Product details
Overview
DS1270W-100IND from Maxim Integrated is a 16Mb (2,097,152 × 8) nonvolatile SRAM with lithium-backed data retention, 100ns read/write access time, 3.3V ±0.3V supply, and industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). It provides automatic write protection during power loss and unlimited write cycles for embedded systems requiring persistent memory without external backup circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the DS1270W-100IND datasheet, DS1270W-100IND pinout, DS1270W-100IND application, or DS1270W-100IND equivalent, key selection considerations include VTP = 2.8–3.0V write-protection threshold, tACC = 100ns timing compliance, CE/OE/WE control interface compatibility, and 36-pin 740mil extended DIP package mechanical fit.
Technical Context
The DS1270W-100IND integrates on-die lithium battery switching and voltage monitoring circuitry that triggers automatic write protection when VCC falls below ~2.8V and activates battery backup below ~2.5V. Its CMOS architecture supports full static operation with no refresh required.
It uses standard parallel SRAM timing with three independent chip-select controls (CE, OE, WE), 21 address lines (A0–A20), and 8 bidirectional data lines (DQ0–DQ7), enabling direct microprocessor bus interfacing without glue logic or external power-fail detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 16,777,216-bit (2,097,152 × 8) - supports byte-wide addressing for legacy 8-bit bus systems |
| Access Time | 100ns - meets timing requirements for 10MHz synchronous bus interfaces |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3V ±0.3V - compatible with standard 3.3V logic families and LDO regulators |
| Write Protection Threshold | VTP = 2.8–3.0V - ensures reliable data freeze before critical brownout levels |
| Data Retention | ≥5 years without power - guaranteed by factory-sealed lithium source activated only at first power-on |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, metering, and transportation electronics |
| Standby Current | 100–300µA - enables low-power hold mode in battery-backed applications |
Pinout & Package
DS1270W-100IND is housed in a 36-pin 740mil extended dual in-line package (EDIP), RoHS-compliant, wave- or hand-solderable only.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A20 | Address Inputs | 21-bit address bus for full 2MB address space decoding |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bidirectional 8-bit data path compatible with 8-bit microcontrollers and peripherals |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low global enable; disables all outputs and internal operations when high |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; controls data latching and write cycle initiation |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output driver control; prevents bus contention during reads |
| VCC | Power Supply | +3.3V main supply; powers logic and enables lithium source connection |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal battery circuitry |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Lithium freshness seal | Lithium energy source remains electrically disconnected until first VCC application > VTP, preserving full 5-year retention capacity |
| Automatic power-fail response | On-chip voltage monitor triggers write protection within 1.5µs of VCC decay below VTP, preventing corruption during brownout |
| Unlimited write endurance | No wear-out mechanism - supports continuous logging, configuration storage, and real-time data capture without cycle limits |
| Zero-support-circuitry interface | Direct connection to 8-bit MPU buses; no external power-fail detectors, backup controllers, or write-protection logic required |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STK16C85-100I | 5V-only supply; 100ns access; 16Mb NV SRAM with built-in lithium; -40°C to +85°C | Requires 5V system rail; incompatible with 3.3V logic; higher standby current (500µA) | Select only if legacy 5V design exists and voltage translation is impractical |
| FM16W08-100 | 3.3V supply; 100ns access; 8Mb density; same EDIP-36 package; -40°C to +85°C | Half memory capacity; identical timing and control interface; lower cost per unit | Choose when 8Mb suffices and board space/cost optimization is prioritized over future expansion headroom |
Compared with STK16C85-100I and FM16W08-100, DS1270W-100IND uniquely delivers 16Mb density at 3.3V with sub-2.8V write-protection triggering-enabling compact, low-power industrial designs where voltage margin and memory scalability are critical.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1270W-100IND when powered off?
The DS1270W-100IND guarantees ≥5 years of data retention in the absence of external power, measured cumulatively from the time VCC is first applied and the internal lithium source is activated. This specification assumes proper handling per Maxim's freshness seal protocol and operation within rated temperature limits.
Does DS1270W-100IND require external circuitry to detect power failure?
No, DS1270W-100IND does not require external power-fail detection circuitry. Its integrated voltage monitor automatically initiates write protection within 1.5µs when VCC drops below the 2.8–3.0V VTP threshold, and switches to lithium backup below ~2.5V-fully autonomously.
Can DS1270W-100IND be used in a 5V system?
No, DS1270W-100IND is specified only for 3.3V ±0.3V operation (3.0V to 3.6V). Applying 5V exceeds its Absolute Maximum Rating of +4.6V on any pin and will cause permanent damage. For 5V systems, consider STK16C85-100I instead.
What happens to the outputs of DS1270W-100IND during power-down?
During power-down, DS1270W-100IND forces all outputs into high-impedance state within 35ns of CE or WE deactivation, and disconnects the lithium source from the RAM array once VCC falls below ~2.5V-ensuring no bus contention or unintended writes during brownout recovery.
Is the 36-pin EDIP package of DS1270W-100IND RoHS-compliant?
Yes, DS1270W-100IND is RoHS-compliant as indicated by the "#" suffix in its ordering code. The 36-pin 740mil extended DIP package meets lead-free soldering requirements and is qualified for wave and hand soldering per Maxim's package specifications.
