Product details
Overview
DS1250YP-70+ from Maxim Integrated is a 4,194,304-bit (512k × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with integrated lithium backup, 70ns read/write access time, ±10% VCC tolerance (4.5V–5.5V), and JEDEC-standard 34-pin PowerCap Module (PCM) package. It replaces volatile SRAM in mission-critical data logging systems where power loss must not corrupt memory.
For engineers reviewing the DS1250YP-70+ datasheet, DS1250YP-70+ pinout, DS1250YP-70+ application, or DS1250YP-70+ equivalent, key selection criteria include battery-backed write protection voltage (4.25V), industrial-grade temperature support (–40°C to +85°C option), PCM surface-mount compatibility, and guaranteed 10-year data retention without external circuitry.
Technical Context
The DS1250YP-70+ integrates SRAM, lithium energy source, and autonomous power-fail detection logic into a single module base. Its control circuitry monitors VCC continuously and triggers automatic write protection when voltage drops below 4.25V, then switches to battery power at ~3.0V.
It operates as a byte-wide parallel memory with standard microprocessor interface timing: CE/WE/OE control, 19 address lines (A0–A18), and 8 bidirectional data lines (DQ0–DQ7). No external support components are required for nonvolatile operation or microcontroller interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 4,194,304 bits (524,288 × 8), directly replaces 512k × 8 volatile SRAMs 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 and brown-out resilience |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without external power - verified by component-level design and process control, not production-tested |
| Write Protection Threshold | 4.25 V - initiates automatic write disable and high-Z outputs before critical logic threshold violation |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C (standard); –40°C to +85°C available with IND suffix - ensures reliability across commercial and extended environments |
| Package Type | 34-pin PowerCap Module (PCM) - surface-mountable base with snap-on DS9034PC+ PowerCap; avoids reflow damage to lithium cell |
Pinout & Package
DS1250YP-70+ uses a 34-pin PowerCap Module (PCM) package: surface-mountable module base with standardized pinout for nonvolatile SRAMs and mechanical interface for DS9034PC+ or DS9034PCI+ snap-on PowerCap. Lithium battery is physically separate and electrically isolated until first VCC application.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address Inputs | 19-bit address bus supporting full 524,288-word addressing; TTL-compatible inputs |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus; high-impedance during write cycles when OE = VIH |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; falling edge initiates read/write; rising edge terminates cycle |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; controls data latching; disables outputs when low during read |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output enable; high during writes prevents bus contention |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply input; powers SRAM and control logic; monitored for fail detection |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal circuitry |
| VBAT | Battery Terminal | Connects to DS9034PC+ PowerCap lithium cell; electrically disconnected until first VCC > 4.25 V |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded pins (pins 1, 2, 3, 33, 34 per PCM drawing); no internal connection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Power-Fail Response | Sub-µs detection of VCC decay below 4.25 V triggers unconditional write protection and high-Z outputs - prevents partial writes during brownout |
| Freshness Seal | Lithium cell remains electrically disconnected until first VCC application > 4.25 V - guarantees full 10-year retention capacity at installation |
| Unlimited Write Cycles | No endurance limit on write operations - eliminates wear-leveling firmware and write-cycle counters required for EEPROM/Flash |
| Standardized PCM Interface | 34-pin footprint compatible with all Maxim nonvolatile SRAM module bases - enables drop-in replacement across density grades |
| Low Standby Current | 50–150 µA (ICCS2) at VCC–0.5 V - reduces system power budget in always-on monitoring applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1250Y-70+ | Same 512k × 8 density and 70 ns speed, but in 32-pin EDIP package - requires through-hole mounting and lacks PCM modularity | Used where legacy DIP sockets exist or reflow soldering is unavailable; no snap-on PowerCap option | Select DS1250Y-70+ only if board layout prohibits surface-mount modules or requires wave-solder compatibility |
| DS1250ABP-70+ | Same PCM package and pinout, but ±5% VCC tolerance (4.75–5.25 V) and higher write-protection threshold (4.50 V) | Better suited for tightly regulated 5 V supplies; less tolerant of brownout conditions than DS1250YP-70+ | Choose DS1250ABP-70+ when system VCC ripple is < ±2.5% and deterministic power sequencing is guaranteed |
Compared with DS1250Y-70+ and DS1250ABP-70+, the DS1250YP-70+ uniquely balances wide-supply flexibility (±10%), surface-mount readiness, and robust brownout immunity - making it optimal for new designs targeting commercial temperature range with cost-sensitive power delivery.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1250YP-70+?
The DS1250YP-70+ guarantees a minimum 10-year data retention period in the absence of external power, starting from the moment VCC is first applied above 4.25 V. This value is assured by component selection, process control, and design-not measured per unit during production testing-and applies under specified storage conditions (–40°C to +85°C).
Does DS1250YP-70+ require external circuitry for battery backup operation?
No, the DS1250YP-70+ requires no external circuitry for nonvolatile operation. Its integrated control logic autonomously monitors VCC, disconnects the lithium cell until first power-up, and switches to battery power at ~3.0 V during power failure. The DS9034PC+ PowerCap snaps onto the PCM base and provides the sealed lithium source.
What is the function of the VBAT pin on DS1250YP-70+?
The VBAT pin on DS1250YP-70+ is the dedicated terminal for connecting the lithium cell inside the DS9034PC+ PowerCap. It remains electrically isolated from the SRAM until VCC exceeds 4.25 V for the first time-ensuring full battery freshness. During normal operation, VBAT carries no current; during power loss, it supplies backup power to retain data.
Can DS1250YP-70+ be used as a direct replacement for standard 512k × 8 SRAMs?
Yes, DS1250YP-70+ is pin-compatible with industry-standard 512k × 8 parallel SRAMs in its functional interface: identical A0–A18, DQ0–DQ7, CE, WE, OE, VCC, and GND signals. However, it adds VBAT and NC pins in the 34-pin PCM layout-requiring PCB footprint alignment with DS9034PC+ mounting features, not direct socket replacement.
What is the write protection voltage threshold for DS1250YP-70+?
The DS1250YP-70+ asserts unconditional write protection when VCC falls below 4.25 V (typical 4.37 V, max 4.5 V). At this threshold, all inputs become "don't care," outputs go high-impedance, and the lithium backup is prepared for activation at ~3.0 V-preventing corruption during gradual brownout conditions.
