Product details
Overview
M30162040054X0PWAY from Renesas is a 16Mbit serial STT-MRAM non-volatile memory IC with Quad SPI (4-4-4) interface, 54MHz DDR clock support, 1.71–2.0V or 2.7–3.6V dual supply range, and industrial-plus temperature rating (−40°C to +105°C). It delivers SRAM-compatible read/write timing with persistent data retention, used in real-time industrial control logging and firmware parameter storage where power loss resilience and low-latency writes are critical.
For engineers reviewing the M30162040054X0PWAY datasheet, M30162040054X0PWAY pinout, M30162040054X0PWAY application, or M30162040054X0PWAY equivalent, key selection considerations include its 8-pad DFN (WSON) package, hardware/software write protection (WP# pin + configuration registers), 256-byte augmented storage array, JEDEC reset compliance, and QSPI x4 interface mode support - all verified for high-reliability embedded systems requiring zero-write-cycle endurance.
Technical Context
This MRAM uses 40nm perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction (pMTJ) spin-transfer torque technology, enabling true random-access reads/writes without erase cycles and retaining data indefinitely without power. Its architecture integrates command/address/data buffers, status/configuration registers, and an independent 256-byte augmented storage array with per-section write protection.
The device supports SPI Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) for both SDR and DDR operation, with data output always aligned to the falling clock edge. It implements two low-power states - Deep Power Down (IDPD) and Hibernate (IHBN) - preserving full register state and memory contents while reducing current to microamp levels.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Density | 16 Mbit (2 MByte) main memory array - supports large firmware parameter tables or real-time sensor log buffers without wear leveling. |
| Interface | Quad SPI (4-4-4) - enables 4-bit parallel data transfer on address and data phases, doubling throughput vs. standard SPI in same clock frequency. |
| Max Clock Speed | 54 MHz DDR - achieves up to 432 Mbps effective data rate (4 × 54 MHz × 2 edges), suitable for burst-mode logging at sub-microsecond latency. |
| Supply Voltage | 1.71–2.00 V or 2.70–3.60 V - dual-range compatibility allows direct integration into 1.8V or 3.3V industrial MCU subsystems without level shifters. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +105°C (Industrial Plus) - qualified for under-hood automotive ECUs, factory automation controllers, and medical diagnostic equipment enclosures. |
| Endurance & Retention | Virtually unlimited write cycles (>10¹⁵) and >20-year data retention at 105°C - eliminates refresh overhead and lifetime estimation uncertainty in mission-critical storage. |
| Package | 8-pad DFN (WSON), 5.0 mm × 6.0 mm - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and thermal management in space-constrained industrial PCBs. |
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 |
|---|---|---|
| CS# | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable signal; must be driven low before any instruction; high state places device in standby with tri-stated outputs. |
| WP# / IO[2] | Write Protect Input / Bidirectional Data 2 | In Single SPI mode: hardware write protect for status register when WP# = Low and SR[7] = 1; in Quad SPI: bidirectional I/O for address/data transfer. |
| SI / IO[0] | Serial Input / Bidirectional Data 0 | In Single SPI: command/address/data input on rising clock edge; in Quad SPI: part of 4-bit I/O bus for command transmission. |
| CLK | Clock Input | Synchronous timing reference; DDR mode uses both rising and falling edges for data capture - requires precise clock jitter control (<100 ps). |
| IO[3] | Bidirectional Data 3 | Quad SPI data lane; used for address and data I/O in 1-4-4 and 4-4-4 modes; must be pulled high if unused in lower-pin-count configurations. |
| SO / IO[1] | Serial Output / Bidirectional Data 1 | In Single SPI: data output on falling clock edge; in Quad SPI: part of 4-bit I/O bus for data output during read operations. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single supply for core logic and I/O; supports 1.8V or 3.3V operation; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin. |
| VSS | Ground | Common return path for core and I/O; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane to maintain signal integrity on high-speed SPI lines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| eXecute-In-Place (XIP) | Enables continuous read sequences without repeated command issuance - reduces instruction overhead by ~40% in firmware code execution scenarios. |
| Augmented Storage Array | 256-byte user-programmable memory with 8 individually protected 32-byte sections - ideal for storing calibrated sensor offsets or secure boot keys with granular write lock control. |
| Hardware + Software Protection | WP# pin + configurable Status Register bits (SR[7], SR[4:2]) allow layered protection - prevents accidental writes to critical registers or memory blocks during field updates. |
| JEDEC Reset Support | Standardized reset command (66h) restores device to known operational state - simplifies recovery after brownout or watchdog timeout in safety-critical applications. |
| Deep Power Down Mode | Reduces ICC to ≤1 µA while preserving all memory and register contents - extends battery life in always-on industrial sensors without data loss risk. |

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the M30162040054X0PWAY support?
M30162040054X0PWAY supports two independent supply ranges: 1.71 V to 2.00 V for 1.8 V systems and 2.70 V to 3.60 V for 3.3 V systems. Both ranges are fully specified across the full −40°C to +105°C operating temperature. The device automatically adapts internal regulation and timing to the applied VCC, eliminating need for external voltage translators in mixed-supply designs.
Does the M30162040054X0PWAY require a backup capacitor or battery for data retention?
No, the M30162040054X0PWAY does not require any external capacitor or battery. As a magneto-resistive RAM (MRAM), it retains data indefinitely without power due to its intrinsic non-volatility. All 16 Mbit of main memory and the 256-byte augmented storage array preserve contents across infinite power cycles and temperature extremes up to +105°C.
What is the function of the WP# pin on the M30162040054X0PWAY?
On the M30162040054X0PWAY, the WP# pin provides hardware-level write protection for the status register when enabled via SR[7]. When WP# is driven low and SR[7] = 1, writes to the status register are blocked - preventing accidental disablement of software-based memory protection features. In Quad SPI mode, WP# serves as IO[2] for bidirectional data transfer.
Can the M30162040054X0PWAY operate in Double Data Rate (DDR) mode at 54 MHz?
Yes, the M30162040054X0PWAY is rated for 54 MHz DDR operation, achieving 432 Mbps effective throughput in Quad SPI (4-4-4) mode. This requires SPI Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and proper board layout with matched trace lengths and controlled impedance (50 Ω) to maintain signal integrity on all four I/O lines during dual-edge sampling.
How is the 256-byte Augmented Storage Array organized and protected on the M30162040054X0PWAY?
The M30162040054X0PWAY's 256-byte Augmented Storage Array is divided into eight 32-byte sections (0x000000–0x0000FF), each independently programmable and write-protectable via configuration bits in the Augmented Storage Array Protection Register. Protection is enforced at section level, allowing secure storage of calibration data, cryptographic keys, or serial numbers with granular access control.
