EM008LXQBB313ES2T

Memory IC Overview

The EM008LXQBB313ES2T is an 8 Mbit Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) integrated circuit manufactured by Everspin Technologies. It features a Quad SPI interface and operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 2 V. The device is organized as 1 M x 8 bits and supports clock frequencies up to 133 MHz. It is housed in a 24-pin BGA package designed for surface mount technology. The component is rated for industrial operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C, ensuring reliability in demanding environments.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Non-volatile data retention capability inherent to MRAM technology
• Quad Serial Peripheral Interface for high-speed data transfer
• Industrial temperature range operation for robust performance
• Surface mount BGA packaging for compact integration

Memory IC Applications

• Data logging systems requiring frequent write cycles
• Embedded memory for microcontrollers needing non-volatile storage
• Industrial control units with harsh environmental exposure
• IoT devices requiring low power consumption and fast boot times

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with required voltage levels and temperature grades. Confirm package dimensions and pinout assignments prior to PCB layout finalization. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if regulatory adherence is mandatory for the target market. Ensure that the Quad SPI interface signals are correctly mapped to the host controller.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatility and endurance are critical, as MRAM offers unlimited write cycles compared to flash. Consider the 133 MHz interface speed for applications requiring rapid data access. Evaluate the 1.65 V to 2 V supply requirement against the system's power rails. The industrial temperature rating makes it suitable for environments where standard commercial grade parts would fail.

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, reliable, and durable memory solutions. The Quad SPI variant offers enhanced throughput over standard SPI interfaces while maintaining pin compatibility with traditional serial memories.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 8 Mbit capacity, Quad SPI interface, and 24-BGA package. Verify that substitute parts support the same 1.65 V to 2 V operating voltage and -40°C to +105°C temperature range. Cross-reference pinouts to ensure electrical compatibility without hardware modifications.
