Description
The FM21LD16 is a 128Kx16 nonvolatile memory
that reads and writes like a standard SRAM. A
ferroelectric random access memory or F-RAM is
nonvolatile, which means that data is retained after
power is removed. It provides data retention for over
10 years while eliminating the reliability concerns,
functional disadvantages, and system design
complexities of battery-backed SRAM (BBSRAM).
Fast write timing and high write endurance make the
F-RAM superior to other types of memory.
In-system operation of the FM21LD16 is very similar
to other RAM devices and can be used as a drop-in
replacement for standard SRAM. Read and write
cycles may be triggered by /CE or simply by
changing the address. The F-RAM memory is
nonvolatile due to its unique ferroelectric memory
process. These features make the FM21LD16 ideal
for nonvolatile memory applications requiring
frequent or rapid writes in the form of an SRAM.
The FM21LD16 includes a low voltage monitor that
blocks access to the memory array when V_DD drops
below V_DD min. The memory is protected against an
inadvertent access and data corruption under this
condition. The device also features software-
controlled write protection. The memory array is
divided into 8 uniform blocks, each of which can be
individually write protected.
This is a product that has fixed target specifications but are subject
to change pending characterization results.
