Product details
Overview
M3016316035NX0IBCY from Renesas Electronics is a 16Mbit parallel asynchronous magneto-resistive RAM (MRAM) with x16 data bus, 35ns read/write cycle time, 2.7–3.6V supply voltage, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It delivers persistent SRAM-like performance with non-volatility, used in real-time data logging and control state retention for factory automation systems.
For engineers reviewing the M3016316035NX0IBCY datasheet, M3016316035NX0IBCY pinout, M3016316035NX0IBCY application, or M3016316035NX0IBCY equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping, timing behavior, endurance metrics, and validated alternative options for industrial embedded memory replacement.
Technical Context
This MRAM uses 40nm perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction (pMTJ) spin-transfer torque (STT) technology, enabling true random-access reads/writes without erase cycles. Its parallel x16 interface operates asynchronously with separate chip enable (E#), output enable (G#), and write enable (W#) controls, supporting byte-selectable writes via UB#/LB#.
The device implements a full SRAM-compatible command protocol: read requires E# and G# low with W# high; write requires E# and W# low with G# high. Address decoding scales across densities-16Mbit uses ADDR[19:0] (20 pins)-and all operations maintain data integrity under magnetic fields up to 24,000 A/m during read or write.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 16 Mbit (1,048,576 × 16 organization) - supports 2MB of byte-addressable non-volatile storage |
| Access Time | 35 ns read/write cycle - enables direct replacement of fast SRAM in legacy bus interfaces without timing redesign |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V – 3.6 V - compatible with standard 3.3V industrial logic rails and tolerant of brownout conditions down to 2.1V (Vwi) |
| Data Retention | 10 years at 105°C - guarantees long-term data integrity in unpowered storage for medical diagnostics and smart metering |
| Endurance | 10¹⁴ write cycles - eliminates wear leveling firmware overhead required by NAND/EEPROM in high-write-rate applications |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C (industrial grade) - qualified for continuous operation in PLCs, motor drives, and industrial gateways |
| Interface | Parallel asynchronous x16 - no clock, no command queue, no initialization sequence; drop-in compatible with legacy SRAM footprints |
Pinout & Package
Package: 54-pin TSOP (10 mm × 22 mm), RoHS-compliant, industrial-grade plastic body with exposed pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| E# | Chip Enable | Active-low global enable; must follow VCC during power-up/down to prevent undefined state or data corruption |
| G# | Output Enable | Active-low control for DQ[15:0] bus drivers; determines read data output timing (tGLQV = 15–25 ns) |
| W# | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; combined with E# to initiate write; high during read to enable output drivers |
| UB# / LB# | Byte Enables | Independent upper/lower byte gating for x16 bus; allows 8-bit writes without masking or extra logic |
| ADDR[19:0] | Address Inputs | 20-bit address bus for 16Mbit density; supports full random access without row/column addressing overhead |
| DQ[15:0] | Bidirectional Data I/O | x16 data bus with Hi-Z control; supports simultaneous read/write on separate bytes using UB#/LB# |
| VCC / VSS | Power / Ground | Single 3.3V supply domain; max standby current 2.5 mA (industrial temp); pin 1 VSS must be held low per spec |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Persistent SRAM (P-SRAM) behavior | SRAM-compatible timing (35ns R/W) with inherent non-volatility - eliminates backup battery or capacitor circuitry |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar non-volatile parallel memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY14B108L-BAI | 8Mbit density, 45ns access, SOIC-44 package, 3.3V only; lower endurance (10¹² cycles) | Limited to lower-density designs; lacks 16Mbit capacity and 35ns speed needed for high-throughput logging | Select only if board space constraints require SOIC-44 and 8Mbit suffices; verify timing margin for 45ns vs. 35ns critical paths |
| AS16C1608-35N | 16Mbit, 35ns, 48-ball FBGA, same voltage/temp range; uses toggle-mode interface instead of true asynchronous | Requires minor firmware adaptation for write-enable sequencing; incompatible with legacy SRAM glue logic | Choose when migrating to smaller FBGA footprint and can modify control logic; avoid for drop-in SRAM replacements |
Compared with CY14B108L-BAI and AS16C1608-35N, M3016316035NX0IBCY uniquely combines 16Mbit density, 35ns timing, true asynchronous operation, and 10¹⁴ endurance in a 54-pin TSOP-making it the only option that satisfies all four criteria for retrofitting legacy industrial controllers without layout or firmware changes.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of M3016316035NX0IBCY?
M3016316035NX0IBCY has a 1,048,576 × 16 memory array organization, delivering 16 megabits (2 megabytes) of x16 parallel-access storage. This structure maps directly to 20-bit address lines (ADDR[19:0]), enabling full random access without bank or page constraints. The device supports byte-selectable writes via UB# and LB# signals, preserving compatibility with existing 16-bit data bus architectures.
Does M3016316035NX0IBCY require a power-on initialization sequence?
No, M3016316035NX0IBCY does not require software initialization. However, hardware-level power sequencing is mandatory: E#, W#, and G# must track VCC during both power-up and power-down transitions. The device becomes fully operational within 1 ms after VCC exceeds 2.7 V, and read/write operations are inhibited if VCC drops below 2.1 V (Vwi) during brownout conditions.
Can M3016316035NX0IBCY replace standard SRAM in an existing design?
Yes, M3016316035NX0IBCY is designed as a pin- and timing-compatible replacement for 16Mbit asynchronous SRAMs. It matches 35ns access timing, uses identical control signals (E#, G#, W#, UB#, LB#), and requires no external components like batteries or capacitors. No firmware or PCB changes are needed beyond verifying VCC stability and ensuring VSS pin 1 is held low.
What is the maximum magnetic field strength M3016316035NX0IBCY can withstand during operation?
M3016316035NX0IBCY is rated for continuous operation under magnetic fields up to 24,000 A/m during both read and write cycles. This specification is validated per internal magnetic immunity testing and ensures reliable function in proximity to motors, solenoids, transformers, and other high-field industrial equipment without data corruption or timing disruption.
How does the endurance of M3016316035NX0IBCY compare to Flash or EEPROM?
M3016316035NX0IBCY offers 10¹⁴ write cycles-100× greater than typical NOR Flash (10⁶) and 10,000× greater than standard EEPROM (10¹⁰). Unlike Flash, it requires no block erase, supports true byte-level writes, and exhibits no write latency penalty. This makes M3016316035NX0IBCY ideal for applications with frequent small-data updates, such as real-time sensor logging or configuration tracking.
