Ramtron International Corporation, a developer and supplier of nonvolatile ferroelectric random access memory (F-RAM) and integrated semiconductor products, has launched two more devices in a family of new parallel and serial F-RAM products.

The newest devices are the 512-Kilobit (Kb) FM24V05, and the 1-Megabit (Mb) FM24V10. The new products are 2- to 3.6-volt, serial nonvolatile RAMs in 8-pin SOIC packages that use the two-wire (I2C) protocol. The FM24V05 and FM24V10 feature fast access, NoDelay writes, virtually unlimited read/write cycles, and low power consumption, according to the company. The devices are drop-in replacement for 512Kb and 1Mb serial Flash and serial EEPROM memories in industrial controls, metering, medical, military, gaming, and computing applications.

The FM24V05 is suited to nonvolatile memory applications that require frequent or rapid writes, such as data collection, where the number of write cycles may be critical. Demanding industrial controls can benefit from the FM24V05 where the long write time of EEPROM can cause data loss. All serial F-RAM V-Family products can be equipped with optional device features including unique serial numbering and a customizable system reset.

Other devices within the Ramtron V-Family of F-RAM products include the recently announced FM25V05 (512Kb) and FM25V10 (1Mb) serial SPI products, and the FM28V100 (1Mb) parallel nonvolatile RAM.
