DESCRIPTION
The DS1225AB and DS1225AD are 65,536-bit, fully static, nonvolatile SRAMs 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 unconditio nally enabled to prevent
data corruption. The NV SRAMs can be used in place of existing 8k x 8 SRAMs directly conforming to
the popular bytewide 28-p in DIP standard. The devices also match the pinout of the 2764 EPROM and
the 2864 EEPROM, a llow ing dir ect s ubst itut ion wh ile en hanc ing pe rfor mance. Ther e is no lim it on t he
number of write cycles that can be executed and no additional support circuitry is required for
microprocesso r inter facing.

READ MODE
DS1225AB/AD
The DS1225AB and DS1225AD execute a read c ycle whenever
(Write Enable) is inactive (high) and
(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 t
stable, providing that CE and
access t imes a re als o sat isfied . If CE and
(Access T ime) after the last address input signal is
ACC
access t imes are not
satisfied, then data access must be measured fro m the later-oc cu rr ing s ig na l a nd t he li miting pa r a meter is
either tCO for CE or tOE for OE rather than address access.
WRITE MODE
The DS1225AB and DS1225AD execute a write cycle whenever the
(low) after addr ess inputs are st able. The later-occurring falling edge of CE or

DATA RETENTION MODE
The DS1225AB provides full functional capability for VCC greater than 4.75 volts and write protects by
4.5 volts. The DS1225AD provides full-fu nctiona l capabilit y for VCC greater than 4.5 volts and write
protects by 4.25 volts. Data is maintained in the a bsence of VCC without any add itional support circuitry.
The nonvolatile stat ic RAMs constantly monitor VCC. Should the supply vo ltage decay, the NV SRAMs
automatically write protect themselves, all inputs become “don’t care,” and all outputs become highimpedance. As VCC falls below approximately 3.0 vo lts, the power switching circuit connect s the lithiu m
energy source to RAM to r etain data. During power-up , when VCC rises above approximately 3.0 volts,
the power sw itching c ircuit connect s external VCC to RAM and disconnects the lithium energy source.
Normal RAM operat ion can resu me after VCC exceeds 4.75 volts for the DS1225AB and 4.5 volts for the
DS1225AD.
FRESHNESS SEAL
Each DS1225 is shipped from Maxim with the lithium energy source disconnected, guaranteeing full
energy capacity. Whe n VCC is first applied at a level of great er than VTP , the lithium energ y source is
enabled for batt er y backup operation.
