Functional Overview
The FM3164/FM31256 device integrates F-RAM memory with
the most commonly needed functions for processor-based
systems. Major features include nonvolatile memory, real time
clock, low-VDD reset, watchdog timer, nonvolatile event counter,
lockable 64-bit serial number area, and general purpose
comparator that can be used for a power-fail (NMI) interrupt or
any other purpose.
The FM3164/FM31256 is a 64-Kbit/256-Kbit nonvolatile memory
employing an advanced ferroelectric process. A ferroelectric
random access memory or F-RAM is nonvolatile and performs
reads and writes similar to a RAM. This memory is truly
nonvolatile rather than battery backed. It provides reliable data
retention for 151 years while eliminating the complexities,
overhead, and system-level reliability problems caused by other
nonvolatile memories. The FM3164/FM31256 is capable of
supporting 1014 read/write cycles, or 100 million times more write
cycles than EEPROM.
The real time clock (RTC) provides time and date information in
BCD format. It can be permanently powered from an external
backup voltage source, either a battery or a capacitor. The
timekeeper uses a common external 32.768 kHz crystal and
provides a calibration mode that allows software adjustment of
timekeeping accuracy.
The processor companion includes commonly needed CPU
support functions. Supervisory functions include a reset output
signal controlled by either a low VDD condition or a watchdog
timeout. RST goes active when VDD drops below a
programmable threshold and remains active for 100 ms after
VDD rises above the trip point. A programmable watchdog timer
runs from 100 ms to 3 seconds. The watchdog timer is optional,
but if enabled it will assert the reset signal for 100 ms if not
restarted by the host before the timeout. A flag-bit indicates the
source of the reset.
A comparator on PFI compares an external input pin to the
onboard 1.2 V reference. This is useful for generating a
power-fail interrupt (NMI) but can be used for any purpose. The
family also includes a programmable 64-bit serial number that
can be locked making it unalterable. Additionally it offers a dual
battery-backed event counter that tracks the number of rising or
falling edges detected on a dedicated input pin.
