Product details
Overview
DS1225AB-70IND from Maxim Integrated is a 64k-bit (8k × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with integrated lithium battery backup, designed as a direct replacement for volatile SRAMs and EEPROMs in mission-critical memory retention applications. It delivers 70 ns read/write access time, operates over -40°C to +85°C, supports ±5% VCC tolerance (4.75 V–5.25 V), and guarantees ≥10 years data retention without external power.
For engineers reviewing the DS1225AB-70IND datasheet, DS1225AB-70IND pinout, DS1225AB-70IND application, or DS1225AB-70IND equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial-temperature nonvolatile memory substitution, battery-backed SRAM timing compliance, write-protection voltage threshold (4.50–4.75 V), and JEDEC-standard 28-pin DIP compatibility with 2764 EPROM/2864 EEPROM footprints.
Technical Context
The DS1225AB-70IND integrates self-contained lithium energy source and voltage-monitoring circuitry that automatically enables battery backup when VCC falls below 4.5 V and disables it upon power-up above ~3.0 V. Its control logic enforces unconditional write protection during power loss, placing all inputs in "don't care" state and outputs in high-impedance mode.
It implements standard parallel SRAM interface timing: CE and OE active-low for reads, CE and WE active-low for writes, with tACC = 70 ns, tWC = 70 ns, and tOE = 35 ns. Address range A0–A12 (13 bits) and bidirectional DQ0–DQ7 (8-bit bus) conform fully to byte-wide 28-pin DIP pinout and timing requirements of legacy microprocessor systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 65,536 bits (8,192 × 8), directly replaces 8k × 8 volatile SRAM or EEPROM |
| Access Time | 70 ns read/write - meets timing for 14 MHz Z80, 8086, and 68000-based systems |
| VCC Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V (±5%) - ensures stable operation across industrial-grade 5 V rails |

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-protect threshold (4.25–4.5 V) | Better suited for noisy or poorly regulated 5 V supplies where voltage dips below 4.75 V are frequent | Select DS1225AD-70IND+ if system VCC varies beyond ±5% but still requires industrial temp support |
| STK12C68-A70I | Same 8k × 8 organization and 70 ns speed; uses capacitor-based backup (no lithium); shorter retention (~5 years) | Lower cost, RoHS-compliant alternative where 10-year retention is not mandatory and capacitor recharge is acceptable | Choose STK12C68-A70I for cost-sensitive industrial designs with infrequent power loss and shorter product lifecycle |
Compared with DS1225AD-70IND+, the DS1225AB-70IND offers tighter VCC regulation and higher write-protect threshold-critical for stable 5 V rail environments-while STK12C68-A70I trades lithium longevity for capacitor simplicity and reduced bill-of-materials cost.

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 specification is design-guaranteed and based on accelerated lifetime testing per JEDEC standards-not 100% tested per unit but validated across process lots and temperature extremes.
Does DS1225AB-70IND require external components for battery backup operation?
No, the DS1225AB-70IND requires no external components for battery backup operation. Its integrated lithium energy source, voltage monitor, and power-switching circuitry are fully self-contained. The device ships with the lithium cell electrically disconnected ("freshness seal") and only engages it automatically when VCC drops below 4.5 V, eliminating need for external capacitors, regulators, or control logic.
Is DS1225AB-70IND pin-compatible with standard 28-pin EPROMs?
Yes, DS1225AB-70IND is pin-compatible with the 2764 EPROM and 2864 EEPROM, sharing identical 28-pin DIP pinout and signal assignments (A0–A12, DQ0–DQ7, CE, OE, WE, VCC, GND). This allows direct hardware substitution without PCB modification, provided system timing accommodates 70 ns access and write-protection behavior is accounted for in firmware.
What is the write-protection voltage threshold for DS1225AB-70IND?
The DS1225AB-70IND activates automatic write protection when VCC falls within the range of 4.50 V to 4.75 V (VTP). Below this threshold, the device disables all inputs, places outputs in high-impedance, and switches to lithium power-preventing partial writes and data corruption during brownout conditions.
Can DS1225AB-70IND operate across the full industrial temperature range?
Yes, DS1225AB-70IND is fully specified and tested for continuous operation from -40°C to +85°C. All electrical characteristics-including 70 ns access time, standby current (≤10 mA), and write-protection response latency (≤1.5 µs)-are guaranteed across this range, making it suitable for deployment in harsh industrial and outdoor environments.
