The DS1220AB-100+ is an IC (integrated circuit) component manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It is a non-volatile static RAM (NVSRAM) that provides high-speed access to data while retaining it even when the power is off. Here are some key features of the DS1220AB-100+:
1. Non-Volatile Memory: The DS1220AB-100+ combines the features of both RAM and non-volatile memory. It can operate as a standard SRAM while also offering the non-volatility of EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory).
2. High-Speed Access: It provides fast access to stored data, offering access times as low as 120ns, allowing for efficient data retrieval and manipulation.
3. 1 Megabit Memory Size: The DS1220AB-100+ offers a storage capacity of 1 Megabit, equivalent to 128K x 8 bits, which enables it to hold a significant amount of data.
4. Unlimited Read and Write Operations: Unlike traditional EEPROMs, the DS1220AB-100+ allows an unlimited number of read and write operations without the need for any additional write cycles or erase operations.
5. Software Data Protection: It provides software-controlled data protection that prevents accidental data corruption during power cycles or brownout conditions. This feature ensures data integrity and enhances the reliability of the stored information
