Functional Overview
The FM16W08 is a 8 K × 8 nonvolatile memory that reads and
writes similar to a standard SRAM. 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 FM16W08 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. Minimum read and write cycle times
are equal. The F-RAM memory is nonvolatile due to its unique
ferroelectric memory process. These features make the
FM16W08 ideal for nonvolatile memory applications requiring
frequent or rapid writes.
The device is available in a 28-pin SOIC surface mount package.
Device specifications are guaranteed over the industrial
temperature range –40 °C to +85 °C.

0
Input/Output Data I/O Lines: 8-bit bidirectional data bus for accessing the F-RAM array.
WE Input Write Enable: A write cycle begins when WE is asserted. Asserting WE LOW causes the FM16W08 to
write the contents of the data bus to the address location latched by the falling edge of CE.
CE
Input Chip Enable: The device is selected when CE is LOW. Asserting CE LOW causes the address to be
latched internally. Address changes that occur after CE goes LOW will be ignored until the next falling
edge occurs.
OE
Input Output Enable: When OE is LOW, the FM16W08 drives the data bus when the valid read data is
available. Deasserting OE
HIGH tristates the DQ pins.
