Product details
Overview
M95640-RDW6TP from STMicroelectronics is a 64-Kbit serial SPI bus EEPROM organized as 8192 × 8 bits, operating from 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply with -40 °C to +85 °C temperature range. It features 32-byte page write, 20 MHz clock support, and an additional 32-byte lockable identification page for secure parameter storage - used in industrial control modules requiring nonvolatile configuration retention.
For engineers reviewing the M95640-RDW6TP datasheet, M95640-RDW6TP pinout, M95640-RDW6TP application, or M95640-RDW6TP equivalent, key selection factors include its 1.8 V minimum VCC, hardware/software write protection architecture, 3.4 ms typical page write time, and ECOPACK2-compliant TSSOP8 package with verified HOLD and W pin functionality.
Technical Context
This device implements a standard SPI interface compliant with CPOL=0/CPHA=0 and CPOL=1/CPHA=1 modes, latching input data on rising C edge and outputting on falling C edge. Its internal architecture includes a status register with WIP, WEL, BP1/BP0, and SRWD bits, enabling configurable quarter-block software protection and hardware-locked status register writes when W is low and SRWD is set.
Memory access uses MSB-first 16-bit addressing (A12–A0), with dedicated RDID/WRID instructions for the identification page. The HOLD pin suspends communication without resetting internal state, while the built-in POR circuit prevents spurious writes during power-up, ensuring reliable initialization before first S falling edge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 64 Kbit (8 Kbytes), organized as 8192 × 8 bits - supports full firmware parameter storage in compact embedded nodes. |
| Supply voltage | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V logic and legacy 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers without level shifters. |
| Page size | 32 bytes - matches typical MCU cache line or packet payload sizes for efficient bulk writes without fragmentation. |
| Write cycle time | Typically 3.4 ms per byte/page - allows sub-4 ms configuration updates in real-time diagnostics systems. |
| Clock frequency | Up to 20 MHz - supports high-throughput logging at >2 MB/s effective serial throughput (with overhead). |
| Data retention | 200 years at 25 °C - ensures long-term calibration data integrity across product lifecycle without refresh. |
| Endurance | 4 million write cycles - sustains daily reconfiguration over 10+ years in field-deployed IoT gateways. |
| ESD rating | HBM 4000 V - provides robustness against handling and board-level ESD events in manufacturing environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSSOP8 (169 mil width), ECOPACK2-compliant, surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| S | Chip select | Active-low enable; falling edge required after power-up before any instruction; deselects device and places Q in high-Z. |
| C | Serial clock | Input timing reference; rising edge latches D, falling edge outputs Q; supports 20 MHz max frequency. |
| D | Serial data input | MSB-first input for instructions, addresses, and write data; sampled on rising C edge. |
| Q | Serial data output | MSB-first output for read data and status register; driven on falling C edge; high-Z when S high or HOLD active. |
| HOLD | Communication hold | Active-low pause signal; requires S low to activate; suspends ongoing transfer without resetting internal state. |
| W | Hardware write protect | Controls SRWD bit effect: when W low and SRWD=1, status register becomes permanently read-only. |
| VCC | Supply voltage | 1.8–5.5 V power input; requires local 10–100 nF decoupling capacitor near pins for stable operation. |
| VSS | Ground | Reference for all signals and VCC; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Lockable identification page | 32-byte dedicated memory area that can be permanently locked to read-only mode via LID instruction - secures device-specific calibration or cryptographic keys. |
| Software block protection | BP1/BP0 bits configure upper quarter/half or full array as write-protected - enables selective firmware update zones without external hardware. |
| Schmitt trigger inputs | All digital inputs (S, C, D, HOLD, W) include noise filtering - eliminates false triggering in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| Enhanced ESD/latch-up immunity | HBM 4000 V rating and latch-up immunity per AEC-Q100 Class 2 - suitable for automotive body electronics and factory automation interfaces. |
| Power-on reset (POR) | Internal POR circuit holds device inactive until VCC exceeds threshold - prevents corruption during brown-out or slow-ramp power-up sequences. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT25DF641A-MAU-T | 64 Mbit density, quad SPI interface, 3.0–3.6 V only, no HOLD pin, 100-year retention | Larger capacity but narrower voltage range; lacks HOLD and identification page locking | Select when higher density and quad-speed reads are needed, and 1.8 V operation is not required. |
| BR24G64FJ-WE2 | I²C interface, 1.7–5.5 V, 1 MHz max clock, no identification page, 1 million endurance cycles | Slower interface, no HOLD or software block protection; simpler protocol but lower robustness | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer designs where SPI is unavailable and write endurance <4M is acceptable. |

FAQ
What is the function of the HOLD pin on M95640-RDW6TP?
The HOLD pin pauses ongoing SPI communication without deselecting the device or resetting internal state. When driven low while chip select (S) is active, it places Q in high-impedance and ignores D and C transitions. This allows the host MCU to temporarily suspend EEPROM access - for example, during interrupt servicing - then resume exactly where it left off upon releasing HOLD.
How does the identification page differ from main memory?
The identification page is a dedicated 32-byte memory region accessible only via RDID/WRID instructions. Unlike main memory, it supports permanent locking via the LID instruction - once locked, it becomes read-only and cannot be rewritten, even with WEL set. This makes it ideal for storing immutable device-specific data like calibration constants or cryptographic keys.
Can M95640-RDW6TP operate reliably at 1.8 V with 20 MHz clock?
Yes - the "R" suffix denotes 1.8 V to 5.5 V operation, and the datasheet specifies 20 MHz maximum clock frequency across the full 1.8–5.5 V range. At 1.8 V, AC timing parameters (e.g., tCH, tCL) remain within spec, and internal charge pump ensures sufficient programming voltage for EEPROM cells without external boost circuitry.
What happens if W is pulled low while SRWD = 0?
No protection is activated - the W pin has no effect unless SRWD = 1. When SRWD = 0, W is ignored and software write protection (via BP1/BP0) remains fully functional. Only when SRWD = 1 does W become active: pulling W low then disables all status register writes (WRSR), freezing BP1/BP0 and SRWD values permanently until next power cycle.
