Product details
Overview
M3016316045NX0PBCY from Renesas Electronics is a 16Mbit parallel asynchronous magneto-resistive RAM (MRAM) with x16 data bus, 45ns 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 fast, reliable data logging in real-time control systems.
For engineers reviewing the M3016316045NX0PBCY datasheet, M3016316045NX0PBCY pinout, M3016316045NX0PBCY application, or M3016316045NX0PBCY equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping, timing behavior, byte-enable operation, and validated alternatives for industrial memory replacement scenarios.
Technical Context
This MRAM implements spin-transfer torque (STT) technology on a 40nm pMTJ process, supporting true random-access reads and writes without erase cycles. Its parallel x16 interface uses standard asynchronous control signals (E#, G#, W#, UB#, LB#) and 20-bit addressing (ADDR[19:0]) for 1,048,576 × 16 organization.
Operation requires strict power sequencing: E#, W#, and G# must track VCC during power-up/down; write inhibition activates below Vwi = 2.1–2.5V. The device guarantees 10¹⁴ write cycles and 10-year data retention at 105°C - enabled by magnetic immunity up to 24,000 A/m during both read and write operations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Density | 16Mbit (1,048,576 × 16 organization) - supports compact firmware storage and real-time data buffers without block management overhead. |
| Access Time | 45ns read/write cycle - enables direct replacement of legacy PSRAM or low-latency NOR in microcontroller-based systems. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V–3.6V - compatible with standard 3.3V industrial rails and tolerant of brownout conditions down to 2.1V (Vwi). |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +105°C - qualified for under-hood automotive ECUs, factory automation controllers, and medical diagnostics hardware. |
| Endurance | 10¹⁴ write cycles - eliminates wear leveling firmware and enables byte-level logging at kHz rates over 10+ years. |
| Data Retention | 10 years at 105°C - ensures data integrity across full thermal life of industrial equipment without backup power or capacitors. |
| Package | 48-ball FBGA (10mm × 10mm) - surface-mount compatible with high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly processes. |
Pinout & Package
48-ball FBGA (10mm × 10mm, balls-down, top view) with 3.3V-compatible I/Os and dedicated byte-enable signaling for x16 data bus segmentation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| E# | Chip Enable | Active-low global enable; must track VCC during power sequencing to prevent undefined state on power-up/down. |
| G# | Output Enable | Active-low control for DQ[15:0] drivers; held high during write, low during read to activate output buffers. |
| W# | Write Enable | Active-low signal that determines direction of DQ bus: low = write, high = read - no separate read/write command register. |
| UB# / LB# | Upper/Lower Byte Enable | Independent active-low controls for DQ[15:8] and DQ[7:0]; enable partial-word writes without masking logic in host controller. |
| ADDR[19:0] | Address Inputs | 20-bit address bus supporting full 16Mbit addressing; no internal address latching - host must hold stable during E#/W# transitions. |
| DQ[15:0] | Bidirectional Data Bus | x16 parallel I/O with Hi-Z control via E#/G#/W#; supports simultaneous upper/lower byte access using UB#/LB#. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Persistent SRAM (P-SRAM) interface | Direct drop-in replacement for volatile PSRAM in existing 35/45ns parallel memory designs - no protocol translation or firmware changes required. |
| 40nm pMTJ STT-MRAM technology | Enables 10¹⁴ endurance and 10-year data retention at 105°C while maintaining low 20mA typical write current and 1.7mA standby current. |
| Byte-selectable write capability | UB#/LB# pins allow independent 8-bit writes to upper or lower byte lanes - reduces bus contention and eliminates need for external byte masking logic. |
| Magnetic field immunity | Rated for 24,000 A/m exposure during both read and write - suitable for deployment near motors, transformers, and high-current conductors without shielding. |
| Industrial-plus temperature grade | Qualified from −40°C to +105°C with guaranteed 45ns timing - supports extended thermal cycling in sealed enclosures and uncooled edge computing nodes. |
Applications

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 CY14B108L-BA45XI | 8Mbit density, 45ns access, SOIC-44 package; uses nvSRAM architecture with internal lithium battery backup. | Limited to 8Mbit and requires battery maintenance; unsuitable for battery-free or long-life deployments beyond 10 years. | Select only if board space allows SOIC-44 and system design accommodates periodic battery replacement. |
| Everspin MR25H10DFM | 1Mbit density, SPI interface, 8-pin SOIC; based on same STT-MRAM technology but serial-only communication. | Requires SPI-to-parallel bridge or MCU firmware rewrite; lacks UB#/LB# byte-select capability and x16 bandwidth. | Choose only for low-pin-count designs where 1Mbit capacity and serial interface are acceptable trade-offs. |
Compared with CY14B108L-BA45XI and MR25H10DFM, M3016316045NX0PBCY uniquely combines 16Mbit density, x16 parallel interface with byte enables, 45ns timing, and battery-free 10¹⁴-cycle endurance - making it the only drop-in solution for upgrading legacy PSRAM/NOR in high-reliability industrial controllers.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of M3016316045NX0PBCY?
M3016316045NX0PBCY features a 1,048,576 × 16 memory array organization - meaning it contains 1,048,576 addressable words, each 16 bits wide, totaling 16,777,216 bits (16Mbit). This structure supports efficient word-aligned access for microcontroller and FPGA interfaces without internal banking or page constraints.
Does M3016316045NX0PBCY require a backup battery or capacitor?
No, M3016316045NX0PBCY is inherently non-volatile and requires no backup battery, capacitor, or external energy storage. Data retention is achieved through magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) physics, guaranteeing 10 years at 105°C without auxiliary power - unlike nvSRAM or FRAM alternatives.
What is the significance of the '0P' in M3016316045NX0PBCY?
The '0P' in M3016316045NX0PBCY denotes the industrial-plus temperature grade (−40°C to +105°C), distinguishing it from the standard industrial grade ('0I', −40°C to +85°C). This rating is validated across all electrical and timing specifications, including 45ns access time and 10¹⁴ endurance, at the full extended range.
Can M3016316045NX0PBCY be used as a direct replacement for standard PSRAM?
Yes, M3016316045NX0PBCY is designed as a pin-and-command compatible replacement for 45ns parallel PSRAM devices. Its identical x16 asynchronous interface, timing parameters, and control signal behavior (E#, G#, W#, UB#, LB#) allow drop-in substitution without PCB or firmware modification in most legacy designs.
What package type does M3016316045NX0PBCY use?
M3016316045NX0PBCY uses a 48-ball FBGA package (10mm × 10mm, balls-down, top view) with 0.8mm ball pitch. This compact, thermally efficient package supports high-density routing and automated assembly, and is distinct from the 44-pin TSOP (for 4Mb) and 54-pin TSOP (for 4–16Mb) variants in the same family.
