Product details
Overview
DS1249Y-70IND# 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 operation (4.5V–5.5V), industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and integrated lithium battery backup for 10-year data retention without external power. It serves as drop-in SRAM replacement in mission-critical memory hold applications during power loss.
For engineers reviewing the DS1249Y-70IND# datasheet, DS1249Y-70IND# pinout, DS1249Y-70IND# application, or DS1249Y-70IND# equivalent, key selection factors include guaranteed 10-year data retention, automatic write protection at VTP = 4.25V–4.5V, JEDEC-standard 32-pin 740-mil extended DIP package, and compatibility with standard microprocessor bus timing.
Technical Context
The DS1249Y-70IND# implements fully static NV SRAM architecture with on-chip voltage monitoring and lithium power switching circuitry that activates below ~3.0V to maintain data integrity. Its control logic enforces unconditional write protection when VCC falls outside tolerance, forcing all inputs to "don't care" and outputs to high-impedance.
It supports standard asynchronous parallel interface timing: tACC = 70 ns, tWC = 70 ns, tOE = 35 ns, and operates across full ±10% VCC (4.5V–5.5V) with write-protection threshold VTP = 4.25V (min) to 4.5V (max), validated over –40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2,097,152 bits (262,144 × 8) - provides byte-wide addressing for legacy microprocessor systems without external data-width conversion. |
| Access Time | 70 ns - enables direct interface with 14 MHz bus clocks and meets timing margins for Intel 80C86/80C88 and Motorola 68000 families. |
| VCC Range | 4.5V to 5.5V (±10%) - accommodates wide-input power rails in industrial power supplies without regulation overhead. |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without external power - achieved via sealed lithium cell and automatic switchover at ~3.0V, eliminating need for external backup capacitors or batteries. |
| Write Protection Threshold | VTP = 4.25V (min) to 4.5V (max) - triggers unconditional write lock before system brownout corrupts memory writes. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for deployment in uncontrolled industrial enclosures, transportation control units, and energy metering hardware. |
| Package | 32-pin 740-mil extended DIP (MDT32#7) - compatible with through-hole PCB assembly and legacy socketed memory designs. |
Pinout & Package
DS1249Y-70IND# uses a JEDEC-standard 32-pin Extended Dual In-line Package (EDIP), 740 mil width, with lead finish compliant to RoHS exemption criteria. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; pins are arranged in two rows with A0–A17, DQ0–DQ7, CE, WE, OE, VCC, GND, and NC terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 262,144-word decoding; TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.2V). |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus with 2.0 mA sink / –1.0 mA source drive; high-impedance state enforced during write or deselection. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with WE low to initiate write; forces high-Z output if deasserted during read. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; controls data latching and disables outputs when asserted during read to prevent bus contention. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output enable; allows read data to appear only when CE and OE are both low; high during write prevents driver conflict. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply pin; powers SRAM core and control logic; monitored continuously for VTP violation and automatic backup activation. |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal lithium switch circuitry; requires low-inductance connection for reliable power-down detection. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 16 is unconnected internally; must remain floating or tied to ground per layout guidelines to avoid noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Power-Fail Write Protection | Hardware-enforced lockout triggered at VTP = 4.25V–4.5V, eliminating firmware dependency and guaranteeing data integrity during brownout. |
| Lithium Energy Source Freshness Seal | Factory-disconnected Li cell ensures full 10-year retention capacity; activated only on first VCC application above VTP, preventing shelf-life degradation. |
| Unlimited Write Cycles | No endurance limit on SRAM core - supports continuous logging, configuration storage, and real-time data buffering without wear leveling. |
| Low-Power CMOS Operation | Standby current as low as 100 µA (ICCS2) and operating current 85 mA - reduces thermal load in sealed industrial housings. |
| Full ±10% VCC Tolerance | Operates across 4.5V–5.5V without external regulators - simplifies power design in variable-input environments like solar-powered telemetry nodes. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1248Y-70IND# | 1024k density (131,072 × 8), same 70 ns speed, identical VCC range and industrial temp grade. | Half the memory capacity; suitable where firmware/config footprint fits within 128 KB. | Select when board space or BOM cost reduction outweighs need for 256 KB memory map. |
| STK12C68-E6F | 2048k NV SRAM, 70 ns access, but ±5% VCC (4.75V–5.25V) and commercial temp only (0°C to +70°C). | Lacks industrial temperature qualification and wider VCC tolerance; no freshness seal guarantee. | Acceptable for benign environments with stable regulated 5V supplies; not recommended for field-deployed industrial equipment. |
Compared with DS1249Y-70IND#, DS1248Y-70IND# offers identical reliability and interface but reduced density, while STK12C68-E6F trades industrial qualification and voltage flexibility for lower unit cost in controlled lab or benchtop systems.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1249Y-70IND# under zero-power conditions?
The DS1249Y-70IND# guarantees a minimum 10-year data retention period when powered off, based on built-in lithium cell capacity, hermetic sealing, and automatic power-switching circuitry. This value is assured by component selection and process control-not production-tested per unit-but applies cumulatively from first VCC application onward.
Does DS1249Y-70IND# require external circuitry to manage battery backup or write protection?
No, DS1249Y-70IND# requires no external components for backup operation or write protection. Its integrated control circuitry monitors VCC continuously, switches to lithium power below ~3.0V, and enforces unconditional write lock at VTP = 4.25V–4.5V-eliminating need for supervisor ICs, diodes, or capacitors.
What is the meaning of "IND" in DS1249Y-70IND# and how does it affect operation?
The "IND" suffix in DS1249Y-70IND# denotes qualification for the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), with all DC and AC specifications-including tACC, VTP, and standby current-guaranteed across this full range. It also confirms RoHS compliance with applicable exemptions.
Can DS1249Y-70IND# be used as a direct replacement for standard 256 KB SRAMs like the AS6C4008?
Yes, DS1249Y-70IND# is pin-compatible and functionally equivalent to standard 262,144 × 8 SRAMs such as the AS6C4008 in read/write timing and bus interface, but adds nonvolatility and automatic write protection. No PCB changes are required, though VCC tolerance (±10%) and industrial temp rating exceed those of commodity SRAMs.
How does the "Freshness Seal" mechanism work in DS1249Y-70IND#?
The DS1249Y-70IND# ships with its internal lithium cell electrically disconnected. On first application of VCC > VTP, an on-chip switch permanently connects the cell, preserving full energy capacity for the full 10-year retention window-preventing self-discharge during storage or distribution.
