Memory IC Feature Summary

• Non-volatile magnetic storage architecture providing instant-on capability without power loss
• High-speed Octal SPI interface supporting data transfer rates up to 200 MHz
• Robust endurance characteristics suitable for frequent write-intensive applications

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring persistent configuration storage
• Automotive electronics demanding high reliability and temperature stability
• IoT devices needing low-power non-volatile memory solutions

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CS1R against official Everspin documentation to confirm packaging and environmental compliance details. Ensure compatibility with the target system's voltage levels and thermal requirements before integration. Cross-reference the datasheet for precise pinout definitions and electrical specifications relevant to the final design implementation.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatility and high write endurance are critical compared to traditional flash memory. The Octal SPI interface offers higher bandwidth than standard SPI variants. Verify that the 24-BGA footprint fits the PCB layout constraints and that the 1.65 V to 2 V supply range aligns with the system power architecture.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the EMxxLX series of MRAM devices from Everspin Technologies. The series utilizes spin-transfer torque magnetic tunnel junction technology to provide fast, durable, and non-volatile data storage. These components serve as alternatives to EEPROM and Flash in applications requiring high cycle life and rapid access times.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Consult official Everspin substitution guides for compatible parts within the same family. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before replacing existing inventory.
