Product details
Overview
M48T35AV-10MH1E from STMicroelectronics is a 3.3 V, 256 Kbit (32 K × 8) non-volatile TIMEKEEPER® SRAM integrating ultra-low-power static RAM, real-time clock, power-fail control circuitry, and on-board lithium battery + crystal in a CAPHAT™ DIP-28 package. It delivers BCD-coded timekeeping (year/month/day/hour/minute/second), battery low flag (BOK), frequency test output, and automatic WRITE protection during VCC brownout - used in industrial control panels requiring persistent time-stamped logging under intermittent power.
For engineers reviewing the M48T35AV-10MH1E datasheet, M48T35AV-10MH1E pinout, M48T35AV-10MH1E application, or M48T35AV-10MH1E equivalent, this device serves as a JEDEC-standard 32 K × 8 SRAM drop-in replacement with integrated RTC functionality, battery-backed data retention, and deterministic power-fail switchover behavior critical for embedded systems with time-critical state preservation.
Technical Context
The M48T35AV-10MH1E integrates a 32,768 Hz quartz oscillator, BiPORT™ dual-port memory architecture, and voltage-sense switching circuitry on a single die. Its clock registers (7FF8h–7FFFh) reside in the upper 8 bytes of SRAM and are updated once per second by dedicated clock chain logic - independent of CPU access timing.
Power management is handled by a dedicated VPFD comparator (2.7–3.0 V trip range) that triggers automatic chip deselect and WRITE disable when VCC drops below VPFD(min); battery backup engages at VSO ≤ 2.7 V, sustaining full RTC + SRAM operation for ≥7 years. The BOK flag is latched at power-up if battery voltage falls below ~2.5 V.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS12C887-10+ (Maxim Integrated) | 5 V operation only; uses external battery; no integrated crystal; 10-year data retention spec | Requires discrete crystal and battery holder; incompatible with 3.3 V systems | Select only for legacy 5 V designs needing long-term field replacement of battery/crystal |

FAQ
What is the function of the BOK (Battery OK) flag?
The BOK flag is an internal status bit set automatically at power-up if the integrated lithium battery voltage falls below ~2.5 V. When asserted, it blocks the first attempted WRITE to prevent corrupted data entry. The flag clears after the first successful WRITE, restoring normal operation - enabling reliable low-battery detection without external monitoring circuitry.
How does the M48T35AV-10MH1E handle leap year and month-end date corrections?
The device's internal clock logic automatically adjusts for variable month lengths (28–31 days) and leap years through 2100. These corrections occur transparently within the hardware clock chain and require no software intervention - the BCD-encoded registers (7FF9h–7FFFh) always reflect calendar-accurate values upon read, regardless of system CPU activity.
Can the integrated crystal be replaced or upgraded?
No - the CAPHAT™ DIP-28 package contains a factory-sealed, non-user-serviceable 32.768 kHz quartz crystal and lithium battery. Replacement requires full component substitution. For field-replaceable crystal/battery, select the SOH28 variant (e.g., M48T35Y-10MH1E) with compatible SNAPHAT® housing (M4T32-BR12SH6 for extended temperature range).
What is the significance of the VPFD voltage range (2.7–3.0 V)?
VPFD defines the precise voltage window where the device initiates automatic WRITE protection and chip deselect during power decay. Operation between 2.7 V and 3.0 V triggers hardware-level disable of all WRITE operations while preserving read capability - ensuring data integrity during brownout conditions before full battery switchover at VSO ≤ 2.7 V.
