Key Differentiators
- Higher write endurance (4 million cycles) compared to many competitors (vs 25LC1024-I/SN)
- Wider supply voltage range (1.8V to 5.5V) (vs 25LC1024-I/SN)
- Same-brand drop-in compatibility with M95M02-DRWMN6TP (vs M95M02-DRWMN6TP)
Design Notes
Place a 0.1 uF ceramic decoupling capacitor as close as possible to the VCC pin (pin 8) and connect it to the ground plane. For high-speed SPI operation at 20 MHz, keep the SPI traces short and matched in length to minimize signal skew. Use series resistors (e.g., 22 ohm) on SCK, SI, and CS lines to reduce ringing and improve signal integrity.
Ensure the CS pin is held high when the device is not selected to prevent unintended write operations. During write cycles, poll the WIP bit in the status register or wait 5 ms before sending the next command. Do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings, especially the supply voltage (6.5V) and input voltages, to avoid permanent damage.
The M95M02-DRMN6TP has a low standby current of 1 uA, making it suitable for battery-powered applications. To achieve this, ensure the HOLD pin is tied high and the CS pin is high when the device is idle. In deep power-down mode, the device consumes even less current, but wake-up time must be considered in the system design.
