Manufacturer: ['cypress-semiconductor', 'cypress', 'ramtron']
The **FM16W08 Series** is a family of high-performance, low-power ferroelectric random-access memory (FRAM) devices designed to deliver non-volatile data storage with exceptional speed, endurance, and reliability. These devices combine the benefits of RAM-like fast read/write operations with the non-volatility of traditional flash memory, making them ideal for applications requiring frequent data updates and long-term data retention. With a storage capacity of 8 megabits (1 megabyte), the FM16W08 Series is engineered to meet the demands of modern embedded systems, IoT devices, and industrial applications.
One of the standout features of the FM16W08 Series is its **virtually unlimited write endurance**, capable of supporting up to 10^14 read/write cycles. This far exceeds the capabilities of conventional EEPROM or flash memory, making it an excellent choice for applications that involve continuous data logging, real-time data processing, or frequent configuration updates. Additionally, the series operates at **low power consumption**, ensuring energy efficiency in battery-powered or power-sensitive systems. The fast write speeds, with no need for an erase cycle, further enhance its performance, enabling seamless integration into high-speed data acquisition systems.
The FM16W08 Series is designed with a **serial peripheral interface (SPI)**, providing easy integration with a wide range of microcontrollers and processors. Its compact form factor and robust design make it suitable for space-constrained applications, while its wide operating voltage range (2.7V to 3.6V) ensures compatibility with various system architectures. The devices also feature **industrial-grade temperature tolerance**, operating reliably in environments ranging from -40°C to +85°C, making them suitable for harsh industrial and automotive conditions.
Typical applications for the FM16W08 Series include **data logging in industrial automation**, **parameter storage in medical devices**, **event recording in automotive systems**, and **configuration storage in IoT sensors**. Its ability to retain data without power and withstand extreme environmental conditions makes it a preferred choice for mission-critical systems. Whether used in smart meters, wearable devices, or advanced robotics, the FM16W08 Series delivers unmatched performance, durability, and versatility, setting a new standard for non-volatile memory solutions.
