Product details
Overview
The DS3065W-100# from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V, 8Mb (1024k × 8) nonvolatile SRAM with integrated year-2000-compliant real-time clock (RTC), internal rechargeable manganese lithium (ML) battery, and power-fail management circuitry - all in a single 256-ball 27mm × 27mm BGA module. It operates across –40°C to +85°C, delivers 100ns access time, and unconditionally write-protects memory and RTC registers when VCC drops below 2.8V, enabling reliable data retention in RAID systems and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the DS3065W-100# datasheet, DS3065W-100# pinout, DS3065W-100# application, or DS3065W-100# equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed industrial temperature operation, battery-backed RTC alarm/wake-up capability, and direct alternatives for system-level power-fail resilience and time-stamped data logging.
Technical Context
The DS3065W-100# integrates three functional blocks on a single BGA substrate: a static SRAM array (1024k × 8), a full-function RTC with century/year/month/date/hour/minute/second BCD registers and alarm/wake-up logic, and an ML battery with on-chip charger and voltage-monitoring circuitry. Its dual-mode interface uses CE/WE/OE for SRAM access and CS/WE/OE for RTC register access, with separate RST (open-drain reset supervisor) and IRQ/FT (open-drain interrupt/frequency test) outputs.
Power management is hardware-automated: VCC monitoring triggers unconditional write protection at ≤2.8V (VTP), switches to battery supply at ~2.5V (VSW), and initiates 125ms recovery before resuming normal operation. The RTC oscillator is factory-trimmed to ±1 minute/month accuracy at +25°C and supports frequency test mode (512Hz output on IRQ/FT) and watchdog timer with programmable timeout (1/16s to 128s).

Pinout & Package
DS3065W-100# uses a 256-ball BGA package (27mm × 27mm) with ground-signal-power ball mapping optimized for low-noise memory/RTC operation. Pinout includes dedicated SRAM (CE, OE, WE, A0–A19, DQ0–DQ7) and RTC (CS) control lines, dual open-drain outputs (RST, IRQ/FT), and distributed GND/VCC balls for stable power delivery.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A19 | SRAM Address Inputs / RTC Address LSBs (A0–A3) | 20-bit address bus for SRAM; lower 4 bits select among 16 RTC registers |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | Byte-wide interface compatible with 3.3V microprocessors and DSPs |
| CE | SRAM Chip Enable | Active-low enable for SRAM read/write; high during RTC access |
| CS | RTC Chip Select | Active-low enable for RTC register access; high during SRAM access |
| WE | Write Enable | Controls write strobe polarity for both SRAM and RTC; shared function with timing-critical setup/hold |
| OE | Output Enable | Enables SRAM/RTC data output drivers; high-impedance when inactive |
| RST | Open-Drain Reset Output | Asserts low during VCC fail; used as CPU supervisor with external pullup |
| IRQ/FT | Open-Drain Interrupt/Frequency Test | Configurable as RTC alarm output, system wake-up signal, or 512Hz oscillator test source |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM with integrated RTC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1265W-100# | No integrated RTC or battery; requires external crystal, backup capacitor, and supervisory circuitry | Limited to pure NV SRAM use cases; cannot replace DS3065W-100# in RTC-dependent designs | Select only if existing design already implements discrete RTC/battery and only memory expansion is needed |
| STK15C88-3LF35 | 4Mb capacity, 35ns access, 5V-only supply; no alarm/wake-up or watchdog features | Suitable for legacy 5V industrial systems but lacks Y2K-compliance and battery-backed alarm functionality | Choose only for cost-sensitive 5V applications where RTC features are unused and capacity suffices |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed data retention time for DS3065W-100# under battery backup?
The DS3065W-100# provides 2–3 years of data retention per full charge of its internal manganese lithium battery, assuming initial VCC application for ≥96 hours to achieve full charge and no more than two convection reflow exposures at +230°C. This retention is specified at +25°C and is assured by component selection and design - not production-tested per unit.
Does DS3065W-100# support direct replacement of standard 3.3V SRAM in existing designs?
Yes, DS3065W-100# is pin-compatible and timing-compatible with standard 3.3V ×8 SRAMs (e.g., 1024k × 8 organization, 100ns access). Its CE/OE/WE/A/DQ interface matches common microprocessor buses. However, CS must be driven separately for RTC access, and RST/IRQ/FT require external pullups - minor layout updates may be needed for full feature utilization.
How does the DS3065W-100# RTC alarm function during power failure?
The DS3065W-100# RTC alarm remains fully operational during battery backup: when AE=1 and ABE=1, a match between RTC registers and alarm registers (2h–5h) pulls IRQ/FT low - serving as a system wake-up signal. The alarm flag (AF) persists through power cycles and can be read after VCC restoration to detect missed alarms.
What is the role of the VTP and VSW thresholds in DS3065W-100# power management?
VTP (2.8–3.0V) is the write-protection threshold: below this, SRAM/RTC writes are disabled to prevent corruption. VSW (~2.5V) is the switchover threshold: below this, the internal ML battery powers the RTC and SRAM. DS3065W-100# guarantees tREC = 125ms recovery after VCC exceeds VTP before normal operation resumes.
Can the DS3065W-100# watchdog timer be used independently of the RTC functions?
Yes - the DS3065W-100# watchdog timer operates independently: it uses the WATCHDOG register (7h), is reset by any read/write to that register, and asserts IRQ/FT on timeout. It requires no RTC initialization or oscillator enablement, making it usable even if the RTC is disabled or unconfigured.
