MR3A16ACMA35R

Memory IC Overview

The MR3A16ACMA35R is an 8 Mbit magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) device organized as 512 k x 16. It features a parallel interface with a 16-bit data bus width and a 35 ns access time. The component operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.6 V, with power consumption specified at 60 mA and 152 mA under different conditions. It is housed in a BGA-48 package and supports surface mount installation. The device functions reliably across an extended industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Non-volatile storage architecture providing unlimited read/write endurance without write delays.
• Parallel I/O interface compatible with standard SRAM timing requirements.
• Extended industrial temperature rating suitable for demanding operational environments.

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high endurance memory
• Automotive electronics operating in extreme temperatures
• Embedded systems needing fast non-volatile data retention

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' confirms the extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) compared to commercial variants. Confirm the 'M' indicates the BGA-48 package type and 'A35' denotes the 35 ns speed grade. Ensure compatibility with the 3.3V nominal supply voltage. Check RoHS compliance status via official documentation before integration.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this part when non-volatility and infinite endurance are critical, replacing volatile SRAM or traditional flash. The parallel interface simplifies design compared to serial alternatives. Consider the BGA-48 footprint constraints. Compare against MR3A16AMA35R if only commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) is required.

Memory IC Part Context

This component belongs to the MR3A16A series of parallel MRAM devices from Everspin Technologies. It shares architectural similarities with other parts in the family but differs in temperature rating and packaging. The series targets applications needing robust, high-speed non-volatile memory solutions.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

The MR3A16AMA35R serves as a direct substitute if the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) suffices for the application. Verify pinout and electrical specifications remain identical before swapping components.
