Product details
Overview
M95512-DFMN6TP from STMicroelectronics is a 512-Kbit (64-Kbyte) serial SPI 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 ≤5 ms byte/page write time, and guarantees >4 million write cycles and >200-year data retention across –40 °C to +85 °C. Used in industrial control modules for storing calibrated sensor offsets and firmware configuration parameters.
For engineers reviewing the M95512-DFMN6TP datasheet, M95512-DFMN6TP pinout, M95512-DFMN6TP application, or M95512-DFMN6TP equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage compatibility (1.7 V min), hardware/software write protection granularity (quarter/half/whole array), Identification page lockability, and ECOPACK2-compliant WLCSP8 packaging for space-constrained PCBs.
Technical Context
The M95512-DF implements a standard SPI interface with CPOL=0/CPHA=0 or CPOL=1/CPHA=1 mode support, using dedicated D (input), Q (output), C (clock), S (chip select), W (write protect), and HOLD (communication pause) signals. Its internal architecture includes a status register with non-volatile BP1/BP0 bits for software block protection and SRWD bit enabling hardware-locked protection when W is low.
It features an on-chip high-voltage generator and ECC logic for reliability, plus a dedicated Identification page (128 bytes) accessible only via RDID/WRID/LID instructions - absent in M95512-W/R variants. The device enters Standby mode when S is high (no write in progress) and Active mode when S is low, with current consumption scaling accordingly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 512 Kbit (64 Kbyte), organized as 65536 × 8 bits - sufficient for full bootloader config + calibration tables in edge-node devices. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.7 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V microcontrollers and legacy 3.3 V/5 V systems without level shifters. |
| Write Time | ≤5 ms per byte or per 128-byte page - allows rapid field updates during device initialization or over-the-air parameter sync. |
| Write Endurance | >4 million write cycles - supports daily reconfiguration in programmable logic controllers over 10+ years of operation. |
| Data Retention | >200 years at 25 °C - ensures firmware metadata integrity across product lifetime without refresh mechanisms. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for use in automotive body control modules and industrial motor drives. |
| SPI Clock Speed | Up to 16 MHz - enables <100 µs read latency for 16-bit configuration words, critical for real-time control loops. |
Pinout & Package
Package: WLSCP8 (WLCSP, 1.289 × 1.955 mm, ECOPACK2-compliant), suitable for ultra-compact portable and wearable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D | Serial Data Input | Latches instruction/address/data on rising edge of C; enables command decoding and memory writes. |
| Q | Serial Data Output | Drives read data on falling edge of C; high-impedance when deselected or in HOLD state. |
| C | Serial Clock | Master-generated timing signal; defines data sampling (D) and output (Q) edges per SPI mode. |
| S | Chip Select | Active-low enable; must transition low after power-up before first instruction; edge-sensitive reset behavior prevents spurious writes. |
| W | Write Protect | Hardware lock for Status Register (BP1/BP0/SRWD); when low + SRWD=1, disables WRSR and enforces permanent read-only protection. |
| HOLD | Communication Hold | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without deselecting device; Q goes high-Z, D/C ignored - useful during MCU interrupt servicing. |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | 1.7–5.5 V input; requires local 10–100 nF decoupling capacitor to maintain stability during write cycles. |
| VSS | Ground Reference | Common return path for all I/O and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance to ensure noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Identification Page | 128-byte dedicated memory area with RDID/WRID/LID instructions - stores immutable device IDs or cryptographic keys that can be permanently locked. |
| Flexible Write Protection | Three-tier software block protection (none / upper quarter / upper half / full array) via BP1/BP0 bits - enables selective firmware partitioning. |
| Hardware + Software Lock | SRWD bit + W pin combination creates irreversible hardware-protected mode - prevents accidental or malicious Status Register modification. |
| Enhanced Reliability | On-chip ECC and high-voltage generator ensure bit-level integrity during write/erase; >4M cycle endurance validated per JEDEC JESD22-A117. |
| Low-Voltage Operation | 1.7 V minimum VCC enables direct integration with energy-harvesting subsystems and battery-powered sensors. |

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, 2.3–3.6 V supply, no Identification page, 8-pin SOIC only | Lacks hardware-lockable ID page and 1.7 V operation; limited to narrow-voltage embedded systems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs low-voltage flexibility and secure ID storage needs. |
| MX25L51245GZUI | 512 Kbit, 2.7–3.6 V supply, no BP1/BP0 software protection, no HOLD pin | Missing quarter/half-array write lock and communication hold capability - unsuitable for interrupt-driven hosts | Choose only for simple, fixed-config applications where host has full control over write sequencing and voltage stability. |

FAQ
What is the function of the HOLD pin on M95512-DFMN6TP?
The HOLD pin pauses ongoing SPI communication without deselecting the device or resetting internal state. When asserted low while S is low, Q goes high-impedance and D/C are ignored - allowing the host MCU to service interrupts or perform other tasks while preserving transaction context. It resumes automatically when HOLD returns high, eliminating need for reinitialization.
How does the Identification page differ from main memory in M95512-DFMN6TP?
The Identification page is a separate 128-byte memory region accessible only via RDID/WRID/LID instructions - not through standard READ/WRITE commands. Once locked via LID, it becomes permanently read-only, protecting device-specific data like serial numbers or cryptographic keys from overwrite, even if main array protection is disabled.
Can M95512-DFMN6TP operate reliably at 1.7 V during write operations?
Yes - the M95512-DF variant is fully specified for write operations down to 1.7 V, including ≤5 ms page writes and status register updates. This is validated across –40 °C to +85 °C and confirmed in DS4192 Rev 24 AC timing tables (tW, tWH, tWL), distinguishing it from M95512-W/R variants with higher minimum VCC.
What happens if the W pin is driven low while SRWD = 0?
Driving W low with SRWD = 0 has no effect on memory protection - only the BP1/BP0 bits govern array write lock. SRWD must be set to 1 first (via WRSR), then W driven low, to activate Hardware Protected mode. In that state, WRSR is rejected and BP1/BP0/SRWD become read-only until next power cycle.
