FM25VN10-G

FM25VN10-G is a type of non-volatile memory, more precisely a ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM). FRAM is a type of memory that combines the advantages of both volatile and non-volatile memory. It has the low-power features and fast write speeds of volatile memory, such as DRAM, with the non-volatility of Flash or EEPROM.

The FM25VN10-G is an ideal memory solution for applications that require both wide temperature range and low power consumption. It is available in a small 8-pin MSOP package and is designed to operate over an extended temperature range, from -40°C to +125°C. The chip offers a higher write endurance than Flash memory, up to 10 trillion writes, making it an ideal choice for applications that require long-term data storage.

The chip provides 1M bit of non-volatile memory with a 10ns typical write cycle time, and it consumes as little as 10uA in idle/standby mode. It can operate from a wide voltage range, from 1.7V to 3.6V, with no need for an external voltage regulator. The FM25VN10-G is an ultra-low power solution for its target applications and has no write-waiting time feature.

In addition to its low power consumption, the chip also offers a high write endurance and an unlimited number of reads. It has self detected memory technology and is able to drive up to four external pins for software enable/disable feature. The device is programmed using the industry-standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).

The working principle of FM25VN10-G memory is based on the use of capacitor-based cells. Each cell on the chip contains two thin metallic plates and a dielectric insulator between them. During a write cycle, the electric field between the two plates stores a small amount of electric charge, while a read operation is possible by detecting the amount of charge stored. The voltage applied to each plate is selected such that it will not damage the cell structure and the stored charge is retained even after power is removed.

This innovative non-volatile memory solution is suitable for automotive, industrial, and medical applications, as well as for harsh environment and long-term data storage. With its low power consumption and high write endurance, it is an ideal choice for applications that require reliable and long-term data storage. The FM25VN10-G has proven to be a reliable and robust solution for a wide range of applications, and is the perfect choice for applications requiring data retention, real time data storage and access, and error checking and correction.
