1 Description
The M48T58/Y TIMEKEEPER
®
 RAM is a 8 Kb x 8 non-volatile static RAM and real-time 
clock. The monolithic chip is available in two special packages to provide a highly integrated 
battery-backed memory and real-time clock solution.
The M48T58/Y is a non-volatile pin and function equivalent to any JEDEC standard 
8b Kb x 8 SRAM. It also easily fits into many ROM, EPROM, and EEPROM sockets, 
providing the non-volatility of PROMs without any requirement for special WRITE timing or 
limitations on the number of WRITEs that can be performed.
The 28-pin, 600 mil DIP CAPHAT
™
 houses the M48T58/Y silicon with a quartz crystal and a 
long life lithium button cell in a single package.
The 28-pin, 330 mil SOIC provides sockets with gold plated contacts at both ends for direct 
connection to a separate SNAPHAT
®
 housing containing the battery and crystal. The 
unique design allows the SNAPHAT battery package to be mounted on top of the SOIC 
package after the completion of the surface mount process. Insertion of the SNAPHAT 
housing after reflow prevents potential battery and crystal damage due to the high 
temperatures required for device surface-mounting. The SNAPHAT housing is keyed to 
prevent reverse insertion. The SOIC and battery/crystal packages are shipped separately in 
plastic anti-static tubes or in tape & reel form. 
For the 28-lead SOIC, the battery/crystal package (e.g., SNAPHAT) part number is “M4T28-
BR12SH”.
