Product details
Overview
STK15C88-SF45 from STMicroelectronics is a 8-Kbit (1K × 8) non-volatile static RAM (nvSRAM) with automatic data retention on power loss, integrated lithium battery backup, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It operates at 5 V ±10%, features 45 ns access time, and retains data for 10 years without external power. It is used in industrial PLCs, metering systems, and network routers requiring instant-on, fail-safe memory.
For engineers reviewing the STK15C88-SF45 datasheet, STK15C88-SF45 pinout, STK15C88-SF45 application, or STK15C88-SF45 equivalent, key selection criteria include write-cycle endurance, battery-backed retention duration, SRAM compatibility, and industrial-grade reliability under brownout conditions.
Technical Context
The STK15C88-SF45 integrates a standard asynchronous SRAM core with an on-chip controller that monitors VCC and automatically transfers data to internal non-volatile storage during power failure. It uses ferroelectric capacitor-based storage cells-not flash-enabling unlimited write cycles and zero write delay.
It supports TTL-compatible inputs, has separate chip enable (CE), output enable (OE), and write enable (WE) controls, and requires no external battery management circuitry. The device performs automatic store on power-down and restore on power-up without host intervention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 8 Kbit (1024 × 8): Full byte-wide interface compatible with legacy microcontroller address/data buses. |
| Access time | 45 ns max: Enables direct replacement of standard SRAM in high-speed control loops without timing redesign. |
| Supply voltage | 5.0 V ±10%: Matches legacy 5 V logic systems; no level-shifting required for interfacing with 8051, Z80, or older FPGA controllers. |
| Data retention | 10 years minimum at +85°C: Guarantees long-term data integrity in sealed industrial enclosures without maintenance. |
| Write endurance | Unlimited (no wear-out mechanism): Eliminates write-cycle limits inherent in EEPROM/flash, critical for logging applications with frequent updates. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C: Qualified for extended industrial environments including factory automation and outdoor utility meters. |
Pinout & Package
STK15C88-SF45 is housed in a 28-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with 300-mil body width and standard 1.27 mm pitch. Pinout conforms to JEDEC MS-012AC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A9 | Address inputs | 10-bit address bus supporting full 1K-word addressing; compatible with 8-bit microcontrollers using multiplexed or dedicated address lines. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional data bus | True 8-bit parallel interface; supports read-modify-write operations without external latches or direction control. |
| CE# | Chip enable (active low) | Enables device only when asserted; allows multi-chip memory expansion with standard address decoding. |
| OE# | Output enable (active low) | Controls data bus drivers independently of CE#, enabling shared-bus arbitration and low-power standby. |
| WE# | Write enable (active low) | Initiates SRAM write or auto-store sequence; no additional strobes or handshaking required. |
| VCC | Power supply | 5 V primary supply; powers SRAM core and control logic; triggers store operation when falling below 4.5 V. |
| VBACKUP | Battery backup input | Connects to internal Li battery; maintains nvSRAM state during main power outage-no external battery needed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic store/restore | Zero-software overhead: Hardware-initiated data transfer between SRAM and NV cell on power loss/gain-no firmware driver required. |
| No external battery | Integrated lithium energy source: Eliminates board space, solder joints, and field-replacement logistics associated with discrete coin cells. |
| TTL-compatible interface | Direct drop-in for legacy SRAM: Matches timing, voltage thresholds, and pinout of standard 28-pin 6264/62256 SRAMs-no PCB redesign. |
| Unlimited write cycles | Non-destructive storage mechanism: Ferroelectric storage enables continuous logging (e.g., event counters, configuration snapshots) without degradation. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nvSRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cypress CY14B108L-SXIT | 8-Mbit density, SPI interface, 3.3 V only, no integrated battery (requires external capacitor or battery). | Requires firmware SPI driver and external energy storage; suited for new designs with 3.3 V infrastructure and space-constrained layouts. | Select when migrating to serial interface and lower voltage rails; not pin-compatible or drop-in. |
| Maxim DS1248W+ | 8-Kbit parallel nvSRAM, 5 V, but uses external lithium battery and lacks auto-store timing optimization for fast brownouts. | Higher BOM cost and assembly complexity due to discrete battery; less robust under <100 µs power collapse. | Prefer only if legacy DS12xx footprint compatibility is mandatory and battery sourcing is already established. |
Compared with CY14B108L-SXIT and DS1248W+, STK15C88-SF45 offers superior integration (on-die battery), deterministic 45 ns timing, and seamless 5 V parallel drop-in capability-critical for retrofitting legacy industrial systems without redesign.

FAQ
What happens during a rapid power failure?
The STK15C88-SF45 detects VCC decay via an internal voltage monitor and initiates store within 150 ns of crossing the 4.5 V threshold. Data transfer completes in ≤20 µs using charge from the integrated lithium cell-no external capacitor or hold-up time design is needed.
Can it replace standard SRAM without changes to existing hardware?
Yes-STK15C88-SF45 uses identical pinout, timing, and electrical specifications as the industry-standard 28-pin 6264 SRAM. No PCB modification, firmware update, or timing adjustment is required for drop-in replacement in 5 V systems.
Is the internal battery replaceable or serviceable?
No-the lithium energy source is hermetically sealed within the SOIC package and not user-serviceable. Its 10-year minimum retention life is specified under worst-case thermal stress (85°C), ensuring field longevity without maintenance.
Does it support battery-free operation after initial power-up?
No-it requires continuous VCC to operate as SRAM. The internal battery only powers the non-volatile store/restore function during power loss; it does not enable standalone memory operation without VCC.
