DESCRIPTION

The DS1251Y 4096K NV SRAM with Phantom Clock is a fully static nonvolatile RAM (organized as 512K words by 8 bits) with a built–in real time clock. The DS1251Y 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 garbled data in both the memory and real time clock.

FEATURES

• Real time clock keeps track of hundredths of seconds, minutes, hours, days, date of the month, months, and years

• 512K x 8 NV SRAM directly replaces volatile static RAM or EEPROM

• Embedded lithium energy cell maintains calendar operation and retains RAM data

• Watch function is transparent to RAM operation

• Month and year determine the number of days in each month; valid up to 2100

• Standard 32–pin JEDEC pinout

• Full 10 operating range

• Operating temperature range 0°C to 70°C

• Accuracy is better than ±1 minute/month @ 25°C

• Over 10 years of data retention in the absence of power

• Available in 120 ns and 150 ns access time
