Product details
Overview
M95512-DFMC6TG from STMicroelectronics is a 512-Kbit (64-Kbyte) serial SPI bus EEPROM with 1.7 V to 5.5 V single-supply operation, 128-byte page size, and an additional lockable 128-byte Identification page. It supports 16 MHz clock speed, delivers >4 million write cycles, and retains data for >200 years - deployed in industrial sensor calibration storage and embedded firmware parameter retention.
For engineers reviewing the M95512-DFMC6TG datasheet, M95512-DFMC6TG pinout, M95512-DFMC6TG application, or M95512-DFMC6TG equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage compatibility (1.7 V min), hardware/software write protection granularity (quarter/half/whole array + ID page lock), SPI mode support (CPOL/CPHA = 0/0 or 1/1), and ECOPACK2-compliant ultra-compact packaging (WLSCP8, UFDFPN8).
Technical Context
The device implements a standard SPI interface with dedicated HOLD and WRITE PROTECT pins enabling real-time communication suspension and configurable memory locking. Its internal architecture includes a high-voltage generator, ECC-enabled sense amplifiers, and a status register with non-volatile BP1/BP0 and SRWD bits controlling block protection and hardware write disable.
It operates across -40 °C to +85 °C with built-in power-on reset (POR), decoupling capacitor recommendation (10–100 nF), and strict tSHCH timing compliance. The Identification page (addressed via RDID/WRID/LID instructions) provides tamper-resistant storage for calibrated coefficients or security keys, permanently lockable in read-only mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory capacity | 512 Kbit (64 Kbyte), organized as 65536 × 8 bits - sufficient for full bootloader configuration or multi-sensor calibration tables. |
| Supply voltage range | 1.7 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V logic and legacy 3.3 V/5 V systems without level shifters. |
| Page size | 128 bytes - matches typical MCU cache line sizes and minimizes write latency per page (≤5 ms). |
| Write endurance | >4 million cycles - supports daily field firmware updates over 10+ years in remote monitoring devices. |
| Data retention | >200 years at 85 °C - ensures long-term reliability in unattended infrastructure deployments. |
| SPI clock speed | Up to 16 MHz - enables sub-50 µs byte reads and efficient bulk parameter loading in real-time control loops. |
| Operating temperature | -40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial automation, automotive body electronics, and outdoor IoT gateways. |
Pinout & Package
Package: WLSCP8 (1.289 × 1.955 mm), ECOPACK2-compliant wafer-level chip-scale package - optimized for space-constrained portable and wearable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply input | 1.7–5.5 V main supply; requires local 10–100 nF decoupling capacitor for stable SPI timing. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Common return path for all signals; must be low-impedance to prevent noise-induced SPI errors. |
| C | Serial clock input | Timing reference for all SPI transfers; sampled on rising edge for input, drives Q on falling edge. |
| D | Serial data input | Carries instruction codes, addresses, and write data; latched on rising edge of C. |
| Q | Serial data output | Drives read data and status register contents; high-impedance when deselected or in HOLD state. |
| S | Chip select input | Active-low enable; edge-sensitive - requires falling edge after power-up before first instruction. |
| W | Hardware write protect | Controls SRWD bit lock; low + SRWD=1 enables Hardware Protected mode (BP1/BP0 immutable). |
| HOLD | Communication suspend | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without resetting internal state; requires S low to activate. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Identification page | 128-byte dedicated memory area with LID instruction for permanent read-only lock - stores factory-calibrated sensor offsets or cryptographic keys. |
| Flexible write protection | Software-configurable (BP1/BP0) quarter/half/whole array lock + hardware-enforced (W + SRWD) status register freeze - prevents accidental or malicious firmware corruption. |
| Low-voltage operation | 1.7 V minimum VCC enables direct integration with energy-harvesting subsystems and battery-powered edge nodes. |
| ECOPACK2 packaging | WLSCP8 footprint (1.289 × 1.955 mm) reduces PCB area by >70% vs. SO8N - critical for miniaturized medical wearables and smart tags. |
| SPI mode compatibility | Supports both CPOL=0/CPHA=0 and CPOL=1/CPHA=1 - interoperable with STM32, ESP32, Nordic nRF52, and TI MSP430 SPI peripherals without mode reconfiguration. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Calibration | Embedded Firmware Parameter Storage |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial SPI EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT25DF512C-SSH-T | 512 Kbit SPI flash (not EEPROM); no built-in Identification page; 2.7–3.6 V only. | Lacks hardware-lockable ID page and 1.7 V operation; requires external wear-leveling for frequent writes. | Select only if cost-sensitive and write frequency <1000 cycles/year; not suitable for calibration-critical roles. |
| M95512-DRMN6TP | Same die, TSSOP8 (169 mil) package; identical electrical specs and feature set. | Requires larger PCB footprint (3 × 4.4 mm vs. WLSCP8's 1.29 × 1.96 mm); less suited for ultra-thin wearables. | Choose for manual assembly, test fixture compatibility, or thermal dissipation needs exceeding WLSCP8 limits. |
Compared with AT25DF512C-SSH-T and M95512-DRMN6TP, M95512-DFMC6TG uniquely combines 1.7 V operation, lockable ID page, and WLSCP8 miniaturization - making it optimal for battery-constrained, calibration-intensive, and space-limited embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the HOLD pin on M95512-DFMC6TG?
The HOLD pin pauses ongoing SPI communication without deselecting the device or resetting internal state. When driven low while Chip Select (S) is active, Serial Data Output (Q) goes high-impedance and Clock (C)/Data (D) become don't-care. This allows the host MCU to service higher-priority interrupts mid-transfer and resume seamlessly - critical for deterministic real-time systems.
How does the Identification page differ from the main memory array?
The Identification page is a dedicated 128-byte region accessible only via RDID/WRID/LID instructions - separate from the main 64-Kbyte array. Once locked via LID, it becomes permanently read-only, protecting factory-programmed calibration data or security keys from overwrite. Unlike main array protection (BP1/BP0), ID page lock is irreversible and hardware-enforced.
Can M95512-DFMC6TG operate reliably at 1.7 V during power-up sequences?
Yes - the device incorporates a power-on-reset (POR) circuit that holds the IC inactive until VCC exceeds the POR threshold (below 1.7 V). Once stable, it enters Standby mode and requires a falling edge on Chip Select (S) before accepting commands. This ensures robust initialization even with slow-ramp or noisy 1.7 V supplies common in energy-harvesting designs.
What SPI modes does M95512-DFMC6TG support, and why does it matter?
M95512-DFMC6TG supports CPOL=0/CPHA=0 and CPOL=1/CPHA=1 - the two most widely implemented SPI modes. Input data is latched on the rising edge of C, and output data appears on the falling edge. This dual-mode compatibility eliminates firmware rework when migrating between MCUs (e.g., STM32 vs. ESP32) and avoids signal integrity issues caused by mismatched clock polarity assumptions.
