Product details
Overview
DS1265W-100+ from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a 3.3V, 8Mb nonvolatile SRAM with 1,048,576 × 8 organization, 100ns read/write access time, and integrated lithium battery backup enabling 10-year data retention without external power. It operates across 0°C to +70°C and features automatic write protection during VCC decay below 2.8V, used in industrial control memory logging and embedded system configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the DS1265W-100+ datasheet, DS1265W-100+ pinout, DS1265W-100+ application, or DS1265W-100+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 10-year data retention, 100ns timing compliance, industrial-grade voltage monitoring (VTP = 2.8–3.0V), and self-contained lithium energy source with freshness seal activation on first power-up.
Technical Context
The DS1265W-100+ integrates a CMOS SRAM core with autonomous power-fail detection circuitry that monitors VCC continuously; when voltage drops below ~2.5V, it switches to lithium backup and places all I/Os in high-impedance state while enabling unconditional write protection. Its control logic requires no external support components for microprocessor interfacing.
Read operation initiates when CE and OE are low and WE is high, delivering valid DQ outputs within tACC = 100ns after address stabilization; write operation triggers on the later falling edge of CE or WE, with tWP = 75ns minimum pulse width and tWR = 5/20ns recovery depending on signal edge origin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 8,388,608-bit (1,048,576 × 8) - supports full byte-wide microprocessor data bus interface |
| Access Time | 100ns - meets timing requirements for 10MHz bus systems with zero wait states |
| Data Retention | 10 years without power - enabled by sealed lithium cell and automatic switchover at ~2.5V |

| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C - commercial grade suitable for indoor industrial and telecom equipment |
| Standby Current | ICCS2 = 100–150µA at CE = VCC−0.2V - enables ultra-low-power retention mode |
Pinout & Package
DS1265W-100+ uses a 36-pin 740mil Extended Dual In-line Package (EDIP) with through-hole mounting and RoHS-compliant lead finish. The package includes two NC pins (pins 13 and 24) and supports wave or hand soldering only.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STK12C68-AW50 | 5V supply, 50ns access, no built-in lithium - requires external battery and charge control | Suitable for legacy 5V systems but lacks autonomous power-fail response and freshness seal | Select only if existing 5V infrastructure prohibits 3.3V redesign and external battery management is acceptable |
| AS6C8016-100TIN | Standard 8Mb SRAM (no NV), 100ns, 3.3V - zero data retention without external backup | Lower cost for volatile-only use cases; requires separate battery-backed controller or supercapacitor circuit | Choose when nonvolatility is handled externally and BOM cost reduction outweighs integration benefit |
Compared with STK12C68-AW50 and AS6C8016-100TIN, DS1265W-100+ uniquely delivers fully integrated lithium backup, automatic VCC-fail detection, and 10-year retention without external components - reducing board area, qualification effort, and field failure risk in safety-critical memory logging.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1265W-100+ under zero-power conditions?
The DS1265W-100+ guarantees 10 years of data retention in the absence of external power, measured cumulatively from the moment VCC is first applied and the lithium energy source is activated. This specification assumes proper handling, storage within -40°C to +85°C, and operation within recommended DC conditions. The internal power-switching circuit ensures seamless transition to battery backup when VCC falls below ~2.5V.
Does DS1265W-100+ require external circuitry to manage its lithium backup source?
No, DS1265W-100+ does not require external circuitry for lithium backup management. It contains fully integrated control logic that autonomously monitors VCC, disconnects the lithium cell until first power-up (freshness seal), and switches to battery power during supply decay. All voltage thresholds-including VTP = 2.8–3.0V and switchover at ~2.5V-are implemented on-die.
What are the timing constraints for write operations on DS1265W-100+?
DS1265W-100+ requires a minimum write pulse width (tWP) of 75ns, measured from the later falling edge of CE or WE to the earlier rising edge. Write recovery times are tWR1 = 5ns (from WE high) and tWR2 = 20ns (from CE high). Address must remain stable throughout the cycle, and OE must be held high during writes to prevent bus contention.
Can DS1265W-100+ operate in industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C)?
No, DS1265W-100+ is specified for 0°C to +70°C (commercial grade). For industrial temperature operation, the pin-compatible DS1265W-100IND+ variant must be used - it shares identical electrical specifications and timing but is qualified across -40°C to +85°C with the same 36-pin EDIP package.
How does DS1265W-100+ handle power-up and power-down transitions?
During power-down, DS1265W-100+ detects VCC decay via internal comparators and activates write protection within 1.5µs (tPD). At ~2.5V, it connects the lithium source and places all I/Os in high-impedance. During power-up, it disconnects lithium and resumes normal operation once VCC exceeds 3.0V, with full functionality restored after tREC = 125ms for write-protection release.
