Product details
Overview
DS1245WP-100+ from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V, 1024k-bit (131,072 × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with lithium-backed data retention, 100ns read/write access time, JEDEC-standard 34-pin PowerCap Module (PCM) package, and automatic power-loss write protection. It replaces volatile SRAM, EEPROM, or Flash in battery-free embedded systems requiring guaranteed 10-year data retention without external support circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the DS1245WP-100+ datasheet, DS1245WP-100+ pinout, DS1245WP-100+ application, or DS1245WP-100+ equivalent, key selection criteria include nonvolatile backup timing behavior, VCC fail-detect threshold (2.8–3.0V), PCM surface-mount compatibility, and industrial-grade temperature option availability.
Technical Context
The DS1245WP-100+ integrates SRAM, lithium battery, and autonomous power-fail detection/switching logic into a single module base. Its control circuitry monitors VCC continuously and triggers seamless switchover to lithium backup when voltage drops below ~2.8V, disabling all inputs and placing outputs in high-Z state.
It operates fully statically with no refresh required, supports standard parallel bus timing (tACC = 100ns, tWC = 100ns), and uses a standardized pinout compatible across Maxim's nonvolatile SRAM family. The PCM architecture separates reflow-soldered module base from snap-on DS9034PC+ PowerCap to avoid thermal damage to the lithium cell.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1,048,576-bit (131,072 × 8) - supports byte-wide microprocessor interfaces without address decoding overhead |
| Access Time | 100ns - enables direct replacement of 128k×8 SRAMs in legacy 32-bit bus systems |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without power - guaranteed from first VCC application, enabled by freshness seal disconnect |
| VCC Fail Threshold | 2.8V to 3.0V - initiates automatic write protection before data corruption occurs during brownout |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0V to 3.6V - compliant with 3.3V ±10% industrial logic rails |

| Write Cycles | Unlimited - eliminates endurance concerns present in EEPROM/Flash alternatives |
Pinout & Package
DS1245WP-100+ uses a 34-pin PowerCap Module (PCM) package: surface-mountable module base with keyed contacts for snap-on DS9034PC+ PowerCap. Lithium cell is thermally isolated from reflow soldering process.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 131,072-word addressing; TTL-compatible input thresholds |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; high-impedance output during write or chip deselect |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; controls internal enable/disable of memory array and I/O drivers |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; determines write cycle start/stop with CE; disables outputs when asserted |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; allows read data to appear on DQ lines only when CE and OE both low |
| VCC | Power Supply | +3.3V supply input; powers SRAM core and control logic; monitored for fail detection |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| VBAT | Lithium Backup | Internal connection to DS9034PC+ battery; electrically disconnected until first VCC application |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 1, 2, 33, 34 - unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1245W-100+ | 32-pin EDIP package; integrated lithium (no separate PowerCap); wave-solder only; same speed and retention | Suitable for through-hole legacy designs; not reflow-compatible; lacks modular serviceability | Select when retrofitting existing DIP footprints or avoiding secondary assembly step for PowerCap attachment |
| STK14CA8-330I5F | 3.3V 1Mbit nvSRAM; 32-pin SOIC; built-in battery; 100ns access; -40°C to +85°C rated | Surface-mount alternative with smaller footprint; no detachable battery; lower max operating current (35mA vs 50mA) | Select when board space is constrained and industrial temp range is mandatory, but modular battery replacement is not required |
Compared with DS1245W-100+ and STK14CA8-330I5F, DS1245WP-100+ uniquely enables reflow-soldered assembly plus field-replaceable battery via its PCM architecture-critical for high-reliability, long-lifecycle products requiring maintenance without board replacement.

FAQ
What is the function of the VBAT pin on the DS1245WP-100+?
The VBAT pin on the DS1245WP-100+ is an internal connection point to the lithium backup battery housed in the snap-on DS9034PC+ PowerCap. It remains electrically disconnected from the SRAM until the first application of VCC >3.0V, preserving full battery capacity. During power loss, the DS1245WP-100+ automatically switches to VBAT to maintain data integrity without external intervention.
Does the DS1245WP-100+ require external circuitry for nonvolatile operation?
No, the DS1245WP-100+ requires no external circuitry for nonvolatile operation. Its integrated control logic autonomously monitors VCC, triggers write protection below 2.8V, and switches to lithium backup-fully self-contained. Only the DS9034PC+ PowerCap (ordered separately) is needed to complete the module; no capacitors, supervisors, or firmware routines are necessary for data retention.
How does the DS1245WP-100+ differ from the DS1245W-100+?
The DS1245WP-100+ uses a 34-pin PowerCap Module (PCM) package designed for surface-mount reflow assembly, while the DS1245W-100+ uses a 32-pin EDIP package for through-hole mounting. The DS1245WP-100+ requires a separate DS9034PC+ PowerCap for battery functionality, enabling field-replaceable backup power; the DS1245W-100+ integrates the battery internally and is wave-solder only.
What is the significance of the "+" suffix in DS1245WP-100+?
The "+" suffix in DS1245WP-100+ indicates a lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant package. This applies to both the 34-pin PCM module base and the companion DS9034PC+ PowerCap. The "+" does not denote speed grade or temperature range-it solely certifies compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and related environmental standards.
Can the DS1245WP-100+ operate at 2.5V or 5V supply voltages?
No, the DS1245WP-100+ is specified exclusively for 3.3V ±0.3V operation (3.0V to 3.6V). It will not function reliably outside this range: below 3.0V, the device enters data retention mode and disables all I/O; above 3.6V, it exceeds absolute maximum ratings and risks permanent damage. It is not backward-compatible with 5V TTL or forward-compatible with 2.5V logic families.
