256Kb FRAM Serial Memory
Features
256K bit 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 but operates in other respects as a RAM.
It provides reliable data retention for 10 years while
eliminating the complexities, overhead, and system
level reliability problems caused by EEPROM and
other nonvolatile memories.
The FM24C256 performs write operations at bus
speed. No write delays are incurred. Data is written to
the memory array mere hundreds of nanoseconds
after it has been successfully transferred to the
device. The next bus cycle may commence
immediately.
substantial write endurance compared with other
nonvolatile memories. The FM24C256 is capable of
supporting up to 1E10-read/write cycles -- far more
than most systems will require from a serial memory.
These capabilities make the FM24C256 ideal for
nonvolatile memory applications r e quiring 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 provided in a 20-pin SOP package
using a familiar two-wire protocol. It is guaranteed
over an industrial temperature range of -40°C to
+85°C.

... This is explained in more detail in the interface section below. Users 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 ...

... If the receiver acknowledges the last byte, this will cause the FM24C256 to attempt to drive the bus on the next clock while the master is sending a new command such as stop. ...

... 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 ...

... 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 most likely create a bus contention as the FM24C256 10 April 2001 Address & Data X 0 ...

... Each access causes a cycle for an entire row. Therefore, data locations targeted for substantially differing numbers of cycles should not be located within the same row. In the FM24C256, a row is 64 bits wide. Each 8 bytes in the address marks the beginning of a new row. ...

In the area of contactless memory, FRAM provides an ideal solution.
