INTRODUCTION
The MR2A08A is a 4,194,304-bit magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) device organized as
524,288 words of 8 bits. The MR2A08A offers SRAM compatible 35ns read/write timing with unlimited
endurance. Data is always non-volatile for greater than 20 years. Data is automatically protected on power
loss by low-voltage inhibit circuitry to prevent writes with voltage out of specification.
The MR2A08A is the ideal memory solution for applications that must permanently store and retrieve critical data and programs quickly.
The MR2A08A is available in a small footprint 400-mil, 44-lead plastic small-outline TSOP type 2 package
or an 8 mm x 8 mm, 48-pin ball grid array (BGA) package with 0.75 mm ball centers. These packages are
compatible with similar low-power SRAM products and other non-volatile RAM products.
The MR2A08A provides highly reliable data storage over a wide range of temperatures. The product is offered with commercial temperature range (0 to +70 °C), industrial temperature range (-40 to +85 °C), and
AEC-Q100 Grade 1 temperature range (-40 to +125 °C) options.

2. 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 maximum 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.
3.
Power dissipation capability depends on package characteristics and use environment.

There is a 2 ms startup time once VDD exceeds VDD,(min). See Power Up and Power Down Sequencing below.

Power Up and Power Down Sequencing
The MRAM is protected from write operations whenever VDD is less than VWI. As soon as VDD exceeds VDD(min), there is a
startup time of 2 ms before read or write operations can start. This time allows memory power supplies to stabilize.
The E and W control signals should track VDD on power up to VDD- 0.2 V or VIH (whichever is lower) and remain high
for the startup time. In most systems, this means that these signals should be pulled up with a resistor so that signal
remains high if the driving signal is Hi-Z during power up. Any logic that drives E and W should hold the signals high
with a power-on reset signal for longer than the startup time.
During power loss or brownout where VDD goes below VWI, writes are protected and a startup time must be observed
when power returns above VDD(min).

All write occurs during the overlap of E low and W low. Power supplies must be properly grounded and decoupled and bus
contention conditions must be minimized or eliminated during read and write cycles. If G goes low at the same time or after
W goes low, the output will remain in a high impedance state. After W or E has been brought high, the signal must remain in
steady-state high for a minimum of 2 ns. The minimum time between E being asserted low in one cycle to E being asserted
low in a subsequent cycle is the same as the minimum cycle time allowed for the device.
