Product details
Overview
M40Z111MH6E from STMicroelectronics is a 5V non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) supervisor IC that converts standard low-power SRAMs into battery-backed NVRAMs. It provides precision power monitoring, automatic write-protection during VCC out-of-tolerance conditions, and seamless switchover to internal lithium battery backup via SNAPHAT® housing. Key confirmed parameters: VCC = 4.5–5.5V, VPFD = 4.2–4.75V (selectable via THS pin), tEDL ≤ 15ns, ICC = 3–6mA (active), ICCDR = 150nA (data retention). Used in industrial data loggers requiring persistent memory during mains failure.
For engineers reviewing the M40Z111MH6E datasheet, M40Z111MH6E pinout, M40Z111MH6E application, or M40Z111MH6E equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, SOH28 package mapping, real-world SRAM interfacing constraints, battery switchover timing (VSO, VOHB), and validated alternatives for legacy NVRAM supervision in embedded control systems.
Technical Context
The M40Z111MH6E integrates a precision voltage reference and comparator to monitor VCC against programmable power-fail thresholds (VPFD = 4.2–4.75V), with threshold selection via THS pin tied to VSS or VOUT. Its internal analog switch disconnects VCC from VOUT and connects the SNAPHAT® battery at VSO (≈ VPFD – 100mV), delivering VOHB = 2.0–3.6V to sustain SRAM data retention.
During power-down, ECON forces SRAM write-protection within tWPT (40–150µs) after VCC crosses VPFD(min); recovery holds ECON inactive for tER (40–200ms) post-VCC restoration to ensure processor stabilization. Chip enable propagation delay is asymmetric: tEDL = 15ns (low-to-high), tEDH = 10ns (high-to-low), enabling precise SRAM access timing coordination.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - defines compatible SRAM supply rails and system power domain |
| VPFD Threshold | 4.2–4.75V (THS-selectable) - sets precise voltage level at which SRAM write-protection activates |
| tEDL Propagation | ≤15ns - ensures minimal delay between E input assertion and ECON output activation for fast SRAM access |
| ICCDR | 150nA - total current draw during battery backup, directly limiting data retention lifetime with SRAM IRET |
| VSO Switchover | VPFD – 100mV - triggers battery接管 before SRAM VCC dropout violates data retention spec |
| VOHB Output | 2.0–3.6V - maintains SRAM-compatible voltage during battery mode, independent of degraded VCC |
| IOUT2 Backup | 100µA - maximum sustained current from battery to VOUT, constraining supported SRAM count and size |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOH28 - 28-lead plastic small outline (330mil width), RoHS-compliant ECOPACK®, lead-free finish, designed for direct mating with 4-pin SNAPHAT® battery housing (e.g., M4Z28-BR00SH1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,2,3,4,22,23,24,25,26,27,28 | NC | No internal connection - must be left unconnected per design; no pull-up/down required |
| 5,21 | VCC | Main supply input - powers internal circuitry and feeds VOUT via low-dropout switch (Vdrop < 0.3V) |
| 6,20 | NC | No internal connection - floating pins; avoid routing signals nearby to prevent coupling |
| 7,19 | VCC | Redundant VCC pins - improve power delivery integrity and reduce IR drop across package |
| 8,18 | NC | No internal connection - electrically isolated; no impact on functionality |
| 9,17 | NC | No internal connection - unused; PCB layout may omit traces |
| 10,16 | NC | No internal connection - reserved; no function or test access |
| 11 | E | Chip enable input - controls SRAM access; ECON mirrors E during valid VCC, overrides during fault |
| 12 | THS | Threshold select - logic level (VSS or VOUT) selects VPFD range (4.2–4.5V or 4.5–4.75V) |
| 13 | VSS | Ground reference - common return for all internal circuits and external SRAM interface |
| 14 | ECON | Conditioned chip enable - active-low output driving SRAM CE; forced inactive during VCC fault |
| 15 | VOUT | SRAM supply output - sourced from VCC (normal) or SNAPHAT® battery (backup); powers SRAM VCC pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SNAPHAT®-enabled battery integration | SOH28 package includes gold-plated sockets for post-reflow mounting of 4-pin SNAPHAT® housing - prevents thermal damage to Li battery during SMT |
| Programmable power-fail detection | Two VPFD ranges selectable via THS pin (VSS/VOUT) - enables optimization for different SRAM VCC tolerance bands |
| Asymmetric CE timing control | tEDL = 15ns / tEDH = 10ns - preserves SRAM access window integrity during rapid power transitions |
| Guaranteed write-protection hold time | tER = 40–200ms after VCC recovery - ensures microcontroller reset completion before SRAM re-enables |
| Low data retention current | ICCDR = 150nA - minimizes battery drain, extending retention life when paired with low-IRET SRAMs |
Applications
| Industrial Data Logger | Medical Device Memory Backup |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous acquisition of sensor readings in remote field equipment with intermittent AC power. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NVRAM supervisor providing autonomous SRAM write-protection and battery switchover during grid outage.

| Avionics Black Box Recorder | Energy Meter Firmware Storage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NVRAM supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6900APL+ | Single-supply 3.3V operation only; no THS-selectable VPFD; fixed VPFD = 2.93V | Lacks dual-SRAM support and programmable threshold; requires external diode for VCC transient protection | Choose only for 3.3V-only designs where VPFD flexibility and dual-SRAM control are unnecessary |
| DS1230Y-150+T&R | Integrated lithium battery (no SNAPHAT®); 150ns access time; no ECON timing control (static CE override) | Higher power consumption (ICCDR ≈ 1µA); no tER hold time; incompatible with modern RoHS assembly | Select only for legacy repair or where integrated battery simplifies layout despite 7× higher retention current |
Compared with MAX6900APL+ and DS1230Y-150+T&R, the M40Z111MH6E uniquely supports 5V systems with user-selectable VPFD thresholds, dual-SRAM coordination, and guaranteed tER hold time-making it the only option for new industrial designs requiring configurable, standards-compliant NVRAM supervision with post-reflow battery integration.

FAQ
What is the required external SNAPHAT® battery part number for M40Z111MH6E?
The M40Z111MH6E requires a separate 4-pin SNAPHAT® battery housing ordered as M4Z28-BR00SH1 (48mAh) or M4Z32-BR00SH1 (120mAh). These are not included with the SOH28 IC and must be mounted post-reflow. The SNAPHAT® part number is specified in Table 11 of the datasheet and is keyed to prevent reverse insertion.
Can M40Z111MH6E supervise more than one SRAM simultaneously?
Yes, the M40Z111MH6E is explicitly designed to control up to two low-power SRAMs. The ECON output drives the primary SRAM's CE pin, while the secondary SRAM's E2 pin must be tied to VOUT. Both SRAMs must be configured so CE/E2 disables all other inputs-verified in Figure 3 and Section 2 of the datasheet.
How does THS pin configuration affect VPFD voltage selection?
When THS is connected to VSS, VPFD is set to 4.5–4.75V; when THS is connected to VOUT, VPFD shifts to 4.2–4.5V. This dual-threshold capability allows matching the supervisor to specific SRAM VCC tolerance bands. The THS pin must be hard-wired-not floated-as stated in Section 2 and Table 6.
Is a Schottky diode mandatory for M40Z111MH6E operation?
A Schottky diode (e.g., 1N5817) from VCC to VSS is strongly recommended per Section 2.2 to suppress negative-going transients during power cycling. Without it, VCC undershoots below –0.3V in battery-backup mode risk SRAM data corruption-a documented reliability requirement, not optional guidance.
