Additional memory for your next project!
FRAM 2 click carries the CY15B104Q 4-Mbit (512K x 8) serial F-RAM. A ferroelectric
random-access memory or F-RAM is non-volatile and performs reads and writes similar to a
SRAM. You can access the memory using an industry-standard serial peripheral interface (SPI)
bus.
On the functional level, the F-RAM operates in a similar way as serial flash and serial
EEPROMs. The major difference between the CY15B104Q and a serial flash or EEPROM with
the same pinout is the F-RAM's superior write performance, high endurance, and low power
consumption.
CY15B104Q FRAM features
Low power consumption, high endurance and 4-Mbit of non-volatile memory - these are some of
the many reasons you'll want to use this in your work.
The CY15B104Q is ideal for non-volatile memory applications, requiring frequent or rapid
writes. 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 or EEPROM can cause
data loss.
Unlike serial flash and EEPROM, the CY15B104Q performs write operations at bus speed. No
write delays are incurred. Data is written to the memory array immediately after each byte is
successfully transferred to the device.
The CY15B104Q is capable of supporting 10^14 read/write cycles, or 100 million times more
write cycles than EEPROM.
How the click works
When accessing the CY15B104Q, the user addresses 512K locations, each containing eight data
bits. These eight data bits are shifted in or out serially. The addresses are accessed using the SPI
protocol.
Cypress's CY15B104Q is an SPI slave device and operates at speeds up to 40 MHz. This high-
speed serial bus provides high-performance serial communication to an SPI master. SPI pins of
an IC are connected to SPI pins of mikroBUS™ so it can be driven by a microcontroller on one
of our various development systems - clicker and clicker 2 development boards, Flip&Click
boards, click shields, our famous EasyPIC v7 and more.
The HLD (HOLD_N) pin can be used to interrupt a serial operation without aborting it. The WP
(WP_N) pin ensures hardware write protect feature if the write protect enable bit in the Status
Register is set to ’1’. The SPI protocol includes a chip select (to permit multiple devices on the
bus), an opcode, and a three-byte address. There are nine opcodes, that can be issued by the bus
master to the CY15B104Q. These opcodes specify the commands from the bus master to the
slave device. After the CS (CS_N) is activated, the first byte transferred from the bus master is
the opcode. Following the opcode, any addresses and data are then transferred. The CS (CS_N)
must go inactive after an operation is complete and before a new opcode can be issued.
click boards are plug and play!
Up to now, MikroElektronika has released hundreds of click boards™. We are releasing new
ones every week. It is our intention to provide you with as many add-on boards as possible, so
you will be able to expand your development board with additional functionality.
Pull-up resistors are included on the FRAM 2 click and it's ready to be used immediately after
plugging into the mikroBUS™ socket on one of our development boards.
Ferroelectric RAM
Ferroelectric RAM, better known as FRAM is a random-access memory. It's famous for fast
access times and low power consumption. Also, since it's a non-volatile type of memory, data is
retained upon power down.
This type of memory is used in many industries today, but most commonly in small hand-held
devices, since it has low power consumption, like mobile phones, electronic meters, medical
applications, etc.
