Description
The FM25040B is a 4-kilobit nonvolatile memory
employing an advanced ferroelectric process. A
ferroelectric random access memory or FRAM is
nonvolatile but operates in other respects as a RAM.
It provides reliable data retention for years while
eliminating the complexities, overhead, and system
level reliability problems caused by EEPROM and
other nonvolatile memories.
The FM25040B performs write operations at bus
speed. No write delays are incurred. Data is written to
the memory array immediately after each byte has
been transferred to the device. The next bus cycle
may commence without the need for data polling.
The FM25040B is capable of supporting 1013
read/write cycles, or 10 million times more write
cycles than EEPROM.
These capabilities make the FM25040B ideal for
nonvolatile memory applications requiring frequent
or rapid writes. Examples range from data collection,
where the number of write cycles may be critical, to
demanding industrial controls where the long write
time of EEPROM can cause data loss.
The FM25040B provides substantial benefits to users
of serial EEPROM, in a hardware drop-in
replacement. The FM25040B uses the high-speed SPI
bus which enhances the high-speed write capability
of FRAM technology. Device specifications are
guaranteed over the automotive temperature range of
-40°C to +125°C.
