Product details
Overview
DS1265Y-100 from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a 8 Mbit (1,048,576 × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with integrated lithium battery backup, full ±10% VCC operation (4.5V–5.5V), 70 ns read/write access time, and guaranteed 10-year data retention without external power. It serves as a drop-in SRAM replacement in systems requiring persistent memory during power loss, such as industrial controllers and metering hardware.
For engineers reviewing the DS1265Y-100 datasheet, DS1265Y-100 pinout, DS1265Y-100 application, or DS1265Y-100 equivalent, key selection considerations include its self-contained power-fail detection circuitry, automatic write protection below 4.25 V, 36-pin 740-mil extended DIP package, and compatibility with standard microprocessor bus timing.
Technical Context
The DS1265Y-100 implements autonomous power monitoring via an internal voltage comparator that triggers at VTP = 4.25 V (min), switching to lithium backup and enabling unconditional write protection. Its CMOS architecture supports unlimited write cycles and requires no external support circuitry for NV operation.
It operates in three distinct modes: normal read/write (VCC ≥ 4.5 V), data retention (VCC < ~3.0 V, lithium active), and transitional power-down/power-up (VCC between 3.0 V and 4.5 V), with tPD = 1.5 µs fail-detect latency and tREC = 125 ms recovery to full write protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 8,388,608-bit (1,048,576 × 8) - directly replaces standard 1-Mbyte SRAMs without address decoding changes |
| Access Time | 70 ns - meets timing requirements for 14 MHz bus interfaces with no wait states |
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V (±10%) - tolerates wide-input unregulated supplies common in industrial power rails |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum without power - enabled by sealed lithium cell disconnected until first VCC application |
| Write Protection Threshold | VTP = 4.25 V (min) - initiates automatic write lock before system brownout corrupts data |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C (commercial) - validated for stable operation across ambient temperature swings in enclosed enclosures |
| Standby Current | 100–200 µA (CE = VCC−0.5 V) - enables low-power hold mode in battery-backed systems |
Pinout & Package
DS1265Y-100 is housed in a 36-pin 740-mil Extended Dual In-line Package (EDIP), RoHS-compliant, wave- or hand-solderable only. Pin layout follows industry-standard parallel SRAM interface with dedicated control, address, and bidirectional data lines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A19 | Address Inputs | 20-bit address bus interface supporting full 1-Mword addressing; compatible with 80Cxx/8051/Z80-style address latching |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Bidirectional Data I/O | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when CE or OE inactive, eliminating need for external bus transceivers |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be stable before address setup; controls device participation in bus cycle |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge initiates write; rising edge terminates it; disables outputs during write if OE active |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output enable; used only during reads; high during writes prevents bus contention |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply input; monitored continuously for decay; powers internal logic and RAM array |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal circuitry; requires low-impedance connection |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 12, 23, 24, and 34 are unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Power-Fail Detection | Internal comparator triggers write protection and lithium switchover within 1.5 µs of VCC crossing 4.25 V threshold |
| Lithium Freshness Seal | Lithium cell electrically isolated until first VCC > VTP, preserving full 10-year retention capacity from shipment |
| Unlimited Write Cycles | No endurance limit on SRAM core - eliminates wear-leveling firmware and write-cycle counting overhead |
| Full Bus Compatibility | Standard SRAM timing (tACC, tWC, tOE) matches 70 ns microprocessor buses without glue logic |
| Self-Contained Backup | No external capacitors, regulators, or supervisory ICs required - reduces BOM count and PCB area |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1265AB-70+ | Narrower VCC range (4.75–5.25 V); higher write-protection threshold (4.50 V min); same 70 ns speed and 36-pin EDIP | Better suited for regulated 5 V systems where tighter supply tolerance is guaranteed | Select DS1265AB-70+ when board-level regulation ensures stable 5 V ±5%; otherwise DS1265Y-100 provides wider margin for unregulated inputs |
| STK12C68 | Same 8 Mbit size and 70 ns speed but uses external capacitor-based backup; no integrated lithium; requires external supervisor | Lower cost but increases design complexity and reduces long-term reliability due to capacitor aging | Choose STK12C68 only if lithium-free design is mandated and capacitor lifetime modeling is performed |
Compared with DS1265AB-70+ and STK12C68, DS1265Y-100 offers the widest VCC tolerance (±10%) and fully autonomous backup-making it optimal for field-deployed equipment with variable input rails and zero-maintenance requirements.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1265Y-100 under zero-power conditions?
The DS1265Y-100 guarantees a minimum 10-year data retention period when operating in battery backup mode with no external power applied. This specification is assured through component selection, process control, and design-not measured per unit-but applies cumulatively from the moment VCC is first applied and the lithium cell is activated. The DS1265Y-100 achieves this using a hermetically sealed lithium energy source disconnected until initial power-up.
Does DS1265Y-100 require external circuitry to manage battery backup or power-fail detection?
No, DS1265Y-100 requires no external circuitry for battery backup or power-fail detection. It integrates a precision voltage comparator, power-switching circuitry, and lithium cell within the 36-pin EDIP package. The DS1265Y-100 autonomously monitors VCC, initiates write protection below 4.25 V, and switches to lithium power below ~3.0 V-all without external components or firmware intervention.
What is the difference between DS1265Y-100 and DS1265AB-70+ in terms of supply voltage tolerance?
The DS1265Y-100 supports a ±10% VCC range (4.5 V to 5.5 V), while DS1265AB-70+ supports only ±5% (4.75 V to 5.25 V). This makes DS1265Y-100 more tolerant of unregulated or aging power supplies. Both share identical 70 ns access time, 36-pin EDIP packaging, and nonvolatile functionality-but DS1265Y-100's wider tolerance improves robustness in field-deployed industrial systems.
Can DS1265Y-100 be used in industrial temperature environments?
Yes, the DS1265Y-100 is available in an industrial temperature grade (DS1265Y-70IND+) rated for -40°C to +85°C operation. While the base DS1265Y-100 part number denotes commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C), the IND-suffixed variant maintains full electrical specifications-including 70 ns access time and 4.25 V write-protection threshold-across the extended range, making DS1265Y-100 suitable for harsh-environment deployments when ordered with IND suffix.
How does DS1265Y-100 handle bus contention during write cycles?
During write cycles, DS1265Y-100 prevents bus contention by disabling its output drivers when WE is active (low), regardless of OE state. If OE is inadvertently active during a write, the DS1265Y-100 overrides it and forces outputs into high-impedance within tODW = 25 ns of WE's falling edge. This ensures clean bus arbitration and eliminates the need for external bus-hold or direction-control logic in microprocessor interfaces.
