Product details
Overview
DS1225AB-200 from Maxim Integrated is a 64k-bit (8192 × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with integrated lithium battery backup, designed as a direct pin-compatible replacement for 8k × 8 volatile SRAMs and EEPROMs. It features 70 ns read/write access time, ±5% VCC tolerance (4.75 V to 5.25 V), automatic write protection below 4.5 V, and guaranteed 10-year data retention without external power in commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C).
For engineers reviewing the DS1225AB-200 datasheet, DS1225AB-200 pinout, DS1225AB-200 application, or DS1225AB-200 equivalent, key selection considerations include its self-contained power-fail detection circuitry, JEDEC-standard 28-pin extended DIP package, no external support components required, and compatibility with 2764 EPROM/2864 EEPROM footprints.
Technical Context
The DS1225AB-200 integrates a CMOS SRAM core with on-chip voltage monitoring, lithium energy source, and analog power-switching logic that autonomously transitions between VCC and battery power at ~3.0 V. Its control architecture enforces unconditional write protection when VCC drops below VTP = 4.50–4.75 V, placing all inputs in "don't care" state and outputs in high-impedance mode.
It operates in three distinct modes: normal read/write (VCC ≥ 4.75 V), data retention (VCC < 3.0 V, lithium active), and transitional power-down/power-up (3.0 V ≤ VCC < 4.75 V), with tPD = 1.5 µs fail-detect latency and tREC = 125 ms write-protection enable delay after VCC validity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 65,536 bits (8192 words × 8 bits); matches byte-wide 8k × 8 memory map of legacy SRAM/EPROM designs. |
| Access Time | 70 ns max tACC; enables direct drop-in replacement in systems clocked up to ~14 MHz bus timing. |
| VCC Tolerance | ±5% (4.75 V to 5.25 V); supports stable operation across standard 5 V supply rails with typical regulation drift. |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without external power; guaranteed by design using sealed lithium cell disconnected until first power-up. |
| Write Protection Threshold | VTP = 4.50–4.75 V; triggers automatic hardware lockout before VCC reaches levels risking SRAM corruption. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C (Commercial grade); validated for use in industrial control panels and telecom line cards without derating. |
| Package | 28-pin 720-mil Extended DIP (EDIP); JEDEC-compliant footprint compatible with 2764 EPROM and 2864 EEPROM sockets. |
Pinout & Package
DS1225AB-200 uses a 28-pin 720-mil Extended Dual In-line Package (EDIP) with through-hole mounting and wave/hand soldering capability. Pin 1 is located at the left end of the top row (standard DIP orientation).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Inputs | 13-bit address bus interface; selects one of 8192 memory locations during read/write cycles. |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus; tri-stated automatically during write cycles when OE is high or CE/WE inactive. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; initiates read/write when low and coordinates timing with WE/OE per JEDEC SRAM protocol. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; controls data latching and disables outputs during write to prevent bus contention. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; enables data drivers only during read cycles when CE and WE are properly asserted. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±5% main supply; powers SRAM core and monitoring circuitry; disconnects lithium source above ~3.0 V. |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all digital and analog functions; must be low-impedance to ensure reliable power-switching transition. |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 14 and 24 are unconnected; no internal bonding or function-must remain floating or grounded per PCB layout best practice. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Self-contained lithium backup | Eliminates need for external battery management ICs, diodes, or capacitors-reduces BOM count and board space. |
| Automatic power-fail detection | Hardware-level VCC monitoring with 1.5 µs response ensures zero-cycle data loss during brownout or sudden power loss. |
| Unlimited write endurance | Supports infinite write cycles without wear-out-enables frequent logging, configuration storage, or real-time parameter updates. |
| Freshness seal activation | Lithium source remains electrically isolated until first VCC application > VTP, preserving full 10-year retention capacity from shipment. |
| Direct EPROM/EEPROM replacement | Identical pinout to 2764 (8k × 8 EPROM) and 2864 (8k × 8 EEPROM), enabling firmware upgrade paths without PCB redesign. |

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 V–5.5 V); lower VTP (4.25–4.5 V); same 70 ns speed and EDIP package. | Preferred in systems with poorly regulated 5 V supplies or wider ambient temperature swings where tighter VTP margin is acceptable. | Select DS1225AD-70+ only if supply variation exceeds ±5% or industrial temp range (-40°C to +85°C) is required. |
| STK12C68-E25 | Same 64k NV SRAM function but 25 ns access time; 28-pin DIP; requires external capacitor for power-fail holdup (not self-contained). | Used where faster access is mandatory and board area allows discrete holdup capacitor placement. | Choose STK12C68-E25 only when sub-30 ns timing is needed and external capacitor integration is feasible. |
Compared with DS1225AD-70+, the DS1225AB-200 offers tighter supply regulation tolerance and higher write-protection threshold-critical for systems with clean 5 V rails where early lockout prevents spurious writes during marginal VCC. Versus STK12C68-E25, DS1225AB-200 eliminates external holdup components and guarantees retention without design-dependent capacitor sizing.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1225AB-200?
The DS1225AB-200 guarantees a minimum 10-year data retention period in the absence of external power, starting from the moment VCC is first applied and the internal lithium energy source is activated. This value is design-guaranteed-not 100% tested-and assumes proper handling per Maxim's freshness seal specification. The DS1225AB-200 achieves this using a hermetically sealed lithium cell disconnected until initial power-up.
Does DS1225AB-200 require external components for battery backup operation?
No, the DS1225AB-200 requires no external components for battery backup operation. It integrates a lithium energy source, voltage monitor, and power-switching circuitry within the 28-pin EDIP package. Unlike hybrid solutions, the DS1225AB-200 autonomously manages VCC-to-battery handover at ~3.0 V without capacitors, diodes, or supervisory ICs-making it a true single-component NV SRAM solution.
Is DS1225AB-200 pin-compatible with standard 2764 EPROMs?
Yes, the DS1225AB-200 is fully pin-compatible with the 2764 EPROM (8k × 8) and 2864 EEPROM, sharing identical 28-pin DIP pinout, address/data bus mapping, and control signal assignments (CE, OE, WE). This allows direct socket replacement in existing designs without PCB modification-enabling immediate performance and reliability upgrades over UV-erasable or slow-write nonvolatile memory.
What is the write protection voltage threshold for DS1225AB-200?
The DS1225AB-200 asserts hardware write protection when VCC falls below VTP = 4.50 V (min) to 4.75 V (max), as specified in its DC Electrical Characteristics table. This threshold is tighter than the DS1225AD variant (4.25–4.5 V), making DS1225AB-200 more conservative in locking out writes during marginal supply conditions-ideal for systems with tightly regulated 5 V rails.
Can DS1225AB-200 operate across industrial temperature range?
No, the DS1225AB-200 is rated for commercial temperature range only (0°C to +70°C). For industrial operation (-40°C to +85°C), the designated part is DS1225AB-70IND+, which shares identical electrical specifications and package but is screened and qualified for extended temperature performance. Using DS1225AB-200 outside 0°C–70°C voids its guaranteed retention and timing specifications.
