Product details
Overview
M95160-WMN6P from STMicroelectronics is a 16-Kbit serial SPI bus EEPROM organized as 2048 × 8 bits, operating from 2.5 V to 5.5 V supply and rated for -40°C to +85°C ambient. It supports 20 MHz clock speed, 32-byte page writes completing in ≤5 ms, and offers quarter/half/whole array write protection via status register BP1/BP0 bits. It is used in industrial control modules for storing calibration data and configuration parameters.
For engineers reviewing the M95160-WMN6P datasheet, M95160-WMN6P pinout, M95160-WMN6P application, or M95160-WMN6P equivalent, key selection criteria include SPI mode compatibility (CPOL=0/CPHA=0 or CPOL=1/CPHA=1), VCC range tolerance, page write timing, write cycle endurance (>4 million), and identification page lockability for secure parameter storage.
Technical Context
This EEPROM implements a standard SPI interface with four active control signals: Chip Select (S), Serial Clock (C), Serial Data Input (D), and Serial Data Output (Q). It uses a status register with WIP, WEL, BP1/BP0, and SRWD bits to manage write enable state, protection granularity, and write-protect lock status.
Internal architecture includes an address register and counter, I/O shift register, page decoder, and dedicated identification page (32 bytes) accessible only in M95160-D variants. The device supports Hold functionality to suspend ongoing transfers without deselecting, and operates in Active Power or Standby Power modes based on S signal state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 16 Kbit (2048 × 8 bits) - provides sufficient nonvolatile storage for firmware configuration, sensor calibration tables, and device identity data in space-constrained embedded systems. |
| Interface | SPI bus (CPOL=0/CPHA=0 or CPOL=1/CPHA=1) - ensures interoperability with most microcontrollers' hardware SPI peripherals without bit-banging overhead. |
| Max clock frequency | 20 MHz - enables fast read/write throughput (up to 2.5 MB/s theoretical burst rate), reducing boot-time or update latency in real-time applications. |
| Write time | ≤5 ms per byte or per 32-byte page - guarantees deterministic write completion for time-critical logging or parameter updates without blocking system execution. |
| Endurance | >4 million write cycles - supports frequent field updates (e.g., energy meter kWh counters, industrial loggers) over multi-year product lifetimes. |
| Data retention | >200 years at 25°C - ensures long-term reliability of stored settings even in unpowered storage or infrequently powered devices. |
| Supply voltage | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - accommodates wide-range power domains including 3.3 V logic rails and legacy 5 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Operating temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments where thermal stability is critical. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO8N (ECOPACK2®), 150 mil width, 8-lead plastic small outline. Pin-1 marked by notch or dot; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise convention from top view.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (S) | Chip Select | Active-low enable: drives device into Active Power mode when low; places Q output in high-impedance state when high. |
| 2 (W) | Write Protect | Hardware-level lock: freezes BP1/BP0-defined protection area size during write operations; must be stable during instruction execution. |
| 3 (VSS) | Ground | Signal and supply reference plane; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into SPI timing paths. |
| 4 (D) | Serial Data Input | Input for instructions, addresses, and write data; sampled on rising edge of C; must meet VIH/VIL thresholds per DC specs. |
| 5 (Q) | Serial Data Output | Output for read data and status register contents; driven on falling edge of C; high-impedance when S is high or HOLD is asserted. |
| 6 (C) | Serial Clock | Master-generated timing signal; rising edge latches input, falling edge releases output; polarity configurable per SPI mode. |
| 7 (HOLD) | Hold | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without deselecting device; Q goes high-Z, D/C become don't-care; resumes on HOLD high. |
| 8 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | Power rail for core logic and memory array; requires local 100 nF decoupling near pin to suppress switching noise and ensure tPU compliance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Identification Page | 32-byte dedicated memory region for storing sensitive parameters (e.g., calibration coefficients, MAC addresses); can be permanently locked in read-only mode via Lock ID command. |
| Flexible write protection | Quarter/half/whole memory array lockable via BP1/BP0 bits in status register - enables selective firmware update zones while protecting critical boot configuration. |
| Enhanced ESD protection | ±4 kV HBM rating - improves robustness against handling and board-level electrostatic discharge in manufacturing and field service environments. |
| Low-power standby mode | Typical 1 µA current draw at VCC = 5.5 V and TA = 25°C - reduces system-level quiescent power in battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications. |
| ECOPACK2® packaging | RoHS-compliant, halogen-free SO8N package with optimized thermal and mechanical reliability - meets industrial environmental compliance requirements without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPI EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT25160B-SSHL-T (Microchip) | Same 16 Kbit SPI EEPROM, but supports 1.8–5.5 V supply and 20 MHz max clock; lacks identification page and ECOPACK2® certification. | Broader VCC range suits mixed-voltage designs; no ID page lock limits secure parameter use cases. | Select when wider supply tolerance is required and secure ID storage is unnecessary. |
| BR24G16FJ-3GE2 (ROHM) | 16 Kbit SPI EEPROM with 1.7–5.5 V operation, 10 MHz max clock, and built-in write protect pin; no identification page or hold function. | Lower clock speed limits throughput in high-bandwidth logging; missing HOLD reduces SPI bus arbitration flexibility. | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where 10 MHz timing suffices and bus suspension is not needed. |
Compared with AT25160B-SSHL-T and BR24G16FJ-3GE2, M95160-WMN6P uniquely combines industrial-grade temperature range, identification page lockability, and ECOPACK2® compliance-making it optimal for safety-critical or regulatory-audited systems requiring long-term parameter integrity.

FAQ
What SPI modes does M95160-WMN6P support?
M95160-WMN6P supports two SPI modes: CPOL=0/CPHA=0 and CPOL=1/CPHA=1. In both, data is latched on the rising edge of C and output on the falling edge. The difference lies in idle clock polarity-C remains low in the first mode and high in the second-ensuring compatibility with common MCU SPI peripherals without software reconfiguration.
How is write protection configured on M95160-WMN6P?
Write protection is controlled by BP1 and BP0 bits in the status register, defining quarter, half, or full memory array lock. The W pin provides hardware-level freeze of the protection area size during write operations. Protection is enabled by writing to the status register using WRSR instruction, and BP bits persist through power cycles.
Does M95160-WMN6P include a unique identification page?
Yes-M95160-WMN6P includes a dedicated 32-byte identification page accessible via READ/WRITE ID instructions. This page can store device-specific data such as calibration coefficients or serial numbers and may be permanently locked in read-only mode using the Lock ID command, preventing further writes.
What is the maximum write endurance and data retention specification?
M95160-WMN6P guarantees more than 4 million write/erase cycles and greater than 200 years of data retention at 25°C. These values are validated per JEDEC standards and reflect actual measured performance-not typical or minimum estimates-ensuring long-term reliability in high-update-rate applications like energy metering or industrial logging.
