Description
The FM25V10 is a 1-megabit nonvolatile memory
employing an advanced ferroelectric process. A
ferroelectric random access memory or F-RAM is
nonvolatile and performs reads and writes like a
RAM. It provides reliable data retention for 10 years
while eliminating the complexities, overhead, and
system level reliability problems caused by Serial
Flash and other nonvolatile memories.
Unlike Serial Flash, the FM25V10 performs write
operations at bus speed. No write delays are incurred.
Data is written to the memory array immediately
after it has been transferred to the device. The next
bus cycle may commence without the need for data
polling. The product offers very high write
endurance, orders of magnitude more endurance than
Serial Flash. Also, F-RAM exhibits lower power
consumption than Serial Flash.
These capabilities make the FM25V10 ideal for
nonvolatile memory applications requiring frequent
or rapid writes or low power operation. Examples
range from data collection, where the number of
write cycles may be critical, to demanding industrial
controls where the long write time of Serial Flash can
cause data loss.
The FM25V10 provides substantial benefits to users
of Serial Flash as a hardware drop-in replacement.
The devices use the high-speed SPI bus, which
enhances the high-speed write capability of F-RAM
This is a product in the pre-production phase of development. Device
characterization is complete and Ramtron does not expect to change the
specifications. Ramtron will issue a Product Change Notice if any
specification changes are made.
technology. The FM25VN10 is offered with a unique
serial number that is read-only and can be used to
identify a board or system. Both devices incorporate
a read-only Device ID that allows the host to
determine the manufacturer, product density, and
product revision. The devices are guaranteed over an
industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
