Product details
Overview
M10162040108X0IWAY from Renesas is a 16Mb serial STT-MRAM non-volatile memory IC with QSPI interface, 108MHz SDR clock speed, 1.71–2.0V supply voltage, 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 M10162040108X0IWAY datasheet, M10162040108X0IWAY pinout, M10162040108X0IWAY application, or M10162040108X0IWAY equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, pin-level design meaning, JEDEC-compliant reset support, hardware/software write protection, and XIP-enabled low-latency execution for deterministic embedded storage.
Technical Context
The M10162040108X0IWAY implements a 40nm pMTJ spin-transfer torque MRAM array with quad SPI (4-4-4) interface supporting both SDR (108MHz) and DDR (54MHz) modes. Its architecture includes dedicated command/address/data I/O lanes, on-die high-voltage generator, and dual power states-Deep Power Down (tEXDPD ≤ 400µs) and Hibernate (tEXHIB ≤ 450µs)-with full configuration retention.
It integrates a 256-byte Augmented Storage Array segmented into eight 32-byte programmable/protectable sections, plus registers for status, configuration (four registers), device ID (64-bit read-only), and user serial number (64-bit read/write). All memory operations are controlled via an 8-bit instruction register with CS#-synchronized activation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Density | 16Mbit (2MB) main array; supports 24-bit addressing up to 0x1FFFFF |
| Interface | QSPI (4-4-4) with SDR @ 108MHz - enables 432MB/s peak throughput |
| Supply Voltage | 1.71V–2.00V - compatible with 1.8V logic systems; eliminates level-shifting |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control environments without derating |
| Endurance & Retention | Virtually unlimited write cycles (>10¹⁵) and >20-year data retention at 85°C |
| Package | 8-pad DFN (WSON), 5.0mm × 6.0mm - surface-mount compatible with SOIC footprint |
| Data Protection | Hardware WP# pin + software-configurable block protect (BPSEL[2:0]) and top/bottom select (TBSEL) |
Pinout & Package
8-pad DFN (WSON) package, 5.0mm × 6.0mm body, exposed thermal pad, RoHS-compliant matte tin finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: CS# | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable; falling edge initiates instruction latch; high = standby mode with tri-stated outputs |
| 2: WP# / IO[2] | Bidirectional Data 2 / Write Protect | In SPI mode: hardware write lock for status register when WP#=low and WP#EN=1; in QPI mode: data I/O lane |
| 3: SI / IO[0] | Serial Input / Data 0 | Command/address input in 1-1-1; bidirectional data lane in 1-2-2, 1-4-4, and 4-4-4 modes |
| 4: CLK | Clock Input | SDR: latches command/address on rising edge, outputs data on falling edge; DDR: uses both edges for address/data |
| 5: IO[3] | Bidirectional Data 3 | QPI data lane; must be tied to VCC if unused in single/dual SPI configurations |
| 6: SO / IO[1] | Serial Output / Data 1 | Unidirectional output in 1-1-1; bidirectional data lane in all multi-I/O modes; always outputs on falling clock edge |
| 7: VCC | Power Supply | 1.71–2.0V core/I/O rail; requires local 100nF decoupling per datasheet recommendation |
| 8: VSS | Ground | Common reference for core and I/O; connects to thermal pad for thermal dissipation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar non-volatile serial memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cypress Semiconductors FM16W08 | 8Mb density, 3.3V only (2.7–3.6V), SOIC-8 package, no QPI or XIP support | Limited to lower-density, higher-voltage designs; lacks augmented storage and JEDEC reset | Select when 3.3V system integration and cost sensitivity outweigh performance and feature needs |
| Infineon Technologies CY14B108N | 8Mb density, 3.3V/2.5V operation, 100MHz max, SOIC-8, supports NVSRAM emulation but no MRAM endurance | Based on nvSRAM (SRAM + battery backup); requires external capacitor and has finite backup time | Choose only where legacy nvSRAM compatibility is mandatory and long-term maintenance access is guaranteed |
Compared with FM16W08 and CY14B108N, the M10162040108X0IWAY offers double the density, 1.8V operation, QPI bandwidth, XIP execution, and true infinite endurance - making it optimal for next-generation industrial edge devices requiring zero-maintenance persistent memory.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for M10162040108X0IWAY?
The M10162040108X0IWAY operates exclusively within the 1.71V to 2.00V range, as specified in its ordering code "1" suffix and confirmed in Table 7 of the datasheet. It is not rated for 3.0V operation; using voltages outside this window risks functional failure or accelerated wear. This 1.8V-native design simplifies power delivery in modern low-power industrial systems.
Does M10162040108X0IWAY support Quad SPI (QPI) mode?
Yes, M10162040108X0IWAY fully supports Quad SPI (4-4-4) mode as defined in its feature list and block diagram. In QPI mode, IO[3:0] carry command, address, and data simultaneously, enabling maximum throughput. The device also supports all intermediate modes including 1-1-1, 1-4-4, and DPI - all configurable via instruction sequences per Tables 3 and 4.
How does the Augmented Storage Array function in M10162040108X0IWAY?
The M10162040108X0IWAY includes a dedicated 256-byte Augmented Storage Array mapped to addresses 0x000000–0x0000FF, divided into eight 32-byte sections. Each section can be individually programmed and write-protected via configuration bits. This area is independent of the main 16Mb array and is used for calibration data, security keys, or field-upgradable parameters without affecting primary memory.
What power-down modes does M10162040108X0IWAY offer, and how do they differ?
M10162040108X0IWAY supports two low-power states: Deep Power Down (EDP command B9h) and Hibernate (EHBN command BAh). Both retain full memory and register contents, but Deep Power Down achieves lower current (IDPD) and requires longer exit time (tEXDPD ≤ 400µs), while Hibernate offers faster wake-up (tEXHIB ≤ 450µs) and slightly higher current. Neither requires reinitialization upon exit.
Is M10162040108X0IWAY pin-compatible with other devices in the Mxxxx204 family?
Yes, all Mxxxx204 variants - including M1004204, M1008204, and M1016204 - share identical 8-pad DFN (WSON) and 8-pin SOIC pinouts, signal assignments, and electrical characteristics. The M10162040108X0IWAY uses the same physical layout and interface protocol as M10082040108X0IWAY and M10042040108X0IWAY, enabling density-scaling without PCB redesign.
