EM016LXQBDH13CS2T

Memory IC Overview

The EM016LXQBDH13CS2T is a Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) integrated circuit manufactured by Everspin Technologies. It provides a storage capacity of 16 Mbit, organized as 2 M x 8 bits. The device features a Quad SPI interface operating at frequencies up to 133 MHz. It functions within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 2 V and supports surface mount installation in an 8-DFN package.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Non-volatile memory architecture utilizing spin-transfer torque technology for data retention without power.
• Quad Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) support enabling high-speed data transfer operations.
• Low voltage operation capability compatible with 1.65 V to 2 V power domains.

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring persistent configuration storage
• Automotive electronics demanding high endurance and temperature stability
• Consumer devices needing fast boot-up times and code execution from memory

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official datasheets to ensure correct package type and temperature rating. Confirm availability status through authorized distributors as lead times may vary. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 8-DFN form factor before finalizing orders.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatility combined with SRAM-like speed is required. Consider the 16 Mbit density and Quad SPI interface for bandwidth needs. Evaluate the 8-DFN package constraints against board space limitations. Verify that the 1.65 V to 2 V voltage range aligns with the system power design.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the EMxxLX family of MRAM devices from Everspin Technologies. These devices are designed to replace traditional flash and EEPROM solutions in applications requiring high write endurance and low power consumption. The family offers various densities and interface options tailored for embedded memory needs.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same Everspin MRAM portfolio. Verify if other packages like BGA offer similar electrical characteristics. Ensure any substitute maintains the Quad SPI protocol and 133 MHz operational frequency requirements.
