Product details
Overview
M48Z35Y-70MH1E from STMicroelectronics is a 256 Kbit (32 K × 8) non-volatile ZEROPOWER® SRAM with integrated lithium battery, power-fail detection circuitry, and automatic write protection. It operates at 4.5–5.5 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 M48Z35Y-70MH1E datasheet, M48Z35Y-70MH1E pinout, M48Z35Y-70MH1E application, or M48Z35Y-70MH1E equivalent, key selection criteria include VPFD voltage window (4.2–4.5 V), SOH28 package compatibility with SNAPHAT® top, battery-backed data retention under 0–70 °C, and JEDEC 32K×8 SRAM pin/function equivalence.
Technical Context
The M48Z35Y integrates a 32 K × 8 static RAM array, voltage-sense switching circuitry, and lithium cell management logic on a single die. Its power-fail detection triggers write protection when VCC falls within the 4.2–4.5 V VPFD window and switches to battery backup below 3.0 V (VSO).
It supports standard SRAM timing modes: READ (E low, G low, W high), WRITE (E low, W low), and battery-retention mode (VCC < VSO). All I/Os enter high-impedance state during power fail, and outputs remain undriven until tAVQV (70 ns) after address stabilization under CL = 100 pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 256 Kbit (32 K × 8) - provides byte-wide non-volatile storage without EEPROM wear limits |
| Access time | 70 ns - matches JEDEC-standard SRAM timing for drop-in replacement in legacy designs |
| VCC range | 4.5–5.5 V - supports wider supply tolerance than M48Z35 (4.75–5.5 V), easing system-level margining |
| VPFD range | 4.2–4.5 V - lower power-fail threshold enables earlier write protection during gradual brownouts |
| VSO | 3.0 V - switchover voltage at which internal lithium cell powers memory, ensuring data integrity |
| Battery life | ≥11 years at 25 °C - enables long-term unattended operation in metering and logging applications |
| Operating temp | 0–70 °C - qualified for commercial/industrial ambient environments without derating |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOH28 - 28-pin plastic small-outline package with gold-plated contacts for direct mating with SNAPHAT® battery housing (M4Z28-BR00SH1). Designed for surface-mount assembly followed by post-reflow battery attachment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address inputs | 15-bit address bus supporting full 32 Kbyte addressing; compatible with standard microcontroller address lines |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | 8-bit bidirectional data bus with three-state control via E/G; meets TTL/CMOS voltage thresholds |
| E | Chip enable | Active-low chip select; must be held high during VCC ramp-up to prevent inadvertent writes |
| G | Output enable | Active-low output control; used with E to manage bus contention during READ cycles |
| W | Write enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge initiates WRITE; requires tDVWH = 30 ns data setup before edge |
| VCC | Supply voltage | Primary 4.5–5.5 V power rail; monitored continuously for VPFD/VSO thresholds |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all digital and analog circuitry; decoupling required per Figure 9 |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar non-volatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cypress CY14B101P-BA25XI | 4 Mbit nvSRAM; 25 ns access; separate VCAP capacitor required for backup | Higher density but needs external capacitor and layout space; no integrated battery | Select when >32 KB non-volatility is required and board area allows VCAP placement |
| Renesas R1EX24128ASAS0I | 128 Kbit serial EEPROM; I²C interface; 1 MHz max clock; no SRAM speed or parallel interface | Serial interface only; 5 ms write cycle vs. instant SRAM write; no battery integration | Select only for low-pin-count systems where parallel bus is unavailable and write latency is acceptable |

FAQ
What is the purpose of the SNAPHAT® top, and is it included with M48Z35Y-70MH1E?
The SNAPHAT® top (part number M4Z28-BR00SH1) contains a 48 mAh lithium button cell and mounts directly onto the SOH28 package after reflow soldering. It is not included with M48Z35Y-70MH1E-both components are ordered separately per Table 16. This separation prevents battery exposure to soldering temperatures above 125 °C, preserving cell longevity and safety.
How does the M48Z35Y respond to VCC noise or negative transients during battery backup mode?
During battery backup (VCC < VSO), negative VCC undershoots below –0.3 V are strictly prohibited on any pin, as they can corrupt stored data. ST recommends placing a Schottky diode (cathode to VCC, anode to VSS) and a 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor near the device to clamp transients and absorb energy spikes caused by switching or power cycling.
Can M48Z35Y-70MH1E be used as a direct replacement for standard 32K×8 SRAMs like IS61LV25616AL?
Yes-it is pin- and function-compatible with JEDEC-standard 32K×8 SRAMs. Address, data, and control signals (A0–A14, DQ0–DQ7, E, G, W) match exactly. No timing or voltage interface changes are needed. However, VCC must remain within 4.5–5.5 V, and E must be held high during power-up to avoid spurious writes during VPFD recovery.
What is the minimum VCC fall time required to ensure reliable power-fail detection and data retention?
To guarantee write protection activation before data corruption, VCC must fall from VPFD(max) to VPFD(min) in ≥300 µs (tF). Faster drops may delay deselection by up to 200 µs after crossing VPFD(min). For full data retention, VCC must then fall from VPFD(min) to VSS in ≥10 µs (tFB); sub-10 µs transitions risk RAM array corruption.
