Product details
Overview
M48T35AV-10MH1F 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, and on-board lithium battery + quartz 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 during mains failure.
For engineers reviewing the M48T35AV-10MH1F datasheet, M48T35AV-10MH1F pinout, M48T35AV-10MH1F application, or M48T35AV-10MH1F equivalent, this page provides verified pin mapping, JEDEC SRAM-compatible timing behavior, battery-backed data retention specs, and validated alternatives for legacy timekeeping memory replacement.
Technical Context
The M48T35AV-10MH1F integrates a 32,768 × 8 BiPORT™ SRAM array with a dedicated 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator and voltage-sensing circuitry on a single die. Its clock registers (7FF8h–7FFFh) are memory-mapped SRAM locations updated once per second by internal logic - not direct counter reads - enabling standard SRAM access protocols for time data.
Power management includes dual-threshold detection: VPFD (2.7–3.0 V) triggers automatic WRITE protection and high-Z outputs, while VSO (~2.5 V) initiates seamless switchover to internal lithium battery. The BOK flag is latched at power-up if battery voltage falls below ~2.5 V, blocking first WRITE until cleared.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 256 Kbit (32 K × 8) - matches JEDEC 32K×8 SRAM footprint for drop-in socket replacement. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0–3.6 V - operates within standard 3.3 V system rails; VPFD window (2.7–3.0 V) ensures robust brownout detection. |
| Access Time | 100 ns - supports 10 MHz bus timing without wait states in microcontroller interfaces. |
| RTC Accuracy | ±35 ppm at 25°C (±1.53 min/month); calibratable to +1/–2 ppm - enables long-term timestamp fidelity without external trimming. |
| Battery Life | ≥7 years in data retention mode - internal 48 mAh lithium cell sustains clock + SRAM during extended AC loss. |
| Package | PCDIP28 with integrated CAPHAT™ - contains silicon, crystal, and battery in one hermetically sealed DIP module. |
| Time Format | BCD-coded year/month/day/date/hour/minute/second - simplifies firmware parsing without binary-to-BCD conversion overhead. |
Pinout & Package
PCDIP28 CAPHAT™ package: 28-pin plastic DIP (600 mil width), fully self-contained with integrated lithium button cell and 32.768 kHz quartz crystal. No external components required for RTC or backup operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus for 32,768-byte memory space; accesses clock registers at 7FF8h–7FFFh. |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; carries both SRAM data and BCD time values via same interface. |
| E | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; initiates READ/WRITE cycles and triggers power-fail detection when VCC drops. |
| G | Output Enable | Active-low output control; isolates data bus during WRITE to prevent contention. |
| W | WRITE Enable | Active-low WRITE strobe; controls WRITE timing and interacts with E to define cycle boundaries. |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | 3.3 V main supply; monitored continuously for VPFD/VSO thresholds to manage battery switchover. |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path for both SRAM and RTC circuits; shared analog/digital ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BYTEWIDE™ Clock Access | Time data stored in standard SRAM addresses (7FF8h–7FFFh), eliminating custom I²C/SPI drivers and enabling direct memory-mapped reads. |
| Automatic Power-Fail Protection | Hardware-level WRITE disable and high-Z outputs triggered within VPFD window (2.7–3.0 V), preventing corruption during uncontrolled brownout. |
| Replaceable SNAPHAT® Option | SOIC variant supports field-replaceable SNAPHAT® housing (e.g., M4T28-BR12SH1); CAPHAT™ DIP version is factory-sealed but offers identical pinout. |
| Battery Low Flag (BOK) | Dedicated status bit latched at power-up if battery voltage < ~2.5 V; blocks first WRITE until cleared, ensuring time integrity awareness. |
| Century Bit Support | CEB/CB bits in control register enable correct Y2K+100 rollover handling through firmware-configurable century toggle logic. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Data Logging | Medical Device Timestamping |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar non-volatile timekeeping memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS12887A-10+ (Maxim) | 5 V operation only; uses external lithium battery; no integrated crystal; 128 Kbit (16 K × 8) density. | Requires level-shifting for 3.3 V systems; lacks BOK flag; needs external 32.768 kHz crystal and load capacitors. | Select for legacy 5 V designs where board space allows discrete RTC + battery + crystal layout. |
| M48T59Y-10MH1F (STMicro) | Same CAPHAT™ DIP-28 package; higher 1 Mbit (128 K × 8) density; identical RTC engine and BOK functionality. | Direct pin-compatible upgrade path; retains all firmware register maps and timing; supports larger log buffers. | Choose when future-proofing for expanded NVRAM capacity without changing PCB layout or driver code. |
Compared with DS12887A-10+, the M48T35AV-10MH1F eliminates external components and supports 3.3 V native operation; versus M48T59Y-10MH1F, it trades density for lower cost and reduced power in resource-constrained embedded nodes.

FAQ
What is the function of the BOK (Battery OK) flag?
The BOK flag is a hardware-latched status bit set at power-up if the internal lithium battery voltage falls below ~2.5 V. When asserted, it blocks the first attempted WRITE to prevent timestamp corruption. The flag clears automatically after that WRITE completes, restoring full SRAM functionality. This mechanism ensures firmware is alerted to battery degradation before timekeeping accuracy degrades.
Can the M48T35AV-10MH1F operate without its internal battery?
No - the internal battery is integral to the CAPHAT™ DIP-28 package and cannot be removed or disabled. The device requires the battery to maintain RTC operation and SRAM data during VCC loss. Operating without battery would result in immediate time and data loss upon power interruption; the IC is not functional as a standard SRAM without the backup power source.
How is clock calibration performed on this device?
Calibration is achieved by writing values to the CAL[3:0] bits (D3–D0) in the control register (7FF8h). Factory-trimmed devices ship with default settings yielding ±35 ppm accuracy at 25°C. Adjusting these bits modifies the oscillator's effective load capacitance, improving accuracy to +1/–2 ppm. Calibration requires external reference clock measurement and iterative bit adjustment - no auto-calibration circuitry is present.
Is the M48T35AV-10MH1F RoHS compliant?
Yes - the M48T35AV-10MH1F is RoHS compliant with lead-free second-level interconnects, as confirmed in STMicroelectronics' official documentation (Doc ID 6845 Rev 9, Section 8). The CAPHAT™ package uses lead-free solder and complies with EU Directive 2011/65/EU, including exemptions for lead in glass frits and high-melting-temperature solders per Annex III.
