Description

The FM24C64B is a 64-kilobit nonvolatile memory

employing an advanced ferroelectric process. A

ferroelectric random access memory or FRAM is

nonvolatile and performs reads and writes like a

RAM. It provides reliable data retention for 38 years

while eliminating the complexities, overhead, and

system

level

reliability

problems

caused

by

EEPROM and other nonvolatile memories.

The FM24C64B performs write operations at bus

speed. No write delays are incurred. Data is written to

the memory array in the cycle after it has been

successfully transferred to the device. The next bus

cycle may commence immediately without the need

for data polling.

The FM24C64B is capable of

supporting 10

more write cycles than EEPROM.

These capabilities make the FM24C64B 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

combination of features allows more frequent data

writes with less overhead for the system.

The FM24C64B provides substantial benefits to users

of serial EEPROM, yet these benefits are available in

a hardware drop-in replacement. The FM24C64B is

available in an industry standard 8-pin SOIC package

and

uses

a

familiar

two-wire

protocol.

The

specifications are guaranteed over an industrial

temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
