Description
The Mavriq RM25C64C-L is a 64 Kbit serial memory device that utilizes Adesto's
CBRAM® resistive technology. The memory devices use a single low-voltage supply
ranging from 1.65V to 3.6V.
The Mavriq RM25C-Series family is accessed through a 4-wire SPI interface
consisting of a Serial Data Input (SDI), Serial Data Output (SDO), Serial Clock (SCK),
and Chip Select (CS). The maximum clock (SCK) frequency in normal read mode is
1.6MHz. In fast read mode the maximum clock frequency is 10MHz. Writing into the
device can be done from 1 to 32 bytes at a time. All writing is internally self-timed. The
device also features an Erase which can be performed on 32-byte pages or on the
whole chip.

The device has both Byte Write and Page Write capability. Page Write is 32 bytes. The Byte Write operation of Mavriq
memory consumes only 10% of the energy consumed by a Byte Write operation of EEPROM devices of similar size.
The Page Write operation of Mavriq memory is 4-6 times faster than the Page Write operation of similar EEPROM
devices. Both random and sequential reads are available. Sequential reads are capable of reading the entire memory in
one operation.

Figure 6-1. Connection Diagram, SPI Master and SPI Slaves
The Adesto RM25C family supports two SPI modes: Mode 0 (0, 0) and Mode 3 (1, 1). The difference between these two
modes is the clock polarity when the SPI master is in standby mode (CS high). In Mode 0, the Serial Clock (SCK) stays
at 0 during standby. In Mode 3, the SCK stays at 1 during standby. An example sequence for the two SPI modes is
shown in Figure 6-2. For both modes, input data (on SDI) is latched in on the rising edge of Serial Clock (SCK), and
output data (SDO) is available beginning with the falling edge of Serial Clock (SCK).

7. Registers
7.1 Instruction Register
The Adesto RM25C family uses a single 8-bit instruction register. The instructions and their operation codes are listed in
Table 7-1. All instructions, addresses, and data are transferred with the MSB first, and begin transferring with the first
low-to-high SCK transition after the CS pin goes low.
Table 7-1. Device Operating Instructions
7.2 Status Register
The Adesto RM25C family uses a single 8-bit Status Register. The Write In Progress (WIP) and Write Enable (WEL)
status of the device can be determined by reading this register.
The Status Register format is shown in Table 7-2 The Status Register bit definitions are shown in Table 7-3.

8. Write Protection
The Adesto RM25CxxC family has two protection modes: hardware write protection, via the WP pin associated with the
SRWD bit in the Status Register, and software write protection in the form of the SRWD, WEL, BP0, and BP1 bits in the
Status Register.
8.1 Hardware Write Protection
There are three hardware write protection features:
All write instructions must have the appropriate number of clock cycles before CS goes high or the write instruction
will be ignored.
If the VCC is below the VCC Inhibit Voltage (VVccI, see DC Characteristics), all Read, Write, and Erase sequence
instructions will be ignored.
The WP pin provides write protection for the Status Register. When WP is low, the Status Register is write
protected if the SRWD bit in the Status Register is High. When WP is high, the Status Register is writable independent of
the SRWD bit. See Table 8-1.

DS-RM25C64C-L-097A–3/2016
Table 8-1. Hardware Write Protection on Status Register
8.2 Software Write Protection
There are two software write protection features:
Before any program, erase, or write status register instruction, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status
Register must be set to a one by execution of the Write Enable (WREN) instruction. If the WEL bit is not enabled, all
program, erase, or write register instructions will be ignored.
The Block Protection bits (BP0 and BP1) allow a part or the whole memory area to be write protected.
See Table 8-2.
Table 8-2. Block Write Protect Bits
8.3 Reducing Energy Consumption
In normal operation, when the device is idle, (CS is high, no Write or Erase operation in progress), the device is in
Standby Mode, waiting for the next command. To reduce device energy consumption, the Power Down or Ultra-Deep
Power Down modes may be used.
8.3.1 Power Down mode
Power Down mode allows the user to reduce the power of the device to its lowest power consumption state. The PD
command is used to instruct the device to enter Power Down mode.
All instructions given during the Power Down mode are ignored except the Resume From Power Down (RES) instruction.
Therefore this mode can be used as an additional software write protection feature.

DS-RM25C64C-L–097A–3/2016
8.3.2 Ultra-Deep Power Down mode
The Ultra-Deep Power Down mode allows the device to further reduce its energy consumption compared to the existing
Standby and Power Down modes by shutting down additional internal circuitry. The UDPD command is used to instruct
the device to enter Ultra-Deep Power Down mode.
When the device is in the Ultra-Deep Power Down mode, all commands including the Read Status Register and Resume
From Power Down commands will be ignored. Since all commands will be ignored, the mode can be used as an extra
protection mechanism against inadvertent or unintentional program and erase operations.
Only the Exit Ultra-Deep Power Down signal sequences described in section 8-13 will bring the device out of the Ultra-
Deep Power Down mode.
8.3.3 Auto Power Down Enable.
For frequencies lower than fAPD (see AC Operating Characteristics), the APDE bit in the Status Register may be enabled.
The device will then automatically enter Power Down mode instead of Standby mode when idle. (CS is high, no Write or
Erase operation in progress).
In this mode, the device will behave normally to all commands, and will leave Power Down mode once CS is pulled down.
If Auto Power Down is enabled, and the SCK Clock Frequency is increased to a speed higher than fAPD, the device may
not react as expected to the command. Before changing SCK frequency, the APDE bit in the Status Register must be
disabled.
Note that the PD or UDPD commands may still be used as additional software write protection features when Auto Power
Down is enabled. Note that if the PD command is issued while Auto Power Down is enabled, the device will enter Power
Down mode, and all instructions given will be ignored except the Resume From Power Down (RES) instruction. The
device will not wake up immediately after CS is pulled down.
8.3.4 Low Power Standby Enable.
For frequencies lower than fAPD (see AC Operating Characteristics), the LPSE bit in the Status Register may be enabled.
The device will then automatically enter Low Power Standby mode when idle. (CS is high, no Write or Erase operation in
progress).
In this mode, the device will behave normally to all commands, and will leave Low Power Standby mode once CS is
pulled down.
If Low Power Standby Mode is enabled, and the SCK Clock Frequency is increased to a speed higher than fAPD, the
device may not react as expected to the command. Before changing SCK frequency, the LPSE bit in the Status Register
must be disabled.
Note that the PD or UDPD commands may still be used as additional software write protection features when Low Power
Standby Mode is enabled. Note that if the PD command is issued while Low Power Standby Mode is enabled, the device
will enter Power Down mode, and all instructions given will be ignored except the Resume From Power Down (RES)
instruction. The device will not wake up immediately after CS is pulled down.
9. Command Descriptions
9.1 WREN (Write Enable):
The device powers up with the Write Enable Latch set to zero. This means that no write or erase instructions can be
executed until the Write Enable Latch is set using the Write Enable (WREN) instruction. The Write Enable Latch is also
set to zero automatically after any non-read instruction. Therefore, all page programming instructions and erase
instructions must be preceded by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction. The sequence for the Write Enable instruction is
shown in Figure 9-1.
14
RM25C64C-L
DS-RM25C64C-L-097A–3/2016
Figure 9-1. WREN Sequence (06h)
Table 9-1 is a list of actions that will automatically set the Write Enable Latch to zero when successfully executed. If an
instruction is not successfully executed, for example if the CS pin is brought high before an integer multiple of 8 bits is
clocked, the Write Enable Latch will not be reset.
Table 9-1. Write Enable Latch to Zero
9.2 WRDI (Write Disable):
To protect the device against inadvertent writes, the Write Disable instruction disables all write modes. Since the Write
Enable Latch is automatically reset after each successful write instruction, it is not necessary to issue a WRDI instruction
following a write instruction. The WRDI instruction is independent of the status of the WP pin. The WRDI sequence is
shown in Figure 9-2.
Figure 9-2. WRDI Sequenc e (0 4h )

The Read Status Register instruction provides access to the Status Register and indication of write protection status of
the memory.

Caution: The Write In Progress (WIP) and Write Enable Latch (WEL) indicate the status of the device. The RDSR sequence is
shown in Figure 9-3.
Figure 9-3. RDSR Sequenc e (0 5h )
9.4 WRSR (Write Status Register):
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction allows the user to select one of three levels of protection. The memory
array can be block protected (see Table 8-2) or have no protection at all. The SRWD bit (in conjunction with the WP pin)
sets the write status of the Status Register (see Table 8-1).
Only the BP0, BP1, APDE, LPSE and SRWD bits are writable and are nonvolatile cells. When the WP pin is low, and the
SRWD bit in the Status Register is a one, a zero cannot be written to SRWD to allow the part to be writable. To set the
SRWD bit to zero, the WP pin must be high. The WRSR sequence is shown in Figure 9-4.
Figure 9-4. WRSR Sequence (01h)
9.5 READ (Read Data):
Reading the Adesto RM25C family via the Serial Data Output (SDO) pin requires the following sequence: First the CS
line is pulled low to select the device; then the READ op-code is transmitted via the SDI line, followed by the address to
be read (A15-A0). Although not all 16 address bits are used, a full 2 bytes of address must be transmitted to the device.
For the 64 Kb device, only address A0 to A12 are used; the rest are don't cares and must be set to “0”.
Once the read instruction and address have been sent, any further data on the SDI line will be ignored. The data (D7-D0)
at the specified address is then shifted out onto the SDO line. If only one byte is to be read, the CS line should be driven
high after the byte of data comes out. This completes the reading of one byte of data.
The READ sequence can be automatically continued by keeping the CS low. At the end of the first data byte the byte
address is internally incremented and the next higher address data byte will be shifted out. When the highest address is
reached, the address counter will roll over to the lowest address (00000), thus allowing the entire memory to be read in
one continuous read cycle. The READ sequence is shown in Figure 9-5.

9.6 FREAD (Fast Read Data):
The Adesto RM25C family also includes the Fast Read Data command, which facilitates reading memory data at higher
clock rates, up to 10 MHz. After the CS line is pulled low to select the device, the FREAD op-code is transmitted via the
SDI line. This is followed by the 2-byte address to be read (A15-A0) and then a 1-byte dummy. For the 64 Kbit device,
only address A0 to A12 are used; the rest are don't cares and must be set to "0".
The next 8 bits transmitted on the SDI are dummy bits. The data (D7-D0) at the specified address is then shifted out onto
the SDO line. If only one byte is to be read, the CS line should be driven high after the data comes out. This completes
the reading of one byte of data.
The FREAD sequence can be automatically continued by keeping the CS low. At the end of the first data byte, the byte
address is internally incremented and the next higher address data byte is then shifted out. When the highest address is
reached, the address counter rolls over to the lowest address (00000), allowing the entire memory to be read in one
continuous read cycle. The FREAD sequence is shown in Figure 9-6.

9.7 WRITE (WR):
The Write (WR) instruction allows bytes to be written to the memory. But first, the device must be write-enabled via the
WREN instruction. The CS pin must be brought high after completion of the WREN instruction; then the CS pin can be
brought back low to start the WR instruction. The CS pin going high at the end of the WR input sequence initiates the
internal write cycle. During the internal write cycle, all commands except the RDSR instruction are ignored.
A WR instruction requires the following sequence: After the CS line is pulled low to select the device, the WR op-code is
transmitted via the SDI line, followed by the byte address (A15-A0) and the data (D7-D0) to be written. For the 64 Kb
device, only address A0 to A12 are used; the rest are don't cares and must be set to “0”. The internal write cycle
sequence will start after the CS pin is brought high. The low-to-high transition of the CS pin must occur during the SCK
low-time immediately after clocking in the D0 (LSB) data bit.
The Write In Progress status of the device can be determined by initiating a Read Status Register (RDSR) instruction
and monitoring the WIP bit. If the WIP bit (Bit 0) is a “1”, the write cycle is still in progress. If the WIP bit is “0”, the write
cycle has ended. Only the RDSR instruction is enabled during the write cycle. The sequence of a one-byte WR is shown
in Figure 9-7.
Figure 9-7. One Byte Write Sequence (0Bh)
The Adesto RM25C family is capable of a 32-byte write operation.
For the RM25C64C-L: After each byte of data is received, the six low-order address bits (A5-A0) are internally
incremented by one; the high-order bits of the address will remain constant. All transmitted data that goes beyond the
end of the current page are written from the start address of the same page (from the address whose 6 least significant
bits [A5-A0] are all zero). If more than 32 bytes are sent to the device, previously latched data are discarded and the last
32 data bytes are ensured to be written correctly within the same page. If less than 32 data bytes are sent to the device,
they are correctly written at the requested addresses without having any effects on the other bytes of the same page.
The Adesto RM25C64C-L is automatically returned to the write disable state at the completion of a program cycle. The
sequence for a 32byte WR is shown in Figure 9-8. Note that the Multi-Byte Write operation is internally executed by
sequentially writing the words in the Page Buffer.
NOTE: If the device is not write enabled (WREN) previous to the Write instruction, the device will ignore the write instruction and
return to the standby state when CS is brought high. A new CS falling edge is required to re initiate the serial communication.

9.8 PER (Page Erase 32 bytes):
Page Erase sets all bits inside the addressed 32-byte page to a 1. A Write Enable (WREN) instruction is required prior to
a Page Erase. After the WREN instruction is shifted in, the CS pin must be brought high to set the Write Enable Latch.
The Page Erase sequence is initiated by bringing the CS pin low; this is followed by the instruction code, then 2 address
bytes. Any address inside the page to be erased is valid. This means the bottom six bits (A5-A0) of the address are
ignored. Once the address is shifted in, the CS pin is brought high, which initiates the self-timed Page Erase function.
The WIP bit in the Status Register can be read, using the RDSR instruction, to determine when the Page Erase cycle is
complete.
The sequence for the PER is shown in Figure 9-9.

9.9 CERS (Chip Erase):
Chip Erase sets all bits inside the device to a 1. A Write Enable (WREN) instruction is required prior to a Chip Erase.
After the WREN instruction is shifted in, the CS pin must be brought high to set the Write Enable Latch.
The Chip Erase sequence is initiated by bringing the CS pin low; this is followed by the instruction code. There are two
different instruction codes for CER, 60h and C7h. Either instruction code will initiate the Chip Erase sequence. No

address bytes are needed. Once the instruction code is shifted in, the CS pin is brought high, which initiates the self-
timed Chip Erase function. The WIP bit in the Status Register can be read, using the RDSR instruction, to determine
when the Chip Erase cycle is complete.
The sequence for the 60h CER instruction is shown in Figure 9-10. The sequence for the C7h CER instruction is shown

9.10 PD (Power Down):
Power Down mode allows the user to reduce the power of the device to its lowest power consumption state.
All instructions given during the Power Down mode are ignored except the Resume from Power down (RES) instruction.
Therefore this mode can be used as an additional software write protection feature.
The Power Down sequence is initiated by bringing the CS pin low; this is followed by the instruction code. Once the
instruction code is shifted in the CS pin is brought high, which initiates the PD mode. The sequence for PD is shown in
Figure 9-12.

9.11 RES (Resume from Power Down):
The Resume from Power Down mode is the only command that will wake the device up from the Power Down mode. All
other commands are ignored.
In the simple instruction command, after the CS pin is brought low, the RES instruction is shifted in. At the end of the
instruction, the CS pin is brought back high.
The rising edge of the SCK clock number 7 (8th rising edge) initiates the internal RES instruction. The device becomes
available for Read and Write instructions 75μS after the 8th rising edge of the SCK (tPUD, see AC Characteristics). The
sequence for simple RES instruction is shown in Figure 9-13.
Figure 9-13. Simple RES Sequence (ABh)
9.12 UDPD (Ultra-Deep Power Down):
The Ultra-Deep Power Down mode allows the device to further reduce its energy consumption compared to the existing
Standby and Power Down modes by shutting down additional internal circuitry. When the device is in the Ultra-Deep
Power Down mode, all commands including the Read Status Register and Resume from Deep Power Down commands
will be ignored. Since all commands will be ignored, the mode can be used as an extra protection mechanism against
inadvertent or unintentional program and erase operations. Entering the Ultra-Deep Power Down mode is accomplished
by simply asserting the CS pin, clocking in the opcode 79h, and then deasserting the CS pin. Any additional data clocked
into the device after the opcode will be ignored. When the CS pin is deasserted, the device will enter the Ultra-Deep
Power Down mode within the maximum time of tEUDPD.
The complete opcode must be clocked in before the CS pin is deasserted; otherwise, the device will abort the operation
and return to the standby mode once the CS pin is deasserted. In addition, the device will default to the standby mode
after a power cycle. The Ultra-Deep Power Down command will be ignored if an internally self-timed operation such as a
program or erase cycle is in progress. The sequence for UDPD is shown in Figure 9-14.

9.13 Exit Ultra-Deep Power Down
To exit from the Ultra-Deep Power Down mode, any one of three operations can be performed:
9.13.1 Chip Select Toggle
The CS pin must simply be pulsed by asserting the CS pin, waiting the minimum necessary tCSLU time, and then
deasserting the CS pin again. To facilitate simple software development, a dummy byte opcode can also be entered
while the CS pin is being pulsed; the dummy byte opcode is simply ignored by the device in this case. After the CS pin
has been deasserted, the device will exit from the Ultra-Deep Power Down mode and return to the standby mode within
a maximum time of tXUDPD If the CS pin is reasserted before the tXUDPD time has elapsed in an attempt to start a new
operation, then that operation will be ignored and nothing will be performed.
Figure 9-15. Exit Ultra-Deep Pow er Down (Chip Select Togg le)
9.13.2 Chip Select Low
By asserting the CS pin, waiting the minimum necessary tXUDPD time, and then clocking in the first bit of the next Opcode
command cycle. If the first bit of the next command is clocked in before the tXUDPD time has elapsed, the device will exit
Ultra Deep Power Down, however the intended operation will be ignored.
