MR25H256 / MR25H256A
OVERVIEW
The MR25H256/MR25H256A 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 components allowing MRAM to replace these components in the same socket and interoperate
on a shared SPI bus. Serial MRAM offers superior write speed, unlimited endurance, low standby & operating
power, and more reliable data retention compared to available serial memory alternatives.

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 common set of data pins by using a unique chip select for each memory.

The data output pin is driven during a read operation and remains Hi-Z at

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.
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.
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.

MR25H256 / MR25H256A
SPI COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL
MR25H256/MR25H256A 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. Depending 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.

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 define the memory 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/MR25H256A does not require write status
bits. The state of bits 6,5,4, and 0 can be user modified and do not affect memory operation. All bits in the
status register are pre-set from the factory to the “0” state.

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.
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/MR25H256A, 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.

The Write Enable (WREN) command sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the status register to 1. The WEL

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.
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 specified by the
16-bit address. Only address bits 0-14 are decoded by the memory. The data bytes are read out sequentially
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 terminated by bring CS high.

Write Data Bytes (WRITE)
The Write Data Bytes (WRITE) command allows data bytes to be written starting at an address specified by
the 16-bit address. Only address bits 0-14 are decoded by the memory. The data bytes are written sequentially 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 memory 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 off 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 command 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.

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.

Notes:
1. 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.
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.
3. Power dissipation capability depends on package characteristics and use environment.

Power-Up Timing
The MR25H256/MR25H256A 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.
