 | | Serial F-RAM Nonvolatile Memory - Cypress Semiconductor’s Serial F-RAM (Ferroelectric RAM) memories combine nonvolatile data storage with the fast speed of RAM. Serial F-RAM offers densities ranging from 4 Kb to 2 Mb, SPI and I²C interfaces, and industry-standard packages. Serial F-RAM has three distinct advantages over traditional nonvolatile memories: fast write speed with no write delay, virtually unlimited endurance, and low energy consumption. Serial F-RAM provides fast writes at full interface speed. Serial F-RAM does not have any write delays; data is instantly nonvolatile.

White Paper: Performance and Energy Comparison of F-RAM and EEPROM This white paper quantifies the overall impact that Ramtron low-energy F-RAM has on the energy consumption and nonvolatile memory performance within a practical system. A comparison is made between F-RAM Low Energy Memory and a standard EEPROM. A simple data collection system that consists of a sensor, a low power microcontroller and a nonvolatile memory is considered in the system analysis.
Ferroelectric Technology Brief Ferroelectric Random Access Memory or F-RAM has attributes that make it the ideal nonvolatile memory. It is a true nonvolatile RAM. In the past two years the technology has moved rapidly toward its emergence as a mainstream memory selection. This technology note provides a brief explanation of its operation as well as an overview of the technology development status.
Data Retention Performance of 0.5µ F-RAM Products This document presents retention test data on both 5V and 3V 0.5µ products. Data retention can be predicted based on accelerated testing. The results support the change to the retention specification from 10 to 45 years.
Endurance of 0.5µ FRAM Products FRAM is also known for its high endurance, a fast write speed, and low power consumption. Endurance is defined as the ability of the device to sustain switchable polarization after many switching cycles. It is one of the critical performance characteristics for FRAM applications. Due to the high endurance of FRAM devices, evaluating the endurance behavior in a reasonable amount of time becomes difficult. |
