Cheap SPI MRAM - any experience with PM004MNIATR?
« on: May 25, 2024, 07:48:46 pm »
I'm looking for options for cheap (<$4), SPI-addressable, 1-4Mbit of fast memory for a new project and I came across these SOP-8 MRAM modules from Shanghai Siproin Microelectronics:


Does anyone have any experience with these parts? The cheapest option @ digikey.com for a 2Mbit SPI MRAM module is USD $6.67 (qty 1000), so this would be a substantial improvement.

Why does it have to be MRAM?
F-RAM or nvSRAM are much more common.

50Mhz max is not fast, even SPI Psuevdo RAM(old school DRAM) does at least 133Mhz

Thanks for the suggestion! I'd totally take FRAM (or any other fast-write technology), but the cheapest Infineon part I can find is FM25V20A-PG, USD4.60 @ digikey.

I mostly just need fast writes to an SPI or I2C memory block to buffer some collected data for processing - 50MHz is plenty fast. Something like the Microchip 23LCV1024-I/ST actually looks pretty good though.
