Product details
Overview
DS1250YP-70IND from Maxim Integrated is a 4,194,304-bit (524,288 × 8) nonvolatile SRAM with lithium backup, 70ns access time, ±10% VCC tolerance (4.5V–5.5V), and industrial temperature rating (–40°C to +85°C). It replaces volatile 512k×8 SRAMs in mission-critical data logging systems where power loss protection is essential.
For engineers reviewing the DS1250YP-70IND datasheet, DS1250YP-70IND pinout, DS1250YP-70IND application, or DS1250YP-70IND equivalent, key selection factors include its automatic write-protection threshold at 4.25V, 10-year data retention without external power, JEDEC-standard 32-pin DIP-compatible footprint in PowerCap Module form, and direct microprocessor interface without support circuitry.
Technical Context
The DS1250YP-70IND integrates static RAM, lithium battery, and voltage-monitoring control circuitry into a single surface-mountable PowerCap Module (34-pin PCM). Its power-fail detection triggers within 1.5µs when VCC drops below 4.25V, switching to battery backup and enabling unconditional write protection.
It operates in three distinct modes: normal read/write (VCC ≥ 4.5V), data retention (VCC < 3.0V, lithium active), and transitional power-up/down (3.0V ≤ VCC < 4.5V). All 19 address lines (A0–A18) and 8 bidirectional data lines (DQ0–DQ7) remain functional across modes, with CE, WE, and OE controlling cycle timing per JEDEC SRAM protocol.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 4,194,304 bits (524,288 × 8), directly replaces 512k×8 SRAMs without address decoding changes |
| Access Time | 70 ns - guarantees full-speed compatibility with 14 MHz bus systems using standard SRAM timing |
| VCC Range | 4.5V to 5.5V (±10%) - supports wide-input industrial power rails without regulation overhead |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without external power - enabled by factory-sealed lithium cell disconnected until first power-on |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, avionics black boxes, and remote telemetry hardware |
| Write Cycles | Unlimited - eliminates wear-out concerns in high-frequency logging or configuration storage applications |
| Package Type | 34-pin PowerCap Module (PCM) - enables reflow soldering of module base before snap-on DS9034PCI+ battery attachment |
Pinout & Package
DS1250YP-70IND uses a 34-pin PowerCap Module (PCM) package with standardized pinout for nonvolatile SRAMs. The module base is surface-mountable; the lithium backup battery is added post-reflow via a keyed snap-on DS9034PCI+ PowerCap.
| 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 | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus; high-impedance during write cycles when OE is high to prevent bus contention |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with WE low to initiate write; controls output enable timing (tCO = 70 ns) |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge (with CE low) defines write start; tWP = 55 ns minimum pulse width |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; high during writes to maintain high-Z outputs; tOE = 35 ns access to valid data |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply input; monitored continuously for out-of-tolerance condition triggering automatic backup switchover |
| GND | Ground | Signal and power reference plane; two dedicated pins (pins 17 and 32) reduce ground bounce in high-speed operation |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 1 and 33 are unconnected; no internal bonding or function - must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Power-Fail Response | Switches to lithium backup and enables write protection within 1.5 µs of VCC dropping below 4.25V - prevents corruption during brownouts |
| Freshness Seal | Lithium cell electrically disconnected until first VCC application >4.25V - ensures full 10-year retention capacity at installation |
| JEDEC-Compatible Interface | Standard SRAM timing (tRC = 70 ns, tWC = 70 ns) and pinout - drop-in replacement for existing 32-pin DIP designs using adapter PCB or socket |
| Industrial Temperature Support | Full functionality and data retention validated from –40°C to +85°C - suitable for outdoor infrastructure and factory-floor equipment |
| Zero External Support Circuitry | Integrated voltage monitor, switch, and backup management - eliminates discrete diodes, regulators, or capacitors required by external battery solutions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1250Y-70IND+ | Same 524,288×8 organization, 70ns speed, and –40°C to +85°C rating, but uses 32-pin EDIP package instead of PCM | Requires wave/hand soldering only; not reflow-compatible; no snap-on battery - lithium integrated permanently | Select DS1250Y-70IND+ for through-hole legacy designs or where board space permits full DIP footprint |
| STK15C88-70I | 512k×8 nvSRAM with 70ns access, but uses external capacitor-based backup and lacks integrated lithium; max retention ~1 month at +25°C | Suitable only for short-duration hold-up; requires external 0.1F supercapacitor and charge circuitry | Select STK15C88-70I only if cost sensitivity outweighs retention requirement and board area allows capacitor placement |
Compared with DS1250Y-70IND+, the DS1250YP-70IND offers reflow-solderable assembly and field-replaceable battery via DS9034PCI+, while STK15C88-70I trades guaranteed 10-year retention for lower BOM cost and simpler sourcing - making DS1250YP-70IND optimal for long-life, maintenance-free deployments.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1250YP-70IND?
The DS1250YP-70IND guarantees a minimum of 10 years of data retention in the absence of external power, measured from the time VCC is first applied above 4.25V. This specification is assured by component selection, process control, and design - not production-tested per unit - and applies across the full –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Does DS1250YP-70IND require external support components for battery backup operation?
No, the DS1250YP-70IND requires no external support components. Its integrated lithium energy source, voltage monitor, and power-switching circuitry operate autonomously. The DS9034PCI+ PowerCap snaps onto the module base after reflow soldering, completing the nonvolatile system without discrete diodes, regulators, or capacitors.
Can DS1250YP-70IND be used as a direct replacement for standard 512k×8 SRAMs?
Yes, the DS1250YP-70IND provides pin-compatible read/write timing (tACC = 70 ns, tRC = 70 ns) and identical 524,288×8 organization to industry-standard 512k×8 SRAMs. Its CE/WE/OE interface follows JEDEC SRAM protocols, allowing drop-in replacement in existing designs - though the 34-pin PCM footprint requires adapter layout or socket conversion from 32-pin DIP.
What is the write protection voltage threshold for DS1250YP-70IND?
The DS1250YP-70IND uses the DS1250Y variant's write protection threshold: it unconditionally enables write protection when VCC falls below 4.25V (typical 4.37V, max 4.5V). This threshold is factory-trimmed and remains stable over temperature and lifetime, ensuring reliable data safeguarding during brownouts.
Is the lithium battery in DS1250YP-70IND replaceable in the field?
Yes, the lithium battery is replaceable via the DS9034PCI+ PowerCap, which snaps onto the DS1250YP-70IND module base using a keyed mechanical interface. Detachment is performed with a standard screwdriver using the built-in release feature - enabling field-level battery renewal without desoldering or module replacement.
