Product details
Overview
M95128-RMN6TP 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 voltage with 20 MHz clock support. It features 64-byte page write capability (≤5 ms), 4 million write cycles, 200-year data retention, and hardware/software write protection including quarter/half/whole array lock via BP1/BP0 bits in the Status register. Used in industrial control modules for nonvolatile parameter storage during power loss.
For engineers reviewing the M95128-RMN6TP datasheet, M95128-RMN6TP pinout, M95128-RMN6TP application, or M95128-RMN6TP equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.8 V minimum VCC, TSSOP8 (169 mil) package compatibility, Identification page support (64 bytes, lockable), dual SPI mode (CPOL/CPHA = 0/0 or 1/1), and enhanced ESD protection per ECOPACK2® standard.
Technical Context
This EEPROM implements a synchronous serial peripheral interface compliant with SPI modes 0 and 3, using edge-triggered latching: data input (D) sampled on rising C, output (Q) valid on falling C. Internal high-voltage generator enables byte/page programming without external VPP.
It integrates a nonvolatile Status register with SRWD, BP1/BP0, WEL, and WIP bits - enabling flexible memory protection schemes. The HOLD pin allows pausing ongoing transfers without chip deselection, preserving internal state and clock alignment across multi-master SPI systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 128 Kbit (16 Kbytes), organized as 16384 × 8 bits - supports firmware configuration storage in resource-constrained microcontrollers. |
| Supply voltage range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V logic families and legacy 3.3 V/5 V systems without level shifters. |
| Max clock frequency | 20 MHz - reduces full-array read time to <13 ms, critical for fast boot-time parameter loading. |
| Write endurance | 4 million cycles - supports daily calibration updates over 10+ years in industrial sensor nodes. |
| Data retention | 200 years at +25 °C - ensures long-term reliability in unattended infrastructure monitoring equipment. |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for deployment in outdoor telecom cabinets and factory-floor PLCs. |
| Page size | 64 bytes - matches typical MCU cache line sizes and minimizes wasted write overhead in small-data updates. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP8 (169 mil width) package per ECOPACK2® standard, 8-pin surface-mount with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| S | Chip select | Active-low enable signal; falling edge required after power-up before first instruction - prevents spurious writes during VCC ramp. |
| C | Serial clock | Input timing reference; data latched on rising edge (D), output shifted on falling edge (Q) - supports CPOL/CPHA = 0/0 or 1/1. |
| D | Serial data input | MSB-first instruction/address/data input path; accepts WREN, WRITE, WRSR, RDID commands - requires stable setup/hold relative to C. |
| Q | Serial data output | MSB-first read data output; 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 accidental reconfiguration of protection settings. |
| HOLD | Communication hold | Pauses active SPI transfer without resetting internal state; Q goes high-Z, D/C ignored - used for priority interrupt handling in real-time systems. |
| VCC | Supply voltage | 1.8–5.5 V power rail; requires local 10–100 nF decoupling capacitor - ensures stable internal HV generator operation during write cycles. |
| VSS | Ground | Reference for all I/O and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into sensitive analog blocks. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Identification page | 64-byte dedicated memory block with permanent lock (LID command) - stores calibrated sensor offsets or cryptographic keys immune to field firmware updates. |
| Flexible write protection | Software-configurable (BP1/BP0) quarter/half/full array lock plus hardware W pin control - enables layered security for bootloader vs. application data partitions. |
| Power-on reset (POR) | Internal POR circuit holds device inactive until VCC exceeds threshold - eliminates need for external reset IC in space-constrained designs. |
| ECOPACK2® packaging | TSSOP8 with halogen-free, RoHS-compliant materials and optimized thermal resistance - meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3). |
| Dual SPI mode support | Native compatibility with both CPOL=0/CPHA=0 and CPOL=1/CPHA=1 - interoperates with diverse MCU families (STM32, PIC, NXP Kinetis) without software abstraction layer. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Configuration Storage | Medical Device Calibration Data |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Storing I/O mapping tables and PID tuning parameters in programmable logic controllers that undergo frequent firmware updates but require persistent runtime settings.

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 | 1.8–5.5 V supply, 20 MHz max clock, but lacks Identification page and LID/RDID/WRID instructions. | No hardware-lockable calibration storage; unsuitable for regulated medical or metrology use cases requiring immutable parameter archives. | Select when only basic parameter storage is needed and BOM cost is prioritized over security features. |
| BR24G128FJ-WE2 | I²C interface (not SPI), 1.7–5.5 V, 1 MHz max clock, integrated address pins for multi-device addressing. | Requires I²C-capable MCU; slower write throughput limits suitability for high-frequency logging or fast-boot scenarios. | Select for space-constrained designs where I²C bus already exists and SPI pins are unavailable. |
Compared with AT25128B-SSHL-T and BR24G128FJ-WE2, M95128-RMN6TP uniquely combines SPI speed, low-voltage operation, and hardware-enforced calibration page locking - making it optimal for safety-critical or audit-trail-sensitive embedded systems where data integrity is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the function of the HOLD pin on M95128-RMN6TP?
The HOLD pin pauses ongoing SPI communication without deselecting the device or resetting internal state. When asserted low during an active transfer, Q goes high-impedance and D/C are ignored, allowing the host MCU to service higher-priority interrupts. Communication resumes transparently upon deassertion, preserving bit alignment and transaction context - essential for deterministic real-time systems.
How does the Identification page differ from main memory in M95128-RMN6TP?
The Identification page is a dedicated 64-byte memory region accessible only via RDID/WRID/LID commands. Unlike main array pages, it supports permanent read-only locking via the LID instruction - once locked, no subsequent WRID or WRITE can modify it. This enables secure storage of calibration constants, device serial numbers, or cryptographic keys that must survive field firmware updates.
Can M95128-RMN6TP operate reliably at 1.8 V while running at 20 MHz?
Yes - the M95128-R variant is explicitly characterized for full functionality (including 20 MHz clock, 5 ms page write, and status register access) across its entire 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply range. DC and AC parameters in DS1356 Rev 20 confirm tCL, tCH, tDS, and tDH meet specification at VCC = 1.8 V, enabling direct interface with ultra-low-power 1.8 V MCUs without voltage translation.
What happens if Chip select (S) is driven high mid-transfer on M95128-RMN6TP?
Driving S high mid-transfer terminates the current instruction sequence and places the device in Standby mode. If a WRITE or WRSR command was partially received, the incomplete instruction is discarded and no write occurs. However, if S rises precisely after the eighth bit of a valid WRITE command, the internal write cycle initiates immediately - this behavior is leveraged in standard SPI write protocols to trigger programming without additional handshaking.
