Product details
Overview
DS1249Y-85# 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 industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C). It autonomously enables battery backup below ~3.0V and protects data during power loss in embedded systems requiring persistent memory without external support circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the DS1249Y-85# datasheet, DS1249Y-85# pinout, DS1249Y-85# application, or DS1249Y-85# equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 10-year data retention without power, unlimited write cycles, JEDEC-standard 32-pin extended DIP package, VTP = 4.25V–4.5V write-protection threshold, and compatibility with standard SRAM bus timing.
Technical Context
The DS1249Y-85# integrates on-die lithium battery and voltage-monitoring circuitry that triggers automatic write protection and seamless switchover to battery power when VCC falls below 4.25V (VTP) and disconnects the battery until first power application. Its full CMOS interface supports standard microprocessor bus protocols with CE/OE/WE control logic and no external components required for NV operation.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C with ±10% VCC tolerance (4.5V–5.5V), delivers tACC = 70 ns and tWC = 70 ns, and maintains high-impedance outputs during power transition events per tPD = 1.5 µs fail-detect latency and tREC = 125 ms recovery after VCC restoration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2,097,152-bit (262,144 × 8) - provides byte-addressable nonvolatile storage compatible with 8-bit data buses. |
| Access Time | 70 ns - ensures compatibility with legacy microprocessors and controllers running at ≤14 MHz bus speeds. |
| VCC Range | 4.5V to 5.5V (±10%) - supports wide-input power rails without regulation, reducing BOM count in industrial designs. |
| Data Retention | 10 years without power - enabled by sealed lithium cell and automatic switchover at ~3.0V, eliminating need for external backup capacitors or batteries. |
| Write Protection Threshold | VTP = 4.25V–4.5V - initiates unconditional write lock before VCC drops to levels risking SRAM corruption. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation, metering, and transportation control systems. |
| Package | 32-pin 740-mil extended DIP - enables through-hole mounting and direct replacement of legacy SRAMs in existing PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
DS1249Y-85# uses a JEDEC-standard 32-pin extended dual in-line package (EDIP), 740 mil width, with lead finish compliant with 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 VIH ≥ 2.2V. |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; high-impedance when CE or OE inactive; drives 1 TTL load. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low for read/write; controls internal power state and write-enable arbitration. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge initiates write cycle; output drivers disabled if OE active during write. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; enables data drivers only during reads; high during writes prevents bus contention. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply input; monitored continuously for voltage decay; powers RAM core and control logic. |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal circuitry; requires low-impedance connection. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 16 is unconnected internally; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout best practices. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Lithium energy source with freshness seal | Battery remains electrically disconnected until first VCC application > VTP, preserving full 10-year capacity and eliminating shelf-life degradation. |
| Automatic power-fail detection and switchover | On-chip comparator triggers battery backup within 1.5 µs when VCC drops below ~3.0V, preventing data loss during brownouts. |
| Unlimited write cycles | No endurance limit on SRAM core - eliminates wear-leveling firmware and enables frequent configuration or log updates. |
| Full ±10% VCC operation | Operates reliably from 4.5V to 5.5V without external regulators, simplifying power design in noisy or variable-supply environments. |
| Industrial temperature qualification | Guaranteed functionality and timing compliance over –40°C to +85°C, validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108. |

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# | ±5% VCC tolerance (4.75V–5.25V); higher VTP = 4.50V–4.75V; identical package and speed. | Requires tighter-regulated 5V supply; better suited for systems with stable regulated rails and stricter voltage-margin requirements. | Select DS1249AB-70IND# when VCC regulation is precise and write-protection margin above 4.5V is preferred. |
| STK12C68-E25I | Same 2048k size and 32-pin DIP; 25 ns access time; lithium-backed; but rated only for –40°C to +70°C (not +85°C). | Lacks full industrial +85°C rating; lower tACC enables faster bus timing but reduces thermal margin in enclosed enclosures. | Choose STK12C68-E25I only if ambient temperature stays ≤+70°C and sub-70 ns timing is critical for host controller compatibility. |
Compared with DS1249AB-70IND#, DS1249Y-85# trades tighter VCC tolerance for wider supply flexibility and lower VTP, while STK12C68-E25I offers faster access but sacrifices the +85°C operating ceiling essential for sealed industrial housings.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1249Y-85# without external power?
The DS1249Y-85# guarantees 10 years of data retention in the absence of external power, based on built-in lithium cell capacity, hermetic sealing, and process-controlled aging characteristics. This specification applies from the moment VCC is first applied and accumulates only during actual power-off periods - not shelf time prior to first use. The DS1249Y-85# achieves this without requiring external capacitors or battery management circuitry.
Does DS1249Y-85# require external circuitry to enable nonvolatile operation?
No, the DS1249Y-85# requires no external components for nonvolatile operation. Its integrated lithium energy source, voltage monitor, and power-switching circuitry automatically manage backup activation, write protection, and data retention. The DS1249Y-85# connects directly to a standard 8-bit microprocessor bus using only CE, OE, WE, address, and data lines - no glue logic, supervisors, or charge pumps needed.
What is the write-protection trigger voltage (VTP) for DS1249Y-85#?
The DS1249Y-85# asserts unconditional write protection when VCC falls within the range of 4.25V to 4.5V (VTP). This threshold is factory-trimmed and specified under DC electrical characteristics. Below this level, all inputs become "don't care," outputs go high-impedance, and the lithium source engages to maintain RAM contents - ensuring data integrity even during gradual brownouts.
Is DS1249Y-85# compatible with standard 32-pin DIP sockets used for conventional SRAMs?
Yes, the DS1249Y-85# uses a JEDEC-standard 32-pin extended DIP (740-mil width) footprint identical to legacy volatile SRAMs like the HM62256 or IS61LV25616. Pinout matches industry-standard parallel SRAM interfaces - A0–A17, DQ0–DQ7, CE, OE, WE, VCC, GND - enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs without PCB modification.
How does DS1249Y-85# behave during power-up and power-down transitions?
During power-down, the DS1249Y-85# detects VCC decay within 1.5 µs (tPD) and switches to lithium backup when VCC reaches ~3.0V. During power-up, it reconnects VCC to the RAM core and isolates the battery once VCC exceeds ~3.0V, resuming full operation after VCC stabilizes above 4.5V. The DS1249Y-85# enforces tREC = 125 ms recovery before accepting new commands to ensure internal state consistency.
