Overview

The MR25H256ACDF is a 256Kbit Magnetoresistive RAM (MRAM) organized as 32,768 words by 8 bits. It utilizes a serial SPI interface and functions as a non-volatile memory that provides the performance of SRAM with the permanent storage of Flash, featuring unlimited write endurance and 20-year data retention.

Why Choose This Part

This MRAM device offers unlimited write endurance and zero write delays, eliminating the wear-out cycles and 'wait' states typical of EEPROM or Flash. Its automatic data protection on power loss and low current sleep mode make it highly efficient for battery-backed industrial systems.

Applications

Industrial Data Logging
Ideal for high-frequency logging where data is written continuously and must be preserved instantly upon power failure.
PLC Program Storage
Reliable storage for configuration and firmware in industrial controllers requiring frequent updates without wear-out concerns.
Edge Computing Buffer
Acts as a high-speed buffer for sensor data before transmission, ensuring no data loss during sudden voltage drops.
