INTRODUCTION
The MR4A16B is a 16,777,216-bit magnetoresistive random access memory
(MRAM) device organized as 1,048,576 words of 16 bits. The MR4A16B offers
SRAM compatible 35 ns read/write timing with unlimited endurance. Data
is always non-volatile for greater than 20 years. Data is automatically pro-
tected on power loss by low-voltage inhibit circuitry to prevent writes with voltage out of specification. To
simplify fault tolerant design, the MR4A16B includes internal single bit error correction code with 7 ECC
parity bits for every 64 data bits. The MR4A16B is the ideal memory solution for applications that must
permanently store and retrieve critical data and programs quickly.
RoHS
The
MR4A16B
is available in a small footprint 48-pin ball grid array (BGA) package and a 54-pin thin small
outline package (TSOP Type 2). These packages are compatible with similar low-power SRAM products and
other nonvolatile RAM products.
The
MR4A16B
provides highly reliable data storage over a wide range of temperatures. The product is
offered with commercial temperature (0 to +70 °C), and industrial temperature (-40 to +85 °C) operating
temperature options.

2. ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Absolute Maximum Ratings
This device contains circuitry to protect the inputs against damage caused by high static voltages or
electric fields; however, it is advised that normal precautions be taken to avoid application of any
voltage greater than maximum rated voltages to these high-impedance (Hi-Z) circuits.
The device also contains protection against external magnetic fields. Precautions should be taken
to avoid application of any magnetic field greater than the maximum field intensity specified
in the maximum ratings.

Permanent device damage may occur if absolute maximum ratings are exceeded. Functional operation
should be restricted to recommended operating conditions. Exposure to excessive voltages or magnetic
fields could affect device reliability.
All voltages are referenced to V
SS
. The DC value of V
IN
must not exceed actual applied V
DD
by more than
0.5V. The AC value of V
IN
must not exceed applied V
DD
by more than 2V for 10ns with I
IN
limited to less than
20mA.
Power dissipation capability depends on package characteristics and use environment.

Power Up and Power Down Sequencing
The MRAM is protected from write operations whenever V
DD
is less than V
WI
. As soon as V
DD
exceeds V
DD
(min),
there is a startup time of 2 ms before read or write operations can start. This time allows memory power
supplies to stabilize.
The E and W control signals should track V
DD
on power up to V
DD
- 0.2 V or V
IH
(whichever is lower) and remain
high for the startup time. In most systems, this means that these signals should be pulled up with a resis-
tor so that a signal remains high if the driving signal is Hi-Z during power up. Any logic that drives E and W
should hold the signals high with a power-on reset signal for longer than the startup time.
During power loss or brownout where V
DD
goes below V
WI
, writes are protected and a startup time must be
observed when power returns above V
DD
(min).
