EM016LXQADG13CS1T

Memory IC Overview

The EM016LXQADG13CS1T is a 16 Mbit Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) device manufactured by Everspin Technologies. It features a Quad SPI interface and operates at frequencies up to 133 MHz. The memory is organized as 2 M x 8 bits. Electrical specifications include a minimum supply voltage of 1.65 V and a maximum of 2 V. Operating currents are specified at 124 mA and 156 mA. The component is housed in an 8-DFN package and supports surface mount installation.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Utilizes spin-transfer torque MRAM technology for non-volatile data retention without write delays.
• Supports high-speed Quad SPI communication with standard read/write timing compatible with serial flash.

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust non-volatile storage
• Automotive electronics applications
• Consumer devices needing high endurance memory

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official datasheets to ensure correct temperature range and packaging configuration. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors, as stock levels fluctuate. Ensure compatibility with system voltage rails within the 1.65 V to 2 V operating window before integration.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when high endurance and fast write speeds are required compared to traditional flash. Consider the 8-DFN package size for space-constrained designs. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the target application.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the EMxxLX series of Quad SPI MRAM devices from Everspin Technologies. These devices are designed to offer performance comparable to SRAM with the non-volatility of EEPROM or Flash. The series emphasizes low power consumption and high reliability for embedded memory applications.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same EMxxLX family, such as different temperature grades or package variants. Verify electrical parameters match exactly if substituting with other MRAM brands.
