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 tolerance (4.5V–5.5V), and industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C). It integrates a lithium energy source and automatic power-fail write protection for data retention without external support circuitry, used in mission-critical memory backup applications such as industrial PLCs and telecom base station configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the DS1249Y-70IND datasheet, DS1249Y-70IND pinout, DS1249Y-70IND application, or DS1249Y-70IND equivalent, key selection considerations include its self-contained battery-backed architecture, JEDEC-standard 32-pin extended DIP package, guaranteed 10-year data retention, and compatibility with standard SRAM bus protocols in legacy embedded systems requiring zero-data-loss power cycling.
Technical Context
The DS1249Y-70IND implements a fully static NV SRAM core with integrated voltage-monitoring logic that triggers automatic write protection when VCC falls below 4.25 V (VTP) and switches to lithium backup at ~3.0 V. Its control interface uses standard CE/WE/OE signals with tACC = 70 ns and tWC = 70 ns, supporting asynchronous microprocessor interfacing without wait states.
Unlike volatile SRAMs or EEPROM-based alternatives, the DS1249Y-70IND provides unlimited write cycles and eliminates wear leveling or erase latency. Its lithium cell remains electrically disconnected until first power application, preserving full capacity-ensuring 10-year data retention measured from initial VCC application under specified conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2,097,152 bits (262,144 × 8), enabling direct replacement of 256KB volatile SRAMs without address decoding changes |

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 range (4.75–5.25 V); higher VTP (4.50 V min); tighter ±5% tolerance | Better suited for regulated 5 V systems where voltage stability is guaranteed; less tolerant of rail droop | Select DS1249AB-70IND if power supply ripple is < ±2.5% and brownout risk is mitigated by upstream supervision |
| STK12C68-AW50I | 50 ns access time; 64K × 8 density; different pinout (28-pin SOIC); requires external capacitor for reset timing | Higher speed but lower density; surface-mount only; lacks integrated freshness seal and same VTP behavior | Choose STK12C68-AW50I only for space-constrained designs accepting trade-offs in retention assurance and through-hole compatibility |
Compared with DS1249AB-70IND and STK12C68-AW50I, the DS1249Y-70IND uniquely balances wide-voltage operation, industrial temperature rating, and plug-compatible DIP packaging-making it optimal for retrofitting legacy systems where power rail variation and mechanical upgrade constraints dominate selection criteria.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1249Y-70IND?
The DS1249Y-70IND guarantees a minimum 10-year data retention period in the absence of external power, measured cumulatively from the time VCC is first applied. This specification is assured by component selection, process control, and design-not production-tested per unit-and assumes operation within the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Does DS1249Y-70IND require external components for battery backup operation?
No, the DS1249Y-70IND does not require external components for battery backup operation. It integrates a lithium energy source and power-switching circuitry that automatically engages when VCC drops below ~3.0 V. The lithium cell remains disconnected until first power application, ensuring full capacity at deployment-no capacitors, diodes, or supervisors are needed.
What is the VTP threshold for write protection activation in DS1249Y-70IND?
The DS1249Y-70IND activates automatic write protection when VCC falls below VTP = 4.25 V (minimum), with typical value 4.37 V and maximum 4.50 V. This threshold ensures early lockout before brownout conditions corrupt active memory writes, and is distinct from the DS1249AB-70IND's higher 4.50 V minimum VTP.
Is DS1249Y-70IND pin-compatible with standard 32-pin SRAMs?
Yes, the DS1249Y-70IND uses a JEDEC-standard 32-pin extended DIP footprint (740-mil width) with identical pinout to industry-standard 256KB SRAMs like the AS6C4008 or IS61LV25616. Address (A0–A17), data (DQ0–DQ7), and control (CE/WE/OE/VCC/GND) assignments match conventional parallel SRAM interfaces-enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts.
How does DS1249Y-70IND handle power-up sequencing and VCC ramp rates?
During power-up, the DS1249Y-70IND requires VCC to rise above ~3.0 V before switching from lithium to external supply; full functional operation resumes once VCC exceeds 4.5 V. The device tolerates monotonic VCC ramps as slow as 150 µs (from 0 V to VTP) and imposes no minimum slew rate-supporting unregulated supplies and soft-start controllers without additional sequencing logic.
