MR25H256
INTRODUCTION
The MR25H256 is a 262,144-bit magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) device orga-
nized as 32,768 words of 8 bits. The MR25H256 oers serial EEPROM and serial
Flash compatible read/write timing with no write delays and unlimited read/write
endurance.
Unlike other serial memories, both reads and writes can occur randomly in memo-
ry with no delay between writes. The MR25H256 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 MR25H256 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 MR25H256 provides highly reliable data storage over a wide range of temperatures. The product is
oered with industrial (-40° to +85 °C) and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (-40°C to +125 °C) operating temperature
range options.

MR25H256
Overview
The MR25H256 is a serial MRAM with memory array logically organized as 32Kx8 using the four pin interface
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 com-
ponents allowing MRAM to replace these components in the same socket and interoperate on a shared SPI
bus. Serial MRAM oers superior write speed, unlimited endurance, low standby & operating power, and
more reliable data retention compared to available serial memory alternatives.

Signal Name Pin I/O Function Description
CS 1 Input Chip Select 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.
SO 2 Output Serial Output 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.
WP 3 Input Write Protect A low on the write protect input prevents write operations to the Status
Register.
VSS 4 Supply Ground Power supply ground pin.
SI 5 Input Serial Input 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.
SCK 6 Input Serial Clock 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.
HOLD 7 Input Hold 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.

Table 2.1 Command Codes
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 dene 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 MR25H256 does not require write status bits. The
state of bits 6,5,4, and 0 can be user modied and do not aect memory operation. All bits in the status
register are pre-set from the factory to the “0” state.
Bit 7 Bit 6 Bit 5 Bit 4 Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 0
SRWD Don’t Care Don’t Care Don’t Care BP1 BP0 WEL Don’t Care
Table 2.2 Status Register Bit Assignments
MR25H256 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 rst 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 specications, 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.

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 MR25H256, 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.
Figure 2.1 RDSR
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 modied. Once SRWD is set to 1, WP must be high to modify SRWD,
BP0 and BP1.

Write Status Register (WRSR)
The Write Status Register (WRSR) command allows new values to be written to the Status Register. The
WRSR command is not executed unless the Write Enable Latch (WEL) has been set to 1 by executing a
WREN command while pin WP and bit SRWD correspond to values that make the status register writable
as seen in table 2.4. Status Register bits are non-volatile with the exception of the WEL which is reset to 0
upon power cycling.
Write Enable (WREN)
The Write Enable (WREN) command sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the status register to 1. The
WEL bit must be set prior to writing in the status register or the memory. The WREN command is entered
by driving CS low, sending the command code, and then driving CS high.
Write Disable (WRDI)
The Write Disable (WRDI) command resets the WEL bit in the status register to 0. This prevents writes to
status register or memory. The WRDI command is entered by driving CS low, sending the command code,
and then driving CS high.
The WEL bit is reset to 0 on power-up or completion of WRDI.

The WRSR command is entered by driving CS low, sending the command code and status register write
data byte, and then driving CS high.
Read Data Bytes (READ)
The Read Data Bytes (READ) command allows data bytes to be read starting at an address specied by the
16-bit address. Only address bits 0-14 are decoded by the memory. The data bytes are read out sequen-
tially from memory until the read operation is terminated by bringing CS high The entire memory can be
read in a single command. The address counter will roll over to 0000h when the address reaches the top of
memory.
The READ command is entered by driving CS low and sending the command code. The memory drives the
read data bytes on the SO pin. Reads continue as long as the memory is clocked. The command is termi-
nated by bring CS high.

Write Data Bytes (WRITE)
The Write Data Bytes (WRITE) command allows data bytes to be written starting at an address specied by
the 16-bit address. Only address bits 0-14 are decoded by the memory. The data bytes are written sequen-
tially in memory until the write operation is terminated by bringing CS high. The entire memory can be
written in a single command. The address counter will roll over to 0000h when the address reaches the top
of memory.
Unlike EEPROM or Flash Memory, MRAM can write data bytes continuously at its maximum rated clock
speed without write delays or data polling. Back to back WRITE commands to any random location in mem-
ory can be executed without write delay. MRAM is a random access memory rather than a page, sector, or
block organized memory making it ideal for both program and data storage.
The WRITE command is entered by driving CS low, sending the command code, and then sequential write
data bytes. Writes continue as long as the memory is clocked. The command is terminated by bringing CS
high.

Enter Sleep Mode (SLEEP)
The Enter Sleep Mode (SLEEP) command turns o all MRAM power regulators in order to reduce the overall
chip standby power to 3 μA typical. The SLEEP command is entered by driving CS low, sending the com-
mand code, and then driving CS high. The standby current is achieved after time, tDP
. If power is removed
when the part is in sleep mode, upon power restoration, the part enters normal standby. The only valid
command following SLEEP mode entry is a WAKE command.
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.
