Long-life FRAM cuts power to oust EEPROMs
Ramtron has expanded its low-power ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) product line with the introduction and availability of the 4Kbit FM24CL04.
"Collecting critical data at bus speed, virtually unlimited endurance and low power, FRAM is being embedded into more and more designs that require rapid and frequent data writes, in an array of applications from meters and industrial controls to computing and automotive systems".
The FM3130 is a FRAM-enhanced 64Kbit, 3V processor companion product that combines all the benefits of nonvolatile RAM with an integrated real-time clock (RTC) in a single 8-pin package.
The RTC features an alarm and a programmable frequency clock output and uses a common 12pF watch crystal.
The device is available in a standard 150mil SOIC package and a tiny DFN (dual flat no-lead) package that is footprint-compatible with TSSOP8s.
The FM3130 has been streamlined to reduce system cost and board space in consumer and computing applications, supporting commonly-needed system functions in products such as printers and high-definition televisions without the need for discrete components.
The VRS51L3074 is the first 8051-based microcontroller with FRAM memory.
Ramtron has added 8Kbyte of FRAM to its fast and flexible Versa 8051s for quick and reliable nonvolatile data storage and a processing system that only a FRAM-enhanced MCU can provide.
The FM25L512 is a 512Kbit serial peripheral interface (SPI) FRAM that operates at 3V and runs at up to 20MHz.
The device provides increased data collection and storage capacity in a tiny, 8-pin DFN package that is footprint-compatible with standard 150mil SOIC packages, cutting costs and board space in applications from multi-function printers to industrial motor controllers.
The FM24C512 is a 512Kbit two-wire serial FRAM that operates at 5V and runs at up to 1MHz.
The FM24C512 is available in an 8-pin EIAJ SOIC and is targeted for use in applications that require high capacity data collection, such as utility metering and real-time configuration storage.
The FM20L08 is Ramtron's highest-density FRAM to date.
This product is a drop-in replacement for standard asynchronous SRAMs, targeting data collection and storage systems in which power levels can vary or be suddenly lost, such as set-top boxes, automotive telematics and industrial applications.
