M25P16-VMN3TP/4 TR

The M25P16-VMN3TP/4 TR is a 16Mb memory serial Flash which is made by STMicroelectronics. It is a single voltage device (1.8V to 3.6V) and supports a single 3-byte address. The memory device offers a wide range of features, including SPI, QSPI and QuadSPI data transmission support, sector and block protection, XIP (Execute In Place) ability and small construction size.

Application Field and Working Principle of M25P16-VMN3TP/4 TR

The M25P16-VMN3TP/4 TR is used for many applications where Internet of things (IoT) devices require a secure and persistent storage of contents and data logs. This device can be used in automotive, consumer and industrial applications, such as smart products, ride sharing, connected cars, automated air conditioners, media streaming and health monitoring.

The working principle of the M25P16-VMN3TP/4 TR is based on an asynchronous non volatile memory (NVM) which stores data even if it is not powered. Besides, the device integrates an internal buffer which enables both a single and a multiple input/output (I/O) to be executed. Moreover it includes enhanced security features such as sector/block protection and hardware-based limited access to control content usage.

The M25P16-VMN3TP/4 TR offers a performant data storage where datasheet specifications shows its endurance level, data retention and speed performance. The endurance profile of the part is rated at at least 100,000 erase/program cycles and 40 years data retention. Moreover, the maximum frequency for QSPI to QuadSPI conversion reads is 104Mhz.
