DATA RETENTION MODE
The DS1249AB provides full functional capability for VCC greater than 4.75 volts and write protects by
4.5 volts. The DS1249Y provides full-functional capability for VCC greater than 4.5 volts and write
prot ect s by 4. 25 vo lt s. Dat a is maint ained in the abse nce of VCC wit ho ut any add it io nal support c ircu it ry.
The nonvolatile static RAMs constantly mo nitor VCC. Should the supply voltage decay, the NV SRAMs
automatically write protects themselves, all inputs become “don’t care,” and all outputs become high
impedance. 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 3.0 volts,
t he po wer sw itching c ircuit connect s exter na l V CC to t he RAM and d iscon nect s the lithiu m e ner gy so ur ce.
No rma l RAM oper at io n can re su me after VCC exceeds 4.75 vo lt s fo r the DS1249AB and 4. 5 volts fo r t he
DS1249Y.
FRESHNESS SEAL
Each DS1249 device is shipped from Maxim with its lithium energy source disconnected, guaranteeing
full energy capacity. When VCC is first applied at a level greater than VTP, the lithium energy source is
enabled for bat ter y backup operation.
