Product details
Overview
DS1245AB-85+ from Maxim Integrated is a 1024k (131,072 × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with lithium backup, ±5% VCC tolerance (4.75–5.25 V), 70 ns access time, and industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C). It replaces volatile SRAM, EEPROM, or Flash in battery-backed data logging, configuration storage, and real-time clock memory applications.
For engineers reviewing the DS1245AB-85+ datasheet, DS1245AB-85+ pinout, DS1245AB-85+ application, or DS1245AB-85+ equivalent, key selection criteria include write-protection voltage (4.50–4.75 V), standby current (50–150 µA at CE = VCC–0.5 V), JEDEC 32-pin DIP compatibility, and automatic power-fail detection with seamless lithium switchover.
Technical Context
The DS1245AB-85+ integrates self-contained lithium energy source and voltage-monitoring circuitry that triggers unconditional write protection when VCC falls below 4.50 V and switches to battery power below ~3.0 V. Its fully static architecture requires no refresh cycles and supports standard microprocessor bus timing with CE/OE/WE control logic.
It operates in three distinct modes: normal read/write (VCC ≥ 4.75 V), data retention (VCC < 4.50 V), and power-down transition (VCC slew between 4.50 V and 3.0 V), with tPD = 1.5 µs fail-detect latency and tREC = 125 ms write-protection enable delay after power-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1024 kbit (131,072 × 8) - provides byte-wide interface for legacy 8-bit systems without address multiplexing. |
| Access Time | 70 ns - enables direct replacement of 128k × 8 SRAMs in 8-MHz bus systems with no wait states. |
| VCC Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V (±5%) - ensures stable operation across noisy industrial 5 V rails without external regulation. |
| Write Protection Threshold | 4.50–4.75 V - initiates automatic hardware lockout before data corruption occurs during brownout. |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without external power - guaranteed by factory-fresh lithium cell disconnected until first VCC application. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (IND grade) - qualified for deployment in outdoor metering, industrial PLCs, and transportation control units. |
| Standby Current | 50–150 µA (CE = VCC–0.5 V) - enables ultra-low-power retention in always-on embedded systems with intermittent wake-up. |
Pinout & Package
DS1245AB-85+ uses a JEDEC-standard 32-pin Extended DIP (740-mil) package with through-hole mounting. The package integrates SRAM, lithium battery, and control circuitry in a single hermetically sealed unit.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 131,072-word addressing; TTL-compatible inputs with 0.0–0.8 V low and 2.2–VCC high thresholds. |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus with 2 mA sink / –1 mA source drive; high-impedance on deselect or during write to prevent bus contention. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with WE and OE to initiate valid access; controls standby current ICCS2 (50–150 µA). |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge (with CE low) starts write cycle; tWR = 5–15 ns recovery required before next cycle. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; disables drivers when high during writes to avoid contention; tOE = 35 ns output valid delay. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±5% main supply; powers SRAM core and control logic; monitored continuously for write-protection activation. |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm of VCC/GND pins. |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 1, 2, 3, 17, 32 - electrically isolated; no internal connection; must remain unconnected on PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Power-Fail Response | Hardware-monitored VCC triggers write protection and lithium switchover within 1.5 µs, eliminating firmware dependency for data integrity. |
| Lithium Freshness Seal | Factory-disconnected battery retains full capacity until first VCC > 4.25 V application-ensures 10-year retention from installation date. |
| Unlimited Write Cycles | No endurance limit on SRAM writes-supports high-frequency logging (e.g., sensor sampling at 1 kHz) without wear-out concerns. |
| Standardized Pinout | JEDEC 32-pin DIP footprint matches legacy 128k × 8 SRAMs-enables drop-in replacement without PCB redesign. |
| Industrial Temperature Qualification | –40°C to +85°C operation verified per MIL-STD-883 methods-suitable for uncontrolled environments like utility substations or vehicle ECUs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1245Y-85+ | Wider VCC range (4.5–5.5 V, ±10%), lower write-protection threshold (4.25–4.5 V), same 70 ns speed and 10-year retention. | Better suited for systems with poorly regulated 5 V supplies but less margin for brownout detection near 4.5 V. | Select DS1245Y-85+ only if supply variation exceeds ±5%; otherwise DS1245AB-85+ offers tighter voltage guardband for critical data lockout. |
| STK12C68-A85 | Same 1024k size and 85°C rating, but uses external lithium coin cell; 85 ns access time; no integrated freshness seal. | Requires additional board space and soldering for battery holder; retention depends on user-installed cell quality and age. | Choose STK12C68-A85 only when cost sensitivity outweighs reliability and qualification burden; DS1245AB-85+ eliminates battery integration risk. |
Compared with DS1245Y-85+, DS1245AB-85+ provides stricter voltage monitoring for earlier write-lock activation, while STK12C68-A85 trades integrated reliability for modularity-making DS1245AB-85+ optimal for safety-critical, field-deployed systems requiring zero-integration liability.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1245AB-85+?
The DS1245AB-85+ guarantees minimum 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 a factory-fresh lithium cell electrically disconnected until initial power-up, with retention validated by component selection, process control, and design-not production-tested per unit.
Does DS1245AB-85+ require external support circuitry for microprocessor interfacing?
No, DS1245AB-85+ requires no external support circuitry for microprocessor interfacing. Its TTL-compatible address/data/control pins, built-in voltage monitoring, and automatic lithium switchover eliminate the need for external supervisors, batteries, or write-protection logic-enabling direct connection to 8-bit parallel buses.
How does DS1245AB-85+ handle power failure during a write operation?
DS1245AB-85+ detects VCC decay in real time and activates unconditional write protection within 1.5 µs (tPD) when voltage drops below 4.50 V. All inputs become "don't care," outputs go high-impedance, and the lithium source engages below ~3.0 V-preventing partial writes and ensuring data integrity even mid-cycle.
Is DS1245AB-85+ pin-compatible with standard 128k × 8 SRAMs?
Yes, DS1245AB-85+ uses a JEDEC-standard 32-pin Extended DIP (740-mil) package with identical pinout to legacy 128k × 8 SRAMs. Its A0–A16, DQ0–DQ7, CE, WE, OE, VCC, and GND assignments match industry-standard byte-wide SRAMs-enabling true drop-in replacement without layout changes.
What is the difference between DS1245AB-85+ and DS1245AB-70+?
The DS1245AB-85+ and DS1245AB-70+ share identical functionality, pinout, and temperature rating (–40°C to +85°C), differing only in speed grade: both specify 70 ns access time, but the "-85+" suffix denotes industrial temperature qualification with full AC/DC specs guaranteed across –40°C to +85°C, whereas "-70+" is commercial grade (0°C to +70°C).
