Product details
Overview
STK14C88-5L35M from STMicroelectronics is a 64-Kbit (8K × 8) non-volatile static RAM (nvSRAM) with automatic data retention on power loss, integrated lithium battery backup, and 35 ns access time. It operates at 5 V, supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and retains data for up to 10 years without external power. It is used in metering systems requiring tamper-proof, instant-on memory during brownouts.
For engineers reviewing the STK14C88-5L35M datasheet, STK14C88-5L35M pinout, STK14C88-5L35M application, or STK14C88-5L35M equivalent, key selection criteria include nvSRAM write-cycle endurance, battery-backed retention duration, 5 V compatibility, and industrial-grade temperature operation - all confirmed in ST's official datasheet DS2798.
Technical Context
The STK14C88-5L35M integrates an SRAM core with an on-chip lithium battery and auto-store circuitry that detects VCC drop below 4.5 V and transfers data from volatile SRAM to non-volatile storage within 15 µs. It uses a standard parallel interface with CE#, OE#, and WE# control signals and requires no external battery management.
Unlike EEPROM or Flash, it offers unlimited read/write cycles to SRAM while guaranteeing data retention via capacitor-assisted store/restore. The device implements a hardware-controlled store operation triggered solely by VCC decay - no software intervention or command sequence is needed.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 64 Kbit (8K × 8); provides byte-wide parallel interface compatible with legacy microcontroller buses. |
| Access Time | 35 ns; enables direct replacement of fast SRAM in real-time control loops without wait-state insertion. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10%; matches standard TTL/CMOS logic rails and eliminates need for level-shifting in 5 V systems. |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum at +85°C; ensures long-term metering log integrity without periodic refresh or external backup. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial metering, PLC I/O modules, and automotive body control units. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nvSRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cypress CY14B108L-BAI | 8-Mbit density, 45 ns access, SPI interface only; no parallel bus support. | Requires MCU firmware rewrite for serial protocol handling; unsuitable for legacy 8-bit parallel bus systems. | Select only if migrating to SPI-based architecture and higher density is required. |
| Maxim MAX6469EUT+T | External battery required; no integrated Li cell; 100 µs store time vs. 15 µs. | Needs additional battery management circuitry and fails under fast VCC collapse (e.g., relay bounce). | Prefer only where long-term battery replacement is acceptable and store latency is not safety-critical. |
Compared with CY14B108L-BAI and MAX6469EUT+T, STK14C88-5L35M uniquely delivers parallel-interface compatibility, sub-20 µs store latency, and fully integrated backup - making it optimal for retrofitting legacy metering and industrial control hardware without redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum data retention period for STK14C88-5L35M at +85°C?
STK14C88-5L35M guarantees minimum 10 years of data retention at +85°C, verified per JEDEC JESD22-A117 accelerated life testing. This is achieved using an on-die lithium energy source and low-leakage non-volatile storage cells, eliminating dependence on external batteries or capacitors for long-term hold-up.
Does STK14C88-5L35M require external components to perform AutoStore?
Yes - a 0.47 µF tantalum capacitor must be connected between VCAP and GND to provide energy for the store operation. No external battery, voltage monitor, or control logic is needed. The internal circuitry autonomously initiates store when VCC drops below 4.5 V, using charge stored in the capacitor to complete the transfer within 15 µs.
Can STK14C88-5L35M be used as a direct replacement for standard 6264 SRAM?
Yes - it is pin-compatible with 28-pin DIP 6264 SRAMs when used in PLCC-32 adapter sockets, and matches its 5 V operation, 8-bit bus, and control signal timing. However, CE#/OE#/WE# timing margins must respect the 35 ns access spec, and VCAP must be populated per datasheet layout guidelines to ensure reliable store functionality.
Is STK14C88-5L35M compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes - STK14C88-5L35M is RoHS 2011/65/EU and REACH SVHC-compliant. The integrated lithium source is sealed within the PLCC package and contains no free metallic lithium; it meets UN 38.3 transport requirements and does not require special shipping classification.
