FM24C256
256Kb FRAM Serial Memory
Features
256Kbit Ferroelectric Nonvolatile RAM
Fast Two-wire Serial Interface
Description
The FM24C256 is a 256-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 45 years
while eliminating the complexities, overhead, and
system
EEPROM and other nonvolatile memories.
The FM24C256 performs write operations at bus
speed. No write delays are incurred. The next bus
cycle may commence immediately without the need
for data polling. In addition, the product offers write
endurance
EEPROM. Also, FRAM exhibits much lower power
during writes than EEPROM since write operations
do not require an internally elevated power supply
voltage for write circuits.
These capabilities make the FM24C256 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
writing with less overhead for the system.
The FM24C256 is available in an 8-pin EIAJ SOIC
package using an industry standard two-wire
protocol. Ramtron’s “green” packages are RoHS
compliant. Specifications are guaranteed over an
industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
This product conforms specifications per the terms of the Ramtron
standard warranty. The product has completed Ramtron’s internal
qualification testing and has reached production status.

... This is explained in more detail in the interface section below. Users can expect several obvious system benefits from the FM24C256 due to its fast write cycle and high endurance as compared with EEPROM. However there are less obvious benefits as well. For example in a high noise environment, the fast-write operation is less susceptible to corruption than an EEPROM since the write cycle is completed quickly ...

... Bits 7-4 define the device type and must be set to 1010b for the FM24C256. These bits allow other types of function types to reside on the 2-wire bus within an identical address range. Bits 3-1 are the device select bits which are equivalent to chip select bits ...

... After the address information has been transmitted, data transfer between the bus master and the FM24C256 can begin. For a read operation the FM24C256 will place 8 data bits on the bus then wait for an Acknowledge from the master. If the Acknowledge occurs, the FM24C256 will transfer the next sequential byte ...

... After each byte, the internal address counter will be incremented. Each time the bus master acknowledges a byte, this indicates that the FM24C256 should read out the next sequential byte. There are four ways to properly terminate a read operation. Failing to properly terminate the read will Rev ...

... Therefore, endurance cycles are applied for each read and write access. The FRAM architecture is based on an array of rows and columns. Rows (A14-A6) are subdivided into 8 segments (A5-A3).
