INTRODUCTION
The MR25H10 is a 1,048,576-bit magnetoresistive random access memory
(MRAM) device organized as 131,072 words of 8 bits. The MR25H10 offers serial
EEPROM and serial Flash compatible read/write timing with no write delays and
unlimited read/write endurance.
RoHS
Unlike other serial memories, both reads and writes can occur randomly in memory with no delay between
writes. The MR25H10 is the ideal memory solution for applications that must store and retrieve data and
programs quickly using a small number of I/O pins.
The MR25H10 is available in either a 5 mm x 6 mm 8-pin DFN package or a 5 mm x 6 mm 8-pin DFN Small
Flag package. Both are compatible with serial EEPROM, Flash, and FeRAM products.
The MR25H10 provides highly reliable data storage over a wide range of temperatures. The product is
offered with Industrial (-40° to +85 °C) and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (-40°C to +125 °C) operating temperature
range options.

1. DEVICE PIN ASSIGNMENT
Overview
The MR25H10 is a serial MRAM with memory array logically organized as 128Kx8 using the four pin in-
terface of chip select (CS), serial input (SI), serial output (SO) and serial clock (SCK) of the serial peripheral
interface (SPI) bus. Serial MRAM implements a subset of commands common to today’s SPI EEPROM and
Flash components allowing MRAM to replace these components in the same socket and interoperate on
a shared SPI bus. Serial MRAM offers superior write speed, unlimited endurance, low standby & operating
power, and more reliable data retention compared to available serial memory alternatives.

Chip Select
Description
An active low chip select for the serial MRAM. When chip select is high, the
memory is powered down to minimize standby power, inputs are ignored
and the serial output pin is Hi-Z. Multiple serial memories can share a com-
mon set of data pins by using a unique chip select for each memory.
The data output pin is driven during a read operation and remains Hi-Z at
all other times. SO is Hi-Z when HOLD is low. Data transitions on the data
output occur on the falling edge of SCK.
A low on the write protect input prevents write operations to the Status
Register.
Power supply ground pin.
All data is input to the device through this pin. This pin is sampled on the
rising edge of SCK and ignored at other times. SI can be tied to SO to create
a single bidirectional data bus if desired.
Synchronizes the operation of the MRAM. The clock can operate up to 40
MHz to shift commands, address, and data into the memory. Inputs are
captured on the rising edge of clock. Data outputs from the MRAM occur
on the falling edge of clock. The serial MRAM supports both SPI Mode 0
(CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1). In Mode 0, the clock is
normally low. In Mode 3, the clock is normally high. Memory operation is
static so the clock can be stopped at any time.
A low on the Hold pin interrupts a memory operation for another task.
When HOLD is low, the current operation is suspended. The device will
ignore transitions on the CS and SCK when HOLD is low. All transitions of
HOLD must occur while CS is low.
Power supply voltage from +2.7 to +3.6 volts.

2. SPI COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL
MR25H10 can be operated in either SPI Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA =0) or SPI Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1). For
both modes, inputs are captured on the rising edge of the clock and data outputs occur on the falling
edge of the clock. When not conveying data, SCK remains low for Mode 0; while in Mode 3, SCK is high. The
memory determines the mode of operation (Mode 0 or Mode 3) based upon the state of the SCK when CS
falls.
All memory transactions start when CS is brought low to the memory. The first byte is a command code. De-
pending upon the command, subsequent bytes of address are input. Data is either input or output. There
is only one command performed per CS active period. CS must go inactive before another command can
be accepted. To ensure proper part operation according to specifications, it is necessary to terminate each
access by raising CS at the end of a byte (a multiple of 8 clock cycles from CS dropping) to avoid partial or
aborted accesses.

Status Register and Block Write Protection
The status register consists of the 8 bits listed in table 2.2. Status register bits BP0 and BP1 define the mem-
ory block arrays that are protected as described in table 2.3. The Status Register Write Disable bit (SRWD)
is used in conjunction with bit 1 (WEL) and the Write Protection pin (WP) as shown in table 2.4 to enable
writes to status register bits. The fast writing speed of MR25H10 does not require write status bits. The
state of bits 6,5,4, and 0 can be user modified and do not affect memory operation. All bits in the status
register are pre-set from the factory to the “0” state.

When WEL is reset to 0, writes to all blocks and the status register are protected. When WEL is set to 1,
BP0 and BP1 determine which memory blocks are protected. While SRWD is reset to 0 and WEL is set to 1,
status register bits BP0 and BP1 can be modified. Once SRWD is set to 1, WP must be high to modify SRWD,
BP0 and BP1.
Read Status Register (RDSR)
The Read Status Register (RDSR) command allows the Status Register to be read. The Status Register can
be read at any time to check the status of write enable latch bit, status register write protect bit, and block
write protect bits. For MR25H10, the write in progress bit (bit 0) is not written by the memory because
there is no write delay. The RDSR command is entered by driving CS low, sending the command code, and
then driving CS high.
