DESCRIPTION
The DS1245W 3.3V 1024k Nonvolatile SRAM is a 1,048,576-bit, fully static, nonvolatile SRAM
organized as 131,072 words by 8 bits. Each NV SRAM has a self-contained lithium energy source and
c on tr ol c irc uitry whi c h c ons ta n tl y mon itor s VCC fo r an out-of-toler a nc e c o nd itio n. Whe n s uch a cond ition
occurs, the lithium energy source is automatically switched on and write protection is unconditionally
enab led to pr event data corruption . DIP-package DS 1245W devices can be us ed in place of existing 128k
x 8 stat ic RAMs direct ly confor ming to the popula r bytew ide 32-pin DIP standard. DS1245W devices in
t he Power Cap Mod ule p ackage ar e d ir ect ly sur fac e mo unt able and are nor mally p aired wit h a DS9034PC
PowerCap to form a complete Nonvolatile SRAM module. There is no limit on the number of write
cycles that can be execut ed and no additio nal supp ort cir cuitry is required for microp r ocesso r interfac ing.
READ MODE
The DS1245W executes a read cycle whenever
(Write Enable) is inactive (high) and
(Chip
Ena ble ) and
(Output Enable) are active (low). The unique address specified by the 17 address inputs
(A0 - A16) de fines which of the 131,0 72 bytes of data is to be accessed. Valid data will be a vailable t o t he
e ig ht dat a out put dr ivers w it hin t ACC (Access T ime) after the last address input sig nal is stable, providing
that
and
(Output Enable) access times are also satisfied. If
and
access times are not
sat isfied, t he n dat a acces s must be measur ed fro m t he lat er o ccurr ing s ignal (

parameter is either tCO for

WRITE MODE
The DS1245W executes a write cycle whenever the
and

input s are stab le. The lat er occu r r ing fa ll ing edge of

DATA RETENTION MODE
The DS1245W provides full fu nctional capabilit y fo r VCC great er t han 3.0 vo lt s and wr ite pr ot ect s by 2.8
vo lt s. Dat a is ma inta ined in t he abse nce o f VCC w ithout any add itio nal suppor t circuit ry. The nonvo latile
static RAMs constantly monitor VCC. Should the supply voltage decay, the NV SRAMs automatically
writ e protect t he mselve s, all input s become “don’t car e, ” and a l l o utputs become h ig h i mpeda nc e. 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 2.5 volts, the power
switching circuit connects external VCC to RAM and disconnects the lithium energy source. Normal
RAM op er ation can resu me after VCC exceeds 3.0 vol ts.

PACKAGES
The DS1245W is available in two packages: 32-pin DIP and 34-pin PowerCap Module (PCM). The 32-
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
