Product details
Overview
M95128-RMN6P from STMicroelectronics is a 128-Kbit serial SPI bus EEPROM organized as 16,384 × 8 bits, operating from 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply and supporting 20 MHz clock frequency. It features 64-byte page write capability, 4 million write cycles, 200-year data retention, and hardware/software write protection including quarter/half/whole array lock and an additional 64-byte Identification page with permanent read-only lock capability. It is used in industrial control modules for firmware parameter storage and calibration data logging.
For engineers reviewing the M95128-RMN6P datasheet, M95128-RMN6P pinout, M95128-RMN6P application, or M95128-RMN6P equivalent, this device is selected for low-voltage embedded systems requiring robust nonvolatile memory with fast SPI access, high endurance, and configurable block protection - especially where extended temperature operation (−40 °C to +85 °C) and ECOPACK2® packaging are required.
Technical Context
The M95128-RMN6P implements a standard SPI interface compliant with CPOL=0/CPHA=0 and CPOL=1/CPHA=1 modes, latching input data on rising clock edges and outputting data on falling edges. Its internal architecture includes a high-voltage generator, ECC-enabled sense amplifiers, page latches, and a status register with WIP, WEL, BP1/BP0, and SRWD bits for real-time write state monitoring and protection configuration.
It supports dual protection schemes: software-controlled via Status Register (BP1/BP0 bits) and hardware-enforced via the W pin combined with SRWD bit activation. The Identification page (64 bytes) is accessible only by RDID/WRID instructions and can be permanently locked using LID instruction - a feature absent in M95128-W and M95128-DF variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 128 Kbit (16 Kbytes), organized as 16,384 × 8 bits - sufficient for boot code metadata, calibration tables, or device identity storage in space-constrained designs. |
| Supply voltage range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V logic (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+ peripherals) without level shifters, reducing BOM count. |
| SPI clock frequency | Up to 20 MHz - supports sub-100 µs page writes (≤5 ms), enabling rapid field-updatable configuration in real-time systems. |
| Write endurance | 4 million write cycles per byte - exceeds typical industrial lifecycle requirements (e.g., 10 years at 100 writes/day). |
| Data retention | 200 years at +25 °C - ensures long-term reliability of stored calibration or security keys without refresh mechanisms. |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for use in automotive body controllers, industrial PLC I/O modules, and outdoor metering equipment. |
| Page size | 64 bytes - matches common MCU cache line sizes and simplifies alignment-aware firmware updates. |
| Write protection | Configurable quarter/half/whole array lock via BP1/BP0 bits + hardware W-pin control - prevents accidental overwrites during firmware upgrades or brown-out conditions. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSSOP8 (169 mil width), ECOPACK2®-compliant, RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable with 0.65 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| S | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; falling edge initiates SPI transaction and resets internal state - critical for deterministic power-up sequencing. |
| C | Serial Clock | Master-generated timing signal; rising edge latches input (D), falling edge outputs data (Q) - defines maximum 20 MHz interface bandwidth. |
| D | Serial Data Input | Input for instructions, addresses, and write data; MSB-first protocol requires precise setup/hold timing relative to C. |
| Q | Serial Data Output | Output for read data and status register contents; high-impedance when S is high or HOLD is asserted - enables multi-device SPI bus sharing. |
| W | Write Protect | Hardware lock for Status Register bits (BP1/BP0/SRWD); low + SRWD=1 enables Hardware Protected mode - prevents runtime corruption of protection settings. |
| HOLD | Hold Control | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without deselecting device; allows host MCU to service interrupts while preserving transaction context - reduces software overhead. |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | 1.8–5.5 V power rail; requires local 10–100 nF decoupling capacitor - ensures stable internal HV generation during write cycles. |
| VSS | Ground Reference | Return path for all signals and internal charge pumps; must be low-impedance to prevent tW timing violations during write operations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Identification page (64 bytes) | Dedicated nonvolatile area for secure parameters (e.g., MAC address, calibration coefficients); permanently lockable via LID instruction - eliminates need for external secure storage. |
| Enhanced ESD protection | ±4 kV HBM - improves robustness in handling-sensitive manufacturing environments and field-replaceable modules without additional TVS components. |
| ECOPACK2® packaging | Halogen-free, lead-free TSSOP8 with optimized thermal resistance - meets industrial environmental compliance (RoHS, REACH) and supports automated optical inspection (AOI). |
| Power-on reset (POR) circuit | Internal POR threshold below VCC(min) - prevents spurious writes during power ramp-up, eliminating need for external reset supervisor ICs. |
| Hold functionality | Preserves SPI state during MCU interrupt servicing - avoids retransmission overhead and maintains deterministic latency in time-critical applications like motor control. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT25128B-SSHL-T (Microchip) | 1.8–5.5 V supply, 20 MHz SPI, but lacks Identification page and LID locking; only 1 million write cycles. | No permanent lock for sensitive parameters; unsuitable for regulatory audit trails requiring immutable storage. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for secure parameter lockdown and extended endurance. |
| BR24G128FJ-WE2 (ROHM) | 1.7–5.5 V supply, 10 MHz max clock, integrated write protect pin, but no HOLD function or Identification page. | Limited SPI throughput and missing HOLD increases MCU interrupt latency; no dedicated secure storage area. | Prefer for ultra-low-power (<1 µA standby) applications where speed and advanced protection are secondary. |
Compared with AT25128B-SSHL-T and BR24G128FJ-WE2, M95128-RMN6P uniquely delivers 4M write cycles, 200-year retention, hardware-locked Identification page, and HOLD functionality - making it optimal for safety-critical, audit-ready, and high-update-frequency embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the Identification page in M95128-RMN6P?
The Identification page is a dedicated 64-byte memory region accessible only via RDID/WRID instructions. It stores sensitive application data such as calibration constants or device IDs and can be permanently locked in read-only mode using the LID instruction - a feature not present in M95128-W or M95128-DF variants.
How does the HOLD pin affect SPI communication timing?
When HOLD is driven low while Chip Select (S) is active, the device pauses data transfer without resetting internal state. Serial data output (Q) goes high-impedance, and D/C lines become don't-care. This preserves the exact bit position in ongoing transactions, allowing the host MCU to service interrupts and resume seamlessly - reducing software overhead in real-time systems.
Can M95128-RMN6P operate reliably at 1.8 V with full 20 MHz SPI performance?
Yes. Unlike M95128-W (2.5–5.5 V), the "R" suffix denotes extended low-voltage operation down to 1.8 V while maintaining full 20 MHz clock capability and all functional features including HOLD, Identification page, and hardware write protection - verified per DS1356 Rev 20 AC timing tables.
What happens if the Write Protect (W) pin is left floating during operation?
Leaving W floating violates the absolute maximum ratings and may cause unpredictable behavior: the SRWD bit could inadvertently enable Hardware Protected mode, blocking Status Register writes, or cause intermittent protection failures. STMicroelectronics specifies W must be actively driven high or low - a 10 kΩ pull-up to VCC is recommended for default unprotected operation.
