Product details
Overview
M10042040108X0PWAR from Renesas is a 4Mb serial STT-MRAM non-volatile memory IC with QSPI interface, 108MHz SDR clock rate, 1.71–2.0V supply, and industrial-plus temperature range (−40°C to +105°C). It delivers SRAM-compatible read/write timing with persistent data retention, targeting real-time data logging in factory automation controllers.
For engineers reviewing the M10042040108X0PWAR datasheet, M10042040108X0PWAR pinout, M10042040108X0PWAR application, or M10042040108X0PWAR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4Mb density, 8-pad DFN (WSON) package, hardware/software write protection, 256-byte augmented storage array, and JEDEC reset support - all critical for deterministic embedded storage in harsh-temperature environments.
Technical Context
This MRAM uses 40nm pMTJ spin-transfer torque technology, enabling true random access with no erase cycles, virtually unlimited endurance (>1015 cycles), and 20-year data retention at 105°C. Its QSPI interface supports x4 I/O configuration (1-4-4) and executes-in-place (XIP) mode to eliminate per-access command overhead.
The device integrates dual power states - Deep Power Down (IDPD ≤ 10 µA) and Hibernate (IHBN ≤ 25 µA) - both preserving memory contents and register configurations. It features dedicated hardware write protection via WP# pin and software-controlled block protection through configurable status and configuration registers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Density | 4 Mbit (512 KB); enables compact firmware/data storage without external backup capacitors or wear-leveling logic. |
| Interface | QSPI (1-4-4 mode); supports 108 MHz single-data-rate operation for 43 MB/s peak throughput with minimal host GPIO usage. |
| Supply Voltage | 1.71 V – 2.00 V; compatible with modern low-voltage microcontrollers and eliminates level-shifting in 1.8V systems. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +105°C; qualified for industrial-plus environments including motor drives and medical diagnostics equipment. |
| Endurance | >1015 write cycles; eliminates lifetime concerns in high-frequency logging applications such as PLC event buffers. |
| Data Retention | 20 years at +105°C; guarantees data integrity across full thermal lifecycle without refresh or rewrite. |
| Package | 8-pad DFN (WSON), 5.0 mm × 6.0 mm; surface-mount footprint matches SOIC-8 but with lower profile and improved thermal performance. |
Pinout & Package
8-pad DFN (WSON) package, 5.0 mm × 6.0 mm, moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3, lead-free and RoHS/REACH compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CS# | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable signal; falling edge initiates instruction sequence; high state places device in standby (ISB ≤ 15 µA). |
| 2 WP# / IO[2] | Bidirectional I/O / Write Protect | In SPI mode: hardware write protect for status register when WP# = Low and SR[7] = 1; in QPI mode: bidirectional data line. |
| 3 SI / IO[0] | Serial Input / Bidirectional Data 0 | Command/address input in single SPI; full-duplex data I/O in dual/quad modes; latched on rising clock edge (SDR). |
| 4 CLK | Clock Input | Synchronous timing reference; supports SPI Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) for both SDR and DDR; DDR uses both edges. |
| 5 IO[3] | Bidirectional Data 3 | QPI data lane; used for address/data transfer in 1-4-4 mode; must be tied to VCC if unused in lower-pin-count configurations. |
| 6 SO / IO[1] | Serial Output / Bidirectional Data 1 | Data output in single SPI (falling-edge sampled); bidirectional I/O in dual/quad modes; always outputs on falling clock edge. |
| 7 VCC | Power Supply | 1.71–2.00 V core/I/O supply; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin per datasheet layout guidance. |
| 8 VSS | Ground | Common return path for core and I/O circuits; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| STT-MRAM Technology | 40 nm pMTJ cell structure enables zero-latency writes, no write disturb, and immunity to radiation-induced bit flips. |
| Execute-In-Place (XIP) | Reduces random read latency by 40% vs standard SPI flash by eliminating repeated command transmission during burst reads. |
| Augmented Storage Array | 256-byte user-programmable area with per-section (32B) write protection - ideal for storing calibration constants or secure keys. |
| Hardware + Software Protection | WP# pin + status register bits (SR[7], SR[4:2]) allow layered defense: global lock, top/bottom region select, and 8-block granularity. |
| JEDEC Reset Support | Standardized reset command (66h/99h) ensures interoperability with existing SPI memory controllers and bootloaders. |

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-G | 4Mb F-RAM; 3.0V only (2.7–3.6V); max 40MHz SPI; no QPI or XIP support. | Limited to lower-speed interfaces; lacks augmented storage array and JEDEC reset. | Choose for legacy 3.3V systems where ultra-low write energy is prioritized over speed and feature set. |
| Infineon Technologies CY14V104N-ZSP25XI | 4Mb nvSRAM with internal lithium battery; 2.7–3.6V; 25 MHz parallel interface; no serial option. | Requires PCB space for backup capacitor/battery; incompatible with SPI-only host designs. | Choose only when existing design uses parallel bus and battery-backed retention is mandated by legacy certification. |
Compared with FM25V04-G and CY14V104N-ZSP25XI, M10042040108X0PWAR uniquely combines 108MHz QSPI, 1.8V operation, industrial-plus temperature rating, and integrated augmented storage - making it the sole option for new 1.8V embedded systems requiring high-speed, high-reliability serial NVM without external support components.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for M10042040108X0PWAR?
M10042040108X0PWAR operates from 1.71 V to 2.00 V. This 1.8V nominal range ensures compatibility with modern low-power microcontrollers and eliminates the need for level shifters in 1.8V systems. The device is not rated for 3.0V operation - using voltages outside this window may cause functional failure or accelerated wear.
Does M10042040108X0PWAR support Quad SPI (QPI) mode?
Yes, M10042040108X0PWAR supports QPI mode with 1-4-4 configuration (command on IO[0], address/data on IO[3:0]). It achieves 108MHz SDR operation in QPI, delivering up to 43 MB/s throughput. QPI mode must be enabled via Configuration Register 1 (address 0x000002h, bit CR1[0]); default power-up state is standard SPI.
How does the Augmented Storage Array in M10042040108X0PWAR function?
The M10042040108X0PWAR includes a 256-byte Augmented Storage Array divided into eight 32-byte sections, each independently programmable and write-protectable. It resides at addresses 0x000000–0x0000FF and is accessed via standard read/write commands - ideal for storing calibration data, serial numbers, or secure keys without consuming main array space.
What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal resistance for M10042040108X0PWAR in its DFN package?
In the 8-pad DFN (WSON) package, M10042040108X0PWAR has a maximum junction temperature of +125°C and a typical θJA of 120°C/W. With 1 cm² of 2-oz copper pad under the exposed thermal pad, junction-to-board thermal resistance drops to ~35°C/W - enabling reliable operation at full 105°C ambient with modest airflow or natural convection.
Is M10042040108X0PWAR pin-compatible with other devices in the Mxxxx204 family?
Yes, all Mxxxx204 variants - including M10042040108X0PWAR, M10082040108X0PWAR, and M10162040108X0PWAR - share identical 8-pad DFN (WSON) and 8-pin SOIC footprints, pin assignments, and electrical interface. Density and speed differences are software-configurable; no PCB redesign is needed when scaling capacity or migrating between 4Mb/8Mb/16Mb versions.
