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 V
CC
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 SRAMs can be used in place of existing 8k x 8 SRAMs directly conforming to
the popular bytewide 28-pin DIP standard. The devices also match the pinout of the 2764 EPROM and
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
microprocessor interfacing.

DS1225AB/AD
READ MODE
The DS1225AB and DS1225AD execute 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 (A
0
-A
12
) 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
ACC
(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 t
CO
for
CE
or t
OE
for
OE
rather than address access.
WRITE MODE
The DS1225AB and DS1225AD execute 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 (t
WR
) 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 t
ODW
from its falling edge.
DATA RETENTION MODE
The DS1225AB provides full functional capability for V
CC
greater than 4.75 volts and write protects by
4.5 volts. The DS1225AD provides full-functional capability for V
CC
greater than 4.5 volts and write
protects by 4.25 volts. Data is maintained in the absence of V
CC
without any additional support circuitry.
The nonvolatile static RAMs constantly monitor V
CC
. Should the supply voltage decay, the NV SRAMs
automatically write protect themselves, all inputs become “don’t care,” and all outputs become high-
impedance. As V
CC
falls below approximately 3.0 volts, the power switching circuit connects the lithium
energy source to RAM to retain data. During power-up, when V
CC
rises above approximately 3.0 volts,
the power switching circuit connects external V
CC
to RAM and disconnects the lithium energy source.
Normal RAM operation can resume after V
CC
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. When V
CC
is first applied at a level of greater than V
TP
, the lithium energy source is
enabled for battery backup operation.
