Memory IC datasheet and documents for FM25C160B-GA1

FM25C160B-GA1

Memory IC Overview

The FM25C160B-GA1 is a 16-kilobit (2K x 8 bits) nonvolatile ferroelectric random access memory (F-RAM) manufactured by Ramtron International Corporation. It operates on a single 5V supply with a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and utilizes a high-speed Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) supporting up to 20 MHz bus frequency in SPI Modes 0 and 3. The device features an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package. It offers 1 trillion read/write endurance, 38-year data retention, and NoDelay writes.

Memory IC Feature Summary

Eliminates write latency associated with serial flash and EEPROM through direct byte-level writing capabilities
Provides hardware protection via the WP pin and software protection through block or array locking commands
Functions as a direct hardware replacement for legacy EEPROMs without requiring code modifications

Memory IC Applications

Automotive electronics requiring AEC-Q100 qualification
Industrial systems needing high endurance data logging
Embedded controllers storing calibration parameters

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'GA1' against official Infineon/Cypress documentation, as standard listings typically reference 'G' or 'GTR'. Confirm that the automotive grade designation aligns with your system's thermal requirements. Ensure the manufacturer source is recognized as Infineon Technologies following the acquisition of Cypress Semiconductor.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when replacing EEPROMs in 5V logic environments requiring high write durability. It is suitable for applications demanding immediate data persistence without write cycles delays. Consider the wide industrial temperature range for harsh environment deployments where standard commercial parts may fail.

Memory IC Part Context

Ramtron International was acquired by Cypress Semiconductor in 2012, which was subsequently acquired by Infineon Technologies. The FM25C160B series represents the company's core ferroelectric memory technology, designed to overcome the wear-out mechanisms of floating gate technologies found in traditional nonvolatile memories.
