Description
The FM24V10 is a 1-megabit nonvolatile memory
employing an advanced ferroelectric process. A
ferroelectric random access memory or F-RAM is
nonvolatile and performs reads and writes like a
RAM. It provides reliable data retention for 10 years
while eliminating the complexities, overhead, and
system level reliability problems caused by
EEPROM and other nonvolatile memories.
The FM24V10 performs write operations at bus
speed. No write delays are incurred. The next bus
cycle may commence immediately without the need
for data polling. In addition, the product offers write
endurance orders of magnitude higher than
EEPROM. Also, F-RAM exhibits much lower power
during writes than EEPROM since write operations
do not require an internally elevated power supply
voltage for write circuits.
These capabilities make the FM24V10 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 EEPROM can cause data loss. The
combination of features allows more frequent data
writing with less overhead for the system.
The FM24V10 provides substantial benefits to users
of serial EEPROM, yet these benefits are available in
a hardware drop-in replacement. The devices are
available in industry standard 8-pin SOIC package
using a familiar two-wire (I
2
C) protocol. The
FM24VN10 is offered with a unique serial number
that is read-only and can be used to identify a board
or system. Both devices incorporate a read-only
Device ID that allows the host to determine the
manufacturer, product density, and product revision.
The devices are guaranteed over an industrial
temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Overview
The FM24V10 is a family of serial F-RAM memory
devices. The memory array is logically organized as a
131,072 x 8 bit memory array and is accessed using
an industry standard two-wire (I
2
C) interface.
Functional operation of the F-RAM is similar to
serial EEPROM. The major difference between the
FM24V10 and serial EEPROM is F-RAM’s superior
write performance.
Memory Archit ectu re
When accessing the FM24V10, the user addresses
131,072 locations each with 8 data bits. These data
bits are shifted serially. The 131,072 addresses are
accessed using the two-wire protocol, which includes
a slave address (to distinguish other non-memory
devices), a page select bit, and a 2-byte address. The
17-bit address consists of a page select bit followed
by 16-bits. The complete address of 17 bits specifies
each byte address uniquely.
The access time for 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 two-wire bus. Unlike an EEPROM, it is not
necessary to poll the device for a ready condition
since writes occur at bus speed. That is, by the time a
new bus transaction can be shifted into the part, a
write operation will be complete. This is explained in
more detail in the interface section below.
Users expect several obvious system benefits from
the FM24V10 due to its fast write cycle and high
endurance as compared with EEPROM. However
there are less obvious benefits as well. For example
in a high noise environment, the fast-write operation
is less susceptible to corruption than an EEPROM
since it is completed quickly. By contrast, an
EEPROM requiring milliseconds to write is
vulnerable to noise during much of the cycle.
Note that it is the user’s responsibility to ensure that
V
DD
is within datasheet tolerances to prevent
incorrect operation.
Two-wire Interface
The FM24V10 employs a bi-directional two-wire bus
protocol using few pins or board space. Figure 2
illustrates a typical system configuration using the
FM24V10 in a microcontroller-based system. The
industry standard two-wire bus is familiar to many
users but is described in this section.
By convention, any device that is sending data onto
the bus is the transmitter while the target device for
this data is the receiver. The device that is controlling
the bus is the master. The master is responsible for
generating the clock signal for all operations. Any
device on the bus that is being controlled is a slave.
The FM24V10 always is a slave device.
The bus protocol is controlled by transition states in
the SDA and SCL signals. There are four conditions
including start, stop, data bit, or acknowledge. Figure
3 illustrates the signal conditions that specify the four
states. Detailed timing diagrams are shown in the
electrical specifications section.

Figure 3. Data Transfer Protocol
Stop Conditio n
A stop condition is indicated when the bus master
drives SDA from low to high while the SCL signal is
high. All operations using the FM24V10 should end
with a stop condition. If an operation is in progress
when a stop is asserted, the operation will be aborted.
The master must have control of SDA (not a memory
read) in order to assert a stop condition.
Start Co ndit ion
A start condition is indicated when the bus master
drives SDA from high to low while the SCL signal is
high. All commands should be preceded by a start
condition. An operation in progress can be aborted by
asserting a start condition at any time. Aborting an
operation using the start condition will ready the
FM24V10 for a new operation.
If during operation the power supply drops below the
specified V
DD
minimum, the system should issue a
start condition prior to performing another operation.
Data/Addr ess Tra nsfer
All data transfers (including addresses) take place
while the SCL signal is high. Except under the two
conditions described above, the SDA signal should
not change while SCL is high.
Acknowledge
The acknowledge takes place after the 8
th
data bit has
been transferred in any transaction. During this state
the transmitter should release the SDA bus to allow
the receiver to drive it. The receiver drives the SDA
signal low to acknowledge receipt of the byte. If the
receiver does not drive SDA low, the condition is a
no-acknowledge and the operation is aborted.
The receiver would fail to acknowledge for two
distinct reasons. First is that a byte transfer fails. In
this case, the no-acknowledge ceases the current
operation so that the part can be addressed again.
This allows the last byte to be recovered in the event
of a communication error.
Second and most common, the receiver does not
acknowledge to deliberately end an operation. For
example, during a read operation, the FM24V10 will
continue to place data onto the bus as long as the
receiver sends acknowledges (and clocks). When a
read operation is complete and no more data is
needed, the receiver must not acknowledge the last
byte. If the receiver acknowledges the last byte, this
will cause the FM24V10 to attempt to drive the bus
on the next clock while the master is sending a new
command such as stop.
Slave Address
The first byte that the FM24V10 expects after a start
condition is the slave address. As shown in Figure 4,
the slave address contains the device type or slave
ID, the device select address bits, a page select bit,
and a bit that specifies if the transaction is a read or a
write.
Bits 7-4 are the device type (slave ID) and should be
set to 1010b for the FM24V10. These bits allow other
function types to reside on the 2-wire bus within an
identical address range. Bits 3 and 2 are the device
select address bits. They must match the
corresponding value on the external address pins to
select the device. Up to four FM24V10 devices can
reside on the same two-wire bus by assigning a
different address to each. Bit 1 is the page select bit
and is effectively the address MSB, A16. It specifies
the 64K-byte block of memory that is targeted for the
current operation. Bit 0 is the read/write bit. R/W=1
indicates a read operation and R/W=0 indicates a
write operation.
High Speed Mode (HS-mode)
The FM24V10 supports a 3.4MHz high speed mode.
A master code (0000 1
XXX
b) must be issued to place
the device into high speed mode. Communication
between master and slave will then be enabled for
speeds up to 3.4MHz. A stop condition will exit HS-
mode. Single- and multiple-byte reads and writes are
supported. See Figures 10 and 11 for HS-mode
timings.

Figure 4. Slave Address
Addressing Overview
After the FM24V10 (as receiver) acknowledges the
slave address, the master can place the memory
address on the bus for a write operation. The address
requires a 1-bit page select and two bytes. Since the
device uses 17 address bits, the page select bit is the
MSB of the address followed by the remaining 16
address bits. The complete 17-bit address is latched
internally. Each access causes the latched address
value to be incremented automatically. The current
address is the value that is held in the latch -- either a
newly written value or the address following the last
access. The current address will be held for as long as
power remains or until a new value is written. Reads
always use the current address. A random read
address can be loaded by beginning a write operation
as explained below.
After transmission of each data byte, just prior to the
acknowledge, the FM24V10 increments the internal
address latch. This allows the next sequential byte to
be accessed with no additional addressing. After the
last address (1FFFFh) is reached, the address latch
will roll over to 0000h. There is no limit to the
number of bytes that can be accessed with a single
read or write operation.
Data Transfer
After the address information has been transmitted,
data transfer between the bus master and the
FM24V10 can begin. For a read operation the
FM24V10 will place 8 data bits on the bus then wait
for an acknowledge from the master. If the
acknowledge occurs, the FM24V10 will transfer the
next sequential byte. If the acknowledge is not sent,
the FM24V10 will end the read operation. For a write
operation, the FM24V10 will accept 8 data bits from
the master then send an acknowledge. All data
transfer occurs MSB (most significant bit) first.
Memory Operation
The FM24V10 is designed to operate in a manner
very similar to other 2-wire interface memory
products. The major differences result from the
higher performance write capability of F-RAM
technology. These improvements result in some
differences between the FM24V10 and a similar
configuration EEPROM during writes. The complete
operation for both writes and reads is explained
below.
Write Operation
All writes begin with a slave address, then a memory
address. The bus master indicates a write operation
by setting the LSB of the slave address (R/W bit) to a
‘0’. After addressing, the bus master sends each byte
of data to the memory and the memory generates an
acknowledge condition. Any number of sequential
bytes may be written. If the end of the address range
is reached internally, the address counter will wrap
from 1FFFFh to 0000h.
Unlike other nonvolatile memory technologies, there
is no effective write delay with F-RAM. Since the
read and write access times of the underlying
memory are the same, the user experiences no delay
through the bus. The entire memory cycle occurs in
less time than a single bus clock. Therefore, any
operation including read or write can occur
immediately following a write. Acknowledge polling,
a technique used with EEPROMs to determine if a
write is complete is unnecessary and will always
return a ready condition.
Internally, an actual memory write occurs after the 8
th
data bit is transferred. It will be complete before the
acknowledge is sent. Therefore, if the user desires to
abort a write without altering the memory contents,
this should be done using start or stop condition prior
to the 8
th
data bit. The FM24V10 uses no page
buffering.
The memory array can be write-protected using the
WP pin. This feature is available only on FM24V10
and FM24VN10 devices. Setting the WP pin to a
high condition (V
DD
) will write-protect all addresses.
The FM24V10 will not acknowledge data bytes that
are written to protected addresses. In addition, the
address counter will not increment if writes are
attempted to these addresses. Setting WP to a low
state (V
SS
) will deactivate this feature. WP is pulled
down internally.
Figures 5 and 6 below illustrate a single-byte and
multiple-byte write cycles.

Read Operation
There are two basic types of read operations. They
are current address read and selective address read. In
a current address read, the FM24V10 uses the
internal address latch to supply the address. In a
selective read, the user performs a procedure to set
the address to a specific value.
Current Address & Sequential Read
As mentioned above the FM24V10 uses an internal
latch to supply the address for a read operation. A
current address read uses the existing value in the
address latch as a starting place for the read
operation. The system reads from the address
immediately following that of the last operation.
To perform a current address read, the bus master
supplies a slave address with the LSB set to a ‘1’.
This indicates that a read operation is requested.
After receiving the complete slave address, the
FM24V10 will begin shifting out data from the
current address on the next clock. The current address
is the value held in the internal address latch.
Beginning with the current address, the bus master
can read any number of bytes. Thus, a sequential read
is simply a current address read with multiple byte
transfers. After each byte the internal address counter
will be incremented.
Each time the bus master acknowledges a byte,
this indicates that the FM24V10 should read out
the next seque ntial byte.
There are four ways to properly terminate a read
operation. Failing to properly terminate the read will
most likely create a bus contention as the FM24V10
attempts to read out additional data onto the bus. The
four valid methods are:
1. The bus master issues a no-acknowledge in the
9
th
clock cycle and a stop in the 10
th
clock cycle.
This is illustrated in the diagrams below. This is
preferred.
2. The bus master issues a no-acknowledge in the
9
th
clock cycle and a start in the 10
th
.
3. The bus master issues a stop in the 9
th
clock
cycle.
4. The bus master issues a start in the 9
th
clock
cycle.
If the internal address reaches 1FFFFh, it will wrap
around to 0000h on the next read cycle. Figures 7 and
8 below show the proper operation for current
address reads.
Selective (Random) Read
There is a simple technique that allows a user to
select a random address location as the starting point
for a read operation. This involves using the first
three bytes of a write operation to set the internal
address followed by subsequent read operations.
To perform a selective read, the bus master sends out
the slave address with the LSB set to 0. This specifies
a write operation. According to the write protocol,
the bus master then sends the address bytes that are
loaded into the internal address latch. After the
FM24V10 acknowledges the address, the bus master
FM 24V10 - 1Mb I2C FR AM
Rev. 1.1
Feb. 2009 Page 7 of 15
issues a start condition. This simultaneously aborts
the write operation and allows the read command to
be issued with the slave address LSB set to a ‘1’. The
operation is now a current address read.

Sleep Mo de
A low power mode called Sleep Mode is
implemented on both FM24V10 and FM24VN10
devices. The device will enter this low power state
when the Sleep command 0x86 is clocked-in. Sleep
Mode entry can be entered as follows:
1. The master sends a START command.
2. The master sends Reserved Slave ID 0xF8
3. The master sends the I
2
C-bus slave address of
the slave device it needs to identify. The last
two bits are ‘Don’t care’ values (Page Select
and R/W bits). Only one device must
acknowledge this byte (the one that has the
I
2
C-bus slave address).
4. The master sends a Re-START command.
5. The master sends Reserved Slave ID 0x86
6. The FM24V10 sends an ACK.
7. The master sends STOP to ensure the device
enters sleep mode.
Once in sleep mode, the device draws I
ZZ
current, but
the device continues to monitor the I
2
C pins. Once
the master sends a Slave Address that the FM24V10
identifies, it will “wakeup” and be ready for normal
operation within t
REC
(400 µs max.). As an alternative
method of determining when the device is ready, the
master can send read or write commands and look for
an ACK. While the device is waking up, it will
NACK the master until it is ready.

Device ID
The FM24V10 and FM24VN10 devices incorporate a
means of identifying the device by providing three
bytes of data, which are manufacturer, product ID,
and die revision. The Device ID is read-only. It can
be accessed as follows:
1. The master sends a START command.
2. The master sends Reserved Slave ID 0xF8
3. The master sends the I
2
C-bus slave address
of the slave device it needs to identify. The
last two bits are ‘Don’t care’ values (Page
Select and R/W bits). Only one device must
acknowledge this byte (the one that has the
I
2
C-bus slave address).
4. The master sends a Re-START command.
5. The master sends Reserved Slave ID 0xF9
6. The Device ID Read can be done, starting
with the 12 manufacturer bits, followed by
the 9 part identification bits, and then the 3
die revision bits.
7. The master ends the Device ID read
sequence by NACKing the last byte, thus
resetting the slave device state machine and
allowing the master to send the STOP
command.
Note: The reading of the Device ID can be stopped
anytime by sending a NACK command.

Unique Serial Number (FM24VN10 only)
The FM24VN10 device also incorporates a read-only
8-byte serial number. It can be used to uniquely
identify a pc board or system. The serial number
includes a 40-bit unique number, an 8-bit CRC, and a
16-bit number that can be defined upon request by
the customer. If a customer-specific number is not
requested, the 16-bit Customer Identifier is 0x0000.
The 8 bytes of data are accessed via a Slave Address
sequence similar to the Device ID. The serial number
can be read by the system as follows:
1. The master sends a START command
2. The master sends Reserved Slave ID 0xF8
3. The master sends the I
2
C-bus slave address of
the slave device it needs to identify. The last
two bits are ‘Don’t care’ values. Only one
device must acknowledge this byte (the one
that has the I
2
C-bus slave address).
4. The master sends a Re-START command
5. The master sends Reserved Slave ID 0xCD to
read the serial number.
6. The master ends the serial number read
sequence by NACKing the last byte, thus
resetting the slave device state machine and
allowing the master to send the STOP
command.
The 8-bit CRC value can be used to compare to the
value calculated by the controller. If the two values
match, then the communication between slave and
master was performed without errors.
