Product Overview
The FM25V10-G from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress/Ramtron) is a 1Mbit (128K x 8) F-RAM (Ferroelectric RAM) with SPI interface operating at up to 40MHz. It offers virtually unlimited endurance (10^14 read/write cycles), 151-year data retention, and 75ns access time. The 3.0-3.6V device comes in an 8-SOIC package with RoHS-compliant (Green) lead finish.
