Product details
Overview
DS1230Y-200+ from Maxim Integrated is a 256k (32k × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with integrated lithium backup, ±10% VCC operation (4.5V–5.5V), 70 ns access time, and 10-year data retention without external power. It serves as a drop-in replacement for volatile SRAMs in real-time clock and configuration memory systems where power loss resilience is critical.
For engineers reviewing the DS1230Y-200+ datasheet, DS1230Y-200+ pinout, DS1230Y-200+ application, or DS1230Y-200+ equivalent, key selection factors include its self-contained battery switchover at ~3.0 V, automatic write protection during brownout, JEDEC-standard 28-pin DIP footprint, and compatibility with legacy 32k × 8 SRAM sockets.
Technical Context
The DS1230Y-200+ integrates SRAM, lithium battery, and voltage-monitoring control circuitry into a single monolithic module. Its power-fail detection triggers unconditional write protection and high-impedance outputs when VCC drops below 4.25 V, and switches to battery power below ~3.0 V.
It operates in three distinct modes: normal read/write (VCC ≥ 4.5 V), data retention (VCC < 3.0 V), and transitional power-down/power-up (3.0 V ≤ VCC < 4.5 V), with tREC = 125 ms recovery to full functionality after VCC restoration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 262,144 bits (32,768 × 8), directly replaces standard 32k × 8 SRAM sockets |
| Access Time | 70 ns - enables direct interface with 14 MHz microcontrollers without wait states |
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V (±10%) - supports wide-input industrial power rails |
| Data Retention | 10 years without external power - guaranteed by factory-sealed lithium cell and low ICCS2 standby current (50–150 µA) |
| Write Protection Threshold | VTP = 4.25–4.5 V - initiates automatic lockout before logic levels become unreliable |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C (Commercial) - validated across full range with no derating |
| Package | 28-pin 740-mil Extended DIP (EDIP) - JEDEC-standard footprint, wave/hand solderable |
Pinout & Package
DS1230Y-200+ uses a JEDEC-standard 28-pin 740-mil Extended DIP (EDIP) package with integrated lithium battery and control circuitry. The package is wave- or hand-solderable only (not reflow-compatible).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus supporting full 32k-word addressing; TTL-compatible inputs |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus with 2.0 mA sink / -1.0 mA source drive capability |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; controls device enable and write-protection timing (tPD = 1.5 µs) |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; determines write start/stop edges with CE per tWP = 55 ns |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; enables tristate drivers independently of WE/CE state |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply input; monitored continuously for brownout detection and battery switchover |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal battery circuitry |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 1, 3, 4, and 33 are unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Self-contained lithium backup | Freshness seal ensures full battery capacity until first VCC application >4.25 V; no external battery management required |
| Automatic power-fail response | Sub-µs detection (tPD = 1.5 µs) and unconditional write protection prevent corruption during VCC decay |
| Unlimited write cycles | No endurance limit - unlike EEPROM/Flash, supports continuous logging or buffer updates without wear-out |
| Standardized pinout compatibility | Matches both 28-pin 32k × 8 SRAMs and 28256 EEPROMs, enabling drop-in upgrades in existing designs |
| Low-power retention mode | ICCS2 = 50–150 µA at VCC = VCC−0.5 V - minimizes system standby power draw during battery backup |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1230AB-70+ | Narrower VCC tolerance (±5%, 4.75–5.25 V); higher write-protection threshold (4.5–4.75 V) | Better suited for tightly regulated 5 V systems; less tolerant of noisy or aging power supplies | Select DS1230AB-70+ when VCC stability exceeds ±5% and brownout margin must exceed 0.25 V |
| STK12C68-55I | Same 256k size and 28-pin DIP, but uses capacitor-based backup (no lithium); 55 ns access time | Limited retention (~72 hours typical); requires external supercapacitor charging circuitry | Choose STK12C68-55I only for short-duration backup needs where RoHS battery restrictions apply |
Compared with DS1230AB-70+, DS1230Y-200+ offers wider supply tolerance and lower brownout threshold-critical for field-deployed equipment with variable input rails-while STK12C68-55I trades long-term reliability for capacitor-only backup and avoids lithium handling constraints.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1230Y-200+?
The DS1230Y-200+ guarantees 10 years of data retention in the absence of external power, measured from the time VCC is first applied above 4.25 V. This is ensured by factory-sealed lithium cell integration, low standby current (ICCS2 = 50–150 µA), and hermetic packaging - not extrapolated or estimated.
Does DS1230Y-200+ require external circuitry for battery management?
No, DS1230Y-200+ requires no external battery management. Its internal control circuitry automatically disconnects the lithium source until first power-up (>4.25 V), monitors VCC continuously, and switches to battery backup below ~3.0 V - all without support components.
Is DS1230Y-200+ pin-compatible with standard 28-pin 32k × 8 SRAMs?
Yes, DS1230Y-200+ uses a JEDEC-standard 28-pin 740-mil Extended DIP footprint with identical pinout to conventional 32k × 8 SRAMs and 28256 EEPROMs, enabling direct socket replacement without PCB modification.
What is the write protection voltage threshold for DS1230Y-200+?
The DS1230Y-200+ asserts unconditional write protection when VCC falls within 4.25 V to 4.5 V (VTP), ensuring data integrity before logic levels degrade - a tighter threshold than DS1230AB variants, optimized for less-regulated power systems.
Can DS1230Y-200+ be used in surface-mount designs?
No, DS1230Y-200+ is a through-hole 28-pin EDIP package intended for wave or hand soldering only. For surface-mount applications, use the PCM variant DS1230YP-200+, which requires a separate DS9034PC+ PowerCap.
