INTRODUCTION
The MR25H128A is a 128Kbit magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) device orga-
nized as 16,384 words of 8 bits. The MR25H128A 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 memo-
ry with no delay between writes. The MR25H128A 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 MR25H128A is available in a 5 mm x 6 mm 8-pin DFN Small Flag package compatible with serial EE-
PROM, Flash, and FeRAM products.
The MR25H128A 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) and AEC-Q100 Grade 3
(-40° to +85 °C) operating temperature range options.

System Configuration
Single or multiple devices can be connected to the bus as shown in Figure 1.2. Pins SCK, SO and SI are com-
mon among devices. Each device requires CS and HOLD pins to be driven separately.

MR25H128A 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.

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.

The WRSR command is entered by driving CS low, sending the command code and status register write
data byte, and then driving CS high.

Exit Sleep Mode (WAKE)
The Exit Sleep Mode (WAKE) command turns on internal MRAM power regulators to allow normal operation.
The WAKE command is entered by driving CS low, sending the command code, and then driving CS high.
The memory returns to standby mode after tRDP. The CS pin must remain high until the tRDP period is over.

3. 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 more intense than the field intensity specified in the maximum ratings.
1
Permanent device damage may occur if absolute maximum ratings are exceeded. Functional opera-
tion should be restricted to recommended operating conditions. Exposure to excessive voltages or
magnetic fields could affect device reliability.
2
All voltages are referenced to VSS. The DC value of VIN must not exceed actual applied VDD by more
than 0.5V. The AC value of VIN must not exceed applied VDD by more than 2V for 10ns with IIN limited
to less than 20mA.
Power dissipation capability depends on package characteristics and use environment.

The MR25H128A is not accessible for a start-up time, tPU= 400 μs after power up. Users must wait this time
from the time when VDD (min) is reached until the first CS low to allow internal voltage references to become
stable. The CS signal should be pulled up to VDD so that the signal tracks the power supply during power-up
sequence.
