EM064LXOAB320ES2R

Memory IC Overview

The EM064LXOAB320ES2R is a 64 Mbit Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) device manufactured by Everspin Technologies. It features an Octal SPI interface and operates at frequencies up to 200 MHz. The memory is organized as 8 Meg words by 8 bits. It functions within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 2 V. The component is housed in a 24-ball BGA package designed for surface mount technology. Industrial temperature ratings support operation from -40°C to +105°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Utilizes spin-transfer torque MRAM technology for non-volatile data retention without write delays.
• Supports high-speed data transfer via an Octal Serial Peripheral Interface compatible with standard protocols.
• Designed for robust performance across industrial temperature ranges with low power consumption profiles.

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial automation control systems requiring persistent configuration storage
• Automotive embedded systems needing reliable data logging
• Consumer electronics with frequent firmware update requirements

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ES2R' against official Everspin documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade alignment. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 24-BGA form factor. Cross-reference electrical specifications with system power rails to validate the 1.65V to 2V operating window. Confirm availability status through authorized distributors as supply constraints may exist.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatility, high endurance, and fast write speeds are critical compared to traditional flash memory. The Octal SPI interface offers higher bandwidth than standard Quad SPI variants. Consider the 24-BGA package size constraints during mechanical design. Verify that the industrial temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the target application environment.
