Product details
Overview
DS1245Y-100 from Maxim Integrated is a 1024k (131,072 × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with lithium backup, full ±10% VCC operation (4.5V–5.5V), 70 ns read/write access time, and guaranteed 10-year data retention without external power. It replaces volatile SRAM, EEPROM, or Flash in real-time clock, configuration storage, and industrial controller memory applications.
For engineers reviewing the DS1245Y-100 datasheet, DS1245Y-100 pinout, DS1245Y-100 application, or DS1245Y-100 equivalent, key selection considerations include its self-contained lithium power switch, automatic write-protection at 4.25V VTP, JEDEC-standard 32-pin DIP package, and compatibility with standard 8-bit microprocessor buses.
Technical Context
The DS1245Y-100 integrates SRAM, lithium battery, and voltage-monitoring control circuitry into a single monolithic module. Its internal power-switching logic detects VCC decay below 4.25V and unconditionally enables write protection while switching to battery backup - all without external components.
It operates as a drop-in replacement for 128k × 8 volatile SRAMs using identical address/data/control timing. Read cycles require CE and OE low with WE high; write cycles require CE and WE low, with tWP = 55 ns and tWR = 5–15 ns recovery, fully compliant with standard microprocessor bus protocols.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1024 kbit (131,072 × 8) - supports full byte-wide addressing for legacy 8-bit systems |
| Access Time | 70 ns - meets timing requirements of 14 MHz Z80, 80C88, and 68000-based designs |
| VCC Range | 4.5V to 5.5V (±10%) - tolerates wide supply variation without external regulation |
| Write Protection Threshold | 4.25V (min) - triggers automatic data safeguard before brownout corruption occurs |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without power - enabled by sealed lithium cell and freshness seal activation on first power-up |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C (Commercial) - validated across full range with no derating required |
| Standby Current | 50–150 µA (CE = VCC−0.5V) - enables ultra-low-power hold mode in battery-backed systems |
Pinout & Package
DS1245Y-100 uses a JEDEC-standard 32-pin Extended DIP (740-mil) package with through-hole mounting. The package integrates SRAM, lithium battery, and power-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 decoding; compatible with standard 8-bit MPU address lines |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus with TTL-compatible levels and 2 mA drive capability |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; controls device enable and participates in write-cycle timing (tWC, tWR) |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; determines write start/stop edges and disables outputs during writes |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; enables tristate drivers during reads; must be high during writes to avoid contention |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply input; powers SRAM core and control logic; monitored continuously for fail detection |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal battery switching circuitry |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 1, 17, 32 - unused; no internal connection; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Power-Fail Detection | Internal comparator triggers write-protection and battery switchover within 1.5 µs when VCC drops below 4.25V |
| Freshness Seal Activation | Lithium cell remains electrically disconnected until first VCC > 4.25V application - preserves full 10-year capacity |
| Unlimited Write Cycles | No endurance limit - supports continuous logging, counter updates, or firmware patching without wear-out |
| Full ±10% VCC Operation | Eliminates need for precision 5V regulators in cost-sensitive industrial or telecom applications |
| JEDEC 32-Pin DIP Compatibility | Direct socket replacement for existing 128k × 8 SRAMs - no PCB redesign or layout changes required |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1245AB-70+ | Narrower VCC range (4.75V–5.25V); higher write-protection threshold (4.5V) | Better suited for tightly regulated 5V systems; less tolerant of supply sag | Select DS1245AB-70+ only if system VCC stays within ±5% and brownout margin is ≥0.25V above 4.5V |
| STK12C68-AW50 | Same density and DIP package; 50 ns access; requires external battery and supervisor IC | Higher design complexity due to discrete backup circuitry; lower integration | Choose STK12C68-AW50 only when faster access is mandatory and board space allows external components |
Compared with DS1245AB-70+ and STK12C68-AW50, the DS1245Y-100 offers broader supply tolerance and full integration - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, wide-input-voltage industrial systems where reliability and simplicity outweigh marginal speed gains.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for the DS1245Y-100?
The DS1245Y-100 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 cell is activated. This specification is assured by component selection, process control, and design - not production-tested per unit.
Does the DS1245Y-100 require external support circuitry for battery backup operation?
No, the DS1245Y-100 requires no external support circuitry. It integrates a lithium energy source, voltage-monitoring comparator, and power-switching logic internally. Once powered, it autonomously manages backup activation, write protection, and data retention without additional ICs or discrete components.
What is the write-protection voltage threshold for the DS1245Y-100?
The DS1245Y-100 activates automatic write protection when VCC falls to 4.25V (minimum), with typical trip at 4.37V and maximum at 4.5V. This ensures data integrity during brownout conditions well before logic-level corruption occurs in connected microprocessors.
Can the DS1245Y-100 be used as a direct replacement for standard 128k × 8 SRAMs?
Yes, the DS1245Y-100 uses a JEDEC-standard 32-pin DIP footprint and pinout, matching 128k × 8 volatile SRAMs. Its timing (70 ns access), address/data/control interface, and TTL-compatible signaling allow drop-in replacement without PCB or firmware changes.
Is the lithium battery in the DS1245Y-100 replaceable or serviceable?
No - the DS1245Y-100 uses a monolithic, non-replaceable lithium cell sealed inside the 32-pin DIP package. Unlike PowerCap Module variants (e.g., DS1245YP), the DS1245Y-100 does not support field-replaceable batteries; its 10-year retention is based on initial cell capacity and controlled discharge profile.
