Description
The FM25H20 is a 2-megabit nonvolatile memory employing an advanced ferroelectric process. A ferroelectric random access memory or F-RAM is nonvolatile and performs reads and writes like a RAM. It provides reliable data retention for 10 years while eliminating the complexities, overhead, and system level reliability problems caused by Serial Flash and other nonvolatile memories. Unlike Serial Flash, the FM25H20 performs write operations at bus speed. No write delays are incurred. Data is written to the memory array immediately after it has been transferred to the device. The next bus cycle may commence without the need for data polling. The product offers virtually unlimited write endurance, orders of magnitude more endurance than Serial Flash. Also, F-RAM exhibits lower power consumption than Serial Flash. These capabilities make the FM25H20 ideal for nonvolatile memory applications requiring frequent or rapid writes or low power operation. Examples range from data collection, where the number of write cycles may be critical, to demanding industrial controls where the long write time of Serial Flash can cause data loss. The FM25H20 provides substantial benefits to users of Serial Flash as a hardware drop-in replacement. The FM25H20 uses the high-speed SPI bus, which enhances the high-speed write capability of F-RAM technology. Device specifications are guaranteed over an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Pin Configuration S Q W VSS VDD HOLD C D Pinout is equivalent to other SPI F-RAM devices.

Rev. 2.2 Sept. 2010 Page 3 of 15 Overview The FM25H20 is a serial F-RAM memory. The memory array is logically organized as 262,144 x 8 and is accessed using an industry standard Serial Peripheral Interface or SPI bus. Functional operation of the F-RAM is similar to Serial Flash. The major differences between the FM25H20 and a Serial Flash with the same pinout are the F-RAM’s superior write performance, very high endurance, and lower power consumption. Memory Architecture When accessing the FM25H20, the user addresses 256K locations of 8 data bits each. These data bits are shifted serially. The addresses are accessed using the SPI protocol, which includes a chip select (to permit multiple devices on the bus), an op-code, and a three- byte address. The complete address of 18-bits specifies each byte address uniquely. Most functions of the FM25H20 either are controlled by the SPI interface or are handled automatically by on-board circuitry. The access time for memory operation is essentially zero, beyond the time needed for the serial protocol. That is, the memory is read or written at the speed of the SPI bus. Unlike Serial Flash, it is not necessary to poll the device for a ready condition since writes occur at bus speed. So, by the time a new bus transaction can be shifted into the device, a write operation will be complete. This is explained in more detail in the interface section. Users expect several obvious system benefits from the FM25H20 due to its fast write cycle and high endurance as compared to Serial Flash. In addition there are less obvious benefits as well. For example in a high noise environment, the fast-write operation is less susceptible to corruption than Serial Flash since it is completed quickly. By contrast, Serial Flash requiring milliseconds to write is vulnerable to noise during much of the cycle. Serial Peripheral Interface – SPI Bus The FM25H20 employs a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus. It is specified to operate at speeds up to 40MHz. This high-speed serial bus provides high performance serial communication to a host microcontroller. Many common microcontrollers have hardware SPI ports allowing a direct interface. It is quite simple to emulate the port using ordinary port pins for microcontrollers that do not. The FM25H20 operates in SPI Mode 0 and 3. The SPI interface uses a total of four pins: clock, data-in, data-out, and chip select. A typical system configuration uses one or more FM25H20 devices with a microcontroller that has a dedicated SPI port, as Figure 2 illustrates. Note that the clock, data-in, and data-out pins are common among all devices. The Chip Select and Hold pins must be driven separately for each FM25H20 device. For a microcontroller that has no dedicated SPI bus, a general purpose port may be used. To reduce hardware resources on the controller, it is possible to connect the two data pins together and tie off the Hold pin. Figure 3 shows a configuration that uses only three pins. Protocol Overview The SPI interface is a synchronous serial interface using clock and data pins. It is intended to support multiple devices on the bus. Each device is activated using a chip select. Once chip select is activated by the bus master, the FM25H20 will begin monitoring the clock and data lines. The relationship between the falling edge of /S, the clock and data is dictated by the SPI mode. The device will make a determination of the SPI mode on the falling edge of each chip select. While there are four such modes, the FM25H20 supports only modes 0 and 3. Figure 4 shows the required signal relationships for modes 0 and 3. For both modes, data is clocked into the FM25H20 on the rising edge of C and data is expected on the first rising edge after /S goes active. If the clock starts from a high state, it will fall prior to the first data transfer in order to create the first rising edge. The SPI protocol is controlled by op-codes. These op-codes specify the commands to the device. After /S is activated the first byte transferred from the bus master is the op-code. Following the op-code, any addresses and data are then transferred. Certain op-codes are commands with no subsequent data transfer. The /S must go inactive after an operation is complete and before a new op-code can be issued. There is one valid op-code only per active chip select.
