Product details
Overview
DS1225AD-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 read/write access time, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It replaces volatile SRAMs and EEPROMs in systems requiring persistent data retention during power loss, such as real-time clock registers and configuration storage in industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the DS1225AD-150IND datasheet, DS1225AD-150IND pinout, DS1225AD-150IND application, or DS1225AD-150IND equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC tolerance (±10%), write-protection threshold (4.25 V), automatic battery switchover at ~3.0 V, unlimited write cycles, and direct compatibility with 2764 EPROM/2864 EEPROM footprints.
Technical Context
The DS1225AD-150IND integrates a self-contained lithium energy source and voltage-monitoring circuitry that continuously supervises VCC; when supply drops below 4.25 V, it unconditionally enables write protection and switches to battery power at ~3.0 V. Its CMOS architecture supports full ±10% VCC operation (4.5 V to 5.5 V) and guarantees 10-year data retention without external support.
It operates as a byte-wide parallel memory with standard SRAM timing: CE and OE active-low for reads, CE and WE active-low for writes, and all address/data/control pins fully compatible with microprocessor buses. The device requires no external capacitors, regulators, or control logic-only a stable 5 V supply and proper PCB layout per JEDEC 28-pin DIP mechanical dimensions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1225Y-150IND+ | Same 8k×8 organization and 28-pin DIP, but uses older "Y" suffix indicating legacy process; identical VCC range and timing | No functional difference; same industrial temp grade and RoHS compliance; obsolescence risk higher than AD series | Select DS1225AD-150IND+ for guaranteed long-term availability and latest wafer fab revision |
| STK12C68-AV55F | 64k-bit NV SRAM with 55 ns access time, 4.5–5.5 V operation, but uses SOIC-28 package instead of DIP | Requires PCB layout change; lacks extended DIP mechanical compatibility with legacy 2764 sockets | Choose only if surface-mount assembly is mandatory and socket replacement is acceptable |
Compared with DS1225Y-150IND+ and STK12C68-AV55F, DS1225AD-150IND offers assured long-term supply, exact 28-pin DIP drop-in replacement capability for 2764/2864 sockets, and identical industrial qualification - making it optimal for legacy system maintenance and new designs targeting mechanical interchangeability.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1225AD-150IND?
The DS1225AD-150IND guarantees a minimum 10-year data retention period in the absence of external power, measured cumulatively from the first application of VCC. This is ensured by its hermetically sealed lithium energy source and on-chip power-fail detection circuitry that activates battery backup before VCC falls below 3.0 V. The specification is design-guaranteed and not 100% tested per unit.
Does DS1225AD-150IND require external support components for battery backup operation?
No, DS1225AD-150IND requires no external capacitors, regulators, or supervisor ICs. Its integrated lithium cell and voltage-monitoring circuitry handle automatic switchover between VCC and battery power. The device only needs a stable 5 V supply and proper decoupling per standard SRAM layout practices - simplifying design and improving reliability over discrete backup solutions.
How does DS1225AD-150IND differ from DS1225AB-150IND in terms of power supply tolerance?
DS1225AD-150IND supports a wider VCC range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V (±10%), whereas DS1225AB-150IND operates from 4.75 V to 5.25 V (±5%). This makes DS1225AD-150IND more tolerant of unregulated or noisy industrial power rails. Both share identical pinout, timing (70 ns), temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and nonvolatile functionality.
Can DS1225AD-150IND be used as a direct replacement for 2764 EPROMs in existing sockets?
Yes, DS1225AD-150IND is pin-compatible with the 2764 EPROM and 2864 EEPROM, sharing identical 28-pin DIP pinout and byte-wide interface timing. It requires no hardware modification - simply substitute into the same socket. Unlike EPROMs, DS1225AD-150IND supports unlimited writes and does not require UV erasure or programming voltage.
What happens to DS1225AD-150IND outputs during power-down?
During VCC decay, DS1225AD-150IND automatically places all outputs (DQ0–DQ7) in high-impedance state once write protection activates (~4.25 V), and maintains this state until VCC rises above ~4.5 V during power-up. This prevents bus contention and ensures clean reset behavior in microprocessor systems - a key requirement for reliable boot sequences in industrial controllers using DS1225AD-150IND.
