Description
The FM24C04C is a 4-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 36 years
while eliminating the complexities, overhead, and
system level reliability problems caused by EEPROM
and other nonvolatile memories.
The FM24C04C 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 FM24C04C is capable of
supporting 10
more write cycles than EEPROM.
These capabilities make the FM24C04C 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 FM24C04C provides substantial benefits to users
of serial EEPROM, yet these benefits are available in
a hardware drop-in replacement. The FM24C04C is
available in an industry standard 8-pin SOIC package
and uses a familiar two-wire protocol. The
specifications are guaranteed over the industrial
temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.
This is a product that has fixed target specifications but are subject
to change pending characterization results.

... This is explained in more detail in the interface section below. Users can expect several obvious system benefits from the FM24C04C 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 it is completed quickly ...

... When a read operation is complete and no more data is needed, the receiver must not acknowledge acknowledges the last byte, this will cause the FM24C04C to attempt to drive the bus on the next clock while the master is sending a new command such as a Stop command. Slave Address The first byte that the FM24C04C expects after a start condition is the slave address ...

... After all address information has been transmitted, data transfer between the bus master and the FM24C04C can begin. For a read operation the FM24C04C will place 8 data bits on the bus then wait for an acknowledge. If the acknowledge occurs, the next sequential byte will be transferred. If the acknowledge is not sent, the read operation is concluded ...

... FM24C04C 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 FM24C04C Rev. 1.1 June 2011 Address & Data 0 A Word Address Acknowledge Figure 5 ...

... Therefore, endurance cycles are applied for each read or write cycle. The memory architecture is based on an array of rows and columns.
