Product details
Overview
DS1245AB-70+ from Maxim Integrated is a 1024k (131,072 × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with lithium backup, ±5% VCC tolerance (4.75–5.25V), 70 ns access time, and 10-year data retention without power. It replaces volatile SRAM, EEPROM, or Flash in battery-backed memory applications such as industrial PLCs and embedded data loggers.
For engineers reviewing the DS1245AB-70+ datasheet, DS1245AB-70+ pinout, DS1245AB-70+ application, or DS1245AB-70+ equivalent, key selection criteria include write-protection voltage (4.50–4.75V), industrial temperature option (-40°C to +85°C), JEDEC 32-pin DIP compatibility, and absence of external support circuitry for microprocessor interfacing.
Technical Context
The DS1245AB-70+ integrates SRAM, lithium battery, and voltage-monitoring control circuitry into a single monolithic package. Its self-contained power-fail detection triggers automatic write protection when VCC drops below 4.5V and switches to battery backup below ~3.0V.
It operates in standard read/write modes using CE, WE, and OE controls with full static timing-no refresh required-and supports unlimited write cycles without wear leveling or erase overhead. The device uses a 17-bit address bus (A0–A16) and 8-bit bidirectional data bus (DQ0–DQ7).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1024 kbit (131,072 × 8) - provides byte-wide, fully static RAM capacity matching legacy 128k×8 SRAM footprints |
| Access Time | 70 ns - enables direct drop-in replacement for 70 ns volatile SRAMs in existing 80C/8051/Z80-based systems |
| VCC Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V (±5%) - ensures stable operation across noisy industrial 5V rails without external regulation |
| Write Protection Threshold | 4.50–4.75 V - initiates automatic data lockout before supply collapse corrupts writes |
| Data Retention | 10 years without power - guaranteed by sealed lithium cell and internal freshness seal activated only on first power-up |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C (commercial) - validated for use in office automation, test equipment, and telecom line cards |
| Package | 32-pin 740-mil Extended DIP - JEDEC-standard through-hole footprint compatible with legacy PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
DS1245AB-70+ uses a JEDEC-standard 32-pin 740-mil Extended Dual In-line Package (EDIP) with integrated lithium battery and control circuitry. No external backup components are required.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus enabling full 131,072-word addressing; TTL-compatible inputs |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus; high-impedance during deselect or write to prevent bus contention |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with WE low to initiate write, or with OE low to enable read |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge (with CE low) defines write start; disables outputs if OE active |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output enable; controls data bus drivers during read; must be high during write |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply input; powers SRAM core and monitoring circuitry; triggers lithium activation on first application >4.25V |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal battery switching circuitry |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 1, 17, 32 - physically present but unconnected internally; no routing or termination required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Power-Fail Protection | Monitors VCC continuously; locks writes and switches to lithium backup within 1.5 µs of out-of-tolerance detection |
| Freshness Seal Activation | Lithium source remains electrically disconnected until first VCC >4.25V, preserving full 10-year retention capacity |
| No External Support Circuitry | Integrates voltage monitor, switch, and battery-eliminates need for discrete supervisors, diodes, or capacitors |
| Unlimited Write Cycles | SRAM-based architecture enables infinite writes without endurance limits or block management overhead |
| Standard Interface Timing | Full static read/write timing compliant with industry-standard 70 ns SRAM timing diagrams and microprocessor bus protocols |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1245Y-70+ | Wider VCC range (4.5–5.5V, ±10%), lower write-protection threshold (4.25–4.5V) | Better suited for systems with unregulated 5V supplies or wider input tolerance requirements | Select DS1245Y-70+ when supply variation exceeds ±5%; DS1245AB-70+ preferred for tightly regulated 5V rails |
| STK12C68-A70T | Same 1024k size and 70 ns speed, but uses external battery and separate supervisor IC | Requires additional board space and design validation for battery interface and voltage monitoring | Choose STK12C68-A70T only if legacy board layout mandates external battery placement or cost sensitivity outweighs integration benefit |
Compared with DS1245Y-70+, the DS1245AB-70+ offers tighter supply regulation and higher write-protection voltage-critical for noise-immune operation in industrial 5V systems; versus STK12C68-A70T, it delivers full integration, reducing BOM count and qualification effort while guaranteeing 10-year retention without external component aging effects.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1245AB-70+?
The DS1245AB-70+ guarantees 10 years of data retention in the absence of external power, measured from the time VCC is first applied above 4.25V. This is ensured by an internal freshness seal that keeps the lithium energy source disconnected until initial power-up, preserving full battery capacity. The specification is based on component selection, process control, and design-not production-tested per unit.
Does DS1245AB-70+ require external circuitry for battery backup operation?
No, the DS1245AB-70+ requires no external circuitry for battery backup operation. It integrates the lithium energy source, voltage-monitoring logic, and power-switching circuitry into a single 32-pin EDIP package. The device automatically detects VCC failure, enables write protection, and switches to battery power without any external components or firmware intervention.
What is the write-protection voltage threshold for DS1245AB-70+?
The DS1245AB-70+ asserts write protection when VCC falls within the range of 4.50 V to 4.75 V. This threshold is tighter than the DS1245Y variant and ensures early lockout against data corruption during marginal supply conditions typical in industrial 5V systems with ±5% tolerance.
Can DS1245AB-70+ be used as a direct replacement for standard 128k × 8 SRAMs?
Yes, the DS1245AB-70+ is designed as a direct pin-compatible replacement for 128k × 8 volatile static RAMs in JEDEC 32-pin DIP sockets. It matches the same address (A0–A16), data (DQ0–DQ7), and control (CE, WE, OE) pinout, operates at 70 ns access time, and requires no changes to existing microprocessor bus timing or PCB layout.
Is DS1245AB-70+ RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the DS1245AB-70+ is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as indicated by the "+" suffix in its ordering code. It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and is manufactured with Pb-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound, verified per Maxim Integrated's material declarations.
