Description
The FM22L16 is a 256Kx16 nonvolatile memory that
reads and writes like
a standard SRAM. A
ferroelectric random access memory or F-RAM is
nonvolatile, which means that data is retained after
power is removed. It provides data retention for over
10 years while eliminating the reliability concerns,
functional disadvantages, and system design
complexities of battery-backed SRAM (BBSRAM).
Fast write timing and high write endurance make the
F-RAM superior to other types of memory.

In-system operation of the FM22L16 is very similar
to other RAM devices and can be used as a drop-in
replacement for standard SRAM. Read and write
cycles may be triggered by /CE or simply by
changing the address. The F-RAM memory is
nonvolatile due to its unique ferroelectric memory
process. These features make the FM22L16 ideal for
nonvolatile memory applications requiring frequent
or rapid writes in the form of an SRAM.

The FM22L16 includes a low voltage monitor that
blocks access to the memory array when VDD drops
below VDD min. The memory is protected against an
inadvertent access and data corruption under this
condition. The device also features software-
controlled write protection. The memory array is
divided into 8 uniform blocks, each of which can be
individually write protected.
