Features
Functional Description
The FM24V05 is a 512-Kbit nonvolatile memory employing an
advanced ferroelectric process. A ferroelectric random access
memory or F-RAM is nonvolatile and performs reads and writes
similar to a RAM. It provides reliable data retention for 151 years
while eliminating the complexities, overhead, and system-level
reliability problems caused by EEPROM and other nonvolatile
memories.
■ 512-Kbit ferroelectric random access memory (F-RAM)
logically organized as 64 K × 8
❐ High-endurance 100 trillion (1014) read/writes
❐ 151-year data retention (See the Data Retention and
Endurance table)
❐ NoDelay™ writes
❐ Advanced high-reliability ferroelectric process
Unlike EEPROM, the FM24V05 performs write operations at bus
speed. No write delays are incurred. Data is written to the
memory array immediately after each byte is successfully
transferred to the device. The next bus cycle can commence
without the need for data polling. In addition, the product offers
substantial write endurance compared with other nonvolatile
memories. Also, F-RAM exhibits much lower power during writes
than EEPROM since write operations do not require an internally
elevated power supply voltage for write circuits. The FM24V05 is
capable of supporting 1014 read/write cycles, or 100 million times
more write cycles than EEPROM.
■ Fast 2-wire Serial interface (I2C)
❐ Up to 3.4-MHz frequency
❐ Direct hardware replacement for serial (I2C) EEPROM
❐ Supports legacy timings for 100 kHz and 400 kHz
■ Device ID
❐ Manufacturer ID and Product ID
■ Low power consumption
❐ 175 A active current at 100 kHz
❐ 90 A (typ) standby current
❐ 5 A (typ) sleep mode current
These capabilities make the FM24V05 ideal for nonvolatile
memory applications, requiring frequent or rapid writes.
Examples range from data logging, 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.
■ Low-voltage operation: VDD = 2.0 V to 3.6 V
■ Industrial temperature: –40 C to +85 C
■ 8-pin small outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package
■ Restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) compliant
The FM24V05 provides substantial benefits to users of serial
(I2C) EEPROM as a hardware drop-in replacement. The device
incorporates a read-only Device ID that allows the host to
determine the manufacturer, product density, and product
revision. The device specifications are guaranteed over an
industrial temperature range of –40 C to +85 C.
