EM016LXOBB320IS2R

Memory IC Overview

The EM016LXOBB320IS2R is a 16 Mbit Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) integrated circuit manufactured by Everspin Technologies. It features an Octal SPI interface operating at clock frequencies up to 200 MHz. The device provides a storage organization of 2 Megawords by 8 bits and is housed in a 24-ball BGA package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 2 V and supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +105°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Non-volatile memory technology retaining data without power
• High-speed Octal Serial Peripheral Interface for rapid data transfer
• Industrial-grade operational temperature capability

Memory IC Applications

• Embedded systems requiring persistent configuration storage
• Industrial control units needing high endurance memory
• Automotive electronics demanding reliable non-volatile data retention

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix IS2R against official Everspin documentation to confirm exact packaging, temperature grade, and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with the host system's voltage levels and SPI protocol requirements before procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when high write endurance and fast random access speeds are required compared to traditional flash memory. The Octal SPI interface offers higher bandwidth than standard Quad SPI variants. Consider the 24-BGA footprint and 1.65V to 2V supply constraints during PCB layout and power design phases.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the Everspin MRAM family, designed to replace volatile SRAM and non-volatile Flash in applications requiring high speed and unlimited write cycles. It utilizes spin-transfer torque magnetic tunnel junction technology for data storage.
