Product details
Overview
R1EX25016ASA00A from Renesas Electronics is a 16-kbit (2048 × 8-bit) Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) EEPROM with MONOS memory technology, operating from 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply, supporting up to 3 MHz clock at 1.8 V and 5 MHz at ≥2.5 V, and delivering 1,000k write cycles and 100-year data retention at 25 °C - used for nonvolatile parameter storage in consumer audio equipment and camcorders.
For engineers reviewing the R1EX25016ASA00A datasheet, R1EX25016ASA00A pinout, R1EX25016ASA00A application, or R1EX25016ASA00A equivalent, key selection considerations include SPI mode 0/3 compatibility, 32-byte page write capability, hardware write protection via W and HOLD pins, −40 to +85 °C industrial temperature range, and SOP-8 package with PRSP0008DF-B footprint.
Technical Context
This SPI EEPROM implements a serial interface compliant with SPI modes 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1), using a 16-bit address space with A15–A11 as don't-care bits for the 2048-word organization. It integrates an internal high-voltage generator for byte/page programming and features automatic page write with 32-byte boundaries.
The device uses a status register with WIP, WEL, BP1/BP0, and SRWD bits to manage write enable state, block protection granularity, and hardware-protected mode when combined with the W pin. All instructions - including READ, WRITE, WREN, WRDI, RDSR, and WRSR - are executed via 8-bit opcodes shifted on the rising edge of C, with data output synchronized to the falling edge of C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 16 kbit (2048 × 8-bit); supports full memory read/write with auto-incremented addressing |
| Supply voltage | 1.8 V to 5.5 V; enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic systems |
| Max clock frequency | 5 MHz at VCC ≥ 2.5 V; 3 MHz at VCC = 1.8 V to 5.5 V - defines maximum SPI transaction throughput |
| Page write size | 32 bytes per page; reduces total write time versus byte-write by up to 32× for contiguous data |
| Write cycle time | 5 ms minimum at VCC ≥ 2.5 V; 8 ms minimum at VCC = 1.8 V - determines worst-case firmware delay after write command |

| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications outside automotive safety zones |
Pinout & Package
Package: 150-mil 8-pin plastic SOP (PRSP0008DF-B / FP-8DBV), lead-free, surface-mount.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V; must be decoupled locally to suppress SPI switching noise |
| VSS | Ground reference | Common return path for all I/O and core logic; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| S | Chip select input | Active-low enable; must fall before first clock edge to initiate instruction decode |
| C | Serial clock input | Drives timing for all SPI transactions; rising edge latches D, falling edge outputs Q |
| D | Serial data input | Receives opcodes, addresses, and write data; sampled on rising edge of C |
| Q | Serial data output | Drives read data and status register contents; changes on falling edge of C |
| W | Write protect input | Hardware lock for BP1/BP0 bits when SRWD = 1; must be stable during writes |
| HOLD | Communication pause control | Halts ongoing SPI transfer without deselecting device; Q goes high-Z while active |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MONOS memory technology | Enables ultra-high endurance (1M cycles) and 100-year data retention without charge-pump wear-out mechanisms |
| 32-byte page programming | Reduces average write latency for multi-byte updates - e.g., 32-byte calibration table stored in one 5–8 ms cycle |
| Hardware + software write protection | Combines W pin and BP1/BP0 bits to define protected memory blocks (¼, ½, or full array), preventing accidental overwrites |
| SPI mode 0 and 3 support | Interoperates with diverse microcontrollers including ARM Cortex-M, Renesas RL78, and legacy 8051 derivatives |
| Low-power standby | 3 µA max ICC at 5.5 V enables always-on configuration storage in battery-backed systems |

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) | 16 kbit SPI EEPROM, 2.5–5.5 V supply, 20 MHz max clock, 1M endurance, SOIC-8 package | Higher speed and wider VCC range but lacks HOLD pin and MONOS-level retention | Preferred where faster write throughput is required and 100-year retention is not mandatory |
| M95160-DRMN8TP/K (STMicroelectronics) | 16 kbit SPI EEPROM, 1.8–5.5 V, 20 MHz, 1M endurance, TSSOP-8 package, built-in write protection | Same voltage range and endurance, but uses different status register layout and no HOLD functionality | Selected when TSSOP-8 footprint is preferred and HOLD signal is unused in target design |
Compared with R1EX25016ASA00A, AT25160B offers higher clock speed but sacrifices HOLD functionality and long-term data retention; M95160-DRMN8TP/K matches voltage and endurance specs but requires redesign for pinout and status register handling - making R1EX25016ASA00A optimal for cost-sensitive, hold-capable, long-life consumer applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by R1EX25016ASA00A?
R1EX25016ASA00A supports up to 5 MHz when VCC is 2.5 V to 5.5 V, and up to 3 MHz across the full 1.8 V to 5.5 V range. The lower frequency limit at 1.8 V ensures stable timing margins under minimum supply conditions, and both modes comply with SPI clock setup/hold requirements per the AC characteristics table in the datasheet.
Does R1EX25016ASA00A support hardware write protection?
Yes, R1EX25016ASA00A supports hardware write protection through the combination of the W pin and the SRWD bit in the status register. When SRWD = 1 and W is driven low, the device enters Hardware Protected Mode, locking BP1/BP0 and SRWD bits against modification - preventing accidental or malicious overwrite of protected memory regions.
What package type is used for R1EX25016ASA00A?
R1EX25016ASA00A uses a 150-mil 8-pin plastic SOP package (PRSP0008DF-B / FP-8DBV), which is lead-free and RoHS-compliant. This standard footprint is compatible with automated SMT assembly and widely supported in PCB libraries for consumer and industrial designs.
How many write cycles can R1EX25016ASA00A endure at 85 °C?
R1EX25016ASA00A guarantees 100k write cycles at 85 °C, as specified in the Memory Cell Characteristics table. This derated endurance reflects accelerated wear at elevated temperature while maintaining full functionality within its −40 to +85 °C operating range.
Is R1EX25016ASA00A compatible with SPI mode 1 or 2?
No, R1EX25016ASA00A is explicitly compatible only with SPI mode 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) and mode 3 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1), as stated in the Features section. It does not support mode 1 or mode 2 due to fixed sampling on the rising edge of C and output on the falling edge - a requirement incompatible with CPHA = 1 in mode 1 or CPOL = 1 in mode 2.
