Product details
Overview
DS1258Y-70# from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a 128k × 16-bit nonvolatile SRAM with integrated lithium backup, 70ns access time, 5V ±10% supply, and 40-pin 740-mil extended DIP package. It provides automatic write protection during power loss, 10-year data retention without external power, and byte-selectable upper/lower word access via CEU/CEL. Used in industrial control memory buffers requiring persistent state across brownouts.
For engineers reviewing the DS1258Y-70# datasheet, DS1258Y-70# pinout, DS1258Y-70# application, or DS1258Y-70# equivalent, key selection criteria include VTP = 4.25–4.5V write-protection threshold, tACC = 70ns timing compliance, dual-byte chip-enable architecture, and RoHS-compliant 40-pin EMOD packaging for legacy board retrofits.
Technical Context
The DS1258Y-70# implements a self-contained NV-SRAM architecture with on-die lithium battery switching circuitry that activates below ~3.0V and disconnects at power-up. Its dual CEU/CEL control enables independent 8-bit byte writes without external logic, eliminating glue logic in microprocessor memory interfaces.
It operates across 0°C to +70°C with VCC = 4.5V–5.5V, features unlimited write cycles, and enforces data integrity via unconditional write protection when VCC drops below VTP (4.25–4.5V). The device requires no external support circuitry-no capacitors, regulators, or supervisory ICs-for battery-backed operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 128k × 16-bit (2,097,152 bits), organized as 131,072 words × 16 bits - supports full-word or byte-selectable access |
| Access Time (tACC) | 70 ns max at VCC = 5V ±10% - meets timing for 14.3 MHz bus interfaces without wait states |
| Write Protection Threshold (VTP) | 4.25–4.5 V - triggers automatic data lockout earlier than DS1258AB, enabling robustness in marginal 5V rails |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without external power - guaranteed by factory-fresh lithium cell disconnected until first power-on |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - accommodates wider tolerance than AB variant, simplifying power design in cost-sensitive systems |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - commercial-grade rating; IND variant required for -40°C to +85°C environments |
| Package | 40-pin, 740-mil extended DIP (EMOD) - pin-compatible with standard 40-DIP footprints but longer body for mechanical stability |
Pinout & Package
DS1258Y-70# uses a 40-pin 740-mil extended DIP (EMOD) package with 0.100" row spacing and 0.300" width. Pin 1 is marked with a notch or dot; pins are numbered counter-clockwise from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 131,072-word addressing; A16 enables full 128k×16 space |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O Bidirectional Bus | 16-bit parallel data path; high-impedance during deselect/write to prevent bus contention |
| CEU / CEL | Upper/Lower Byte Chip Enables | Independent active-low enables for DQ8–DQ15 (CEU) and DQ0–DQ7 (CEL); enables true byte-write without masking logic |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; controls write cycle initiation and output disable timing (tODW = 25–35 ns) |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low read enable; output valid within tOE = 35–50 ns after OE assertion |
| VCC / GND | Power & Ground | Single 5V supply; internal voltage monitor compares VCC against VTP to trigger lithium switchover at ~3.0V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Lithium Backup | Lithium cell electrically disconnected until first VCC application > VTP, preserving full 10-year capacity |
| Automatic Power-Fail Protection | On-die voltage monitor switches to lithium and locks writes within microseconds of VCC decay below VTP |
| Byte-Selectable Write Architecture | CEU/CEL allow independent 8-bit writes - eliminates need for external byte-lane gating or data masking logic |
| Unlimited Write Cycles | No endurance limit on SRAM core - unlike EEPROM/Flash, supports continuous logging or buffer updates |
| RoHS-Compliant Packaging | DS1258Y-70# designation confirms lead-free, halogen-free construction per JEDEC J-STD-609 |

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# | VTP = 4.50–4.75V; tighter 5% VCC tolerance (4.75–5.25V); same pinout, speed, and package | Better suited for stable 5V rails with tight regulation; less tolerant of undervoltage brownouts | Select DS1258AB-70# only if system VCC remains ≥4.75V during all operational modes |
| STK12C68-A70 | 128k×8 organization; 70ns access; 5V-only; no built-in lithium - requires external battery and switch controller | Requires external support circuitry (supervisor, MOSFET, backup battery), increasing design complexity and footprint | Choose STK12C68-A70 only when 8-bit bus interface suffices and external battery management is already present |
Compared with DS1258AB-70#, the DS1258Y-70# offers earlier write protection for marginal supplies, while STK12C68-A70 lacks integrated power management - making DS1258Y-70# the optimal choice for drop-in, low-risk replacement in legacy 16-bit NV-SRAM designs.

FAQ
What is the lithium battery lifetime specification for 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. The lithium cell is factory-disconnected until initial power-on, preserving full capacity. This retention period is assured by component selection and design-not production-tested per unit-and applies only when VCC remains below VTP for the full duration.
Does DS1258Y-70# require an external PowerCap like DS9034PC?
No, the DS1258Y-70# does not require an external PowerCap. Unlike earlier Dallas Semiconductor NV-SRAMs (e.g., DS12xx series), the DS1258Y-70# integrates all lithium switching and monitoring circuitry internally. The DS9034PC is specified only for legacy DS12xx parts and is incompatible with DS1258Y-70#.
Can DS1258Y-70# operate with VCC = 4.5V continuously?
Yes, DS1258Y-70# is fully functional at VCC = 4.5V (minimum specified), supporting read/write operations across its entire temperature range (0°C to +70°C). Its 5V ±10% tolerance allows reliable operation down to 4.5V, unlike the DS1258AB-70# which requires ≥4.75V.
Is DS1258Y-70# pin-compatible with DS1258AB-70#?
Yes, DS1258Y-70# and DS1258AB-70# share identical 40-pin EMOD packaging, pin assignments, and signal definitions. They differ only in VCC tolerance and VTP thresholds - making them direct hardware replacements where supply margin permits.
What happens to DS1258Y-70# outputs during power-down?
During power-down, when VCC falls below ~3.0V, DS1258Y-70# automatically switches to lithium power, disables all inputs (treated as "don't care"), and forces DQ0–DQ15 into high-impedance state. This prevents bus contention and ensures clean isolation from the failing system bus.
