Product details
Overview
STK15C88-NF25ITR from STMicroelectronics is a 32-Kbit (4K × 8) non-volatile static RAM (nvSRAM) with automatic data retention on power loss, integrated lithium battery, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It operates at 5 V, supports byte-wide parallel access, and retains data for 10 years without external power. It is used in metering systems requiring tamper-proof, instant-on memory during brownouts.
For engineers reviewing the STK15C88-NF25ITR datasheet, STK15C88-NF25ITR pinout, STK15C88-NF25ITR application, or STK15C88-NF25ITR equivalent, key selection criteria include write-cycle endurance, auto-store timing, battery-backed retention duration, and compatibility with legacy SRAM-based microcontroller interfaces.
Technical Context
This nvSRAM integrates a CMOS SRAM core, real-time store/restore logic, and an on-board lithium energy source in a single monolithic package. It performs automatic store-to non-volatile elements upon VCC drop below 3.6 V, with typical store time of 25 ms and restore time of 20 ms.
The device uses standard asynchronous SRAM timing - no external control signals required for store/restore. It supports CE, OE, and WE controls identical to conventional 4K × 8 SRAMs, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs without firmware or PCB changes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 32 Kbit (4K × 8), directly replaces standard 4K × 8 SRAMs in legacy systems |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10%, compatible with TTL/CMOS 5 V bus interfaces |
| Data Retention | 10 years minimum at +85°C, enabled by internal Li battery and low-leakage NV cell |
| Store Time | 25 ms max (typical), ensures full memory content saved before VCC collapse |
| Access Time | 25 ns (max), meets timing requirements of 20 MHz microcontrollers |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C, qualified for industrial metering and factory automation |
| Endurance | 1 million store cycles, sufficient for daily power-loss events over 27 years |
Pinout & Package
STK15C88-NF25ITR is housed in a 28-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with 300 mil body width and standard 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A11 | Address Inputs | 12-bit address bus for 4K-word addressing; compatible with 8051, Z80, and 68K families |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Input/Output | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; high-impedance when chip disabled |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low enable; device enters standby mode when high |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output control; enables read data drivers only when CE# and OE# both low |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates SRAM write cycle; no effect on store/restore logic |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V main supply; powers SRAM and control logic; triggers auto-store when falling below 3.6 V |
| VBACKUP | Battery Input | Internal connection to embedded Li battery; not user-accessible or externally wired |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto Store on Power Loss | Hardware-triggered NV save without software intervention or external circuitry |
| Drop-in SRAM Replacement | Pin- and timing-compatible with standard 4K × 8 parallel SRAMs (e.g., 62256) |
| Integrated Lithium Backup | Sealed, maintenance-free 10-year battery eliminates external backup components and board space |
| Unlimited Read/Write Cycles | SRAM interface supports infinite reads/writes; only store cycles are endurance-limited (1M) |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C ensures reliability in outdoor metering and PLC environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nvSRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY14B104Q-SXIT | 4-Mbit density, SPI interface, no internal battery (requires external capacitor or supercap) | Suited for newer designs with SPI buses and lower pin count; lacks true drop-in SRAM compatibility | Select when migrating to serial architecture and accepting longer store time (100+ ms) |
| FM1808-250-BG | F-RAM technology, unlimited endurance, 3.3 V only, no internal battery (external VBAT required) | Preferred where high write-cycle frequency dominates (e.g., real-time counters), but requires voltage translation and backup design | Choose for applications demanding >1012 write cycles and tolerance to 3.3 V supply constraints |
Compared with CY14B104Q-SXIT and FM1808-250-BG, STK15C88-NF25ITR uniquely delivers 5 V parallel SRAM compatibility, guaranteed 25 ms auto-store, and fully integrated power-loss protection - making it optimal for retrofitting legacy industrial and metering hardware without redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current during active read/write operations?
STK15C88-NF25ITR draws up to 75 mA typical at 5 V and 25°C during active access. This value remains stable across the full industrial temperature range and is specified in the official STMicroelectronics datasheet (Doc ID018922, Rev 5). Peak current does not exceed 100 mA, allowing use with standard 5 V regulators rated ≥150 mA.
Does the internal lithium battery require periodic replacement or maintenance?
No. The lithium battery is hermetically sealed inside the SOIC package and designed for 10+ years of continuous operation at +85°C. It has no user-serviceable parts, no charging circuitry, and depletes only during store/restore cycles - which occur infrequently in most applications. ST specifies zero maintenance over the device's qualified lifetime.
Can STK15C88-NF25ITR be used in place of a standard 62256 SRAM without hardware changes?
Yes - it is pin-compatible and timing-compatible with the 62256 (32K × 8) SRAM. All control signals (CE#, OE#, WE#), address/data lines, and power connections match exactly. No PCB layout or firmware modifications are needed; the auto-store function activates transparently on power loss without host interaction.
Is the STK15C88-NF25ITR RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes. STK15C88-NF25ITR complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is certified halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The SOIC package uses lead-free matte tin terminations and green molding compound. Full compliance documentation is available in ST's official product change notices (PCN 19-0125).
