Nonvolatile FRAM writes at full bus
speed
The FM24CL16 from Solid State Supplies is a low power 16Kbit ferroelectric nonvolatile RAM (FRAM) organised as a 2K x 8bit memory array which performs write operations at full bus speed.
The FM24CL16 from Solid State Supplies is a low power 16Kbit ferroelectric nonvolatile RAM (FRAM) organised as a 2K x 8bit memory array which performs write operations at bus speed without delay and reliably retains the data for 10 years Data are written to the memory of the FM24CL16 in 70ns after transfer and the next bus cycle can commence immediately

The MUR range of ultrafast rectifiers from Solid State Supplies have been specifically designed to provide optimised performance of forward voltage drop with a reverse recovery time of 25ns.
Additionally, the FM24CL16 offers substantial write endurance compared with other nonvolatile memories being capable of supporting up to 10 billion read/write cycles which is far more than most systems will require from a serial memory.
These capabilities make the FM24CL16 ideal for applications requiring frequent or rapid writes such as data collection and demanding industrial control systems where the long write time experienced when using EEPROMs can cause damaging data loss.
Designed as a drop in replacement for a serial EEPROM, the FM24CL16 is available as an industry standard 8-pin SOP or DIP package using a bidirectional two-wire protocol with up to 1MHz maximum bus frequency.
A true low power 2.7-5.5V operating device, the FM24CL16 only requires a 1uA standby current, 75uA active, and has an operating industrial temperature range of -40 to +85C.
