Product details
Overview
DS1245Y-85 from Maxim Integrated is a 1024k (131,072 × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with integrated lithium backup, JEDEC-standard 32-pin DIP package, ±10% VCC operation (4.5V–5.5V), and 70 ns read/write access time. It automatically enables write protection during power loss and retains data for ≥10 years without external power - used in industrial control memory logging and legacy system SRAM replacement.
For engineers reviewing the DS1245Y-85 datasheet, DS1245Y-85 pinout, DS1245Y-85 application, or DS1245Y-85 equivalent, key selection criteria include its self-contained battery-backed architecture, guaranteed 10-year data retention, 70 ns timing, industrial temperature rating (-40°C to +85°C), and direct drop-in compatibility with standard 128k×8 SRAM sockets.
Technical Context
The DS1245Y-85 integrates SRAM, lithium energy source, and voltage-monitoring control circuitry in one monolithic DIP package. Its power-fail detection triggers automatic switch to battery backup when VCC drops below 4.25 V, disabling all inputs and placing outputs in high-impedance state.
It operates as a fully static, byte-wide parallel memory with standard CE/OE/WE control logic and 17 address lines (A0–A16). No external support circuitry is required for microprocessor interfacing, and it supports unlimited write cycles without wear leveling or erase overhead.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1024 kbit (131,072 × 8) - provides full byte-accessible nonvolatile storage matching legacy 128k×8 SRAM footprint |
| Access Time | 70 ns - ensures compatibility with 14 MHz bus systems and eliminates wait states in most 8/16-bit microcontrollers |
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V (±10%) - supports wide-input industrial power rails without regulation |
| Data Retention | ≥10 years without power - enabled by internal lithium cell and freshness seal disconnect until first power-up |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C (IND grade) - qualified for uncontrolled industrial environments including factory automation and metering |
| Write Protection Threshold | 4.25 V - initiates automatic write lock and battery switchover before critical logic-level failure |
| Package | 32-pin JEDEC 740-mil Extended DIP - direct socket replacement for existing 32-pin SRAM designs |
Pinout & Package
DS1245Y-85 uses a JEDEC-standard 32-pin 740-mil Extended Dual In-line Package (EDIP) with integrated lithium battery and control circuitry. The package is wave-solderable only (not reflow-compatible).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 131,072-word addressing; TTL-compatible inputs |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; high-impedance on deselect or power-down |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; controls device activation and write-protection entry timing |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; combined with CE to define write cycle start/stop |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output enable; allows read data gating independent of CE |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply input; powers SRAM core and monitoring circuitry; battery disconnects until first valid VCC |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal circuitry |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded pins (pins 1, 2, 3, 33, 34); no internal connection or function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Power-Fail Response | Switches to lithium backup and locks writes within 1.5 µs of VCC falling below 4.25 V - prevents corruption during brownout or sudden shutdown |
| Freshness Seal | Lithium cell remains electrically disconnected until first VCC > 4.25 V - guarantees full 10-year retention capacity at installation |
| Unlimited Write Cycles | No endurance limit - eliminates wear-out concerns in high-frequency logging or configuration storage applications |
| Full ±10% VCC Operation | Functional across 4.5 V–5.5 V - removes need for tight-regulation LDOs in cost-sensitive industrial designs |
| Standard Pinout Compatibility | JEDEC 32-pin DIP layout matches 128k×8 SRAMs - enables drop-in replacement without PCB revision |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1245AB-70IND+ | Narrower VCC tolerance (±5%, 4.75–5.25 V); same 70 ns speed, -40°C to +85°C rating, and 32-pin DIP | Requires tighter regulated 5 V supply; preferred where power rail stability is assured and higher noise immunity is needed | Select DS1245AB-70IND+ if system uses precision 5 V regulation and demands stricter VCC noise margin over DS1245Y-85's wider range |
| STK12C68-AW50I | Same 1024k size, 50 ns access, -40°C to +85°C, but uses external capacitor-based backup (no integrated lithium) | Lacks guaranteed 10-year retention; requires external capacitor charging circuit and periodic refresh supervision | Choose STK12C68-AW50I only if design already includes capacitor backup infrastructure and lower BOM cost outweighs retention reliability |
Compared with DS1245AB-70IND+, DS1245Y-85 trades tighter VCC tolerance for broader supply flexibility; compared with STK12C68-AW50I, it delivers superior long-term data integrity via integrated lithium and automatic power-fail response - eliminating external backup components and qualification risk.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1245Y-85?
The DS1245Y-85 guarantees ≥10 years of data retention in the absence of external power, measured from the time VCC is first applied and the internal lithium energy source is activated. This specification is ensured by component selection, process control, and design - not production-tested per unit, but statistically assured across the manufacturing lot.
Does DS1245Y-85 require external circuitry for battery backup operation?
No, DS1245Y-85 requires no external circuitry for battery backup operation. It integrates a lithium energy source, voltage-monitoring logic, and power-switching circuitry into the 32-pin DIP package. The "freshness seal" keeps the battery disconnected until first power-up, and automatic switchover occurs below 4.25 V without user intervention.
Is DS1245Y-85 compatible with standard 128k×8 SRAM sockets?
Yes, DS1245Y-85 uses a JEDEC-standard 32-pin 740-mil Extended DIP package with pinout identical to industry-standard 128k×8 SRAMs. It supports the same address (A0–A16), data (DQ0–DQ7), and control (CE/OE/WE) signals - enabling true drop-in replacement without PCB or firmware modification.
What is the operating temperature range specified for DS1245Y-85?
The DS1245Y-85 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C, as indicated by the "IND" suffix in its full ordering code (e.g., DS1245Y-70IND+). All DC and AC electrical specifications, including 70 ns access time and write protection threshold, are guaranteed across this full range.
How does DS1245Y-85 handle power-down and power-up transitions?
During power-down, DS1245Y-85 detects VCC decay below 4.25 V within 1.5 µs, disables all inputs, places outputs in high-impedance, and switches to lithium backup. At power-up, it reconnects VCC to the SRAM core once VCC exceeds ~3.0 V and exits write protection after 125 ms - ensuring clean, corruption-free resumption of normal operation.
