Renesas M3016 User Manual

1.

Overview

The Renesas Serial MRAM evaluation board contains a Serial MRAM device utilizing Spin-Transfer
Torque Magneto-Resistive Random-Access Memory (STT-MRAM) technology enabling users to develop
interactive hardware solutions using the Renesas Serial MRAM evaluation board and an Arduino UNO
Rev. 3 host board connected via standard SPI interface. The Arduino UNO host board communicates
with a computer using a USB 2.0 cable type A/B and terminal emulator software. Renesas software
bundled APIs and test program provide basic access to functionality of the Renesas Serial MRAM, also
known as Persistent SRAM (P-SRAM) device. The Arduino UNO SPI can operate up to 8MHz.
The MRAM evaluation kit includes:
