Product details
Overview
DS1225AD-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 in legacy memory subsystems. It delivers 70 ns read/write access time, ±10% VCC tolerance (4.5 V to 5.5 V), automatic power-loss data protection, and guaranteed 10-year data retention without external power.
For engineers reviewing the DS1225AD-200 datasheet, DS1225AD-200 pinout, DS1225AD-200 application, or DS1225AD-200 equivalent, key selection considerations include its self-contained lithium energy source, JEDEC-standard 28-pin DIP package, write-protection threshold at 4.25 V, industrial temperature option, and compatibility with 2764 EPROM/2864 EEPROM footprints.
Technical Context
The DS1225AD-200 integrates a full CMOS SRAM core with on-chip voltage monitoring, power-switching circuitry, and a sealed lithium energy source. Its control logic continuously monitors VCC, triggering automatic write protection and battery switchover when supply drops below 4.25 V - ensuring zero data corruption during brownouts or power failure.
It operates in three distinct modes: normal read/write (VCC ≥ 4.5 V), data retention (VCC < 3.0 V, lithium-powered), and transitional power-down/power-up (3.0 V ≤ VCC < 4.5 V). All address (A0–A12), data (DQ0–DQ7), and control (CE, WE, OE) signals conform strictly to standard bytewide SRAM timing and electrical behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Capacity | 65,536 bits (8192 words × 8 bits); matches 8k × 8 SRAM footprint and addressing scheme |
| Access Time | 70 ns max; enables direct drop-in replacement in systems designed for 70 ns SRAMs like the HM628128 |
| VCC Operating Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V (±10%); supports wider supply tolerance than DS1225AB, easing design margining |
| Write Protection Threshold | 4.25 V min; initiates automatic data lockout before critical logic-level degradation occurs |
| Data Retention | ≥10 years without power; enabled by factory-fresh lithium cell disconnected until first power-on |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C (commercial); IND variant extends to –40°C to +85°C for industrial control use |
| Package | 28-pin 720-mil extended DIP (EDIP); JEDEC-compliant, wave-solderable, RoHS-compliant |
Pinout & Package
DS1225AD-200 uses a 28-pin, 720-mil extended dual in-line package (EDIP) with industry-standard pin spacing and lead form. The package is wave- or hand-solderable only and carries UL recognition (File E99151).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Inputs | 13-bit address bus supporting full 8192-word decoding; TTL-compatible inputs |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Bidirectional Data I/O | 8-bit data bus with high-impedance tri-state outputs; compatible with standard microprocessor data buses |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; controls device enable and contributes to write-cycle timing (tWC, tWR) |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; combined with CE to define write cycle start/stop; disables outputs during write |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; allows read access while CE is active; must be high during writes to avoid contention |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V nominal supply; powers SRAM core and control logic; monitored for fail-detect and battery switchover |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground reference; required for stable operation and noise immunity |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 14 and 24 are unconnected; no internal bonding or function; must remain floating |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Self-contained lithium backup | Lithium cell electrically isolated until first power-on, preserving full 10-year capacity and eliminating pre-charge or conditioning steps |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1225Y-70+ | Same 64k NV SRAM architecture but with 5 V ± 5% VCC tolerance and 4.5 V write-protect threshold; lower standby current (3 mA vs. 5 mA) | Preferred where tighter supply regulation exists and lower quiescent power is critical (e.g., battery-backed portable instruments) | Select DS1225Y-70+ when system VCC stability exceeds ±5% and industrial temp rating is not required |
| STK12C68-A70 | 64k NV SRAM with identical 28-pin DIP package and 70 ns speed, but uses capacitor-based backup (no lithium); 5 V ± 10% operation; 10-year retention requires periodic recharge | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer applications where lithium-free construction is mandated or where infrequent power cycling occurs | Choose STK12C68-A70 only if lithium-free compliance (e.g., shipping restrictions) overrides long-term maintenance-free operation |
Compared with DS1225Y-70+, DS1225AD-200 offers broader supply tolerance and higher write-protection margin, while STK12C68-A70 trades lithium longevity for regulatory simplicity - making DS1225AD-200 optimal for unattended industrial systems requiring guaranteed decade-long retention without intervention.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1225AD-200 under zero-power conditions?
The DS1225AD-200 guarantees ≥10 years of data retention without external power, measured from the time VCC is first applied and the internal lithium energy source is activated. This value is design-guaranteed and based on accelerated life testing per Maxim's reliability qualification standards - not extrapolated or estimated. The DS1225AD-200 achieves this through factory-sealed lithium cell isolation until initial power-on, preserving full electrochemical capacity.
Does DS1225AD-200 require external circuitry to manage battery backup or write protection?
No, DS1225AD-200 requires no external circuitry for battery management or write protection. Its integrated voltage monitor and power-switching circuitry automatically disconnect the lithium source until first power-on, then initiate unconditional write lockout and battery switchover when VCC falls below 4.25 V. This autonomous behavior eliminates the need for external supervisors, diodes, or charge pumps - simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
Is DS1225AD-200 pin-compatible with standard 28-pin EPROMs and EEPROMs?
Yes, DS1225AD-200 is fully pin-compatible with the 2764 EPROM and 2864 EEPROM, sharing identical pin assignments for A0–A12, DQ0–DQ7, CE, OE, WE, VCC, GND, and NC positions. This allows direct socket replacement in legacy designs without PCB modification. The DS1225AD-200 also matches the JEDEC-standard 28-pin DIP footprint and timing specifications, enabling seamless integration into existing 8k × 8 memory interfaces.
What is the minimum VCC level at which DS1225AD-200 enters write-protected mode?
The DS1225AD-200 enters unconditional write-protected mode when VCC falls to 4.25 V (minimum), as specified in its DC Electrical Characteristics table. At this threshold, all inputs become "don't care," outputs go high-impedance, and the lithium energy source is connected to retain RAM contents. This threshold is tighter than the DS1225AB (4.5 V), giving DS1225AD-200 greater margin before logic-level degradation affects system reliability.
Can DS1225AD-200 operate across industrial temperature ranges?
The base DS1225AD-200 is rated for 0°C to +70°C (commercial grade), but the industrial-temperature variant DS1225AD-70IND+ is explicitly qualified for –40°C to +85°C operation. Both share identical electrical specifications, pinout, and packaging - only the temperature screening differs. For designs targeting extended thermal environments, DS1225AD-70IND+ must be selected; the DS1225AD-200 part number itself does not imply industrial rating.
