Product details
Overview
DS1250ABP-70IND+ from Maxim Integrated is a 4,194,304-bit (512k × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with integrated lithium backup, industrial temperature rating (–40°C to +85°C), ±5% VCC tolerance (4.75V–5.25V), and 70ns read/write access time. It functions as a drop-in replacement for volatile SRAM in data-critical systems requiring guaranteed retention during power loss - such as industrial PLCs, medical data loggers, and telecom base station configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the DS1250ABP-70IND+ datasheet, DS1250ABP-70IND+ pinout, DS1250ABP-70IND+ application, or DS1250ABP-70IND+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its PowerCap Module (PCM) surface-mount form factor, automatic VCC failover timing (tPD = 1.5µs), write-protection threshold (VTP = 4.50–4.75V), and compatibility with DS9034PC+/DS9034PCI+ snap-on PowerCaps.
Technical Context
The DS1250ABP-70IND+ integrates SRAM, lithium battery switching circuitry, and voltage-monitoring logic into a single 34-pin PowerCap Module. Its control architecture continuously monitors VCC; when voltage drops below 4.5V, it unconditionally enables write protection and switches to lithium backup within 1.5µs - ensuring zero data corruption during brownout or power failure.
It operates in three distinct modes: normal read/write (VCC ≥ 4.75V), data retention (VCC < 3.0V, lithium-powered), and transitional power-down/power-up (3.0V ≤ VCC < 4.75V). All 19 address lines (A0–A18) and 8 bidirectional data lines (DQ0–DQ7) remain fully functional across modes, with no external support circuitry required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 4,194,304 bits (524,288 × 8), directly replaces 512k × 8 volatile SRAM without address decoding changes |
| Access Time | 70 ns tACC at VCC = 5V ±5%, enabling direct interface with 14 MHz microcontrollers and legacy bus systems |
| Write Protection Threshold | VTP = 4.50–4.75V; triggers unconditional write lock and high-Z outputs before VCC reaches critical data-loss levels |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum in absence of VCC, measured from first user power application - guaranteed by sealed lithium cell and low-standby ICCS2 ≤ 150 µA |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C industrial grade; validated across full range for both functional operation and retention reliability |
| Supply Tolerance | ±5% (4.75V–5.25V); tighter regulation than DS1250Y variants, supporting stable operation in noisy industrial rails |
| PowerCap Interface | 34-pin PCM package with keyed mechanical alignment; requires separate DS9034PC+ or DS9034PCI+ PowerCap for full nonvolatile function |
Pinout & Package
DS1250ABP-70IND+ uses a 34-pin PowerCap Module (PCM) package - a surface-mountable module base designed for reflow soldering prior to snap-on attachment of the DS9034PC+ PowerCap. The PCM provides standardized contacts for lithium battery connection while isolating the battery from thermal stress.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address Inputs | 19-bit address bus supporting full 524,288-word addressing; compatible with standard 8-bit microprocessor buses |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus; high-impedance during write cycles when OE is inactive to prevent bus contention |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; falling edge initiates read/write; rising edge terminates cycle; controls internal state transitions |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; combined with CE to define write start/stop; disables outputs in tODW = 25 ns on falling edge |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; enables data drivers only during reads; must be high during writes to avoid contention |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V ±5% main supply; powers SRAM core and control logic; monitored continuously for failover decisions |
| GND | Ground | Signal and power return reference; two dedicated pins (pins 17 and 32) reduce ground bounce in high-speed access |
| VBAT | Lithium Backup Input | Direct connection point to DS9034PC+ PowerCap; electrically isolated until first VCC application >4.25V |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 1, 2, 3, 33, and 34 are unassigned; no internal connection; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Power-Fail Response | Switches to lithium backup in ≤1.5 µs (tPD) upon VCC decay below VTP, eliminating need for external supervisor ICs |
| Freshness Seal | Lithium cell remains electrically disconnected until first VCC application >4.25V - preserves full 10-year retention capacity |
| Unlimited Write Cycles | No endurance limit on SRAM writes; eliminates wear-leveling firmware and erase-cycle constraints of Flash/EEPROM |
| Standardized PCM Interface | 34-pin footprint and keyed mechanical design ensure repeatable, tool-free PowerCap attachment/detachment using a screwdriver |
| Industrial Voltage Margin | Operates reliably down to 4.75V and retains data through VCC collapse to 3.0V - supports wide-input DC-DC converters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1250AB-70IND+ | 32-pin EDIP package; integrated lithium; no external PowerCap required | Suitable for through-hole or wave-soldered designs; not surface-mountable; lacks PCM modularity | Select when board assembly uses traditional DIP sockets or wave soldering, and modularity is not required. |
| STK15C88-70I | 4 Mbit nvSRAM in 32-pin SOIC; 70ns access; 5V ±10%; industrial temp; no PCM option | Surface-mount only; fixed internal battery; no field-replaceable backup element | Select when PCB space is constrained and a compact SOIC footprint is preferred over modular serviceability. |
Compared with DS1250AB-70IND+, the DS1250ABP-70IND+ offers field-serviceable lithium backup via snap-on PowerCap, while STK15C88-70I provides smaller SOIC packaging but forfeits battery replacement capability - making DS1250ABP-70IND+ optimal for long-lifecycle, maintenance-accessible deployments.

FAQ
What is the role of the DS9034PC+ PowerCap in the DS1250ABP-70IND+ system?
The DS9034PC+ PowerCap provides the lithium backup energy source for the DS1250ABP-70IND+. It snaps onto the 34-pin PCM base after reflow soldering, completing the nonvolatile function. The DS1250ABP-70IND+ itself contains only the SRAM and control logic - the DS9034PC+ supplies the battery and connects via VBAT and ground contacts. DS1250ABP-70IND+ cannot retain data without a properly attached DS9034PC+ or DS9034PCI+.
Does DS1250ABP-70IND+ require external circuitry for power-fail detection or write protection?
No. DS1250ABP-70IND+ includes fully integrated voltage monitoring and automatic write-protection logic. When VCC falls below 4.50V, it unconditionally disables writes and switches to lithium backup within 1.5 µs - no external supervisor, capacitor, or resistor network is needed. DS1250ABP-70IND+ is a self-contained nonvolatile memory solution.
How does the "Freshness Seal" affect the 10-year data retention claim for DS1250ABP-70IND+?
The Freshness Seal keeps the lithium cell electrically disconnected until the user first applies VCC > 4.25V, preserving full battery capacity. The 10-year retention period begins only after this initial power-up - not from shipment date. This ensures DS1250ABP-70IND+ delivers its rated retention even after extended shelf storage, as confirmed by Maxim's component-level qualification testing.
Can DS1250ABP-70IND+ be used in place of DS1250AB-70IND+ without PCB changes?
No. DS1250ABP-70IND+ uses a 34-pin PowerCap Module footprint, while DS1250AB-70IND+ uses a 32-pin EDIP package. Their land patterns, mounting methods (surface-mount vs. through-hole), and pinouts differ significantly. DS1250ABP-70IND+ requires dedicated PCM layout and mechanical clearance for PowerCap attachment - it is not a drop-in replacement for the DIP variant.
What is the maximum operating current of DS1250ABP-70IND+ during active read/write cycles?
The DS1250ABP-70IND+ draws up to 85 mA (ICCO1) during active read or write operations at VCC = 5V and TA = +25°C. This value is specified across the full industrial temperature range and includes worst-case dynamic current for all address/data transitions. Standby current drops to ≤150 µA (ICCS2) when CE is held high, enabling ultra-low-power retention modes.
