Product details
Overview
M95160-DRDW8TP/K from STMicroelectronics is a 16-Kbit (2 Kbyte) serial SPI EEPROM with 32-byte page architecture, 105 °C extended temperature rating, and 20 MHz max clock speed at VCC ≥ 4.5 V. It integrates an embedded ECC logic for enhanced data integrity, features a dedicated 32-byte lockable Identification Page, and supports block write protection (1/4, 1/2, or full memory) - deployed in automotive body control modules for calibration storage under high-temperature engine bay conditions.
For engineers reviewing the M95160-DRDW8TP/K datasheet, M95160-DRDW8TP/K pinout, M95160-DRDW8TP/K application, or M95160-DRDW8TP/K equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification, 4 million write cycles at 25 °C, 50-year data retention at 105 °C, and dual-voltage operation (1.7–5.5 V) enabling direct interface with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V microcontrollers.
Technical Context
This SPI EEPROM implements CPOL=0/CPHA=0 and CPOL=1/CPHA=1 modes with input latching on rising clock edge and output shifting on falling edge. Its Status Register includes WIP (Write In Progress), WEL (Write Enable Latch), BP1/BP0 (block protection), and SRWD (Status Register Write Disable) bits - enabling hardware- and software-controlled write protection hierarchies.
The device uses true EEPROM technology with byte-alterable 2048 × 8-bit organization and embeds single-bit Error Correction Code (ECC x 1) per byte. The Identification Page (32 bytes) contains factory-programmed ST device ID (first 3 bytes) and user-configurable fields that can be permanently locked via LID instruction - supporting secure parameter binding in safety-critical firmware updates.

FAQ
What is the function of the HOLD pin on M95160-DRDW8TP/K?
The HOLD pin pauses ongoing SPI communication without deselecting the device or resetting internal state. When driven low while Serial Clock (C) is low, it places Q in high-impedance and ignores D and C transitions. Communication resumes immediately upon HOLD going high with C low - preserving exact bit position in multi-byte transfers. This enables deterministic host interrupt handling without transaction loss.
How does the Identification Page differ from main memory?
The Identification Page is a dedicated 32-byte area separate from the 2 Kbyte main array. Its first 3 bytes contain factory-programmed ST device ID (e.g., 0x20 0x16 0x00); remaining bytes are user-writable. Unlike main memory, this page supports LID (Lock ID) instruction to permanently disable further writes - making it ideal for storing immutable calibration keys or security tokens that must survive firmware updates.
Can M95160-DRDW8TP/K operate reliably at 1.7 V and 105 °C simultaneously?
Yes. The device is fully characterized for DC and AC parameters at 1.7 V and 105 °C per Table 10 and Table 11 in the datasheet. At this condition, maximum SPI clock is 5 MHz, write cycle time remains ≤4 ms, and data retention exceeds 50 years. This dual extreme rating is validated per AEC-Q100 Grade 2 stress testing, including 1000-hour high-temp operating life (HTOL) and temperature cycling.
What protection mechanisms prevent unintended writes to the Status Register?
Two independent mechanisms protect the Status Register: (1) Software control via SRWD bit - when set to 1, the W pin state determines writability; (2) Hardware control via W pin - when SRWD = 1 and W = low, WRSR is discarded and BP1/BP0 become frozen. This dual-layer scheme ensures that critical protection settings cannot be altered by software bugs alone - requiring coordinated hardware and firmware action to modify.
