Product details
Overview
DS1250Y-70IND from Maxim Integrated is a 4,194,304-bit (524,288 × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with lithium backup, JEDEC-standard 32-pin DIP package, ±10% VCC tolerance (4.5V–5.5V), 70ns access time, and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It replaces volatile SRAM, EEPROM, or Flash in battery-backed data logging systems requiring automatic write protection during power loss.
For engineers reviewing the DS1250Y-70IND datasheet, DS1250Y-70IND pinout, DS1250Y-70IND application, or DS1250Y-70IND equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 10-year data retention without external power, self-contained lithium energy source with freshness seal, VTP = 4.25V write-protection threshold, and compatibility with legacy 512k×8 byte-wide memory sockets.
Technical Context
The DS1250Y-70IND integrates SRAM, lithium battery, and voltage-monitoring control circuitry into a single monolithic DIP package. Its power-fail detection triggers automatic write protection when VCC drops below 4.25V, then switches to battery power at ~3.0V to maintain data integrity.
It operates as a drop-in replacement for standard 32-pin 512k×8 SRAMs, supporting full read/write cycles with tACC = 70ns, tRC = 70ns, and tWC = 70ns under VCC = 5V ±10%. All inputs become "don't care" and outputs go high-Z during data retention mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 4,194,304 bits (524,288 words × 8 bits); matches 512k×8 SRAM footprint and addressing. |
| Access Time | 70 ns; ensures timing compatibility with 14.3 MHz bus systems using standard SRAM interface logic. |
| VCC Range | 4.5V to 5.5V (±10%); supports wide-input industrial power rails without external regulation. |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without external power; enabled by sealed lithium cell and automatic VCC-monitored switchover. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C (IND grade); qualified for uncontrolled industrial environments including factory automation and remote telemetry. |
| Write Cycles | Unlimited; no wear-out mechanism-enables continuous logging without endurance management. |
| Package | 32-pin 740-mil extended DIP (JEDEC MS-001); direct socket replacement for legacy SRAM designs. |
Pinout & Package
DS1250Y-70IND uses a JEDEC-standard 32-pin extended DIP (740-mil) package with integrated lithium battery and control circuitry. No external backup components are required.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address Inputs | 19-bit address bus supporting full 524,288-word addressing; compatible with standard microprocessor address lines. |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; TTL-compatible, supports high-speed read/write without bus transceivers. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; enables memory access only when asserted-critical for multi-chip decoding. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; controls write cycle initiation and output driver disable during writes. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output enable; allows data bus sharing via three-state control independent of CE. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply input; powers SRAM core and monitoring circuitry; ±10% tolerance accommodates brownout conditions. |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal battery switching; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
| NC | No Connect | Unused pins (pins 1, 2, 3, 32); must remain unconnected-no routing or grounding permitted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Power-Fail Protection | Monitors VCC continuously; asserts unconditional write protection and switches to lithium backup within 1.5 µs of out-of-tolerance detection. |
| Freshness Seal | Lithium cell electrically disconnected until first VCC > 4.25V application-ensures full 10-year retention capacity from installation. |
| Zero External Support Circuitry | Requires no external capacitors, regulators, or supervisory ICs-reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Unlimited Write Endurance | Eliminates write-cycle counting, wear-leveling firmware, or write-delay logic in host systems. |
| Standardized Pinout | Matches industry-standard 32-pin 512k×8 SRAM layout-enables direct PCB replacement without redesign. |

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+ | Narrower VCC tolerance (±5%, 4.75V–5.25V); higher VTP = 4.50V; identical pinout, speed, and temperature rating. | Better suited for regulated 5V systems where tighter supply stability is guaranteed. | Select DS1250AB-70IND+ if system VCC variation is controlled to ±5%; otherwise DS1250Y-70IND provides wider margin. |
| STK15C88-70I | Same 512k×8 organization and 70ns speed, but uses capacitor-based backup (not lithium); 10-year retention not guaranteed; different pinout (32-pin SOJ). | Lower cost alternative where long-term retention is secondary to short-term hold-up time (e.g., <1 hour). | Choose STK15C88-70I only for cost-sensitive, short-duration backup needs-DS1250Y-70IND delivers proven 10-year retention with lithium. |
Compared with DS1250AB-70IND+, DS1250Y-70IND offers broader VCC tolerance for unregulated industrial rails, while STK15C88-70I lacks guaranteed long-term retention and requires PCB redesign due to SOJ packaging.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1250Y-70IND?
The DS1250Y-70IND guarantees a minimum 10-year data retention period in the absence of external power, measured from the time VCC is first applied and the internal lithium energy source is activated. This specification is assured through component selection, process control, and design-not production-tested per unit.
Does DS1250Y-70IND require external circuitry for battery backup operation?
No, DS1250Y-70IND requires no external circuitry for battery backup operation. It integrates a lithium energy source, voltage-monitoring control logic, and SRAM into a single 32-pin DIP package. The internal switch disconnects the battery until first power-up, ensuring full capacity retention.
What is the write-protection threshold voltage for DS1250Y-70IND?
The DS1250Y-70IND has a write-protection threshold voltage (VTP) of 4.25V (min) to 4.50V (max). When VCC falls below this range, the device automatically disables write capability and transitions to battery-backed data retention mode.
Can DS1250Y-70IND be used as a direct replacement for standard 512k×8 SRAMs?
Yes, DS1250Y-70IND uses a JEDEC-standard 32-pin 740-mil DIP package with identical pinout and timing (70ns access) to conventional 512k×8 SRAMs. It connects directly to existing sockets without PCB modification or additional support components.
What is the operating temperature range specified for DS1250Y-70IND?
The DS1250Y-70IND is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C. This range is validated across all DC and AC electrical characteristics, including access time, standby current, and write-protection behavior.
