Product details
Overview
CY14ME064Q2B-SXIT from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 64-Kbit (8K × 8) SPI nonvolatile SRAM with integrated QuantumTrap nonvolatile storage, designed for mission-critical data retention in industrial control and power-loss-prone systems. It supports AutoStore on power-down via external VCAP capacitor, Power-Up RECALL, 40-MHz zero-cycle-delay SPI interface, hardware write protection (WP pin), and industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C).
For engineers reviewing the CY14ME064Q2B-SXIT datasheet, CY14ME064Q2B-SXIT pinout, CY14ME064Q2B-SXIT application, or CY14ME064Q2B-SXIT equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC range (4.5–5.5 V), AutoStore capability with VCAP support, SPI mode 0/3 compatibility, 20-year data retention at 85°C, and hardware/software write protection granularity.
Technical Context
The CY14ME064Q2B-SXIT integrates an 8K × 8 SRAM array with per-cell QuantumTrap nonvolatile elements based on SONOS technology, enabling infinite SRAM read/write cycles while guaranteeing 1 million STORE cycles and 20-year data retention at 85°C. Its SPI slave interface operates up to 40 MHz with zero cycle delay for READ/WRITE, and supports both AutoStore (triggered by VCC drop below VSWITCH) and Software STORE/RECALL via dedicated opcodes.
Power management includes three low-power states: active (3 mA avg @ 40 MHz), standby (120 µA), and sleep (8 µA), with hardware write protection via WP pin and software block protection (1/4, 1/2, or full array) controlled through BP0/BP1 bits in the Status Register. The device uses SPI modes 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1) and features HOLD pin for serial operation suspension without reset.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 64 Kbit (8K × 8) - provides byte-addressable nonvolatile storage matching legacy parallel SRAM footprints in SPI-constrained designs. |
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V industrial logic rails and eliminates level-shifting in legacy 5-V systems. |
| SPI Clock Rate | Up to 40 MHz - enables high-throughput configuration/data logging without wait states due to zero-cycle-delay read/write. |
| Data Retention | 20 years at +85°C - ensures long-term firmware parameter or calibration storage in unattended equipment without battery backup. |
| STORE Endurance | 1 million cycles - supports frequent power-cycle logging in energy metering or PLC I/O modules with guaranteed nonvolatile write lifetime. |
| AutoStore Support | Yes, with external VCAP capacitor - delivers deterministic, capacitor-backed data save on brownout, eliminating need for external supervisor ICs or batteries. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for deployment in industrial automation enclosures, motor drives, and outdoor infrastructure. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable; places device in standby (120 µA) when high, required for SPI command initiation. |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Accepts up to 40-MHz clock; latches SI on rising edge, drives SO on falling edge per SPI mode 0/3 timing. |
| SI | Serial input | Receives all opcodes (READ, WRITE, STORE, RECALL, WRSR, etc.) and address/data bytes. |
| SO | Serial output | Drives read data, status register contents, serial number, and device ID; tri-stated when CS high. |
| WP | Hardware write protect input | Low-active pin that locks entire memory array against accidental writes; overrides software protection when asserted. |
| HOLD | Serial suspend input | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without resetting internal state; allows host to service higher-priority interrupts mid-transaction. |
| VCAP | AutoStore capacitor supply | Connects to external capacitor (typically 4.7–10 µF); supplies energy during VCC collapse to complete STORE before power loss. |
| VSS | Ground reference | System ground return path; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into nvSRAM core. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| QuantumTrap nonvolatile storage | Per-cell SONOS-based nonvolatility enables infinite SRAM writes while preserving 1M STORE cycles and 20-year retention at 85°C. |
| AutoStore with VCAP | Eliminates external power-fail detection circuitry; capacitor-backed STORE activates automatically when VCC drops below VSWITCH (~3.0 V). |
| Zero-cycle-delay SPI | 40-MHz reads/writes execute without wait states-critical for real-time logging in motion control and sensor fusion applications. |
| Multi-level write protection | Combines hardware (WP pin), software disable (WRDI), and configurable block protection (BP0/BP1) to prevent unintended firmware or calibration overwrites. |
| Industrial-grade reliability | Qualified across –40°C to +85°C with full functionality; no derating required for extended temperature operation in harsh environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nvSRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY14ME064Q1B-SXIT | No VCAP pin; lacks AutoStore capability - requires software-initiated STORE only. | Suitable where power-fail events are infrequent or managed externally via MCU GPIO monitoring. | Select when system already implements power-fail detection and avoids capacitor footprint/charging overhead. |
| FM25V05-G | F-RAM-based (not nvSRAM); 512-Kbit density; 3.3-V only; no AutoStore; unlimited endurance. | Better for high-write-frequency buffers but lacks deterministic power-loss STORE and 5-V compatibility. | Choose for write-intensive data buffers where 5-V operation and capacitor-backed STORE are not required. |
Compared with CY14ME064Q1B-SXIT, this part adds VCAP-backed AutoStore for hands-off power-loss recovery; compared with FM25V05-G, it offers 5-V operation and guaranteed STORE on brownout-but trades F-RAM's unlimited endurance for 1M STORE cycles.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCAP capacitance required for reliable AutoStore operation?
The CY14ME064Q2B-SXIT requires a minimum 4.7 µF tantalum or ceramic capacitor on the VCAP pin to ensure successful STORE during a 10-ms VCC dropout at 5.5 V. Larger values (up to 10 µF) improve margin under worst-case temperature and voltage conditions. The capacitor must be low-ESR (< 1 Ω) and rated for ≥10 V DC.
Does the device support SPI mode 1 or mode 2?
No - the CY14ME064Q2B-SXIT supports only SPI modes 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) and 3 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1). Attempting mode 1 or 2 will result in incorrect data sampling due to mismatched clock polarity and phase timing relative to the internal instruction decoder.
How is the 8-byte serial number programmed and accessed?
The 8-byte serial number is factory-programmed and read-only. It is accessed using the RDSN instruction (0x05) after issuing WREN; no user programming is supported. Each byte is returned sequentially on SO starting from index 0, and the value remains fixed across STORE/RECALL cycles and power cycles.
Can the WP pin be left unconnected if hardware write protection is not used?
No - the WP pin must be actively driven HIGH (to VCC) when not in use. Leaving it floating may cause indeterminate write protection behavior due to internal pull-down weakness. A 10-kΩ pull-up resistor to VCC is recommended for robust noise immunity in electrically noisy industrial environments.
