Product details
Overview
M95020-RMB6TG from STMicroelectronics is a 2-Kbit (256-byte) serial SPI bus EEPROM with 1.8 V to 5.5 V single-supply operation, 20 MHz max clock frequency, and industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C). It features page-write capability (16-byte pages), >4 million write cycles, and 200-year data retention - deployed in embedded systems for firmware parameter storage, calibration data logging, and configuration backup.
For engineers reviewing the M95020-RMB6TG datasheet, M95020-RMB6TG pinout, M95020-RMB6TG application, or M95020-RMB6TG equivalent, key selection criteria include supply voltage compatibility (1.8–5.5 V), SPI mode support (CPOL/CPHA = 0/0 or 1/1), hardware/software write protection granularity, ECC-enabled read reliability, and TSSOP8 package suitability for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a standard SPI interface with dedicated HOLD and WRITE PROTECT inputs for real-time communication suspension and memory region locking. Its internal architecture includes an ECC x1 logic block per byte, transparently correcting single-bit errors during read operations without software intervention.
The status register contains non-volatile BP1/BP0 bits controlling quarter/half/whole-array write protection, plus volatile WEL and WIP bits for dynamic write enable state and in-progress cycle monitoring - all accessible via RDSR/WRSR instructions with strict timing requirements on chip select edge alignment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 2 Kbit (256 × 8-bit array) - supports compact configuration storage without over-provisioning. |
| Supply voltage | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| Max SPI clock | 20 MHz - allows high-throughput parameter updates (e.g., <5 ms page writes) in time-critical boot sequences. |
| Write endurance | >4 million cycles - ensures reliable field recalibration across product lifetime in industrial sensor nodes. |
| Data retention | >200 years at +25 °C - guarantees long-term integrity of factory-trimmed coefficients and security keys. |
| Operating temp | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and outdoor industrial gateways. |
| ECC support | Single-bit error correction per byte - eliminates need for external CRC checks in safety-critical configuration reads. |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in RoHS-compliant, halogen-free TSSOP8 (169 mil width) package - optimized for automated SMT assembly and thermal performance in dense control boards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| S | Chip select | Active-low enable signal; falling edge required before first instruction; deselects device and places Q in high-impedance state. |
| C | Serial clock | Input timing reference; latches D on rising edge, drives Q on falling edge; supports CPOL=0/CPHA=0 and CPOL=1/CPHA=1 modes. |
| D | Serial data input | MSB-first input for instructions, addresses, and write data; sampled on rising edge of C. |
| Q | Serial data output | MSB-first output for memory/status/ID data; driven only when S is low; high-impedance when S is high or HOLD is active. |
| W | Write protect | Hardware-level lock: held low to disable all write operations regardless of WEL or BP bits - used for fail-safe configuration lockdown. |
| HOLD | Communication hold | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without resetting internal state; requires S low and C low for valid assertion/deassertion. |
| VCC | Supply voltage | 1.8–5.5 V power rail; must be stable before any instruction; decoupling capacitor (10–100 nF) required near pins. |
| VSS | Ground | Reference for all I/O and internal circuitry; must be connected directly to system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Page-write architecture | 16-byte pages enable efficient bulk updates (e.g., full calibration table) within ≤5 ms, reducing MCU wait time vs. byte-write. |
| Software block protection | BP1/BP0 bits in status register allow runtime-selectable write lock of upper quarter, half, or entire array - ideal for preserving bootloader settings. |
| Hold function | Enables deterministic pause/resume of SPI transfers during interrupt servicing - avoids reinitialization overhead in RTOS environments. |
| Power-on reset (POR) | Guarantees WEL=0 and WIP=0 at startup, preventing spurious writes during voltage ramp-up - critical for unattended field deployments. |
| Enhanced ESD protection | Withstands >4 kV HBM - improves robustness in handling-sensitive manufacturing and repair workflows. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Configuration Storage | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial SPI EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT25DF021A-SSH-T | 2 Mbit density, 85 MHz max clock, no built-in ECC, requires external VP for sector erase | Targeted at firmware code storage, not parameter EEPROM use; lacks hardware W pin and BP granularity | Select only if higher density and faster clock are mandatory and ECC can be implemented in firmware. |
| BR24G02FJ-3GE2 | I²C interface (not SPI), 1.7–5.5 V, 1 MHz max clock, no HOLD pin, no identification page | Used where board space permits larger pitch packages and MCU has limited SPI peripherals but available I²C lines | Choose only when SPI bus is fully allocated and I²C timing budget allows slower 1 ms writes. |
Compared with AT25DF021A-SSH-T and BR24G02FJ-3GE2, M95020-RMB6TG delivers optimal balance of SPI compatibility, hardware-assisted write protection, ECC reliability, and industrial-grade voltage/temperature margin - making it the preferred choice for parameter-critical embedded control applications.

FAQ
Does M95020-RMB6TG support both SPI Mode 0 and Mode 3?
Yes - it operates in CPOL=0/CPHA=0 (Mode 0) and CPOL=1/CPHA=1 (Mode 3), with input data latched on the rising edge of C and output data valid on the falling edge. The device ignores invalid clock polarity/phase combinations and enters wait state until deselected.
What happens if the HOLD pin is asserted mid-transfer?
When HOLD is driven low while S is low and C is low, the device immediately places Q in high-impedance state and ignores further D and C transitions. Communication resumes from the exact bit position upon HOLD deassertion - no re-synchronization or restart is needed.
Can the identification page be used on M95020-RMB6TG?
No - the identification page (RDID/WRID/LID instructions) is exclusive to M95040-DF order codes. M95020-RMB6TG implements only the standard 256-byte memory array and status register; its instruction set excludes identification-page-specific opcodes.
How is write protection enforced when both W pin and BP bits are active?
Hardware write protection via the W pin takes precedence: if W is low, all write operations (WRITE, WRSR, etc.) are blocked regardless of BP1/BP0 state or WEL status. BP bits only apply when W is high and WEL is set - enabling selective software-based locking of memory regions.
