Product details
Overview
M48T37V-10MH1E from STMicroelectronics is a 32 K × 8 (256 Kbit) battery-backed TIMEKEEPER® SRAM integrating real-time clock, watchdog timer, power-fail control, and microprocessor reset-operating at 3.0–3.6 V with VPFD = 2.7–3.0 V and 7-year data retention on internal lithium battery. It delivers BCD-formatted time/date registers (century, year, month, day, hour, minute, second), alarm interrupt, and frequency test output for software calibration in embedded industrial control and metering systems.
For engineers reviewing the M48T37V-10MH1E datasheet, M48T37V-10MH1E pinout, M48T37V-10MH1E application, or M48T37V-10MH1E equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC range compatibility (3.0–3.6 V), SNAPHAT®-compatible SOH44 package integration, battery-backed RTC accuracy (±20 ppm over –40°C to +85°C), and WRITE protection behavior during power fail.
Technical Context
The M48T37V-10MH1E integrates a 32,768 Hz crystal oscillator, BiPORT™ SRAM array, voltage-sense switching circuitry, and clock chain on a single die. Its RTC updates BCD time registers (7FF1h–7FFFh) once per second while maintaining full SRAM access via standard parallel interface.
Power management includes automatic switchover to internal lithium battery at VSO (2.5 V typical), VPFD-triggered write protection (2.7–3.0 V), and CMOS standby mode with <1 μA current draw. The IRQ/FT pin serves dual function: alarm interrupt (active-low, battery-backup enabled) and frequency test output for calibration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 32 K × 8 (256 Kbit) non-volatile SRAM with BYTEWIDE™ access |
| VCC operating range | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - defines system supply compatibility for 3.3 V logic domains |
| VPFD range | 2.7 V ≤ VPFD ≤ 3.0 V - precise voltage window triggering automatic WRITE protect during brownout |
| Data retention | ≥7 years at 25°C on internal lithium battery - eliminates external backup power design |
| RTC accuracy | ±20 ppm over –40°C to +85°C - enables reliable timestamping without external calibration |
| Access time | 100 ns max (M48T37V grade) - supports 10 MHz bus timing in microcontroller interfaces |
| Alarm capability | Programmable daily/hourly/minute/second alarm with battery-backup activation - enables low-power wake-up events |
Pinout & Package
Package: 44-pin SOIC (SOH44) with gold-plated top/bottom sockets for direct mating with SNAPHAT® housing (e.g., M4T28-BR12SH) containing 32.768 kHz crystal and lithium coin cell. SNAPHAT® mounts post-reflow to avoid thermal damage.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address inputs | 15-bit address bus selecting one of 32,752 SRAM locations or 16 RTC register addresses |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus for SRAM read/write and RTC register access |
| E | Chip enable | Active-low signal enabling memory access; high-Z state during power-fail deselect |
| G | Output enable | Controls DQ0–DQ7 output drivers independently of E; prevents bus contention during partial cycles |
| W | WRITE enable | Active-low signal initiating WRITE cycle; combined with E determines write timing and bus direction |
| RST | Reset output | Open-drain active-low reset pulse generated on power-on or watchdog timeout |
| IRQ/FT | Interrupt / Frequency test | Open-drain output: alarm interrupt (low-active) or 32.768 kHz square wave for software calibration |
| WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input resetting watchdog timer; failure to toggle causes RST assertion |
| VCC | Supply voltage | 3.0–3.6 V main power; monitored continuously for VPFD/VSO thresholds |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return for all analog/digital circuits including RTC oscillator and voltage sense |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated RTC + SRAM + battery + crystal | Single-component solution eliminating discrete backup power, oscillator, and timekeeping ICs |
| SNAPHAT®-ready SOH44 package | Enables surface-mount assembly before battery/crystal installation-prevents reflow damage |
| Programmable alarm in battery backup mode | Allows system wake-up from deep sleep without main power, reducing overall energy consumption |
| Microprocessor power-on reset (battery-backed) | Valid reset pulse generated even during VCC loss-ensures deterministic boot after brownout recovery |
| Battery low flag (BL) | Read-only status bit alerts firmware of end-of-life battery condition before data retention fails |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery-backed RTC+SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1742W-120+ (Maxim Integrated) | 5 V only (4.5–5.5 V); no watchdog timer; uses external crystal; 10-year retention | Requires level-shifting for 3.3 V systems; lacks integrated alarm interrupt and frequency test output | Select if legacy 5 V design exists and watchdog functionality is unnecessary |
| PCF2129AT/1 (NXP) | I²C interface only; no parallel SRAM; 3.0–5.5 V; 10-year retention; integrated crystal | Cannot replace parallel-memory functions; requires firmware rewrite for serial communication | Choose only when redesigning for lower pin count and accepting loss of SRAM capacity |
Compared with DS1742W-120+ and PCF2129AT/1, the M48T37V-10MH1E uniquely combines 3.3 V parallel SRAM, integrated watchdog, alarm interrupt, and SNAPHAT®-enabled modular packaging-making it irreplaceable in space-constrained, battery-backed industrial controllers requiring deterministic timing and memory access.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the SNAPHAT® housing, and is it included with M48T37V-10MH1E?
The SNAPHAT® housing (e.g., M4T28-BR12SH) contains the 32.768 kHz crystal and lithium coin cell battery, and mounts directly onto the SOH44 package after reflow soldering to prevent thermal damage. It is not included with M48T37V-10MH1E-the SOIC and SNAPHAT® are shipped separately in anti-static tubes or tape-and-reel format per ST's ordering scheme.
How does the M48T37V-10MH1E handle power transitions between VCC and battery backup?
When VCC drops below VSO (~2.5 V), the internal switch connects the lithium battery to maintain SRAM and RTC operation. At VPFD (2.7–3.0 V), WRITE protection activates automatically. Upon VCC recovery above VPFD(max), normal operation resumes after tREC (100 ms typical), with no data corruption if power failure duration stays within specification limits.
Can the alarm function operate while the main system power is off?
Yes-the alarm is fully functional in battery backup mode. When enabled via ABE bit (register 7FF6h), the alarm generates an active-low pulse on IRQ/FT even with VCC = 0 V, allowing wake-up of external circuitry or microcontroller from deep sleep without main power.
What is the significance of the "10MH1E" suffix in the part number?
"10" indicates 100 ns maximum access time; "M" denotes SOH44 package; "H" specifies SNAPHAT®-compatible top-socket version; "1" is revision code; "E" signifies RoHS-compliant, lead-free second-level interconnect-fully aligned with ST's Doc ID 7019 Rev 9 specification.
