Functional Overview
The FM25V02 is a 256-Kbit nonvolatile memory employing an
advanced ferroelectric process. A ferroelectric random access
memory or F-RAM is nonvolatile and performs reads and writes
similar to a RAM. It provides reliable data retention for 151 years
while eliminating the complexities, overhead, and system-level
reliability problems caused by seri al flash, EEPROM, and othe r
nonvolatile memories.
Unlike serial flash and EEPROM, the FM25V02 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 next bus cycle can
commence without the need for data polling. In addition, the
product offers substantial write endura nce compared with other
nonvolatile memories. The FM25V02 is capable of supporting
1014 read/write cycles, or 100 million times more write cycles
than EEPROM.
These capabilities make the FM25V02 ideal for nonvolatile
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.
The FM25V02 provides substantial benefits to users of serial
EEPROM or flash as a hardware drop-in replacement. The
FM25V02 uses the high-speed SPI bus, which enhances the
high-speed write capability of F-RAM technology. The device
incorporates a read-only Device ID that allows the host to
determine the manufacturer, product density, and product
revision. The device specifications are guaranteed over an
industrial temperature range of –40 C to +85 C.

Pin Name I/O Type Description
CS Input Chip Select. This active LOW input activates the device. When HIGH, the device enters low-power
standby mode, ignores other inputs, and the output is tristated. When LOW, the device internally
activates the SCK signal. A falling edge on CS must occur before every opcode.
SCK Input Serial Clock. All I/O activity is synchronized to the serial clock. Inputs are latched on the rising edge
and outputs occur on the falling edge. Because th e device is synchronous, th e cl ock freq uency may
be any value between 0 and 40 MHz and may be interrupted at any time.
SI [1] Input Serial Input. All data is input to the device on this pin. The pin is sampled on the rising edge of SCK
and is ignored at other times. It should always be driven to a valid logic level to meet IDD specifications.
SO [1] Output Serial Output. This is the data output pin. It is driven during a read and remains tristated at all other
times including when HOLD is LOW. Data transitions are driven on the falling edge of the serial clock.
WP Input Write Protect. This Active LOW pin prevents write operation to the Status Register when WPEN is
set to ‘1’. This is critical because other write protection features are controlled through the Status
Register. A complete explanation of write protection is provided in Status Register and Write Protection
on page 7. This pin must be tied to VDD if not use d .
HOLD Input HOLD Pin. The HOLD pin is used when the host CPU must interrupt a memory operation for another
task. When HOLD is LOW, the current operation is suspended. The device ignores any transition on
SCK or CS. All transitions on HOLD must occur while SCK is LOW. This pin has a weak internal pull-up
(Refer DC Electrical Characteristics table for RIN spec). However, if it is not used, the HOLD pin should
be tied to VDD.

Document Number: 001-84494 Rev. *D Page 4 of 23
Overview
The FM25V02 is a serial F-RAM memory. The memory array is
logically organize d a s 32,76 8 × 8 bits and is accessed using an
industry-standard serial peripheral interface (SPI) bus. The
functional operation of the F-RAM is similar to serial flash and
serial EEPROMs. The major difference between the FM25V02
and a serial flash or EEPROM with the same pinout is the
F-RAM's superior write performance, high endurance, and low
power consumption.
Memory Architecture
When accessing the FM25V02, the user addresses 32K
locations of eight data bits each. These eight data bits are shifted
in or out serially. The addresses are accessed using the SPI
protocol, which includes a chip select (to permit multiple devices
on the bus), an opcode, and a two-byte add ress. The upper bit
of the address range is a 'don't care' value. The complete
address of 15 bits specifies each byte address uniquely.
Most functions of the FM25V02 are either controlled by the SPI
interface or handled by on-board circuitry. The access time for
the memory operation is essentially zero, beyond the time
needed for the serial protocol. That is, the memory is read or
written at the speed of the SPI bus. Unlike a serial flash or
EEPROM, it is not necessary to poll the device for a ready
condition beca us e wr it es oc cur at b us sp eed . B y the time a n ew
bus transaction can be shifted into the device , a write operation
is complete. This is explained in more detail in the interface
section.
Serial Peripheral Interface – SPI Bus
The FM25V02 is a SPI slave device and operates at spe eds up
to 40 MHz. This high-speed serial bus provides
high-performance serial communication to a SPI master. Many
common microcontrollers have hardware SPI ports allowing a
direct interface. It is quite simple to emulate the port using
ordinary port pins for microcontrollers that do not. The FM25V02
operates in SPI Mode 0 and 3.
SPI Overview
The SPI is a four-pin interface with Chip Select (CS), Serial Input
(SI), Serial Output (SO), and Serial Clock (SCK) pins.
The SPI is a synchronous serial interface, which uses clock and
data pins for memory access and su pports multiple devices on
the data bus. A device on the SPI bus is activated using the CS
pin.
The relationship between chip select, clock, and data is dictated
by the SPI mode. This device supports SPI modes 0 and 3. In
both of these modes, data is clocked into the F-RAM on the rising
edge of SCK starting from the first rising edge after CS goes
active.
The SPI protocol is controlled by opcodes. These opcodes
specify the commands from the bus master to the slave devi ce.
After CS 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 must go inactive after an
operation is comple te and befo re a new opcod e can be issue d.
The commonly used terms in the SPI protocol are as follows:
SPI Master
The SPI master device controls the operations on a SPI bus. An
SPI bus may have only one master with one or more slave
devices. All the slaves share the same SPI bus lines and the
master may select any of the slave devices using the CS pin. All
of the operations must be initiated by the master activating a
slave device by pulling the CS pin of the slave LOW . The master
also generates the SCK and all the data transmission on SI and
SO lines are synchronized with this clock.
SPI Slave
The SPI slave device is activated by the master through the Chip
Select line. A slave device gets the SCK as an input from the SPI
master and all the communication is synchronized with this
clock. An SPI slave never initiates a communication on the SPI
bus and acts only on the instruction from the master.
The FM25V02 operates as an SPI slave and may share the SPI
bus with other SPI slave devices.
Chip Select (CS)
To select any slave device, the master needs to pull down the
corresponding CS pin. Any instruction can be issued to a slave
device only while the CS pin is LOW. When the device is not
selected, data through the SI pin is ignored and the serial output
pin (SO) remains in a high-impedan ce state.
Note A new instruction must begin with the falling edge of CS.
Therefore, only one opcode can be issued fo r each active Chip
Select cycle.
Serial Clock (SCK)
The Serial Clock is generated by the SPI master and the
communication is synchronized with this clock after CS goes
LOW.
The FM25V02 enables SPI modes 0 and 3 for data
communication. In both of these modes, the inputs are latched
by the slave device on the rising edge of SCK and ou tputs are
issued on the falling edge. Therefore, the first rising edge of SCK
signifies the arrival of the first bit (MSB) of a SPI instruction on
the SI pin. Further, all data inputs and outputs are synchronized
with SCK.
Data Transmission (SI/SO)
The SPI data bus consists of two lines, SI and SO, for serial dat a
communication. SI is also referred to as Master Out Slave In
(MOSI) and SO is referred to as Master In Slave Out (MISO). The
master issues instructions to the slave through the SI pin, while
the slave responds through the SO pin. Multiple slave devices
may share the SI and SO line s as de scri b ed ea rl i er.
FM25V02
Document Number: 001-84494 Rev. *D Page 5 of 23
The FM25V02 has two separate pins for SI and SO, which can
be connected with the master as shown in Figure 3.
For a microcontroller that has no dedicated SPI bus, a
general-purpose port may be used. To reduce hardware
resources on the controller , it is possible to connect the two data
pins (SI, SO) together and tie off (HIGH) the HOLD and WP pins.
Figure 4 shows such a configuration, which uses only three pins.
Most Significant Bit (MSB)
The SPI protocol requires that the first bit to be transmitted is the
Most Significant Bit (MSB). This is valid for both address and
data tran s missi on .
The 256-Kbit serial F-RAM requires a 2-byte address for any
read or write operation. Because the address is only 15 bits, the
upper bit which is fed in is ignored by the device. Althoug h this
bit is ‘don’t care’, Cypress recommends that this bit be set to ‘0’
to enable seamless transition to higher memory de nsities.
Serial Opcode
After the slave device is selected with CS going LOW, the first
byte received is treated as the opcode for the intended operation.
FM25V02 uses the standard opcodes for memory accesses.
Invalid Opcode
If an invalid opcode i s received, the opcode is ignored and the
device ignores any additio nal serial data on the SI pin until the
next falling edge of CS, and the SO pin remains tristated.
Status Register
FM25V02 has an 8-bit Status Register. The bits in the Status
Register are used to configure the device. These bits are
described in Table 3 on page 7 .
SPI Modes
FM25V02 may be driven by a microcontroller with its SPI
peripheral running in either of the following two modes:
■SPI Mode 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0)
■SPI Mode 3 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1)
For both these modes, the i nput data is latched in on the rising
edge of SCK starting from the first rising edge after CS goes
active. If the clock starts from a HIGH state (in mode 3), the first
rising edge after the clock toggles is considered. The output data
is available on the falling edge of SCK.

The two SPI modes are shown in Figure 5 on page 6 and Figure
6 on page 6. The status of the clock when the bus master is not
transferring data is:
■SCK remains at 0 for Mode 0
■SCK remains at 1 for Mode 3
The device detects the SPI mode from the status of the SCK pin
when the device is selected by bringi ng the CS pin LOW. If the
SCK pin is LOW when the device is selected, SPI Mode 0 is
assumed and if the SCK pin is HIGH, it works in SPI Mode 3.
Power Up to First Access
The FM25V02 is not accessible for a tPU time after power-up.
Users must comply with the timing parameter, tPU, which is the
minimum time from VDD (min) to the first CS LOW.
Command Structure
There are nine commands, called opco des, that can be issued
by the bus master to the FM25V02. They are listed in Table 1.
These opcodes control the functions performed by the memory.
WREN - Set Write Enable Latch
The FM25V02 will power up with writes disabled. The WREN
command must be issued before any write operation. Sending
the WREN opcode allows the user to issue subsequent opcodes
for write operations. These include writing the Status Register
(WRSR) and writing the memory (WRITE).
Sending the WREN opcode causes the internal Write Enable
Latch to be set. A flag bit in the Status Register, called WEL,
indicates the state of the latch. WEL = ’1’ indicates that writes are
permitted. Attempting to write the WEL bit in the Status R egist er
has no effect on the state of this bit – only the WREN opcode can
set this bit. The WEL bit will be automatically cleared on the rising
edge of CS following a W RDI, a WRSR, or a WRIT E opera tion.
This preve nt s f ur ther wr it es to the Status Register or the F-RAM
array without another WREN command. Figure 7 illustrates the
WREN command bus configuration.
WRDI - Reset Write Enable Latch
The WRDI command disables all write activity by clearing the
Write Enable Latch. The user can verify that writes are disabled
by reading the WEL bit in the Status Register and verifying that
WEL is equal to ‘0’. Figure 8 illustrates the WRDI command bus
configuration.

Status Register and Write Protection
The write protection features of the FM25V02 are multi-tiered
and are enabled through the status register. The S t atus Register
is organized as follows. (The default value shipped from the
factory for bits in the Status Register is ‘0’).
Bits 0 and 4-6 are fixed at ‘0’; none of these bits can be modified.
Note that bit 0 (“Ready or Write in progress” bit in serial flash and
EEPROM) is unnecessary, as the F-RAM writes in real-time and
is never busy , so it reads out as a ‘0’. An exception to this is when
the device is waking up from sleep mode, which is descri bed in
Sleep Mode on page 11. The BP1 and BP0 control the software
write-protecti on features and are non volatile bits. The WEL flag
indicates the state of the Write Enable Latch. Attempting to
directly write the WEL bit in the Status Register has no effect on
its state. This bit is internally set and cleared via the WREN and
WRDI commands, respectively.
BP1 and BP0 are memory block write protection bits. They
specify portions of memory that are write-protected as shown in
Table 4.
The BP1 and BP0 bits and the Write Enable L atch are the onl y
mechanisms that protect the memory from writes. The remaining
write protection features protect inadvertent changes to the block
protect bits.
The write protect enable bit (WPEN) in the Status Register
controls the effect of the hardware write protect (WP) pin. When
the WPEN bit is set to '0', the status of the WP pin is ignored.
When the WPEN bit is set to '1', a LOW on the WP pin inhibits a
write to the Status Register. Thus the Status Register is
write-protected only when WPEN = '1' and WP = '0 '.
Table 5 summarizes the write protection conditions.

RDSR - Read Status Register
The RDSR command allows the bus master to verify the
contents of the Status Register. Reading the status register
provides information about the current state of the
write-protection features. Following the RDSR opcode, the
FM25V02 will return one byte with the contents of the Status
Register.
WRSR - Write Status Register
The WRSR command allows the SPI bus master to write into the
Status Register and change the write protect configuration by
setting the WPEN, BP0 and BP1 bits as required. Before issuing
a WRSR command, the WP pin must be HIGH or inactive. Note
that on the FM25V02, WP only prevents writing to the Status
Register, not the memory array. Before sending the WRSR
command, the user must send a WREN command to enable
writes. Executing a WRSR command is a write operation and
therefore, clears the Write Enable Latch.
Memory Operation
The SPI interface, which is capable of a high clock frequency,
highlights the fast write capability of the F-RAM technology.
Unlike serial flash and EEPROMs, the FM25V02 can perform
sequential writes at b us speed. No page register is needed and
any number of sequential writes may be performed.
Write Operation
All writes to the memory begin with a WREN opcode with CS
being asserted and deasserted. The next opcode is WRITE. The
WRITE opcode is followed by a two-byte address containing the
15-bit address (A14-A0) of the first data byte to be written into
the memory. The upper bit of the two-byte address is ignored.
Subsequent bytes are data bytes, which are written sequentially .
Addresses are incremented internally as long as the bus master
continues to issue clocks and keep s CS LOW . If the last address
of 7FFFh is reached, the coun ter will roll over to 000 0h. Data is
written MSB first. The rising edge of CS terminates a write
operation. A write operati on is shown in Figure 11.
Note When a burst write reaches a protected block address, the
automatic address increment stops and all the subsequent data
bytes received fo r write will be ignored by the device.
EEPROMs use page buffers to increase their write throughput.
This compensates for the technology's inherently slow write
operations. F-RAM memories do not have page buffers because
each byte is written to the F-RAM array immediately after it is
clocked in (after the eighth clock). This allows any number of
bytes to be written without page buffer delays.
Note If the power is lost in the middle of the write operation, only
the last completed byte will be written.

Read Operation
After the falling edge of CS, the bus master can issue a READ
opcode. Following the READ command is a two-byte address
containing the 15-bit address (A14-A0) of the first byte of the
read operation. The upper bit of the address is ignored. After the
opcode and address are issued, the device drives out th e read
data on the next eight clocks. The SI input is ignored during read
data bytes. Subsequent bytes are data bytes, which are read out
sequentially. Addresses are incremented internally as long as
the bus master continues to issue clocks and CS is LOW. If the
last address of 7FFFh is reached, the counter will roll over to
0000h. Data is read MSB first. The rising edge of CS terminates
a read operation and tristates the SO pin. A read operation is
shown in Figure 12.
Fast Read Operation
The FM25V02 supports a FAST READ opcode (0Bh) that is
provided for code compatibility with serial flash devices. The
FAST READ opcode is followed by a two-byte address
containing the 15-bit address (A14-A0) of the first byte of the
read operation and then a dummy byte. The dummy byte inserts
a read latency of 8-clock cycle. The fast read operation is
otherwise the same as an ordinary read operation excep t that it
requires an additional dummy byte. After receiving opcode,
address, and a dummy byte, the FM25V02 starts driving its SO
line with data bytes, with MSB first, and continues transmitting
as long as the device is selected and the clock is available. In
case of bulk read, the internal address counter is incremented
automatically, and after the last address 7FFF h is reached, the
counter rolls over to 0000h. When the device is drivi ng data on
its SO line, any transition on its SI line is ignored. The rising edge
of CS terminates a fast read operation and tristates the SO pin.
A Fast Read operation is shown in Figure 13.

HOLD Pin Operation
The HOLD pin can be used to interrupt a serial operation without
aborting it. If the bus master pulls the HOLD pin LOW wh ile SCK
is LOW, the current operati on will pause. Taking the HOLD pin
HIGH while SCK is LOW will resume an operation. The
transitions of HOLD must occur while SCK is LOW , but the SCK
and CS pin can toggle duri ng a hold state.

Sleep Mode
A low-power sleep mode is implemented on the FM25V02
device. The device will enter the low-power state when the
SLEEP opcode B9h is clocked in and a rising edge of CS is
applied. When in sleep mode, the SCK and SI pins are ignored
and SO will be HI-Z, but the device continues to monitor the CS
pin. On the next falling edge of CS, the device will return to
normal operation within tREC time. The SO pin remains in a HI-Z
state during the wakeup period. The device does not necessarily
respond to an opcode within the wakeup period. To start the
wakeup procedure, the controller may send a “dummy” read, for
example, and wait the remaining tREC time.
Device ID
The FM25V02 device can be interrogated for its manufacturer,
product identification, and die revision. The RDID opcode 9Fh
allows the user to read the manufacturer ID and product ID, both
of which are read-only bytes. The JEDEC-assigned
manufacturer ID places the Cypress (Ramtron) identifier in bank
7; therefore, there are six bytes of the continuation code 7Fh
followed by the si ngle byte C2h. The re are tw o byte s of product
ID, which includes a family code, a density code, a sub code, and
the product revi si o n co de .

Endurance
The FM25V02 devices are capable of being accessed at least
1014 times, reads or writes. An F-RAM memory operates with a
read and restore mechan ism. Therefor e, an endurance cycl e is
applied on a row basis for each access (read or write) to the
memory array. The F-RAM architecture is b ased on a n array of
rows and columns of 4K ro ws of 64-bits each. The entire row i s
internally accessed once, whether a single byte or all eight bytes
are read or written. Each byte in the row is counted only once in
an endurance calculation. Table 7 shows endurance calculations
for a 64-byte repeating loop, which includes an opcode, a starting
address, and a sequential 64-byte data stream. This causes
each byte to experience one enduran ce cycl e through th e loop.
F-RAM read and write endurance is virtually unlimited even at a
40-MHz clock rate.
