256K x 16-Bit 3.3-V
Asynchronous
Magnetoresistive RAM
Introduction
The MR2A16A is a 4,194,304-bit magnetoresistive
random access memory (MRAM) device
organized as 262,144 words of 16 bits. The
MR2A16A is equipped with chip enable (E), write
enable (W), and output enable (G) pins, allowing
for significant system design flexibility without bus
contention. Because the MR2A16A has separate
byte-enable controls (LB and UB), individual bytes
can be written and read.
MRAM is a nonvolatile memory technology that
protects data in the event of power loss and does
not require periodic refreshing. The MR2A16A is
the ideal memory solution for applications that
must permanently store and retrieve critical data
quickly.
The MR2A16A is available in a 400-mil, 44-lead
plastic small-outline TSOP type-II package with an
industry-standard center power and ground SRAM
pinout.
The MR2A16A is available in Commercial (0˚C to
70˚C), Industrial (
-
40˚C to 85˚C) and Extended
(
-
40˚C to 105˚C) ambient temperature ranges.

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.
