Product details
Overview
M10042040108X0IWAR from Renesas is a 4Mb serial STT-MRAM non-volatile memory IC with QSPI interface, 108MHz SDR operation, 1.71–2.0V supply, industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and 8-pad DFN (WSON) package. It delivers SRAM-compatible read/write timing with persistent data retention for real-time data logging in factory automation controllers.
For engineers reviewing the M10042040108X0IWAR datasheet, M10042040108X0IWAR pinout, M10042040108X0IWAR application, or M10042040108X0IWAR equivalent, key selection criteria include QSPI x4 interface support, hardware write-protect (WP#) pin, 256-byte augmented storage array, JEDEC reset compliance, and 40nm pMTJ process enabling >1015 write cycles.
Technical Context
The M10042040108X0IWAR implements a quad SPI (QPI) interface with 4-4-4 command-address-data configuration, supporting both SDR (108MHz) and DDR (54MHz) modes. Its architecture integrates a dedicated high-voltage generator for MRAM switching and dual power domains for core (1.8V) and I/O (1.8V) operation.
It features eXecute-In-Place (XIP) mode to eliminate per-access command overhead, two low-power states (Deep Power Down, Hibernate) with full configuration retention, and independent 256-byte augmented storage array with per-section write protection-enabling secure device identification and firmware metadata storage without consuming main memory space.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial non-volatile memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cypress Semiconductors FM25V04 | 4Mb F-RAM; 3.0V only (2.7–3.6V); no QPI mode; max 40MHz SPI | Limited to lower-bandwidth legacy controllers; lacks XIP and augmented storage | Select for cost-sensitive designs where 40MHz speed and 3.0V supply are acceptable |
| Infineon Technologies CY14B104QN | 4Mb nvSRAM; requires external capacitor for auto-store; 10ns access time but volatile standby | Needs backup power management; unsuitable for battery-only or energy-harvesting systems | Select when nanosecond-level random read latency is mandatory and backup power is available |
Compared with FM25V04 and CY14B104QN, the M10042040108X0IWAR offers higher interface bandwidth (108MHz QPI), true zero-power non-volatility, and integrated security features-making it optimal for next-generation industrial edge devices requiring robust, low-power, high-reliability memory.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for M10042040108X0IWAR?
The M10042040108X0IWAR operates from 1.71 V to 2.00 V. This 1.8V nominal supply range is optimized for compatibility with modern low-power microcontrollers and SoCs. Operation outside this range may result in undefined behavior or failure to meet timing specifications. The device does not support 3.0V operation-other variants like M10042040108X0ISAR use the 2.7–3.6V range.
Does M10042040108X0IWAR support Quad SPI (QPI) mode?
Yes, the M10042040108X0IWAR supports Quad SPI (QPI) with 4-4-4 command-address-data configuration. In QPI mode, all four I/O pins (IO[0]–IO[3]) are used simultaneously for command, address, and data transfer, enabling peak throughput of 432 MB/s at 108MHz. QPI mode must be enabled via Configuration Register 1 and requires proper initialization after power-up.
What is the purpose of the Augmented Storage Array in M10042040108X0IWAR?
The M10042040108X0IWAR includes a dedicated 256-byte Augmented Storage Array, divided into eight 32-byte sections. Each section can be individually programmed and write-protected via configuration bits. This area is used for secure storage of device identifiers, calibration data, or firmware metadata-separate from the main 4Mb memory array and immune to bulk erase commands.
How does the WP# pin function on M10042040108X0IWAR?
The WP# pin on M10042040108X0IWAR provides hardware-based write protection for the status register when WP#EN bit (SR[7]) is set. When WP# is driven low and WP#EN = 1, the status register becomes read-only, preventing accidental modification of block protection settings. In QPI mode, WP# serves as IO[2] and must be pulled high if unused to avoid floating.
Is M10042040108X0IWAR pin-compatible with other densities in the Mxxxx204 family?
Yes, the M10042040108X0IWAR shares identical pinout, package footprint, and electrical interface with M10082040108X0IWAR (8Mb) and M10162040108X0IWAR (16Mb) in the same 8-pad DFN (WA) package. This allows density scalability without PCB layout changes, provided firmware handles the extended address space correctly.
