READ MODE
The DS1225AB and DS1225AD execut e a r ead cycle w hene ver
(Wr ite Enable) is inactive (high) a nd
(Chip Enable) and
(Output Enable) are active (low). The unique address specified by the 13
address inputs (A0 -A12) defines which of the 8192 bytes of data is to be accessed. Valid data will be
available to the eight data output drivers within tACC (Access Time) after the last address input signal is
stable, providing that
and
access times are also satisfied. If

access times are not

WRITE MODE
The DS1225AB and DS1225AD execute a write cycle whenever the

DATA RETENTION MODE
The DS1225AB provides full functional capability for VCC greater than 4.75 volts and write protects by
4.5 volts. The DS1225AD provides full-functional capability for VCC greater than 4.5 volts and write
prot ect s by 4.25 volts. Dat a is maint a ined in the a bsence of VCC without any add it ional suppo rt c ircu it ry.
The nonvolat ile static RAMs constantly mo nitor VCC. Should the supply vo ltage decay, the NV SRAMs
automatically write protect themselves, all inputs become “don’t care,” and all outputs become high-
impedanc e. As V CC falls belo w appro ximately 3.0 vo lt s, t he po wer swit ching circuit connect s the lithiu m
energy source to RAM to retain data. During power-up, when VCC rises above approximately 3.0 volts,
the power switching circuit connects external VCC to RAM and disconnects the lithium energy source.
No rma l RAM o perat ion can re sume after VCC exceeds 4.75 vo lt s fo r the DS1225AB and 4.5 vo lt s for t he
DS1225AD.
FRESH NESS SEAL
Each DS1225 is shipped from Maxim with the lithium energy source disconnected, guaranteeing full
energy capacity. When VCC is first applied at a level of greater than VTP , the lithium energy source is
enabled for bat tery backup o p er ation.
