AN97044 discusses the key differences that need to be considered when migrating from FM25V20 to FM25V20A.
FM25V20 is now “Not Recommended for New Designs”; this application note explains how FM25V20A is a drop-in
replacement for FM25V20.
1
Introduction
FM25V20A, a 2-Mbit Serial (SPI) F-RAM, is a drop-in replacement device for FM25V20, which is now “Not
recommended for new designs”. For all designs, the FM25V20A device can be considered as a superset of the
FM25V20. The two devices are identical in terms of pinout, package composition and dimensions, and read/write
functionality. This application note discusses the key differences between the two devices that need to be considered
when migrating from FM25V20 to FM25V20A.

Drop-In Replacement or Not?
From a hardware point of view, the two devices are identical. From a software point of view, they are identical except
for the Device ID. Thus, FM25V20A is a drop-in replacement part for the FM25V20.
Refer to the “Software Considerations” section for more details.
Table 1 shows the compatibility chart of FM25V20 and FM25V20A. For a detailed comparison of the devices, see

Software Considerations
This section discusses the Device ID difference between FM25V20 and FM25V20A. A system software update is
required if the existing application uses the Device ID feature of FM25V20.
5.1
Device ID
The FM25V20 and FM25V20A incorporate a 9-byte read-only Device ID to identify the product uniquely. The Device
ID allows the host to determine the manufacturer, product density, and product revision. Table 4 gives the Device IDs
of FM25V20 and FM25V20A, where the difference is highlighted in red.

Summary
AN97044 discussed the differences between FM25V20 and FM25V20A that need to be considered during migration
to the FM25V20A.
