Product details
Overview
DS1230Y-200 from Maxim Integrated is a 256k (32k × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with integrated lithium backup, JEDEC-standard 28-pin DIP package, ±10% VCC operating range (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 battery-backed memory systems requiring guaranteed data integrity during power loss.
For engineers reviewing the DS1230Y-200 datasheet, DS1230Y-200 pinout, DS1230Y-200 application, or DS1230Y-200 equivalent, key selection criteria include write-protection voltage threshold (4.25V), standby current (50–150 µA), lithium-freshness seal activation, PowerCap compatibility, and industrial temperature option support.
Technical Context
The DS1230Y-200 integrates SRAM, lithium battery, and autonomous power-fail detection circuitry into a single monolithic DIP package. Its control logic continuously monitors VCC, triggering automatic write protection and lithium switchover when voltage falls below 4.25V, and restoring normal operation above 4.5V.
It supports standard microprocessor bus timing with CE/OE/WE control, full address/data multiplexing via A0–A14 and DQ0–DQ7, and operates across 0°C to +70°C (commercial) or –40°C to +85°C (IND variant). No external support circuitry is required for nonvolatile operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 262,144-bit (32,768 × 8), byte-wide parallel interface compatible with legacy 32k×8 SRAM sockets |
| Access Time | 70 ns - enables direct replacement of 70 ns static RAMs without timing redesign |
| VCC Range | 4.5V to 5.5V (±10%) - accommodates wider supply tolerance than DS1230AB, easing power rail design |
| Write Protection Threshold | 4.25V - triggers automatic data lockout earlier than DS1230AB (4.5V), enhancing margin against brownout corruption |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without external power - guaranteed by sealed lithium source and internal power-switching architecture |
| Standby Current | 50–150 µA at CE = VCC−0.5V - enables ultra-low-power hold mode in battery-critical applications |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C (commercial); IND variant supports –40°C to +85°C - validated for embedded industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
DS1230Y-200 uses a JEDEC-standard 28-pin Extended DIP (740-mil) package with integrated lithium battery and nonvolatile control circuitry. Pinout matches industry-standard 32k×8 SRAMs and 28256 EEPROMs for direct socket compatibility.
| 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 | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus with high-impedance outputs during deselect/write |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; initiates read/write when low with OE/WE conditions met |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge (with CE low) starts write cycle |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output enable; controls data bus drivers during read cycles only |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply input; powers SRAM and control logic; triggers lithium activation on first power-up |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal circuitry |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 1, 3, 4, and 33 are unconnected; must remain floating per datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Power-Fail Response | Sub-µs detection of VCC decay below 4.25V triggers unconditional write protection and lithium switchover-no firmware or external supervisor needed |
| Lithium Freshness Seal | Factory-disconnected battery ensures full 10-year retention capacity; enabled only upon first VCC > 4.25V application |
| Unlimited Write Cycles | No endurance limit on SRAM writes-eliminates wear-leveling overhead and flash/EEPROM rewrite constraints |
| Standardized Pinout Compatibility | Matches 28-pin DIP SRAMs and 28256 EEPROMs-enables hardware reuse without PCB redesign |
| Low-Power CMOS Architecture | 50 µA typical standby current at VCC−0.5V enables long-term battery-backed retention in energy-constrained systems |

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 range (4.75V–5.25V); higher write-protection threshold (4.50V); same 70 ns speed and 28-pin DIP | Better suited for tightly regulated 5V rails; less tolerant of brownout conditions than DS1230Y-200 | Select DS1230AB-70+ when system VCC stability exceeds ±5% and higher VTP margin is preferred |
| STK12C68-AW50 | Same 256k size and 28-pin DIP; 50 ns access time; requires external battery and discrete supervisor circuit | Higher performance but adds BOM cost, layout area, and validation complexity for backup management | Choose STK12C68-AW50 only when sub-70 ns timing is mandatory and external component integration is acceptable |
Compared with DS1230AB-70+, the DS1230Y-200 offers wider supply tolerance and earlier write-protection activation-critical for brownout-prone industrial power supplies-while STK12C68-AW50 trades integration for raw speed and requires external backup design effort.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1230Y-200?
The DS1230Y-200 guarantees a minimum 10-year data retention period in the absence of external power, measured from the time VCC is first applied and the internal lithium energy source is activated. This specification is assured through component selection, process control, and design-not production-tested per unit-but backed by Maxim's reliability qualification standards.
Does DS1230Y-200 require external circuitry for battery backup operation?
No, the DS1230Y-200 does not require external circuitry for battery backup operation. It integrates a lithium energy source, power-fail detection logic, and automatic switchover circuitry into a single 28-pin DIP package. The lithium cell remains electrically disconnected until first application of VCC > 4.25V, ensuring full capacity retention.
How does DS1230Y-200 differ from DS1230AB-70+ in terms of voltage tolerance?
The DS1230Y-200 supports a ±10% VCC range (4.5V–5.5V), whereas the DS1230AB-70+ supports only ±5% (4.75V–5.25V). Additionally, DS1230Y-200 activates write protection at 4.25V versus 4.50V for DS1230AB-70+, giving it greater immunity to marginal brownout conditions before data corruption risk arises.
Is DS1230Y-200 pin-compatible with standard 32k × 8 SRAMs?
Yes, DS1230Y-200 uses a JEDEC-standard 28-pin DIP package with pinout identical to popular 32k × 8 volatile SRAMs and 28256 EEPROMs. This allows direct socket replacement without PCB modification-provided VCC and timing constraints align with its ±10% supply and 70 ns access specifications.
What temperature ranges are available for DS1230Y-200?
The DS1230Y-200 is offered in commercial (0°C to +70°C) and industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temperature grades. The industrial variant is designated DS1230Y-200IND+ and undergoes extended testing to ensure reliable nonvolatile operation across the full –40°C to +85°C range, including lithium performance and power-fail response consistency.
