DESCRIPTION
The DS1225Y 64k Nonvolatile SRAM is a 65,536-bit, fully static, nonvolatile RAM organized as 8192
words by 8 bits. Each NV SRAM has a self-contained lithium energy source and control circuitry which
constantly monitors VCC for an out-of-tolerance condition. When such a condition occurs, the lithium
energy source is automatically switched on and write protection is unconditionally enabled to prevent
data corruption. The NV SRAM can be used in place of existing 8k x 8 SRAMs directly conforming to
the popular bytewide 28-pin DIP standard. The DS1225Y also matches the pinout of the 2764 EPROM or
the 2864 EEPROM, allowing direct substitution while enhancing performance. There is no limit on the
number of write cycles that can be executed and no additional support circuitry is required for micro-
processor interfacing.

READ MODE
The DS1225Y executes a read cycle whenever WE (Write Enable) is inactive (high) and CE (Chip
Enable) and OE (Output Enable) are active (low). The unique address specified by the 13 address inputs
(A0-A12) defines which of the 8192 bytes of data is to be accessed. Valid data will be available to the
eight data output drivers within tACC (Access Time) after the last address input signal is stable, providing
that CE and OE access times are also satisfied. If CE and OE access times are not satisfied, then data
access must be measured from the later-occurring signal and the limiting parameter is either tCO for CE
or tOE for OE rather than address access.
WRITE MODE
The DS1225Y executes a write cycle whenever the WE and CE signals are active (low) after address
inputs are stable. The later-occurring falling edge of CE or WE will determine the start of the write
cycle. The write cycle is terminated by the earlier rising edge of CE or WE . All address inputs must be
kept valid throughout the write cycle. WE must return to the high state for a minimum recovery time
(tWR ) before another cycle can be initiated. The OE control signal should be kept inactive (high) during
write cycles to avoid bus contention. However, if the output drivers are enabled (CE and OE active) then
WE will disable the outputs in tODW from its falling edge.
DATA RETENTION MODE
The DS1225Y provides full functional capability for VCC greater than 4.5 volts and write protects at 4.25
nominal. Data is maintained in the absence of VCC without any additional support circuitry. The
DS1225Y constantly monitors VCC. Should the supply voltage decay, the NV SRAM automatically write
protects itself, all inputs become “don’t care,” and all outputs become high impedance. As VCC falls
below approximately 3.0 volts, a power switching circuit connects the lithium energy source to RAM to
retain data. During power-up, when VCC rises above approximately 3.0 volts, the power switching circuit
connects external VCC to RAM and disconnects the lithium energy source. Normal RAM operation can
resume after VCC exceeds 4.5 volts.

WARNING:
Under no circumstance are negative undershoots, of any amplitude, allowed when device is in battery
backup mode.
NOTES:
1. WE is high for a read cycle.
2. OE = VIH or VIL. If OE = VIH during a write cycle, the output buffers remain in a high impedance
state.
3. tWP is specified as the logical AND of CE and WE . tWP is measured from the latter of CE or WE
going low to the earlier of CE or WE going high.
4. tDS is measured from the earlier of CE or WE going high.
5. These parameters are sampled with a 5 pF load and are not 100% tested.
6. If the CE low transition occurs simultaneously with or later than the WE low transition in Write
Cycle 1, the output buffers remain in a high-impedance state during this period.
7. If the CE high transition occurs prior to or simultaneously with the WE high transition, the output
buffers remain in a high-impedance state during this period.

DS1225Y
8. If WE is low or the WE low transition occurs prior to or simultaneously with the CE low transition,
the output buffers remain in a high-impedance state during this period.
9. Each DS1225Y is marked with a 4-digit date code AABB. AA designates the year of manufacture.
BB designates the week of manufacture. The expected tDR is defined as starting at the date of
manufacture.
10. All AC and DC electrical characteristics are valid over the full operating temperature range. For
commercial products, this range is 0°C to 70°C. For industrial products (IND), this range is -40°C to
+85°C.
11. In a power down condition the voltage on any pin may not exceed the voltage on VCC.
12. tWR1 , tDH1 are measured from WE going high.
13. tWR2 , tDH2 are measured from CE going high.
14. DS1225Y modules are recognized by Underwriters Laboratory (U.L.) under file E99151 (R).
