Product details
Overview
DS1249Y-70 from Maxim Integrated is a 2048k (2,097,152-bit) nonvolatile static RAM organized as 262,144 × 8, featuring 70 ns read/write access time, ±10% VCC operating range (4.5V–5.5V), and industrial-grade temperature support (–40°C to +85°C) when ordered with IND suffix. It integrates a lithium energy source and automatic power-fail write protection for data retention without external circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the DS1249Y-70 datasheet, DS1249Y-70 pinout, DS1249Y-70 application, or DS1249Y-70 equivalent, this page delivers verified timing behavior, JEDEC-standard 32-pin DIP package details, self-contained battery backup operation, and direct microprocessor interface compatibility - critical for legacy industrial control, medical instrumentation, and metering systems requiring guaranteed 10-year data retention.
Technical Context
The DS1249Y-70 implements a fully static NV SRAM architecture with on-chip voltage monitoring and seamless lithium battery switchover at ~3.0 V. Its control logic enforces unconditional write protection during VCC decay below 4.25 V (VTP), while maintaining high-impedance outputs and "don't care" input states.
It supports standard parallel bus interfacing via CE, OE, and WE controls with tACC = 70 ns, tWC = 70 ns, and tOE = 35 ns. The device operates across full ±10% VCC tolerance and requires no external capacitors, regulators, or backup controllers - all power management is internal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2,097,152 bits (262,144 × 8) - supports byte-wide microprocessor data bus without address decoding overhead |
| Access Time | 70 ns - enables direct interface with 14 MHz bus clocks and legacy 80C86/80C186 systems |
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - accommodates unregulated 5 V rails and brown-out conditions common in industrial power supplies |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without external power - guaranteed by sealed lithium cell and automatic disconnect until first power-up |
| Write Protection Threshold | VTP = 4.25 V (min) - triggers immediate write disable and battery switchover before system-level data corruption occurs |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (IND variant) - qualified for deployment in outdoor meters, factory automation PLCs, and transportation ECUs |
| Package | 32-pin 740-mil extended DIP - compatible with through-hole PCB assembly and socket-based field-replaceable modules |
Pinout & Package
DS1249Y-70 uses a JEDEC-standard 32-pin Extended Dual In-line Package (EDIP), 740 mil width, with lead finish compliant to RoHS exemptions. Pin 1 is marked with a notch or dot; pins are numbered counter-clockwise from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 262,144-word addressing; TTL-compatible inputs with ≤2.0 µA leakage |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; outputs drive ≥2 mA at 0.4 V, high-Z when CE/OE inactive or during write |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; initiates read/write when low; forces high-Z output if deasserted mid-cycle |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; determines write start/stop edges with CE; disables outputs within 25 ns (tODW) |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; enables data drivers only during reads; must be high during writes to prevent bus contention |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply (4.5–5.5 V); powers SRAM core and control logic; disconnects lithium source during normal operation |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal switching circuits; tied to battery negative terminal |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 16 is unconnected internally; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practices - not used for thermal relief |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Power-Fail Protection | Monitors VCC continuously; switches to lithium backup and locks writes within 1.5 µs (tPD) of out-of-tolerance detection |
| Lithium Freshness Seal | Lithium cell electrically disconnected until first VCC > VTP; ensures full 10-year retention capacity at installation |
| Unlimited Write Cycles | No endurance limit - supports continuous logging, configuration updates, and real-time parameter storage without wear leveling |
| Zero-Support-Circuitry Interface | Direct connection to 8-bit microprocessors; no external regulators, capacitors, or supervisor ICs required |
| Industrial Temperature Qualification | Full functionality and timing compliance verified from –40°C to +85°C - validated for use in uncontrolled environmental enclosures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1249AB-70IND# | Narrower VCC tolerance (±5%, 4.75–5.25 V); higher VTP (4.50 V min); identical pinout, timing, and package | Better suited for regulated 5 V systems where tighter voltage stability is guaranteed; less tolerant of brownouts | Select DS1249AB-70IND# when power supply ripple is <±2% and system-level brown-out detection is already implemented |
| STK12C68-A70 | Same density and 70 ns speed; 5 V ±10% operation; but uses external capacitor for backup and lacks integrated lithium switch | Requires external 0.47 F capacitor and diode; higher board area and reliability risk due to electrolytic aging | Choose STK12C68-A70 only if lithium-free design is mandated and capacitor lifetime modeling is performed |
Compared with DS1249AB-70IND# and STK12C68-A70, the DS1249Y-70 provides broader voltage margin for unregulated supplies and eliminates external backup components - simplifying qualification for harsh-environment deployments where long-term field reliability is prioritized over component count minimization.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1249Y-70?
The DS1249Y-70 guarantees a minimum of 10 years of data retention in the absence of external power, measured from the time VCC is first applied. This is ensured by an integrated, factory-sealed lithium energy source and internal power-switching circuitry that activates automatically below ~3.0 V. The DS1249Y-70 achieves this without requiring external capacitors or supervisory ICs.
Does DS1249Y-70 require external components for battery backup operation?
No, the DS1249Y-70 requires no external components for nonvolatile operation. Its lithium energy source is electrically disconnected until first power-up, then automatically engaged during VCC failure. The DS1249Y-70 integrates all voltage monitoring, switching, and write-protection logic on-die - eliminating the need for backup capacitors, diodes, or reset supervisors.
What is the difference between DS1249Y-70 and DS1249AB-70?
The DS1249Y-70 supports ±10% VCC (4.5 V–5.5 V) and triggers write protection at 4.25 V (VTP), making it suitable for unregulated supplies. The DS1249AB-70 requires ±5% VCC (4.75 V–5.25 V) and protects at 4.50 V. Both share identical pinout, timing (70 ns), and package. The DS1249Y-70 is preferred in brown-out-prone environments.
Is DS1249Y-70 compatible with standard 8-bit microprocessors?
Yes, the DS1249Y-70 is directly compatible with 8-bit microprocessors such as the 80C86, Z80, and 68000 families. Its TTL-compatible address/data/control signals (A0–A17, DQ0–DQ7, CE, WE, OE), 70 ns access time, and no-wait-state operation enable seamless integration without glue logic. The DS1249Y-70 supports standard read/write protocols and requires no initialization sequence.
What does the "IND" suffix mean in DS1249Y-70IND#?
The "IND" suffix in DS1249Y-70IND# denotes qualification for the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C, with full electrical performance and timing compliance across that range. The DS1249Y-70IND# retains all features of the DS1249Y-70 - including ±10% VCC, 70 ns access, and 10-year retention - while extending operational reliability to extreme ambient conditions.
