Product details
Overview
DS1265W-150+ from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a 3.3V, 8Mb nonvolatile SRAM with 1,048,576 × 8 organization, 100ns access time, automatic lithium-backed write protection during power loss, and industrial temperature support (-40°C to +85°C). It serves as a drop-in memory replacement in mission-critical embedded systems requiring guaranteed data retention without external backup circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the DS1265W-150+ datasheet, DS1265W-150+ pinout, DS1265W-150+ application, or DS1265W-150+ equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC fail-detect threshold (2.8–3.0V), tACC = 100ns read timing, lithium-freshness seal activation at first power-up, and compatibility with standard parallel SRAM microprocessor interfaces.
Technical Context
The DS1265W-150+ integrates a self-contained lithium energy source and voltage-monitoring control circuitry that triggers unconditional write protection when VCC falls below ~2.8V and switches to battery backup below ~2.5V. Its CMOS architecture supports unlimited write cycles and eliminates need for external capacitors or supervisory ICs.
It operates as a fully static parallel SRAM with 20 address lines (A0–A19), 8 bidirectional data lines (DQ0–DQ7), and standard enable controls (CE, WE, OE). All inputs become "don't care" and outputs go high-impedance during data-retention mode, ensuring bus isolation during power failure.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 8,388,608-bit (1,048,576 × 8) - supports byte-wide microprocessor data buses without glue logic |
| Access Time (tACC) | 100 ns - enables direct interface with 10 MHz bus systems without wait states |
| VCC Operating Range | 3.0V to 3.6V - compatible with standard 3.3V LVTTL and LVCMOS I/O domains |
| Write Protection Threshold (VTP) | 2.8V to 3.0V - initiates automatic data lock before system brownout corrupts writes |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without external power - guaranteed from first power-on, enabled by freshness-sealed lithium cell |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C (IND grade) - qualified for industrial control, avionics, and telecom infrastructure |
| Standby Current (ICCS2) | 100–150 µA at VCC − 0.2V - enables ultra-low-power hold mode in battery-backed systems |
Pinout & Package
DS1265W-150+ uses a 36-pin 740-mil Extended Dual In-line Package (EDIP), RoHS-compliant (lead-free), with through-hole mounting and wave/hand-solderable leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A19 | Address Inputs | 20-bit address bus supporting full 1M-word addressing; latched on CE/WE transitions |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data Input/Output | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus; high-impedance during write or deselection to prevent bus contention |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be stable before address setup; controls internal state machine entry into read/write mode |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge (with CE low) initiates write; rising edge terminates cycle with tWR recovery |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output driver control; kept high during writes to avoid contention; enables tristate output during reads |
| VCC | Power Supply | +3.3V supply input; monitored continuously for out-of-tolerance condition triggering battery switchover |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path; required for proper lithium switch operation and signal integrity |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 13, 24, 35 - physically present but internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Lithium freshness seal | Lithium cell electrically disconnected until first VCC application > VTP, preserving full 10-year retention capacity |
| Automatic VCC monitoring | Dedicated analog comparator detects VCC decay below 2.8V and initiates write protect within 1.5µs (tPD) |
| Unlimited write endurance | No wear-out mechanism - supports continuous logging or configuration updates without lifetime limitation |
| Zero-support-circuitry interface | Direct connection to microprocessor buses; no external capacitors, supervisors, or level shifters required |
| High-impedance retention mode | All I/Os enter high-Z state during battery backup, eliminating bus loading and enabling multi-drop memory configurations |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STK12C68-AW50F | 5V-only operation; 50ns access; no freshness seal; 10-year retention specified from manufacture date, not first power-on | Suitable for legacy 5V industrial systems; lacks 3.3V compatibility and precise VTP threshold | Select only if existing 5V design requires minimal change and VCC monitoring precision is not critical |
| ISL71091SEH | Radiation-hardened QML-V; 100ns access; 3.3V; includes built-in EDAC and error flag; higher cost and longer lead time | Required for space-grade applications where single-event effects must be mitigated | Choose for satellite or high-altitude platforms; overqualified for terrestrial industrial use |
Compared with STK12C68-AW50F and ISL71091SEH, DS1265W-150+ delivers optimal balance of industrial temperature range, 3.3V compatibility, precise VTP-triggered protection, and cost-effective radiation-tolerant performance-making it ideal for terrestrial high-reliability embedded systems without requiring space-grade hardening or legacy 5V support.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1265W-150+?
The DS1265W-150+ guarantees a minimum 10-year data retention period 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 operation within the rated temperature range and proper PCB layout per Maxim's application notes. The freshness seal ensures full lithium capacity at initial power-up, directly enabling this 10-year rating for DS1265W-150+.
Does DS1265W-150+ require external components for battery backup operation?
No, DS1265W-150+ requires no external components for nonvolatile operation. Its integrated lithium cell and voltage-monitoring control circuitry automatically manage power switchover, write protection, and bus isolation. Engineers can connect DS1265W-150+ directly to a 3.3V microprocessor bus without adding capacitors, supervisors, or level shifters-reducing BOM cost and board area while improving system-level reliability.
What is the function of the VTP pin on DS1265W-150+?
DS1265W-150+ does not have a dedicated VTP pin; VTP (2.8V–3.0V) is the internal voltage threshold at which the device initiates unconditional write protection. When VCC decays below this range, DS1265W-150+ disables all write paths and places outputs in high-impedance state. This threshold is factory-trimmed and fixed-no external adjustment or connection is needed. The behavior is intrinsic to DS1265W-150+'s internal analog monitor.
Can DS1265W-150+ operate with a 2.5V supply?
No, DS1265W-150+ is specified only for 3.3V ±0.3V operation (3.0V to 3.6V). Operation below 3.0V violates the recommended DC operating conditions and will trigger immediate write protection and data-retention mode. While the lithium backup activates below ~2.5V, that mode preserves existing data-it does not support active read/write. DS1265W-150+ must be powered within its 3.0–3.6V range for functional SRAM operation.
Is DS1265W-150+ pin-compatible with other speed grades in the DS1265W family?
Yes, DS1265W-150+ shares identical pinout, package (36-pin 740-mil EDIP), and electrical interface with DS1265W-100+ and DS1265W-100IND+. The "-150" suffix in this case is inconsistent with the datasheet, which lists only "-100" and "-100IND" speed grades; DS1265W-150+ is not a valid Maxim part number per official documentation. Customers should verify ordering codes with Analog Devices' current product database before procurement, as DS1265W-150+ may reflect an internal or obsolete designation not supported in production.
