Product details
Overview
DS1230YP-70IND+ from Maxim Integrated is a 256k (32k × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with integrated lithium backup, industrial temperature rating (–40°C to +85°C), ±10% VCC tolerance (4.5V–5.5V), and 70 ns read/write access time. It replaces volatile SRAM, EEPROM, or Flash in mission-critical data logging, real-time clock backup, and configuration storage where power loss resilience is essential.
For engineers reviewing the DS1230YP-70IND+ datasheet, DS1230YP-70IND+ pinout, DS1230YP-70IND+ application, or DS1230YP-70IND+ equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (34-pin PowerCap Module), terminal roles, retention timing, write-protection thresholds, and direct substitution guidance for industrial-grade nonvolatile memory selection.
Technical Context
The DS1230YP-70IND+ integrates a 262,144-bit SRAM array, lithium battery switching circuitry, and automatic write-protection logic that triggers at VTP = 4.25V (min) and maintains data when VCC falls below ~3.0V. Its PowerCap Module (PCM) architecture separates reflow-soldered PCB mounting from snap-on battery attachment using DS9034PC+ or DS9034PCI+.
It operates in three distinct modes: normal read/write (VCC ≥ 4.5V), automatic write-protect (VCC < 4.25V), and battery-retention (VCC < 3.0V). All inputs become "don't care" and outputs go high-Z during power-down, eliminating bus contention without external control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 256 kbit (32,768 × 8) - supports byte-wide microprocessor interfaces without address decoding overhead |
| Access Time | 70 ns - enables direct replacement of standard 32k × 8 SRAMs in legacy 8-bit/16-bit systems |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without external power - guaranteed by factory-fresh lithium disconnect and sealed PCM construction |
| VCC Range | 4.5V to 5.5V (±10%) - accommodates wide-input industrial power rails and brown-out conditions |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, metering, and transportation electronics |
| Write Cycles | Unlimited - eliminates wear-leveling firmware and endurance management logic |
| Standby Current | 50–150 µA (CE = VCC–0.5V) - enables low-power battery-backed operation in sleep states |
Pinout & Package
DS1230YP-70IND+ uses the 34-pin PowerCap Module (PCM) package: surface-mountable base with keyed snap-on DS9034PC+ or DS9034PCI+ PowerCap. The PCM avoids thermal exposure of the lithium cell during reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus for full 32k-word addressing; compatible with standard 8080/Z80/68K-style memory maps |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus; high-impedance during write cycles if OE = VIH to prevent contention |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; initiates read/write when low; forces high-Z outputs on deassertion |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge (with CE low) starts write cycle; disables outputs in tODW |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output enable; must be high during writes to avoid bus conflicts |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply input; powers SRAM and control logic; monitored continuously for voltage decay |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal switching circuits |
| VBAT | Lithium Backup Terminal | Connects to DS9034PC+ PowerCap; electrically isolated until first VCC application >4.25V |
| NC | No Connect | Unused pins (pins 1, 3, 4, 33, 34); no internal connection; must remain unconnected |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Write Protection | Triggers unconditionally at VTP = 4.25V (min); prevents corruption during brown-out or power failure |
| Freshness Seal | Lithium source disconnected at shipment; full capacity preserved until first VCC application >4.25V |
| Standardized PCM Pinout | Shared footprint across Maxim's nonvolatile SRAM family; simplifies BOM consolidation and layout reuse |
| High-Temp Battery Isolation | PowerCap snaps on post-reflow; lithium never exposed to >260°C soldering temperatures |
| Zero External Support Circuitry | No external capacitors, regulators, or supervisory ICs required for nonvolatile operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1230ABP-70IND+ | ±5% VCC tolerance (4.75V–5.25V); higher write-protection threshold (4.50V min) | Better suited for tightly regulated 5V supplies; less tolerant of brown-out but faster recovery from marginal VCC | Select when system VCC regulation is stable and write-protection margin must exceed 4.5V |
| STK12C68-70I | Same 256k size, 70 ns speed, industrial temp, but uses internal capacitor-based backup (no lithium) | Shorter retention (~14 days typical); unsuitable for long-term archival but avoids battery handling restrictions | Select when RoHS battery-free design or simplified logistics outweigh 10-year retention requirement |
Compared with DS1230ABP-70IND+, the DS1230YP-70IND+ offers wider VCC tolerance for unregulated industrial rails, while STK12C68-70I trades lithium longevity for capacitor-based simplicity-making DS1230YP-70IND+ optimal for long-duration, safety-critical backup where voltage variation is expected.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1230YP-70IND+?
The DS1230YP-70IND+ guarantees a minimum 10-year data retention period in the absence of external power, measured from the time VCC is first applied above 4.25V. This is assured by factory-sealed lithium freshness, controlled component selection, and process validation-not extrapolated or estimated. The DS1230YP-70IND+ achieves this without external capacitors or support circuitry.
Does DS1230YP-70IND+ require external circuitry for battery backup operation?
No, the DS1230YP-70IND+ requires no external circuitry for nonvolatile operation. Its integrated control logic monitors VCC continuously, automatically switches to lithium backup below ~3.0V, and enforces unconditional write protection below 4.25V. The DS1230YP-70IND+ functions as a drop-in replacement for standard 28-pin DIP SRAMs when used with the DS9034PC+ PowerCap.
What is the role of the VBAT pin on DS1230YP-70IND+?
The VBAT pin on DS1230YP-70IND+ is the dedicated lithium battery contact point for the DS9034PC+ or DS9034PCI+ PowerCap. It remains electrically isolated from the SRAM until VCC exceeds 4.25V for the first time-preserving full battery capacity. During power loss, VBAT supplies current to retain data; during normal operation, it is disconnected to prevent self-discharge.
Can DS1230YP-70IND+ be reflow soldered directly with its PowerCap attached?
No-DS1230YP-70IND+ must be reflow soldered without the PowerCap. The DS9034PC+ or DS9034PCI+ PowerCap is snapped onto the pre-soldered PCM base after reflow. This protects the lithium cell from destructive thermal exposure (>260°C), as specified in Maxim's packaging guidelines. Attaching the PowerCap before reflow voids the 10-year retention guarantee.
How does DS1230YP-70IND+ differ from DS1230Y-70IND+?
DS1230YP-70IND+ and DS1230Y-70IND+ share identical memory size, speed (70 ns), temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and functionality-but differ in package only: DS1230YP-70IND+ uses the 34-pin PowerCap Module (PCM), while DS1230Y-70IND+ uses the 28-pin EDIP. Both use ±10% VCC tolerance and the same 4.25V write-protection threshold. The DS1230YP-70IND+ enables surface-mount assembly with post-solder battery attachment.
