Product details
Overview
M48Z35-70PC1 from STMicroelectronics is a 256 Kbit (32 K × 8) non-volatile ZEROPOWER® SRAM with integrated lithium battery, power-fail detection, and automatic write protection. It operates at 4.75–5.5 V, features 70 ns read/write cycle time, and retains data for ≥11 years on internal battery during power loss. Used in industrial control panels for real-time parameter storage during brownouts.
For engineers reviewing the M48Z35-70PC1 datasheet, M48Z35-70PC1 pinout, M48Z35-70PC1 application, or M48Z35-70PC1 equivalent, key selection criteria include VPFD window (4.5–4.75 V), CAPHAT™ DIP-28 integration, battery-backed data retention without external circuitry, and JEDEC 32K×8 SRAM compatibility for ROM/EPROM socket replacement.
Technical Context
The M48Z35-70PC1 integrates a 32 K × 8 static RAM array, voltage-sense switching circuitry, and a lithium button cell into a monolithic die housed in a CAPHAT™ 28-pin PDIP package. Its power-fail logic monitors VCC continuously and initiates write protection when voltage drops into the 4.5–4.75 V VPFD window.
Upon VCC falling below 3.0 V (VSO), the device seamlessly switches to internal battery power while maintaining high-impedance I/Os and preserving all stored data. The architecture supports ripple-through read access and requires no special write timing-functionally identical to standard JEDEC SRAMs but with inherent non-volatility.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 256 Kbit (32 K × 8); provides byte-wide interface compatible with legacy microcontroller address/data buses. |
| Access time | 70 ns; matches standard 32K×8 SRAM timing, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs. |
| VCC range | 4.75–5.5 V; ensures stable operation across industrial 5 V rails with ±5% tolerance. |
| VPFD window | 4.5–4.75 V; triggers automatic chip deselect and write protection before system-level data corruption occurs. |
| VSO threshold | 3.0 V; initiates battery switchover to preserve data integrity during deep brownouts or complete power loss. |
| Battery life | ≥11 years at 25 °C; eliminates need for periodic battery replacement in sealed industrial equipment. |
| Operating temp | 0 to 70 °C; validated for use in commercial and industrial control environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin plastic DIP (PDIP 28.7) with integrated CAPHAT™ battery housing - fully self-contained, no external battery or backup circuitry required.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address inputs | 15-bit address bus supporting full 32 Kbyte addressing; compatible with standard 8-bit microcontroller address latches. |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus with three-state outputs controlled by E and G; supports shared system data bus. |
| E | Chip enable | Active-low enable; places device in standby (high-Z) when high; required low for read/write access. |
| G | Output enable | Active-low output control; enables data output only when E is also low; prevents bus contention. |
| W | Write enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates write cycle when E and W both low; defines write timing window. |
| VCC | Power supply | Primary 5 V supply input; monitored for power-fail detection; powers SRAM and control logic. |
| VSS | Ground | System reference ground; must be low-impedance connection to prevent noise-induced VPFD mis-triggering. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated CAPHAT™ package | Single-component solution with embedded lithium battery - eliminates PCB space, assembly steps, and external backup circuit design. |
| Automatic power-fail response | Hardware-level VPFD detection and write protection activation within defined voltage window - no firmware or external supervisor IC needed. |
| JEDEC 32K×8 compatibility | Pins and functions match industry-standard SRAMs - enables direct socket replacement in ROM/EPROM-based systems without layout changes. |
| Zero external timing constraints | No special write pulse widths or setup/hold requirements beyond standard SRAM timing - simplifies controller interface design. |
| Lithium battery isolation | CAPHAT™ mechanical design prevents thermal damage during wave soldering - allows safe through-hole assembly without battery removal. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery-backed SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maxim MAX6900 | Serial I²C interface; 64 Kbit; external battery required; no integrated CAPHAT™ package. | Requires additional level-shifting and firmware drivers; unsuitable for parallel-bus legacy systems. | Select only if board space is constrained and serial interface is already used in system architecture. |
| ON Semiconductor CAT1162 | Serial SPI EEPROM + supervisor; 64 Kbit; no SRAM functionality; relies on EEPROM write endurance (1M cycles). | Slower write speed; limited write cycles; no true SRAM performance or byte-write immediacy. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-write-frequency applications where SRAM speed is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6900 and CAT1162, the M48Z35-70PC1 delivers parallel-byte SRAM performance with zero external components, eliminating interface overhead and endurance limitations - making it optimal for legacy industrial systems requiring plug-compatible, high-reliability non-volatile memory.

FAQ
What is the battery chemistry and expected service life of the M48Z35-70PC1?
The M48Z35-70PC1 uses a non-rechargeable lithium carbon monofluoride (LiCFₓ) button cell integrated into its CAPHAT™ DIP package. At 25 °C and VCC = 0 V, it guarantees ≥11 years of data retention. Service life scales inversely with ambient temperature and battery self-discharge; actual field life exceeds 10 years in typical industrial enclosures.
Can the M48Z35-70PC1 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the M48Z35-70PC1 is exclusively offered in the 28-pin PDIP CAPHAT™ package, designed for through-hole mounting. ST does not offer a surface-mount variant of this specific part number. For SMT-compatible battery-backed SRAM, consider the M48Z35Y-70MH1F in SOH28 with separate SNAPHAT® top (M4Z28-BR00SH1), which requires post-reflow assembly.
How does the VPFD voltage window affect system-level power supply design?
The M48Z35-70PC1's VPFD window (4.5–4.75 V) defines the voltage band where automatic write protection activates. System designers must ensure the 5 V rail falls cleanly through this window - avoiding noise-induced false triggers - by using ≥0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per device and minimizing VCC trace inductance. Undershoot below –0.3 V during backup mode is strictly prohibited.
Is the M48Z35-70PC1 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the M48Z35-70PC1 is RoHS compliant and features lead-free second-level interconnects. Its PDIP package meets ECOPACK2 environmental standards. The integrated lithium battery is fully encapsulated and exempt from RoHS heavy metal restrictions under Annex II exemption 7a, as confirmed in ST's official environmental documentation (DocID02608 Rev 12, Section 8).
