A ferroelectric random access memory or F-RAM is nonvolatile, which means that data is retained after power is removed. It provides data retention for over 151 years while eliminating the reliability concerns, functional disadvantages, and system design complexities of battery-backed SRAM (BBSRAM). Fast write timing and high write endurance make the F-RAM superior to other types of memory. The FM21L16 operation is similar to that of other RAM devices and therefore, it can be used as a drop-in replacement for a standard SRAM in a system. Re ad and write cycles may be triggered by CE or simply by changing the address. The F-RAM memory is nonvolatile due to its unique ferroelectric memory process. These features make the FM21L16 ideal for nonvolatile memory applications requiring frequent or rapid writes. The FM21L16 includes a low voltage monitor that blocks access to the memory array when V DD drops below V DD min. The memory is protected against an inadvertent access and data corruption under this condition. The device also features software-controlled write prot ection. The memory array is divided into 8 uniform blocks, each of which can be individually write protected. The device is available in a 400-mil, 44-pin TSOP-II surface mount package. Device specifications are guaranteed over the industrial temperature range –40 °C to +85 °C. For a complete list of related documentation, click here.

Document Number: 001-86191 Rev. *D Page 4 of 22 Device Operation The FM21L16 is a word wide F-RAM memory logically organized as 131,072 × 16 and accessed using an industry-standard parallel interface. All data written to the part is immediately nonvolatile with no delay. The device offers page mode operation, which provides high-speed access to addresses within a page (row). Access to a different page requires that either CE transitions LOW or the upper address (A 16–A2) changes. See the Functional Truth Table on page 17 for a complete description of read and write modes. Memory Operation Users access 131,072 memory locations, each with 16 data bits through a parallel interface. The F-RAM array is organized as eight blocks, each having 4096 rows. Each row has four column locations, which allow fast access in page mode operation. When an initial address is latched by the falling edge of CE subsequent column locations may be accessed without the need to toggle CE . When CE is deasserted HIGH, a pre-charge operation begins. Writes occur immediately at the end of the access with no delay. The WE pin must be toggled for each write operation. The write data is stored in the nonvolatile memory array immediately, which is a feature unique to F-RAM called NoDelay writes. Read Operation A read operation begins on the falling edge of CE . The falling edge of CE causes the address to be latched and starts a memory read cycle if WE is HIGH. Data becomes available on the bus after the access time is met. When the address is latched and the access completed, a new access to a random location (different row) may begin while CE is still LOW. The minimum cycle time for random addresses is tRC. Note that unlike SRAMs, the FM21L16's CE -initiated access time is faster than the address access time. The FM21L16 will drive the data bus when OE and at least one of the byte enables (UB , LB) is asserted LOW. The upper data byte is driven when UB is LOW, and the lower data byte is driven when LB is LOW. If OE is asserted after the memory access time is met, the data bus will be driven with valid data. If OE is asserted before completing the memory access, the data bus will not be driven until valid data is available. This feature minimizes supply current in the system by eliminating transients caused by invalid data being driven to the bus. When OE is deasserted HIGH, the data bus will remain in a HI-Z state. Write Operation In the FM21L16, writes occur in the same interval as reads. The FM21L16 supports both CE and WE controlled write cycles. In both cases, the address A16–A2 is latched on the falling edge of CE. In a CE -controlled write, the WE signal is asserted before beginning the memory cycle. That is, WE is LOW when CE falls. In this case, the device begins the memory cycle as a write. The FM21L16 will not drive the data bus regardless of the state of OE as long as WE is LOW. Input data must be valid when CE is deasserted HIGH. In a WE -controlled write, the memory cycle begins on the falling edge of CE. The WE signal falls some time later. Therefore, the memory cycle begins as a read. The data bus will be driven if OE is LOW; however, it will be HI-Z when WE is asserted LOW. The CE- and WE-controlled write timing cases are shown in the page 14. Write access to the array begins on the falling edge of WE after the memory cycle is initiated. The write access terminates on the rising edge of WE or CE , whichever comes first. A valid write operation requires the user to meet the access time specification before deasserting WE or CE. The data setup time indicates the interval during which data cannot change before the end of the write access (rising edge of WE or CE). Unlike other nonvolatile memory technologies, there is no write delay with F-RAM. Because the read and write access times of the underlying memory are the same, the user experiences no delay through the bus. The entire memory operation occurs in a single bus cycle. Data polling, a technique used with EEPROMs to determine if a write is complete, is unnecessary. Page Mode Operation The F-RAM array is organized as eight blocks, each having 4096 rows. Each row has four column-address locations. Address inputs A 1–A0 define the column address to be accessed. An access can start on any column address, and other column locations may be accessed without the need to toggle the CE pin. For fast access reads, after the first data byte is driven to the bus, the column address inputs A 1–A0 may be changed to a new value. A new data byte is then driven to the DQ pins no later than tAAP, which is less than half the initial read access time. For fast access writes, the first write pulse defines the first write access. While CE is LOW, a subsequent write pulse along with a new column address provides a page mode write access. Pre-charge Operation The pre-charge operation is an in ternal condition in which the memory state is prepared for a new access. Pre-charge is user-initiated by driving the CE signal HIGH. It must remain HIGH for at least the minimum pre-charge time, tPC. Pre-charge is also activated by changing the upper addresses, A16–A2. The current row is first closed before accessing the new row. The device automatically detects an upper order address change, which starts a pre-charge operation. The new address is latched and the new read data is valid within the t AA address access time; see Figure 9 on page 13. A similar sequence occurs for write cycles; see Figure 14 on page 14 . The rate at which random addresses can be issued is tRC and tWC, respectively. Sleep Mode The device incorporates a sleep mode of operation, which allows the user to achieve the lowest power supply current condition. It enters a low-power sleep mode by asserting the ZZ pin LOW. Read and write operations must complete before the ZZ pin going LOW. When ZZ is LOW, all pins are ignored except the ZZ pin. When ZZ is deasserted HIGH, there is some time delay (tZZEX) before the user can access the device. If sleep mode is not used, the ZZ pin should be tied to VDD. Not recommended for new designs.
