DS1216D
080697 1/1
FEATURES
Converts standard 8K x 8, 32K x 8, 128K x 8, and
512K x 8 CMOS static RAMs into nonvolatile memory
Embedded lithium energy cell maintains watch infor-
mation and retains RAM data
W atch function is transparent to RAM operation
Keeps track of hundredths of seconds, seconds, min-
utes, hours, days, date of the month, months, and
years
Month and year determine the number of days in each
month; leap year compensation valid up to 2100
Lithium energy source is electrically disconnected to
retain freshness until power is applied for the first time
Proven gas–tight socket contacts
Full +10% operating range
Operating temperature range 0°C to 70°C
Accuracy is better than ±1 min./month @ 25°C

DESCRIPTION
The DS1216D SmartW atch/RAM 256K/1M is a 32–pin,
600 MIL wide DIP socket with a built–in CMOS watch
function, a nonvolatile RAM controller circuit, and an
embedded lithium energy source. It accepts either an
8K x 8, 32K x 8, 128K x 8, or 512K x 8 JEDEC bytewide
CMOS static RAM. When the socket is mated with a
CMOS SRAM, it provides a complete solution to prob-
lems associated with memory volatility and uses a com-
mon energy source to maintain time and date. A key
feature of the SmartW atch is that the watch function re-
mains transparent to the RAM.
See the DS1216B SmartWatch/RAM 16/64K data sheet
for technical details.
