical address (A0–A12), data (DQ0–DQ7), and control (CE, WE, OE) pin assignments. The device maintains high-impedance outputs during power transition and guarantees data integrity across full commercial (0°C to +70°C) or industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temperature ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 65,536 bits (8,192 words × 8 bits); matches standard 8k × 8 SRAM footprint and addressing |
| Access Time | 70 ns tACC; ensures compatibility with 14 MHz bus systems without wait states |
| VCC Tolerance | ±5% (4.75 V to 5.25 V); tighter regulation than DS1225AD, reducing need for precision regulators |
| Write Protection Threshold | VTP = 4.50–4.75 V; triggers automatic battery switchover before data corruption occurs |
| Data Retention | ≥10 years without external power; guaranteed by design using sealed lithium cell disconnected until first power-up |
| Operating Temperature | Commercial grade: 0°C to +70°C; IND variant available for –40°C to +85°C environments |
| Package | 28-pin 720-mil extended DIP (EDIP); JEDEC-compliant, wave-solderable, RoHS-compliant (+ suffix) |
Pinout & Package
DS1225AB-200+ uses a 28-pin extended dual in-line package (EDIP), 720 mil width, with through-hole mounting and wave-solder compatibility. Pin 1 is top-left corner, pin 28 bottom-right, with NC pins at positions 14 and 25.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Inputs | 13-bit address bus supporting full 8k-word decoding; compatible with Z80, 8086, and 68K families |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Bidirectional Data I/O | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance during write cycles when OE is inactive |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be stable before address setup; controls device activation and power-down entry |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; determines write start/stop timing with CE; disables outputs if OE active during write |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; enables data drivers only during reads; high during writes prevents bus contention |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±5%; powers logic and RAM array; disconnects lithium source during normal operation |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; required for valid logic thresholds and battery-switching reference |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 14 and 25 are unconnected internally; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Power-Fail Detection | Monitors VCC continuously; initiates write protection and battery switchover within 1.5 µs of VTP breach |
| Lithium Freshness Seal | Lithium cell electrically isolated until first VCC application > VTP, preserving full 10-year retention capacity |
| Unlimited Write Cycles | No endurance limit on SRAM core; eliminates wear-leveling firmware overhead required for EEPROM/Flash |
| Direct EPROM/EEPROM Replacement | Pinout matches 2764 EPROM and 2864 EEPROM; enables legacy system upgrades without PCB redesign |
| Low-Power CMOS Operation | Standby current ≤5 mA (ICCS2); reduces thermal load and extends battery life in backup mode |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1225AD-70+ | Wider VCC tolerance (±10%, 4.5–5.5 V); lower VTP (4.25–4.5 V); same speed, package, and retention | Better suited for systems with less-regulated 5 V rails or wider input voltage variation | Select DS1225AD-70+ when supply stability is marginal; DS1225AB-200+ preferred for tightly regulated 5 V designs |
| STK12C68-70I | Same 8k × 8 organization and 70 ns speed; uses capacitor-based backup (not lithium); shorter retention (~5 years) | Lower cost, no battery handling restrictions, but requires external capacitor and charging circuit | Choose STK12C68-70I for cost-sensitive, short-lifecycle products where 10-year retention is not mandatory |
Compared with DS1225AD-70+, DS1225AB-200+ offers tighter VCC regulation and higher write-protection threshold-critical for noise-immune operation in clean power domains-while STK12C68-70I trades long-term reliability for simpler BOM and no battery compliance constraints.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1225AB-200+?
The DS1225AB-200+ guarantees ≥10 years of data retention in the absence of external power, based on its sealed lithium energy source and internal power-fail detection circuitry. This retention period begins after first application of VCC and accumulates only during battery-backed operation-not during powered operation. The DS1225AB-200+ achieves this without external capacitors or charging circuits, making it ideal for maintenance-free deployments in inaccessible locations.
Does DS1225AB-200+ require external support components for battery backup operation?
No, the DS1225AB-200+ requires no external support components for battery backup operation. Its integrated lithium cell and analog monitoring circuitry handle all power switchover, write protection, and voltage threshold detection autonomously. Unlike capacitor-backed NV SRAMs, the DS1225AB-200+ does not need external charging resistors, diodes, or timing capacitors-reducing BOM count and simplifying layout while ensuring consistent 10-year retention.
Is DS1225AB-200+ pin-compatible with standard 2764 EPROMs?
Yes, DS1225AB-200+ is pin-compatible with 2764 EPROMs and 2864 EEPROMs, sharing identical 28-pin DIP pinout, address/data/control signal mapping, and JEDEC-standard footprint. This allows direct substitution in legacy designs without PCB modification. The DS1225AB-200+ also matches timing parameters such as tACC (70 ns), enabling faster read access than typical 2764 devices (250–450 ns), with no change to existing microprocessor interface logic.
What is the write protection voltage threshold (VTP) for DS1225AB-200+?
The DS1225AB-200+ has a write protection voltage threshold (VTP) of 4.50–4.75 V, meaning it automatically disables writes and initiates battery switchover when VCC falls within this range. This tighter threshold compared to the DS1225AD variant (4.25–4.5 V) provides earlier intervention against marginal supply conditions, preventing partial writes and ensuring data integrity in systems with well-regulated 5 V supplies.
Can DS1225AB-200+ operate across industrial temperature ranges?
The DS1225AB-200+ is specified for commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C). For industrial operation (–40°C to +85°C), the correct variant is DS1225AB-70IND+, which shares identical electrical specifications, pinout, and retention performance-but undergoes extended temperature screening. Using DS1225AB-200+ outside its rated range may compromise data retention, timing margins, and long-term reliability.
