Product details
Overview
DS1249Y-100 from Maxim Integrated is a 2048k (2,097,152-bit) nonvolatile static RAM organized as 262,144 × 8, featuring lithium-backed data retention, 70 ns read/write access time, ±10% VCC operation (4.5V–5.5V), and JEDEC-standard 32-pin extended DIP packaging. It operates as a drop-in SRAM replacement with automatic power-fail write protection in industrial and embedded memory subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1249Y-100 datasheet, DS1249Y-100 pinout, DS1249Y-100 application, or DS1249Y-100 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 10-year data retention without external power, full VCC tolerance compliance, battery-freshness seal activation on first power-up, and compatibility with standard microprocessor bus timing.
Technical Context
The DS1249Y-100 integrates a self-contained lithium energy source and voltage-monitoring circuitry that triggers unconditional write protection when VCC falls below 4.25 V, switching to battery backup at ~3.0 V. Its CMOS architecture supports unlimited write cycles and eliminates need for external support circuitry.
It implements standard asynchronous SRAM interface logic: read mode requires CE and OE low with WE high; write mode requires CE and WE low while OE is high. Address inputs A0–A17 and bidirectional data lines DQ0–DQ7 conform to JEDEC 32-pin DIP pinout, with NC on Pin 16.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2,097,152-bit (262,144 × 8) - provides byte-addressable NV SRAM capacity matching standard 256KB memory maps |
| Access Time | 70 ns - ensures compatibility with 14 MHz bus timing without wait states |
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V (±10%) - supports wide-input power rails common in legacy industrial systems |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without power - enabled by sealed lithium cell and automatic VCC monitoring |
| Write Protection Threshold | VTP = 4.25 V to 4.5 V - initiates hardware lockout before brownout-induced corruption |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - commercial-grade thermal rating per ordering code DS1249Y-100 (non-IND) |
| Package | 32-pin 740-mil extended DIP - through-hole mounting compatible with legacy PCB layouts and wave soldering |
Pinout & Package
DS1249Y-100 uses a JEDEC-standard 32-pin extended dual in-line package (EDIP), 740 mil width, with lead finish compliant to RoHS exemptions. Pin 16 is No Connect (NC); all other pins follow industry-standard SRAM interface mapping.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 262,144-word addressing; TTL/CMOS compatible |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Bidirectional Data I/O | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance during deselect or write to prevent bus contention |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be stable before address setup; controls device enable/disable state |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge initiates write cycle; disables outputs when asserted |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; enables data drivers only during read; must be high during writes |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply with ±10% tolerance; powers logic and enables lithium switch-on at first power application |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; decoupling required within 1 inch of VCC pin per layout guidelines |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 16 is unconnected internally; must remain floating or grounded per board design rules |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Lithium freshness seal | Energy source remains electrically disconnected until first VCC application > VTP, preserving full 10-year retention capacity |
| Automatic VCC monitoring | Dedicated circuitry detects decay below 4.25 V and forces write protection within 1.5 µs, preventing partial writes |
| Unlimited write endurance | No wear-out mechanism - no erase cycles or gate oxide stress; suitable for logging applications with frequent updates |
| Low-power standby | 100–150 µA ICCS2 current when CE = VCC–0.5 V - enables battery-backed operation with minimal drain |
| Full ±10% VCC range | Operates across 4.5 V–5.5 V without derating - accommodates aging supplies and line regulation drift |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STK12C68-70 | 5V ±5% VCC range (4.75–5.25 V); 10-year retention; same 32-pin DIP but no freshness seal | Lacks automatic first-power lithium activation; requires pre-charged backup cap or external supervisor for brownout response | Select when system already includes discrete voltage monitor and capacitor-based hold-up |
| DS1225Y-100 | 256k (32KB) capacity; identical VCC range, pinout, and retention; smaller footprint | Insufficient memory depth for full configuration tables or multi-channel log buffers | Select when application requires only parameter storage and board space is constrained |
Compared with STK12C68-70 and DS1225Y-100, DS1249Y-100 uniquely delivers 256KB capacity with ±10% supply tolerance and factory-sealed lithium readiness - enabling simpler, more robust designs in cost-sensitive industrial equipment where long-term data integrity is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1249Y-100 under zero-power conditions?
The DS1249Y-100 guarantees a minimum 10-year data retention period when powered off, based on component selection, process control, and design assurance - not production-tested per unit. This retention begins at first VCC application and accumulates only during absence of external power, enabled by its sealed lithium energy source and automatic VCC monitoring circuitry in the DS1249Y-100.
Does DS1249Y-100 require external circuitry to function as nonvolatile memory?
No, the DS1249Y-100 requires no external support circuitry. Its integrated lithium energy source, voltage monitor, and power-switching logic operate autonomously. The DS1249Y-100 automatically enables battery backup when VCC drops below ~3.0 V and disables it upon power restoration above 4.5 V - all without external components or firmware intervention.
What is the meaning of "Y" in DS1249Y-100 and how does it affect VCC operation?
The "Y" suffix in DS1249Y-100 denotes ±10% VCC tolerance (4.5 V to 5.5 V), distinguishing it from the "AB" variant (±5%). This wider range allows the DS1249Y-100 to operate reliably across degraded or loosely regulated 5 V supplies common in legacy industrial systems, with write protection triggered at 4.25 V instead of 4.5 V.
Can DS1249Y-100 be used in place of standard SRAMs without modifying existing PCB layouts?
Yes, the DS1249Y-100 uses a JEDEC-standard 32-pin extended DIP package with identical pinout to conventional 256KB SRAMs. Its electrical interface (A0–A17, DQ0–DQ7, CE, WE, OE, VCC, GND) matches industry norms, allowing direct replacement on existing boards - provided VCC remains within 4.5 V–5.5 V and no NC pin is actively driven.
How does the DS1249Y-100 handle simultaneous CE and WE transitions during write cycles?
The DS1249Y-100 defines write initiation by the later-occurring falling edge of CE or WE, and termination by the earlier rising edge. If CE and WE fall simultaneously, the DS1249Y-100 enters write mode; if CE rises before WE, outputs remain high-impedance. These behaviors are fully specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table and ensure deterministic bus timing under all valid signal combinations.
