Product details
Overview
M3016316035NX0PBCY 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, and industrial-plus temperature range (−40°C to +105°C). It delivers persistent SRAM-like performance with non-volatile data retention, enabling real-time logging in factory automation controllers without battery backup.
For engineers reviewing the M3016316035NX0PBCY datasheet, M3016316035NX0PBCY pinout, M3016316035NX0PBCY application, or M3016316035NX0PBCY equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, endurance and timing specifications, 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 with no write latency penalty or wear leveling. Its asynchronous parallel interface operates without clocks or command protocols-address and data transfer are controlled solely by E#, G#, W#, UB#, and LB# signals.
The device implements byte-selectable write control via UB# and LB# pins, supports full-word (16-bit), upper-byte, or lower-byte operations, and guarantees 10¹⁴ write cycles with 10-year data retention at 105°C. Power-up initialization requires E#, W#, and G# to track VCC rise within 1ms.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 16 Mbit (1,048,576 × 16 organization) |
| Access Time | 35 ns min read/write cycle - enables direct SRAM drop-in replacement in legacy industrial controllers |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V – 3.6 V - compatible with standard 3.3V logic rails and tolerant of brownout conditions down to 2.1 V (Vwi) |
| Data Retention | 10 years at 105°C - eliminates need for periodic refresh or backup power in sealed medical diagnostics equipment |
| Endurance | 10¹⁴ write cycles - supports continuous high-frequency logging in smart meter firmware updates |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +105°C - qualified for under-hood automotive ECUs and industrial PLC backplanes |
| Interface | Parallel asynchronous x16 - no clock, no command set, no wait states; pin-compatible with legacy PSRAM and SRAM designs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-ball FBGA (10 mm × 10 mm, balls-down), RoHS/REACH compliant, industrial-plus grade.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| E# | Chip Enable | Active-low global enable; must track VCC during power-up/down; disables all I/O when high |
| G# | Output Enable | Active-low control for DQ[15:0] drivers; determines read output activation while W# = high |
| W# | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; low = write mode; high = read mode; controls direction of DQ bus |
| UB# / LB# | Upper/Lower Byte Enable | Independent active-low enables for DQ[15:8] and DQ[7:0]; allow byte-granular writes without masking |
| ADDR[19:0] | Address Inputs | 20-bit address bus for 16Mbit density; ADDR[0]–ADDR[19] fully utilized; no unused address pins |
| DQ[15:0] | Bidirectional Data Bus | 16-bit parallel I/O; high-impedance when E#, G#, or W# inactive; supports simultaneous read/write on separate bytes |
| VCC / VSS | Power / Ground | Single 3.3V supply domain; both core and I/O share same VCC/VSS; no separate I/O voltage rail required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-volatility | Data persists indefinitely without power or backup capacitors - eliminates BOM cost and failure modes of NVSRAM batteries |
| SRAM-compatible timing | 35ns read/write cycles with zero latency penalty - replaces legacy SRAM in existing PCB layouts without timing redesign |
| Byte-selectable write | UB#/LB# pins enable independent 8-bit writes - avoids full-word overwrites and reduces system-level write amplification |
| High-temp reliability | 10-year data retention at 105°C - certified for use in uncooled industrial gateways and motor drive control modules |
| Magnetic immunity | Withstands 24,000 A/m fields during read/write - immune to interference from nearby solenoids, transformers, or motors |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cypress CY14B116L-BA45XIT | 45ns access time; 16Mbit; 3.3V; 48-ball FBGA; supports 85°C only (not 105°C) | Limited to industrial temp range; lacks magnetic immunity spec; lower endurance (10¹² cycles) | Select when operating ambient stays ≤85°C and magnetic field exposure is negligible. |
| Infineon Q8021616035NXT | 35ns access; 16Mbit; 2.7–3.6V; 48-ball FBGA; −40°C to +105°C; 10¹³ endurance cycles | Slightly lower write endurance; different pinout (no dedicated LB#/UB# - uses mask register for byte select) | Choose if existing design already uses Infineon's parallel MRAM family and layout reuse is prioritized. |
Compared with CY14B116L-BA45XIT and Q8021616035NXT, the M3016316035NX0PBCY offers superior thermal margin (105°C retention), higher endurance (10¹⁴ vs 10¹³/10¹²), and hardware byte-enable simplicity-making it optimal for next-generation industrial edge devices requiring long-term unattended operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for M3016316035NX0PBCY?
The M3016316035NX0PBCY is rated for industrial-plus operation from −40°C to +105°C. Its 10-year data retention specification is guaranteed at 105°C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive modules and sealed industrial enclosures without active cooling. Thermal resistance (θJA) is 43.98°C/W in the 48-ball FBGA package.
Does M3016316035NX0PBCY require external power backup or capacitors?
No. The M3016316035NX0PBCY is inherently non-volatile due to STT-MRAM technology - data persists without power, eliminating the need for backup batteries, supercapacitors, or external energy storage. It retains data indefinitely at temperatures up to 105°C, with no refresh cycles required.
Is M3016316035NX0PBCY pin-compatible with standard SRAMs?
Yes - the M3016316035NX0PBCY uses identical signal names (E#, G#, W#, UB#, LB#, ADDR[19:0], DQ[15:0]), timing conventions, and 48-ball FBGA footprint as industry-standard 16Mbit parallel SRAMs. No PCB redesign is needed; only firmware timing adjustments may be required for setup/hold margins.
How many write cycles can M3016316035NX0PBCY endure?
The M3016316035NX0PBCY guarantees 10¹⁴ write cycles per memory location - orders of magnitude beyond flash or EEPROM. This equates to writing once every 3.2 milliseconds continuously for 10 years, making it ideal for high-frequency data logging in smart meters and predictive maintenance sensors.
What is the purpose of UB# and LB# pins on M3016316035NX0PBCY?
The UB# (Upper Byte) and LB# (Lower Byte) pins on M3016316035NX0PBCY enable hardware-selectable 8-bit writes to DQ[15:8] or DQ[7:0] independently. This allows partial-word updates without reading-modifying-writing full 16-bit words - reducing system-level write amplification and improving real-time determinism in control applications.
