Product details
Overview
DS1270W-100IND# from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a 3.3V, 8Mb nonvolatile SRAM with 20-bit address bus (A0–A19), 8-bit data bus (DQ0–DQ7), and 100ns access time. It integrates a lithium energy source and automatic power-fail write protection for industrial applications 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 criteria include guaranteed 10-year data retention at -40°C to +85°C, unlimited write cycles, VCC fail-detect threshold at 2.8V, and self-contained battery switchover without support components.
Technical Context
The DS1270W-100IND# implements a fully static NV SRAM architecture with integrated lithium power-switching circuitry that monitors VCC continuously. When VCC drops below ~2.5V, it disconnects external supply and connects the internal lithium source to retain RAM contents; during power-up above ~2.5V, it reverts to VCC and isolates the battery.
It operates in three distinct modes: Read (CE/OE low, WE high), Write (CE/WE low), and Data-Retention (VCC < 3.0V, all inputs "don't care", outputs high-Z). Write protection activates unconditionally at VTP = 2.8–3.0V, and the freshness seal ensures full battery capacity until first power application.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 8,388,608-bit (1,048,576 × 8) - supports full byte-addressable storage without external decoding |
| Access Time | 100ns - enables direct interfacing with legacy microprocessors running at ≤10MHz |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum at -40°C to +85°C - no external capacitor or supercap required for hold-up |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0V to 3.6V - compatible with standard 3.3V logic rails and tolerant of ±0.3V variation |
| Write Protection Threshold | VTP = 2.8–3.0V - triggers automatic lockout before data corruption occurs during brownout |
| Standby Current | 100–250µA - ultra-low quiescent draw during battery-backup mode preserves lithium life |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C (IND grade) - qualified for industrial control, metering, and transportation systems |
Pinout & Package
DS1270W-100IND# uses a 36-pin 740mil Extended Dual In-line Package (EDIP), RoHS-compliant with lead-free finish (# suffix). The package is wave- or hand-solderable only, with no reflow compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A19 | Address Inputs | 20-bit parallel address bus enabling full 1MB addressing space |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus with TTL-compatible levels and 2mA drive capability |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be stable before address setup for valid access |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; controls data latching and output disable during writes |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output enable; used only in read mode to gate data drivers |
| VCC | Power Supply | +3.3V primary supply; powers logic and enables lithium freshness seal on first power-up |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal switching circuitry |
| NC | No Connect | Three pins (pins 12, 23, 24) are internally unconnected - must remain floating |

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-only supply; 70ns access; no built-in lithium - requires external battery and protection circuitry | Suitable for legacy 5V systems but adds BOM cost and layout complexity for backup path | Choose only if existing 5V design forbids voltage translation and board space allows discrete backup components |
| AS6C8008 | Standard 3.3V SRAM (no NV function); 15ns access; no data retention on power loss | Requires external NV solution (FRAM, EEPROM, or battery-backed controller) for persistence | Select when speed >100ns is mandatory and external NV management is already implemented |
Compared with STK12C68 and AS6C8008, DS1270W-100IND# delivers true single-chip nonvolatility with zero external components, eliminating design risk from battery leakage, diode drop, or capacitor aging - critical for long-life industrial deployments where field service is impractical.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1270W-100IND# under industrial temperature conditions?
The DS1270W-100IND# guarantees a minimum of 10 years of data retention at temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C, measured cumulatively from the time VCC is first applied. This specification accounts for lithium self-discharge and internal circuit leakage under worst-case thermal stress, with no external components required to achieve this rating.
Does DS1270W-100IND# require external circuitry to enable battery backup functionality?
No, DS1270W-100IND# does not require external circuitry for battery backup. Its integrated lithium energy source and power-switching circuitry automatically engage when VCC falls below ~2.5V, and the freshness seal ensures full battery capacity until first power application. No diodes, capacitors, or charge controllers are needed.
What happens to DS1270W-100IND# outputs during power-down?
During power-down, when VCC drops below 3.0V, DS1270W-100IND# places all outputs in high-impedance state and disables all inputs ("don't care" condition). This prevents bus contention and ensures clean isolation from the host system while the internal lithium source maintains RAM contents.
Is DS1270W-100IND# pin-compatible with other members of the DS1265W family?
Yes, DS1270W-100IND# shares identical pinout, signal definitions, and timing behavior with DS1265W-100IND#, including A0–A19, DQ0–DQ7, CE, WE, OE, VCC, GND, and NC assignments. Both use the same 36-pin 740mil EDIP package and comply with the same industrial temperature and reliability specifications.
How does the write protection threshold (VTP) function in DS1270W-100IND#?
The DS1270W-100IND# asserts unconditional write protection when VCC falls to 2.8–3.0V (VTP range), preventing any further writes before data corruption can occur. This hardware-level lockout is independent of software control and activates within 1.5µs of VCC decay detection, ensuring data integrity during brownout events.
