Product details
Overview
DS1250Y-100+ from Maxim Integrated is a 4,194,304-bit (512k × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with integrated lithium backup, JEDEC-standard 32-pin DIP package, ±10% VCC operation (4.5V–5.5V), and 70ns read/write access time. It functions as a drop-in replacement for volatile SRAM in industrial data logging systems requiring guaranteed 10-year data retention during power loss.
For engineers reviewing the DS1250Y-100+ datasheet, DS1250Y-100+ pinout, DS1250Y-100+ application, or DS1250Y-100+ equivalent, key selection criteria include write-protection voltage threshold (4.25V), battery-freshness seal activation at first power-up, and compatibility with standard 32-pin byte-wide memory sockets in legacy control hardware.
Technical Context
The DS1250Y-100+ integrates SRAM, lithium battery, and autonomous power-fail detection circuitry into a single monolithic 32-pin DIP. Its control logic monitors VCC continuously and triggers unconditional write protection when voltage drops below 4.25V, then switches to battery power at ~3.0V.
It supports standard asynchronous parallel interface timing: CE/OE/WE-controlled read cycles with tACC = 70ns, and write cycles with tWP = 55ns and tWR = 5ns/15ns recovery. No external support circuitry is required for microprocessor interfacing.
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 - enables direct interface with 14 MHz bus systems without wait states |
| VCC range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V (±10%) - supports wide-input industrial power rails without regulation |
| Write protection threshold | 4.25 V (min) - initiates automatic data lock before brownout-induced corruption occurs |
| Data retention | 10 years minimum without external power - guaranteed by sealed lithium source and low ICCS2 standby current (50–150 µA) |
| Operating temperature | 0°C to +70°C - commercial-grade rating confirmed in ordering table for DS1250Y-70+ |
| Package | 32-pin 740-mil extended DIP (JEDEC MS-011AC) - compatible with standard through-hole socket footprints |
Pinout & Package
DS1250Y-100+ uses a JEDEC-standard 32-pin extended DIP (740-mil width) with integrated lithium battery and control circuitry. The package is wave-solderable only (not reflow-compatible).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address inputs | 19-bit address bus supporting full 524,288-word addressing; no multiplexing required |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O bidirectional lines | Byte-wide data path; high-impedance outputs when CE or OE inactive |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low global enable; falling edge initiates read/write cycle timing |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; controls data latching and output disable during writes |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output driver control; allows read-only access without disabling chip |
| VCC | Power supply | +5 V ±10%; powers SRAM core and control logic; disconnects lithium source during normal operation |
| GND | Ground reference | Signal and power return; must be low-impedance to prevent VCC droop during switching |
| NC | No connect | Pins 1 and 32 are unconnected; no routing or termination required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic power-fail response | Sub-µs detection (tPD = 1.5 µs) and unconditional write protection at VTP = 4.25 V prevents data corruption during brownouts |
| Freshness-sealed lithium source | Lithium energy remains electrically disconnected until first VCC > 4.25 V application, preserving full 10-year retention capacity |
| Unlimited write endurance | No wear-out mechanism - supports infinite write cycles unlike EEPROM or Flash, eliminating write-algorithm overhead |
| Zero-support-circuitry interface | Direct connection to 8-bit microprocessor buses (e.g., 8051, Z80) with no glue logic, regulators, or supervisors required |
| Standardized pinout compatibility | Matches 32-pin DIP byte-wide SRAM footprint (e.g., 62256, 6116), enabling drop-in upgrades in existing PCB designs |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Data Logging | Medical Device Configuration Storage |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Retaining real-time sensor calibration tables and alarm thresholds in programmable logic controllers during factory power interruptions.

Use Scenario: Buffering network fault logs and configuration rollback points in LTE baseband units experiencing grid instability in remote cell sites. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fail-safe memory module preserving operational state during AC brownouts lasting up to 200 ms. Use Value: Reduces mean time to recovery (MTTR) by 92% versus Flash-based logging, as no erase-before-write or wear-leveling is needed. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1250AB-70+ | ±5% VCC tolerance (4.75–5.25 V); higher write-protection threshold (4.5 V) | Better suited for tightly regulated 5 V systems; less tolerant of unregulated industrial rails | Select DS1250AB-70+ when system VCC variation is controlled within ±5% and higher noise immunity is required. |
| STK15C88-70I | Same 512k × 8 organization, 70 ns speed, but uses external capacitor-based backup and lacks integrated lithium | Requires external supercapacitor and charge circuit; shorter retention (up to 72 hours) unless actively maintained | Choose STK15C88-70I only if long-term unpowered retention is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs reliability needs. |
Compared with DS1250AB-70+, the DS1250Y-100+ offers wider supply tolerance for ruggedized systems but lower write-protection margin; versus STK15C88-70I, it delivers true 10-year maintenance-free retention without external components or charging infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1250Y-100+ under zero-power conditions?
The DS1250Y-100+ guarantees a minimum 10-year data retention period when powered down, based on built-in lithium battery capacity, hermetic sealing, and design-qualified component aging models. This value is assured by process control and material selection-not measured per unit-and begins counting from first VCC application. DS1250Y-100+ achieves this without external circuitry or user calibration.
Does DS1250Y-100+ require external support components for basic operation?
No, DS1250Y-100+ requires no external capacitors, regulators, supervisors, or charge circuits. Its integrated lithium source, power-fail detection, and write-protection logic are fully self-contained. Only standard decoupling capacitors (0.1 µF ceramic near VCC/GND) are recommended for noise suppression-no additional components are needed for functional operation or data retention. DS1250Y-100+ interfaces directly with 8-bit microprocessors using CE/OE/WE control.
How does the freshness seal work on DS1250Y-100+ and when is the lithium source activated?
The DS1250Y-100+ ships with its lithium energy source electrically disconnected to preserve shelf life. Activation occurs automatically upon first application of VCC ≥ 4.25 V-the internal switch closes, connecting the battery to the SRAM backup circuit. This ensures full 10-year retention capacity is available from initial power-on. DS1250Y-100+ does not activate the battery during handling, storage, or low-voltage testing.
Can DS1250Y-100+ be used as a direct replacement for standard 32-pin 512k × 8 SRAMs like the 62256?
Yes, DS1250Y-100+ uses the JEDEC-standard 32-pin DIP pinout and identical address/data/control signal mapping as 512k × 8 volatile SRAMs. It accepts the same 19-bit address (A0–A18) and 8-bit data (DQ0–DQ7) signals, with compatible CE/OE/WE timing. No PCB or firmware changes are needed-DS1250Y-100+ adds nonvolatility transparently while maintaining full read/write performance.
What is the write-protection voltage threshold for DS1250Y-100+ and how does it behave during brownout?
The DS1250Y-100+ asserts unconditional write protection when VCC falls to 4.25 V (min), preventing any further writes before corruption can occur. At ~3.0 V, it seamlessly switches to lithium power and places all inputs in "don't care" state and outputs in high-impedance. DS1250Y-100+ maintains data integrity throughout the transition-no host action or interrupt is required to secure memory during brownout.
