DESCRIPTION
The DS1230 256k Nonvolatile SRAMs are 262,144-bit, fully static, nonvolatile SRAMs organized as
32,768 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. DIP-package DS1230 devices can be used in place of existing 32k x 8 static
RAMs directly conforming to the popular bytewide 28-pin DIP standard. The DIP devices also match the
pinout of 28256 EEPROMs, allowing direct substitution while enhancing performance. DS1230 devices
in the Low Profile Module package are specifically designed for surface-mount applications. There is no
limit on the number of write cycles that can be executed and no additional support circuitry is required for
microprocessor interfacing.
READ MODE
The DS1230 devices 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 15 address inputs
(A
0
- A
14
) defines which of the 32,768 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
(Output Enable) access times are also satisfied. If
OE
and
CE
access times are not
satisfied, then data access must be measured from the later-occurring signal (
CE
or
OE
) and the limiting
parameter is either t
CO
for
CE
or t
OE
for
OE
rather than address access.
WRITE MODE
The DS1230 devices 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 DS1230AB provides full functional capability for V
CC
greater than 4.75 volts and write protects by
4.5 volts. The DS1230Y 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, a 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 DS1230AB and 4.5 volts for the
DS1230Y.
FRESHNESS SEAL
Each DS1230 device is shipped from Maxim with its lithium energy source disconnected, guaranteeing
full energy capacity. When V
CC
is first applied at a level greater than 4.25 volts, the lithium energy source
is enabled for battery back-up operation.

PACKAGES
The DS1230 devices are available in two packages: 28-pin DIP and 34-pin PowerCap Module (PCM).
The 28-pin DIP integrates a lithium battery, an SRAM memory and a nonvolatile control function into a
single package with a JEDEC-standard, 600-mil DIP pinout. The 34-pin PowerCap Module integrates
SRAM memory and nonvolatile control along with contacts for connection to the lithium battery in the
DS9034PC PowerCap. The PowerCap Module package design allows a DS1230 PCM device to be
surface mounted without subjecting its lithium backup battery to destructive high-temperature reflow
soldering. After a DS1230 PCM is reflow soldered, a DS9034PC PowerCap is snapped on top of the
PCM to form a complete Nonvolatile SRAM module. The DS9034PC is keyed to prevent improper
attachment. DS1230 PowerCap Modules and DS9034PC PowerCaps are ordered separately and shipped
in separate containers. See the DS9034PC data sheet for further information.
