Product details
Overview
DS1250AB-100IND+ from Maxim Integrated is a 4,194,304-bit (524,288 × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with lithium backup, industrial temperature rating (–40°C to +85°C), ±5% VCC tolerance (4.75V–5.25V), and 100ns access time. It replaces volatile SRAM, EEPROM, or Flash in mission-critical data logging and real-time control systems where power loss immunity is mandatory.
For engineers reviewing the DS1250AB-100IND+ datasheet, DS1250AB-100IND+ pinout, DS1250AB-100IND+ application, or DS1250AB-100IND+ equivalent, key selection criteria include write-protection voltage threshold (4.50–4.75V), battery-freshness seal behavior, PCM vs. DIP package compatibility, and industrial-grade retention timing under VCC decay.
Technical Context
The DS1250AB-100IND+ integrates self-contained lithium energy source and voltage-monitoring circuitry that triggers unconditional write protection when VCC falls below 4.50V and switches to battery power below ~3.0V. Its control logic enforces high-impedance outputs and "don't care" inputs during power-down transitions.
It operates as a byte-wide parallel memory with full static interface timing: CE/WE/OE dual-control read/write protocol, 19 address lines (A0–A18), and 8 bidirectional data lines (DQ0–DQ7). The device requires no external support circuitry for microprocessor interfacing and supports unlimited write cycles without wear leveling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 4,194,304 bits (524,288 × 8); directly substitutes 512k × 8 SRAMs in existing 32-pin DIP layouts |
| Access Time | 100 ns; guarantees deterministic read/write latency for 10 MHz bus timing budgets |
| VCC Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V (±5%); enables stable operation across noisy industrial 5V rails without regulation |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without external power; verified by component-level design and process control, not production-tested |
| Write Protection Threshold | 4.50–4.75 V (VTP); initiates automatic lockout before data corruption occurs during brownout |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (IND grade); qualified per industrial thermal cycling and storage specifications |
| Package | 32-pin 740-mil extended DIP (EDIP); JEDEC-standard footprint compatible with legacy socketed designs |
Pinout & Package
DS1250AB-100IND+ uses a JEDEC-standard 32-pin 740-mil extended DIP (EDIP) package with integrated lithium battery and nonvolatile control circuitry. No external PowerCap required - all backup functionality is self-contained within the monolithic module.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address Inputs | 19-bit address bus supporting full 524,288-word addressing; TTL-compatible input thresholds |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus; high-impedance on deselect or during write protection activation |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; combined with WE/OE to define read/write cycle boundaries and power-down entry |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge (with CE) initiates write; rising edge defines recovery timing (tWR) |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; disables drivers during writes to prevent bus contention |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply input; monitored continuously for out-of-tolerance detection and automatic backup switchover |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal battery switching circuitry |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected to avoid interference with internal voltage monitoring |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Lithium freshness seal | Energy source electrically disconnected until first VCC > 4.25V applied; ensures full 10-year retention capacity at installation |
| Automatic write protection | Unconditional lockout triggered at VTP = 4.50–4.75V; prevents partial writes during brownout without software intervention |
| Zero-cycle wear limitation | Unlimited write endurance; eliminates EEPROM/Flash wear-leveling firmware overhead and failure prediction |
| Self-contained backup power | Integrated lithium cell and analog switch eliminate external battery holders, charging ICs, or backup diodes |
| Industrial-grade reliability | Qualified over –40°C to +85°C with 150 µs VCC slew rate tolerance and UL E99151 recognition |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1250Y-100IND+ | Wider VCC range (4.5V–5.5V, ±10%), lower write-protection threshold (4.25–4.5V); identical pinout and timing | Better suited for unregulated 5V supplies with higher ripple; less margin before write lockout triggers | Select DS1250Y-100IND+ only if system VCC variation exceeds ±5% and brownout response delay is acceptable |
| STK15C88-100I | Same 512k × 8 organization and 100ns speed, but uses external capacitor-based backup; no integrated lithium | Requires external supercapacitor and charge circuit; shorter retention (72 hours typical) unless actively maintained | Choose STK15C88-100I only when long-term retention is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs reliability risk |
Compared with DS1250Y-100IND+, the DS1250AB-100IND+ offers tighter VCC regulation tolerance and earlier write protection - critical for precision brownout handling. Against STK15C88-100I, it delivers true 10-year retention without external components or maintenance, simplifying BOM and qualification.

FAQ
What is the exact memory organization of the DS1250AB-100IND+?
The DS1250AB-100IND+ is organized as 524,288 words × 8 bits (4,194,304 total bits), matching the pinout and timing of standard 512k × 8 volatile SRAMs. This allows direct drop-in replacement without address decoding changes or PCB modification. Its 19 address lines (A0–A18) and 8 bidirectional data lines (DQ0–DQ7) maintain full compatibility with legacy microprocessor buses.
Does the DS1250AB-100IND+ require external circuitry for battery backup operation?
No, the DS1250AB-100IND+ contains a fully integrated lithium energy source and analog power-switching circuitry - no external capacitors, diodes, regulators, or charge controllers are needed. The internal freshness seal disconnects the battery until first power-up at VCC > 4.25V, ensuring full 10-year retention capacity is preserved until deployment.
How does write protection activate on the DS1250AB-100IND+ during power loss?
DS1250AB-100IND+ continuously monitors VCC. When voltage drops to the write-protection threshold (VTP = 4.50–4.75V), it unconditionally disables write capability and places all inputs in "don't care" state and outputs in high-impedance. At ~3.0V, the internal switch connects the lithium source to retain data - all without host MCU involvement or external signaling.
Is the DS1250AB-100IND+ pin-compatible with the DS1250Y-100IND+?
Yes, DS1250AB-100IND+ and DS1250Y-100IND+ share identical 32-pin EDIP packaging, pin assignments, and AC/DC timing specifications. The only functional difference is VCC tolerance (±5% vs. ±10%) and corresponding write-protection voltage thresholds - both parts can be interchanged at the board level if system rail stability meets the selected variant's specification.
What is the maximum operating current of the DS1250AB-100IND+ during active read/write cycles?
The DS1250AB-100IND+ draws up to 85 mA during active operation (ICCO1), measured at VCC = 5.0V with 200 ns cycle time. Standby current is 50–150 μA when CE is held high (VCC–0.5V), making it suitable for low-power industrial systems where background memory retention must coexist with energy-constrained operation.
