存储器的类型将决定整个嵌入式系统的操作和性能,因此存储器的选择是一个非常重要的决策。无论系统是采用电池供电还是由市电供电,应用需求将决定存储器的类型(易失性或非易失性)以及使用目的(存储代码、数据或者两者兼有)。另外,在选择过程中,存储器的尺寸和成本也是需要考虑的重要因素。 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 offers SRAM compatible 35 ns 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 MR2A16A is the ideal memory solution for applications that must permanently store and retrieve critical data and programs quickly. The M2A16A is available in a small footprint 48-pin ball grid array (BGA) package and a 44-pin thin small outline package (TSOP Type 2). These packages are compatible with similar low-power SRAM products and other nonvolatile RAM products. The MR2A16A provides highly reliable data storage over a wide range of temperatures. The product is offered with Commercial (0 to +70 °C), Industrial (-40 to +85 °C), Extended (-40 to +105 °C), and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (-40 to +125 °C) operating temperature range options.
