INTRODUCTION
The
MR256D08B
is a 262,144-bit magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) device organized as
32,768 words of 8 bits. It supports I/O voltages from +1.65 to +3.6 volts. The MR256D08B offers SRAM
compatible 45ns 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 MR256D08B is the ideal memory solution for applications that must
permanently store and retrieve critical data and programs quickly.
The
MR256D08B
is available in small footprint 8 mm x 8 mm, 48-pin ball grid array (BGA) package with
0.75 mm ball centers.
The
MR256D08B
provides highly reliable data storage over a wide range of temperatures. The product is
offered with commercial temperature (0 to +70 °C).

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.

Permanent device damage may occur if absolute maximum ratings are exceeded. Functional opera-
tion should be restricted to recommended operating conditions. Exposure to excessive voltages or
magnetic fields could affect device reliability.
All voltages are referenced to V
SS
.
Power dissipation capability depends on package characteristics and use environment.
