EM016LXOBB320CS2R

Memory IC Overview

The EM016LXOBB320CS2R is a magnetoresistive random-access memory (MRAM) integrated circuit manufactured by Everspin Technologies. It features a 16 Mbit storage capacity organized as 2 Megawords by 8 bits. The device utilizes an Octal SPI interface and operates at clock frequencies up to 200 MHz. It is housed in a 24-ball BGA package designed for surface mount technology. The component supports a supply voltage range from 1.65 V to 2 V and functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Non-volatile data retention without requiring power
• High-speed serial peripheral interface communication
• Industrial-grade thermal stability

Memory IC Applications

• Embedded systems requiring persistent configuration storage
• Industrial control units needing reliable data logging
• Automotive electronics demanding high-temperature endurance

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CS2R against official manufacturer documentation to confirm package type, temperature grade, and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with system voltage rails and SPI protocol requirements before integration. Cross-reference part numbers with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatility and high write endurance are critical compared to flash memory. Consider the 200 MHz Octal SPI speed for bandwidth-intensive applications. Evaluate the 24-BGA footprint constraints and ensure the design supports the specified 1.65 V to 2 V operating voltage range.

Memory IC Part Context

This MRAM belongs to Everspin's embedded memory portfolio, offering alternatives to traditional volatile RAM and non-volatile flash. It bridges the gap between speed and persistence, suitable for applications where frequent writes occur. The Octal SPI variant provides enhanced throughput over standard SPI interfaces.
