DS1210 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The DS1210 Nonvolatile Controller Chip by Dallas Semiconductor is designed to convert standard CMOS RAM into nonvolatile memory. It achieves this by monitoring incoming power and automatically switching to battery backup when a power-fail condition is detected. This ensures data integrity by preventing writes during power fluctuations.

 

Key features include unconditional write protection when VCC is out-of-tolerance and automatic switching to battery power during power failures. The device consumes less than 100nA of battery current and includes a battery condition test on power-up. It offers optional 5% or 10% power-fail detection and a low forward voltage drop on the VCC switch.

 

The DS1210 is available in space-saving 8-pin PDIP or 16-pin SO packages. It supports redundant batteries and an optional industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This controller is ideal for applications requiring reliable data retention in the event of power interruptions, such as data logging or memory backup systems.
