M95080-WMN6TP

The M95080-WMN6TP is a write-protected 2Kb Serial EEPROM device which incorporates advanced Write-Protection and lockdown features. It is designed specifically for memory applications using one-time programming or read-only operation. This device can be used in applications requiring extended write protection or limited operation.

Memory Applications

The M95080-WMN6TP is most commonly used for secure memory applications in various areas. It is the ideal choice for secure electronic signature devices in industries such as healthcare. These devices are used to store vital medical information that needs secure storage. The data stored may consist of patient medical records, prescriptions, insurance information, etc. It is also used as an application within gaming consoles, digital TVs, and other consumer electronic devices to store customer data and authentication information.

Working Principle

The M95080-WMN6TP features two unique write-protection features which enhances the data integrity of the device. The first feature is a user-programmable cycle counter. This counters the number of write cycles and prevent data from being overwritten which can be useful for applications with limited write cycles or where an indication of write-count is required. The second feature is the one-time programmable (OTP) cell which prevents data from being changed after a specified number of write cycles.

The device is write-protected in two different ways. Firstly, the cycle counter will prevent the data from being changed once it reaches the pre-programmed limit. Secondly, the OTP cell is programmed when the write-cycle counter reaches a certain number of cycles. Once the OTP cell is programmed, the data can no longer be reprogrammed. The lockout feature helps to prevent malicious access or tampering of the device.

The device also features a low-voltage protection circuit which prevents data corruption due to voltage fluctuations. When the voltage drops below the minimum rating, the device will lock itself until the voltage returns to its normal levels, thus protecting the data stored in the device.

Conclusion

The M95080-WMN6TP is a reliable memory device designed for secure applications. It offers enhanced write protection and features such as write-protection, one-time programmable cells, and low-voltage protection, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring secure storage and limited access. The device can be used in a variety of applications and provides the security and reliability required for secure memory applications.
