Product details
Overview
DS1225AB-70IND+ from Maxim Integrated is a 64k-bit (8192 × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with lithium-backed data retention, 70 ns read/write access time, ±5% VCC tolerance (4.75–5.25 V), and industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C). It replaces volatile SRAMs and EEPROMs in battery-free memory backup applications such as real-time clock registers and configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the DS1225AB-70IND+ datasheet, DS1225AB-70IND+ pinout, DS1225AB-70IND+ application, or DS1225AB-70IND+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 10-year data retention without external power, automatic write protection during VCC failure, JEDEC-standard 28-pin DIP compatibility, and direct substitution for 2764 EPROM/2864 EEPROM footprints.
Technical Context
The DS1225AB-70IND+ integrates self-contained lithium energy source and voltage-monitoring circuitry that triggers seamless switchover to battery backup when VCC drops below 4.5 V (VTP). Its control logic unconditionally enables write protection and places all I/Os in high-impedance state before VCC falls below ~3.0 V.
It operates as a fully static, byte-wide parallel memory with standard SRAM timing: CE/OE/WE-controlled read/write cycles, no refresh required, and full compatibility with microprocessor bus protocols. The device matches the pinout and timing of 28-pin 8k×8 memories while adding nonvolatility without external support components.

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 range (4.5–5.5 V, ±10%), lower VTP (4.25 V); otherwise identical pinout, timing, and retention | Better suited for systems with looser power regulation or wider input transients | Select DS1225AD-70IND+ if VCC may dip below 4.75 V during normal operation but must retain data down to 4.25 V |
| STK12C68-E25I | Same 8k×8 organization and 28-pin DIP, but uses capacitor-based backup (not lithium); 5-year retention, 25 ns access | Lower cost, shorter retention, requires external capacitor and charge circuit | Choose STK12C68-E25I only if 10-year retention is not required and board space allows for 0.1–1 F tantalum capacitor |
Compared with DS1225AD-70IND+, the DS1225AB-70IND+ offers tighter VCC regulation tolerance and higher write-protection threshold-critical for stable 5 V rail systems-while STK12C68-E25I trades long-term reliability for lower BOM cost and faster access, but demands external support components.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1225AB-70IND+?
The DS1225AB-70IND+ 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 value is design-guaranteed and based on accelerated life testing per Maxim's qualification standards-not extrapolated or estimated.
Does DS1225AB-70IND+ require external components for nonvolatile operation?
No, the DS1225AB-70IND+ requires no external capacitors, diodes, or controllers. Its integrated lithium energy source and voltage-monitoring circuitry operate autonomously. The "Freshness Seal" ensures full battery capacity is preserved until first power-up, eliminating pre-charge or conditioning steps.
Can DS1225AB-70IND+ be used as a drop-in replacement for 2764 EPROMs?
Yes, the DS1225AB-70IND+ matches the pinout, address/data bus structure, and timing of the 2764 EPROM (8k×8, 28-pin DIP). It supports identical CE/OE/WE control logic and requires no changes to existing PCB layout or firmware-only removal of UV-erasing or programming routines.
What happens to DS1225AB-70IND+ outputs during power loss?
When VCC falls below 4.5 V (VTP), the DS1225AB-70IND+ immediately disables all outputs (DQ0–DQ7 go high-impedance), ignores all address and control inputs, and switches to lithium backup. This prevents bus contention and data corruption during brownout conditions.
Is DS1225AB-70IND+ RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the '+' suffix in DS1225AB-70IND+ explicitly denotes a lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant package. It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and is qualified for wave soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements.
