Product details
Overview
DS1258Y-70 from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a 128k × 16-bit nonvolatile SRAM with integrated lithium battery backup, 70 ns access time, 5 V ±10% supply, and industrial-grade temperature support up to +85°C. It serves as a drop-in NV memory replacement in embedded controllers, data loggers, and industrial PLCs requiring persistent storage without external support circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the DS1258Y-70 datasheet, DS1258Y-70 pinout, DS1258Y-70 application, or DS1258Y-70 equivalent, key selection criteria include write-protection voltage (4.25–4.5 V), byte-selectable CEU/CEL control, 10-year data retention, and 40-pin 740-mil extended DIP package compatibility.
Technical Context
The DS1258Y-70 implements autonomous power-fail detection via continuous VCC monitoring, triggering automatic lithium switchover below ~3.0 V and unconditional write protection at VTP = 4.25–4.5 V. Its dual chip-enable architecture enables independent upper/lower byte access without external logic.
Read/write timing is governed by tACC = 70 ns, tRC = 70 ns, and tWP = 55–75 ns, with output enable (OE) and chip-enable (CEU/CEL) paths supporting overlapping or independent byte access. The device operates in three distinct modes: active read/write, standby (ICCS1 = 0.7–1.5 mA), and battery-retention (ICCS2 = 150–300 µA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 131,072 × 16-bit (128k × 16); supports full-word or byte-selectable access via CEU/CEL |
| Access Time (tACC) | 70 ns max at VCC = 5 V ±10%; ensures compatibility with 14 MHz bus systems |
| Write Protection Threshold | VTP = 4.25–4.5 V; initiates automatic data lock before VCC decay compromises integrity |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without external power; guaranteed by factory-sealed lithium source |
| Operating Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; wider tolerance than DS1258AB (±5%), enabling use in less-regulated supplies |
| Temperature Range | 0°C to +70°C standard; IND suffix adds -40°C to +85°C operation for harsh environments |
| Package | 40-pin, 740-mil extended DIP; pin-compatible with legacy 40-pin memory sockets |
Pinout & Package
DS1258Y-70 uses a 40-pin, 740-mil extended dual in-line package (DIP) with 0.100" row spacing and 0.300" body width. Pin 1 is marked with a notch or dot; pins are arranged in two parallel rows of 20.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus; selects one of 131,072 words (217) |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | Bidirectional 16-bit data bus; high-impedance when disabled |
| CEU / CEL | Chip Enable (Upper/Lower Byte) | Independent byte selection: CEU low = DQ8–DQ15 active; CEL low = DQ0–DQ7 active |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low control; initiates write cycle when CEU/CEL also low |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control; enables outputs only during read cycles |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10% main supply; powers logic and triggers lithium activation on first power-up |
| GND | Ground | Reference for all signals and internal switching circuitry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Lithium Backup | Factory-sealed energy source electrically disconnected until first VCC application-ensures full 10-year retention capacity |
| Automatic Power-Fail Response | Monitors VCC continuously; switches to battery and locks writes within microseconds of out-of-tolerance detection |
| Byte-Selectable Access | Dual CEU/CEL inputs eliminate need for external byte-enable logic or glue logic in 8-bit microprocessor interfaces |
| Unlimited Write Cycles | No endurance limit-supports continuous logging or real-time configuration updates without wear-out concerns |
| Low-Power Standby | ICCS1 = 0.7–1.5 mA (CEU/CEL = 2.2 V); ICCS2 = 150–300 µA (CEU/CEL = VCC − 0.5 V) reduces system power budget |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1258AB-70 | Narrower VCC tolerance (±5% vs. ±10%); higher write-protection threshold (4.5–4.75 V) | Better suited for tightly regulated 5 V supplies; less tolerant of brownout conditions near 4.5 V | Select DS1258AB-70 only if system VCC regulation meets ±5% and brownout risk is minimal |
| STK12C68-E | Same 128k×16 organization but uses external capacitor-based backup; no integrated lithium | Requires external 0.1 F supercapacitor and charge circuit; shorter retention (~1 month typical) | Choose STK12C68-E only when long-term retention is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs reliability needs |
Compared with DS1258AB-70 and STK12C68-E, the DS1258Y-70 provides broader supply tolerance and lower write-protection voltage-making it optimal for margin-constrained industrial power rails where early write-lock prevents corruption during gradual decay.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for the DS1258Y-70?
The DS1258Y-70 guarantees 10 years of data retention in the absence of external power, measured from the time VCC is first applied. This is ensured by a factory-sealed lithium energy source that remains electrically disconnected until initial power-up, preserving full capacity. The specification is assured through component selection, process control, and design-not production-tested per unit.
Does the DS1258Y-70 require external support circuitry for battery backup operation?
No, the DS1258Y-70 requires no external support circuitry. It integrates a lithium energy source and autonomous power-fail detection circuitry that monitors VCC continuously. When VCC drops below ~3.0 V, the internal switch connects the lithium cell to retain data; upon power-up, it seamlessly reconnects VCC and disconnects the battery-all without user intervention or external components.
How does the DS1258Y-70 differ from the DS1258AB-70 in terms of voltage tolerance?
The DS1258Y-70 operates over VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V (±10%), while the DS1258AB-70 requires VCC = 4.75 V to 5.25 V (±5%). Additionally, the DS1258Y-70 initiates write protection at 4.25–4.5 V, compared to 4.5–4.75 V for the DS1258AB-70. This makes the DS1258Y-70 more robust in brownout scenarios with slower VCC decay.
Can the DS1258Y-70 be used in industrial temperature environments?
Yes-the DS1258Y-70IND variant is rated for -40°C to +85°C operation. The base DS1258Y-70 (non-IND) is specified for 0°C to +70°C. Both share identical electrical specifications and pinout; only the temperature screening differs. Industrial qualification includes extended burn-in and parametric testing across the full range.
What is the function of CEU and CEL pins on the DS1258Y-70?
The CEU (Chip Enable Upper) and CEL (Chip Enable Lower) pins provide independent byte-select capability: CEU low enables DQ8–DQ15 (upper byte); CEL low enables DQ0–DQ7 (lower byte); both low enables full 16-bit access. This eliminates external byte-enable logic and simplifies interfacing with 8-bit microcontrollers or bus architectures requiring partial-word writes.
