Overview
M30162040108X0PSAY from Renesas is a 16Mbit serial STT-MRAM non-volatile memory IC with QSPI interface, 108MHz SDR clock rate, 1.71–2.0V or 2.7–3.6V supply, and industrial-plus temperature range (−40°C to +105°C). It delivers SRAM-compatible read/write timing, zero write latency, and persistent data retention without backup power - deployed in factory automation controllers for real-time parameter logging.
For engineers reviewing the M30162040108X0PSAY datasheet, M30162040108X0PSAY pinout, M30162040108X0PSAY application, or M30162040108X0PSAY equivalent, key selection criteria include QSPI x4 interface support, hardware/software write protection, 256-byte augmented storage array, JEDEC reset compliance, and dual-voltage operation across extended temperature.
Technical Context
This MRAM uses 40nm perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction (pMTJ) spin-transfer torque technology, enabling true random access with no erase cycles, unlimited endurance (>10¹⁵ writes), and 20-year data retention at 105°C. 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 Quad SPI (4-4-4) mode with both SDR (108MHz) and DDR (54MHz) operation, SPI Modes 0 and 3, and low-power states including Deep Power Down (IDPD = 2µA typical) and Hibernate (IHBN = 5µA typical). All modes retain data and configuration without external power loss.

Package: 8-pin SOIC (5.2mm × 5.2mm), RoHS-compliant, lead-free, industrial-plus rated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS# | Chip Select (active-low) | Enables SPI communication; must be driven low before any instruction; high puts device in standby or low-power mode. |
| WP# / IO[2] | Write Protect input / Bidirectional I/O 2 | Hardware write lock for status register when WP# = Low and SR[7] = 1; also serves as QPI data line IO[2]. |
| SI / IO[0] | Serial Input / Bidirectional I/O 0 | Command/address/data input in single SPI; bidirectional data lane in dual/quad modes; requires pull-up if unused. |
| CLK | Clock input | Synchronous timing reference; rising edge latches commands in SDR/DDR; both edges used for address/data in DDR mode. |
| IO[3] | Bidirectional I/O 3 | Quad SPI data lane; must be pulled to VCC if not used in single/dual mode to prevent floating inputs. |
| SO / IO[1] | Serial Output / Bidirectional I/O 1 | Data output in single SPI (falling-edge sampled); bidirectional lane in dual/quad modes; tri-stated when CS# = High. |
| VCC | Power supply | Single supply for core and I/O; supports 1.8V or 3.3V rails; requires local 100nF decoupling capacitor per datasheet layout guidelines. |
| VSS | Ground | Common return path for core and I/O; must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance routing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| eXecute-In-Place (XIP) | Reduces instruction overhead by enabling continuous read/write sequences without repeated command retransmission - cuts random access latency by up to 40% vs standard SPI flash. |
| Augmented Storage Array | 256-byte user-programmable memory with per-section (32B) write protection - ideal for storing calibration coefficients, MAC addresses, or secure keys separately from main array. |
| Hardware + Software Protection | WP# pin locks status register; configuration bits (BPSEL[2:0], TBSEL) enable top/bottom block protection - prevents accidental firmware overwrite during field updates. |
| JEDEC Reset Support | Standardized reset command (66h/99h) restores default register values - ensures deterministic initialization across power cycles and firmware recovery scenarios. |
| Unique & Programmable IDs | 64-bit factory-unique ID + 64-bit user-programmable serial number - enables device traceability, secure boot binding, and production-line serialization. |

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the M30162040108X0PSAY support?
M30162040108X0PSAY supports two independent VCC operating ranges: 1.71V to 2.00V (1.8V nominal) and 2.70V to 3.60V (3.3V nominal). The device automatically adapts to either rail without external configuration. This dual-voltage capability allows direct integration into mixed-voltage systems and eliminates the need for level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers or 3.3V FPGAs. Both ranges are fully specified across the −40°C to +105°C temperature range.
Does the M30162040108X0PSAY require a battery or capacitor for data retention?
No, M30162040108X0PSAY is a true non-volatile memory based on STT-MRAM technology and retains data indefinitely without any backup power source. Unlike nvSRAM or battery-backed SRAM, it requires no external capacitor, supercapacitor, or lithium coin cell. Data persistence is guaranteed for 20 years at +105°C and exceeds 100 years at room temperature - all without auxiliary power, making M30162040108X0PSAY ideal for maintenance-free, safety-critical, and space-constrained applications.
What is the function of the Augmented Storage Array in the M30162040108X0PSAY?
The M30162040108X0PSAY includes a dedicated 256-byte Augmented Storage Array, physically separate from the main 16Mbit memory. It is divided into eight 32-byte sections, each individually programmable and independently write-protectable via configuration registers. This area is commonly used to store immutable identifiers (e.g., MAC addresses), calibration constants, secure keys, or firmware version stamps - isolated from bulk data operations to prevent accidental corruption during field updates or high-frequency logging to the main array.
Can the M30162040108X0PSAY operate in Quad SPI mode at 108MHz?
Yes, M30162040108X0PSAY supports Quad SPI (4-4-4) operation at 108MHz in Single Data Rate (SDR) mode. In this configuration, command, address, and data are all transferred across four I/O lines (IO[3:0]), achieving a peak throughput of 432 MB/s. The device also supports Double Data Rate (DDR) mode at 54MHz for applications prioritizing bandwidth efficiency over raw speed. Both modes are fully compliant with JEDEC JESD251 standards and require no external timing components.
How does hardware write protection work on the M30162040108X0PSAY?
Hardware write protection on M30162040108X0PSAY is implemented via the WP# pin in conjunction with the Status Register bit SR[7] (WP#EN). When SR[7] = 1 and WP# is driven low, the status register becomes read-only - preventing modification of block protection bits, top/bottom selection, and serial number lock settings. This provides a physical, pin-level safeguard against accidental or malicious register writes during system operation or firmware updates, complementing software-based protection schemes for defense-in-depth security.
