Product details
Overview
DS1265AB-70IND from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is an 8M-bit nonvolatile static RAM with lithium battery backup, organized as 1,048,576 × 8, operating at 5V ±5%, with 70 ns read/write access time and industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). It provides automatic write protection during power loss and guarantees 10-year data retention without external power.
For engineers reviewing the DS1265AB-70IND datasheet, DS1265AB-70IND pinout, DS1265AB-70IND application, or DS1265AB-70IND equivalent, key selection considerations include VTP = 4.50–4.75 V write-protection threshold, 36-pin 740-mil extended DIP package, standby current ≤200 µA (CE = VCC−0.5 V), and full compatibility with standard SRAM bus protocols.
Technical Context
The DS1265AB-70IND integrates a self-contained lithium energy source and voltage-monitoring circuitry that triggers automatic switchover to battery backup when VCC falls below 4.5 V, disabling all inputs and placing outputs in high-impedance state. Its CMOS architecture supports unlimited write cycles and eliminates need for external support circuitry.
It operates in three distinct modes: normal read/write (VCC ≥ 4.75 V), write-protected standby (4.5 V ≤ VCC < 4.75 V), and battery-retention mode (VCC < ~3.0 V), with deterministic timing parameters including tACC = 70 ns, tWC = 70 ns, and tPD = 1.5 µs fail-detect latency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 8,388,608 bits (1,048,576 × 8) - directly replaces standard 1-Mbyte SRAMs with no address decoding changes |
| Access Time | 70 ns - enables direct interface with 14 MHz microprocessors without wait states |
| VCC Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V (±5%) - ensures stable operation across noisy industrial 5V rails |
| Write Protection Threshold | VTP = 4.50–4.75 V - initiates automatic data safeguarding before brownout-induced corruption |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without power - guaranteed by sealed lithium cell and internal power-switching logic |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, metering, and automotive under-hood environments |
| Standby Current | ≤200 µA (CE = VCC−0.5 V) - enables low-power retention in battery-backed systems |
Pinout & Package
DS1265AB-70IND uses a 36-pin 740-mil extended dual in-line package (EDIP), RoHS-compliant (indicated by '+' suffix), with through-hole mounting and wave/hand-solder compatible leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A19 | Address Inputs | 20-bit address bus supporting full 1-Mbyte addressing; tolerant of slow-rising edges per tAW = 0 ns setup requirement |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; high-impedance on deselect or during write to prevent bus contention |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; controls device activation and participates in write-cycle timing (tWR2, tDH2) |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; determines write start/stop edges and disables outputs within tODW = 25 ns |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; enables data reads only when CE and WE are inactive (high) |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V ±5% main supply; powers logic and enables lithium switch-on at first power-up (VTP threshold) |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal switching circuitry |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 12, 24, and 35 are unconnected - must remain floating, not tied to VCC or GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Power-Fail Detection | Monitors VCC continuously and initiates write protection within 1.5 µs when falling below VTP |
| Lithium Freshness Seal | Lithium cell remains electrically disconnected until first VCC application > VTP, preserving full 10-year capacity |
| Unlimited Write Endurance | No wear-out mechanism - supports infinite SRAM-style writes without degradation or refresh overhead |
| Zero-External-Support Operation | Requires no external capacitors, supervisors, or backup controllers - fully autonomous NV-SRAM functionality |
| Industrial Temperature Qualification | Guaranteed AC/DC performance across -40°C to +85°C, including tACC, tWC, and VTP stability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STK12C68 | 5V ±10% operation, 100 ns access time, same 8M-bit density but higher standby current (1 mA typical) | Targeted at commercial-grade instrumentation; lacks industrial temp rating and tighter VTP tolerance | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed and temperature requirements |
| DS1248Y-120IND+ | 4M-bit density, 120 ns access, wider VCC range (4.5–5.5 V), same IND temp grade and lithium backup | Suitable for legacy designs requiring slower timing or lower memory footprint | Choose when board space or timing margin allows larger access time and reduced capacity suffices |
Compared with STK12C68 and DS1248Y-120IND+, the DS1265AB-70IND delivers faster 70 ns access, tighter ±5% VCC regulation, and lower standby current - making it optimal for new industrial designs demanding high-speed, low-power, and wide-temperature nonvolatile storage.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1265AB-70IND?
The DS1265AB-70IND guarantees a minimum 10-year data retention period in the absence of external power, measured cumulatively from first VCC application. This is ensured by factory-sealed lithium cell design, internal voltage monitoring, and power-switching circuitry - not extrapolated or estimated.
Does DS1265AB-70IND require external circuitry for battery backup operation?
No, the DS1265AB-70IND requires no external circuitry for battery backup operation. Its integrated lithium energy source and automatic power-fail detection logic handle switchover, write protection, and data retention autonomously - eliminating need for supervisors, capacitors, or charge controllers.
What is the write protection voltage threshold (VTP) for DS1265AB-70IND?
The DS1265AB-70IND has a write protection voltage threshold VTP of 4.50 V (min) to 4.75 V (max). When VCC drops below this range, the device automatically disables writes, places outputs in high-impedance, and prepares for lithium backup - a hardwired behavior confirmed in the datasheet's DATA RETENTION MODE section.
Is DS1265AB-70IND pin-compatible with standard 36-pin SRAMs?
Yes, the DS1265AB-70IND uses a standard 36-pin 740-mil EDIP footprint with identical pin assignments (A0–A19, DQ0–DQ7, CE, WE, OE, VCC, GND, NC) as industry-standard 8M-bit SRAMs - enabling drop-in replacement without PCB layout changes.
How does DS1265AB-70IND handle power-up sequencing?
During power-up, the DS1265AB-70IND waits until VCC exceeds ~3.0 V before connecting external supply to the RAM array and disconnecting the lithium source. Full functional operation resumes only after VCC stabilizes above 4.75 V, with tREC = 125 ms recovery time to end write protection - all internally managed without host intervention.
