FM25V20A 2-Mbit (256 K 8) Serial (SPI) F-RAM with Extended Temperature FM25V20A, 2-Mbit (256 K X 8) Serial (SPI) F-RAM with Extended Temperature Features Functional Description 2-Mbit ferroelectric random access memory (F-RAM) logically The FM25V20A is a 2-Mbit nonvolatile memory employing an organized as 256 K 8 advanced ferroelectric process. A ferroelectric random access 14 memory or F-RAM is nonvolatile and performs reads and writes High-endurance 10 trillion (10 ) read/writes similar to a RAM. It provides reliable data retention for 121 years 121-year data retention (See the Data Retention and while eliminating the complexities, overhead, and system level Endurance table) reliability problems caused by serial flash, EEPROM, and other NoDelay writes nonvolatile memories. Advanced high-reliability ferroelectric process Unlike serial flash and EEPROM, the FM25V20A performs write Very fast SPI operations at bus speed. No write delays are incurred. Data is Up to 33 MHz frequency written to the memory array immediately after each byte is Direct hardware replacement for serial flash and EEPROM successfully transferred to the device. The next bus cycle can Supports SPI mode 0 (0, 0) and mode 3 (1, 1) commence without the need for data polling. In addition, the product offers substantial write endurance compared with other Sophisticated write protection scheme nonvolatile memories. The FM25V20A is capable of supporting Hardware protection using the Write Protect (WP) pin 14 10 read/write cycles, or 10 million times more write cycles than Software protection using Write Disable instruction EEPROM. Software block protection for 1/4, 1/2, or entire array These capabilities make the FM25V20A ideal for nonvolatile Device ID memory applications requiring frequent or rapid writes. Manufacturer ID and Product ID Examples range from data collection, where the number of write cycles may be critical, to demanding industrial controls where the Low power consumption long write time of serial flash or EEPROM can cause data loss. 3.0 mA active current at 33 MHz The FM25V20A provides substantial benefits to users of serial 400 A standby current EEPROM or flash as a hardware drop-in replacement. The 12 A sleep mode current FM25V20A uses the high-speed SPI bus, which enhances the Low-voltage operation: V = 2.0 V to 3.6 V high-speed write capability of F-RAM technology. The device DD incorporates a read-only Device ID that allows the host to Extended temperature: 40 C to +105 C determine the manufacturer, product density, and product revision. The device specifications are guaranteed over an 8-pin thin dual flat no leads (DFN) package extended temperature range of 40 C to +105 C.
