Product details
Overview
DS1270Y-70IND from Maxim Integrated is a 16 Mbit (2,097,152 × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with lithium battery backup, 70 ns access time, ±10% VCC tolerance (4.5 V to 5.5 V), and industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C). It autonomously switches to battery power below ~3.0 V, enabling data retention without external circuitry in embedded instrumentation and legacy industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the DS1270Y-70IND datasheet, DS1270Y-70IND pinout, DS1270Y-70IND application, or DS1270Y-70IND equivalent, key selection factors include guaranteed 5-year data retention, unlimited write cycles, automatic write protection during brownout, full VCC monitoring, and compatibility with standard SRAM bus timing.
Technical Context
The DS1270Y-70IND integrates a self-contained lithium energy source and voltage-monitoring circuitry that triggers unconditional write protection when VCC falls below 4.25 V (VTP min), then connects the battery at ~3.0 V to sustain memory contents. Its control logic enforces strict input synchronization: read requires CE and OE low with WE high; write requires CE and WE low with OE high.
It operates as a drop-in replacement for volatile SRAMs in microprocessor systems-no external support ICs needed-while maintaining full TTL-compatible signaling (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), 20 pF–40 pF I/O capacitance, and 100 µA typical standby current (CE = VCC–0.5 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 16,777,216 bits (2,097,152 × 8) - supports byte-wide parallel interfaces without address multiplexing |
| Access Time | 70 ns - enables direct interfacing with 14 MHz microprocessors without wait states |
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V (±10%) - accommodates wide-tolerance power supplies common in industrial PLCs |
| Data Retention | ≥5 years without power - verified by component-level design and process control, not production-tested per unit |
| Write Protection Threshold | 4.25 V to 4.5 V (VTP) - initiates automatic lockout before system-level reset thresholds are breached |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for uncontrolled environments including factory floors and outdoor enclosures |
| Standby Current | 100 µA max (CE = VCC–0.5 V) - minimizes parasitic drain during extended power-loss events |
Pinout & Package
DS1270Y-70IND uses a 36-pin 740-mil Extended Dual In-line Package (EDIP), RoHS-compliant, wave- or hand-solderable only. Pin 1 is A18; pin 36 is GND. NC pins (13, 24) must remain unconnected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A20 | Address Inputs | 21-bit address bus supporting full 2-Mbyte addressing space; all must be stable during read/write setup |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | CMOS-compatible 8-bit I/O; high-impedance when CE or OE inactive; no bus contention during write if OE held high |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low global select; falling edge synchronizes with WE to define write start; rising edge terminates cycle |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; output drivers disabled within 25 ns of falling edge (tODW) |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; determines tOE (35 ns) and tCOE (5 ns) timing; must be high during writes |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply with ±10% tolerance; powers logic and enables lithium switch-on at first power-up |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; must be low-impedance to prevent noise-induced false VCC fault detection |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 13 (A15) and 24 (NC) are unused; must not be tied to any net |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Power-Fail Response | Switches to lithium backup in ≤1.5 µs (tPD) upon VCC decay below VTP, eliminating need for external supervisor ICs |
| Freshness Seal | Lithium source remains electrically disconnected until first VCC application > VTP, preserving full 5-year retention capacity |
| Unlimited Write Cycles | No endurance wear-out mechanism - supports continuous logging or configuration updates without degradation |
| Full VCC Monitoring | Continuous real-time sensing ensures write protection activates before system reset ICs trigger, preventing partial writes |
| TTL-Compatible Timing | 70 ns tACC, 35 ns tOE, and 5 ns tCOE align with legacy 80Cxx/8051/68K bus protocols without glue logic |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1270AB-70IND | Narrower VCC range (4.75–5.25 V); higher VTP (4.50–4.75 V); same package/timing | Better suited for regulated 5 V systems where tighter supply tolerance is guaranteed | Select DS1270AB-70IND if board-level regulation holds VCC within ±5%; otherwise DS1270Y-70IND provides wider margin |
| STK16C88-70I | Same density/timing but uses external battery; no integrated lithium switch; requires external VCC monitor | Requires additional components (supervisor IC, diode, capacitor) and PCB area | Choose STK16C88-70I only if lithium integration is prohibited by safety certification or if battery replacement is required in-field |
Compared with DS1270AB-70IND and STK16C88-70I, the DS1270Y-70IND delivers superior system-level simplicity: its integrated battery management eliminates external components, while its ±10% VCC tolerance reduces dependency on precision regulators in cost-sensitive industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention period for DS1270Y-70IND?
The DS1270Y-70IND guarantees ≥5 years of data retention in the absence of external power, starting from the moment VCC is first applied. This specification is assured by component selection, process control, and design-not measured per unit-and assumes the lithium energy source remains undischarged prior to initial use.
Does DS1270Y-70IND require external circuitry to manage battery backup?
No, the DS1270Y-70IND contains fully integrated lithium battery switching and voltage monitoring circuitry. It automatically disconnects the lithium source until first power-up, then monitors VCC continuously and switches to battery power below ~3.0 V-no external supervisor IC, diodes, or capacitors are needed for basic nonvolatile operation.
How does DS1270Y-70IND handle write operations during power failure?
When VCC drops below the write-protection threshold (4.25 V to 4.5 V), the DS1270Y-70IND unconditionally disables write capability, places all inputs in "don't care" state, and forces outputs to high-impedance. This prevents partial or corrupted writes during brownout, ensuring data integrity without software intervention.
Is DS1270Y-70IND pin-compatible with standard 36-pin SRAMs?
Yes, the DS1270Y-70IND uses a standard 36-pin 740-mil EDIP footprint with identical pin assignments (A0–A20, DQ0–DQ7, CE, WE, OE, VCC, GND) as industry-standard 2-Mbyte SRAMs. No PCB layout changes are required for drop-in replacement-only ensure VCC tolerance and temperature range match system requirements.
What is the maximum operating current of DS1270Y-70IND during active read/write cycles?
The DS1270Y-70IND draws up to 85 mA of operating current (ICCO1) during active read or write cycles at VCC = 5 V. This value reflects worst-case dynamic current under full bus activity and is specified across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
