Product details
Overview
M48T08Y-10MH1E from STMicroelectronics is a 64 Kbit (8 Kb × 8) non-volatile TIMEKEEPER® SRAM integrating ultra-low-power static RAM, real-time clock, power-fail control circuitry, and on-board lithium battery + 32.768 kHz crystal in CAPHAT™ DIP package. It delivers ±1 minute/month clock accuracy at 25 °C, supports BYTEWIDE™ RAM-like access to BCD-coded time registers (year/month/day/hour/minute/second), and provides automatic WRITE protection during VCC drop below 4.2 V. Used in industrial control panels for persistent timestamping of event logs under intermittent power.
For engineers reviewing the M48T08Y-10MH1E datasheet, M48T08Y-10MH1E pinout, M48T08Y-10MH1E application, or M48T08Y-10MH1E equivalent, this page details its integrated RTC+SRAM architecture, battery-backed data retention behavior, VPFD voltage thresholds, INT interrupt timing, and compatibility with DS1643 and JEDEC 8K×8 SRAM sockets.
Technical Context
The device integrates a BiPORT™ SRAM array (8184 × 8) with dedicated upper 8-byte memory-mapped registers (1FF8h–1FFFh) storing BCD-formatted time/date values updated once per second by an internal oscillator. Clock calibration is software-controlled via the control register's CAL bits, enabling fine-tuning of oscillator frequency.
Its power management includes dual-threshold voltage sensing: VPFD (4.2–4.5 V) triggers automatic chip deselect and WRITE protection, while VSO (≈4.0 V) initiates seamless switchover to internal lithium battery, sustaining RTC and SRAM operation for ≥10 years. The open-drain INT pin asserts within 10–40 µs of VCC crossing VPFD.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 64 Kbit (8 Kb × 8); provides byte-addressable non-volatile storage without external backup components. |
| RTC accuracy | ±1 minute/month at 25 °C; enables long-term timestamping without periodic manual correction. |
| VPFD range | 4.2 V to 4.5 V; defines precise voltage window for automatic WRITE protect activation during brownout. |
| Access time | 100 ns (min); ensures compatibility with legacy 8K×8 SRAM bus timing in microcontroller systems. |
| Battery life | ≥10 years in data retention mode; eliminates field replacement of backup power in sealed enclosures. |
| Package type | PCDIP28 CAPHAT™; integrates silicon, crystal, and 48 mAh lithium cell in single through-hole DIP footprint. |
| Interface protocol | Parallel SRAM-compatible (E1/E2/G/W/A0–A12/DQ0–DQ7); requires no I²C/SPI controller or firmware overhead. |
Pinout & Package
PCDIP28 CAPHAT™ package: 28-pin plastic DIP (600 mil width) with integrated lithium button cell and 32.768 kHz quartz crystal housed in molded cap. No external battery or crystal required.

Applications
| Industrial HMI Loggers | Medical Device Event Recorders |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Standalone panel PC in factory floor environment records operator actions and alarm events with precise timestamps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-volatile SRAM stores log entries; integrated RTC supplies accurate wall-clock timestamps independent of host CPU uptime. Use Value: Maintains synchronized time and log integrity during mains outages or system reboots, eliminating timestamp gaps or resets. |
Use Scenario: Portable infusion pump logs drug delivery start/stop times, dosage, and error conditions for regulatory audit trails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides tamper-resistant, battery-backed timekeeping and secure parameter storage across power cycles. Use Value: Ensures FDA-compliant traceability with guaranteed ≥10-year timestamp continuity even if main battery is depleted. |
| Energy Meter Firmware Storage | Telecom Base Station Alarms |
|
Use Scenario: Smart electricity meter retains firmware configuration and tariff schedules during grid brownouts. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stores critical settings in SRAM; RTC tracks billing periods and demand intervals with calendar-aware accuracy. Use Value: Prevents loss of time-sensitive tariff data and maintains correct billing cycle alignment after extended power loss. |
Use Scenario: Cellular base station reports hardware faults and temperature excursions with precise UTC-aligned timestamps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supplies stable time reference for SNMP trap generation and remote diagnostics logging. Use Value: Enables correlation of distributed alarms across network nodes without reliance on NTP synchronization. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar non-volatile RTC+SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1643-100+ (Maxim) | Same pinout and function, but uses external crystal and separate battery; no integrated CAPHAT™ package. | Requires additional board space and two extra components; lacks factory-calibrated oscillator accuracy. | Select when redesigning legacy DS1643-based boards and external component sourcing is preferred. |
| M48T35Y-10MH1E (STMicro) | Higher density (256 Kbit SRAM), same CAPHAT™ package and RTC features; VPFD range identical (4.2–4.5 V). | Supports larger firmware/data buffers; identical footprint allows drop-in upgrade where memory expansion is needed. | Select when future-proofing for increased log depth or parameter storage without changing PCB layout. |
Compared with DS1643-100+, M48T08Y-10MH1E reduces BOM count and improves time accuracy via factory-integrated crystal; compared with M48T35Y-10MH1E, it offers lower cost and smaller footprint for applications needing only 64 Kbit.

FAQ
What is the battery chemistry and capacity in the CAPHAT™ package?
The M48T08Y-10MH1E PCDIP28 CAPHAT™ package contains a 48 mAh lithium manganese dioxide (Li-MnO₂) button cell, rated for ≥10 years of data retention at 25 °C when VCC remains below VSO. This chemistry provides stable voltage discharge and low self-discharge, ensuring reliable long-term backup without maintenance.
How does the READ bit in the control register affect RTC operation?
Writing '1' to the READ bit (bit 7 of address 1FF8h) halts updates to the BCD time registers (1FF9h–1FFFh), freezing their values for safe readout without risk of reading mid-update. The underlying oscillator and counters continue running uninterrupted; register updates resume automatically one second after writing '0' to the READ bit.
Can the M48T08Y-10MH1E operate without the INT pin connected?
Yes - the INT pin is optional. It is an open-drain output requiring an external pull-up resistor only if power-fail interrupt signaling is used. If unused, the pin may be left unconnected; the device still performs automatic WRITE protection and battery switchover regardless of INT status.
Is the M48T08Y-10MH1E RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the M48T08Y-10MH1E is RoHS compliant with lead-free second-level interconnects, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU. Its PCDIP28 CAPHAT™ package uses matte tin plating on leads and conforms to JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3 for surface-mount handling.
