M10162040108X0PWAY

Memory IC Overview

The M10162040108X0PWAY is a 16Mbit high-performance non-volatile MRAM IC from Renesas Electronics. It utilizes pMTJ STT-MRAM technology and supports Quad SPI interfaces with SDR and DDR modes, achieving speeds up to 108MHz. The device operates at a supply voltage of 1.71V to 2V and features an industrial plus temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. It is housed in an 8-DFN (5x6) package with exposed pads.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Utilizes advanced pMTJ STT-MRAM technology for superior reliability and data retention exceeding 20 years at 85°C without backup batteries.
• Supports high-speed Quad SPI interface with SDR and DDR modes operating up to 108MHz.
• Includes independent 256-byte user-programmable and lockable NVM for secure configuration storage.

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust non-volatile memory
• Automotive electronics demanding extended temperature operation
• IoT devices needing low-power persistent storage

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'WAY' against official Renesas documentation to confirm the exact package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm current lifecycle status as sources indicate potential end-of-life or obsolescence warnings. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 8-DFN form factor before procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed access and extreme durability are required over traditional flash or battery-backed SRAM. Consider the 1.8V typical supply voltage and industrial plus temperature rating (-40°C to +105°C) for harsh environments. Evaluate the trade-off between the 16Mb capacity and the 108MHz speed for your system's bandwidth needs.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the M1016204 series of MRAM devices. It serves as a drop-in replacement for battery-backed SRAM in applications where data retention is critical. The series offers a balance of high performance and non-volatility, targeting industries such as automotive and industrial automation where reliability under stress is paramount.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Check for alternative suffixes like 'WAR' which may offer different packaging options within the same electrical specification family. Verify pinout compatibility if substituting with other MRAM or FRAM devices from different manufacturers.
