MR10Q010CSCR

Memory IC Overview

The MR10Q010CSCR is a 1 Mbit Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) device manufactured by Everspin Technologies. It features a storage organization of 128K x 8 bits with an 8-bit data bus width. The component utilizes a Quad SPI serial interface and operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.6 V. Key electrical specifications include a 7 ns access time and operating currents of 60 mA and 100 mA. The device is housed in a 16-lead SOIC package and supports surface mount installation. It is rated for industrial temperature conditions, functioning reliably between -40°C and +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed Quad SPI communication modes including standard single I/O, fast four I/O, and quad peripheral interface (QPI) for efficient code execution.
• Provides non-volatile data retention exceeding 20 years without requiring battery backup or external capacitors.
• Features unlimited write endurance, eliminating wear-out limitations associated with traditional flash memory technologies.

Memory IC Applications

• RAID controller cache and logging buffers
• Server system critical log storage
• Industrial automation parameter memory
• Embedded systems requiring execute-in-place (XIP) capabilities

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CSCR' against official Everspin documentation to confirm it denotes the reel packaging format rather than a functional variant. Confirm moisture sensitivity levels and reflow soldering profiles prior to assembly. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 16-SOIC package. Check current availability status as production cycles may vary.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this part when non-volatility combined with infinite write endurance is required for frequent data updates. Choose over flash alternatives if low latency and high durability are critical. Verify that the 3.3V logic level and Quad SPI interface align with the host microcontroller's capabilities. Consider the SOIC-16 package constraints regarding board space and thermal management.

Memory IC Part Context

This component belongs to the MR10Q010 series of magnetoresistive random access memories. It represents a shift from volatile SRAM or limited-endurance flash solutions toward persistent memory architectures. The technology leverages magnetic tunnel junctions to store data, offering speed comparable to SRAM with the persistence of flash memory.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

The MR10Q010CSC is a tray-packaged alternative within the same series. Other variants like MR10Q010CMBR offer different physical packages such as BGA-24. Substitution requires verifying pinout compatibility and ensuring the replacement matches the required operating temperature range and interface protocol.
