series introduction
# Introduction to the FM24C64B - GTR Product Series
## 1. Overview
The FM24C64B - GTR product series belongs to the family of non - volatile ferroelectric random - access memory (FRAM) devices. These devices are designed to offer a unique combination of high - speed write operations, low power consumption, and high endurance, making them an ideal choice for a wide range of applications where data storage and retrieval are critical.
## 2. Key Features
### 2.1 Memory Capacity
The FM24C64B - GTR has a memory capacity of 64 kilobits (8 kilobytes). This capacity is suitable for storing various types of data, such as configuration settings, sensor readings, event logs, and calibration data in many embedded systems.
### 2.2 High - Speed Write Operations
One of the most significant advantages of FRAM technology used in the FM24C64B - GTR is its extremely fast write speed. Unlike traditional EEPROMs, which can take several milliseconds to complete a write operation, FRAM can write data in a single clock cycle. This high - speed write capability allows for real - time data logging and reduces the overall system latency, enabling more efficient operation of the connected devices.
### 2.3 Low Power Consumption
The FM24C64B - GTR is designed with power efficiency in mind. It consumes very little power during both read and write operations. This is especially important for battery - powered devices, as it helps to extend the battery life. The low power consumption also reduces the heat generated by the device, which can improve the reliability and longevity of the overall system.
### 2.4 High Endurance
FRAM technology offers an extremely high endurance rating. The FM24C64B - GTR can withstand up to 10^14 read/write cycles. This makes it suitable for applications where frequent data updates are required, such as in industrial control systems, automotive electronics, and medical devices. In contrast, traditional EEPROMs typically have an endurance rating of only 10^5 to 10^6 cycles.
### 2.5 I²C Interface
The FM24C64B - GTR is equipped with an industry - standard I²C (Inter - Integrated Circuit) interface. This interface is widely used in embedded systems due to its simplicity, low pin count, and ability to support multiple devices on the same bus. The I²C interface allows for easy integration with microcontrollers, sensors, and other components, reducing the complexity of the system design.
## 3. Package and Operating Conditions
### 3.1 Package Options
The FM24C64B - GTR is available in a variety of industry - standard packages, such as the 8 - pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) and TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package). These packages are widely used in the electronics industry, making it easy to incorporate the device into existing PCB (Printed Circuit Board) designs.
### 3.2 Operating Temperature Range
The device is designed to operate over a wide temperature range, typically from - 40°C to + 85°C. This wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for use in harsh environments, such as automotive, industrial, and outdoor applications.
### 3.3 Supply Voltage
The FM24C64B - GTR operates with a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V. This wide supply voltage range provides flexibility in system design and allows the device to be used in a variety of power - supply configurations.
