The FM25CL64B performs write operations at bus
speed. No write delays are incurred. Data is written to
the memory array immediately after each byte has
been successfully transferred to the device. The next
bus cycle may commence immediately without the
need for data polling. In addition, the product offers
substantial write endurance compared with other
nonvolatile memories. The FM25CL64B is capable
of supporting 1014 read/write cycles, or 100 million
times more write cycles than EEPROM.

Description
Chip Select: This active low input activates the device. When high, the device enters
low-power standby mode, ignores other inputs, and all outputs are tri-stated. When
low, the device internally activates the SCK signal. A falling edge on /CS must occur
prior to every op-code.
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. Since the device is static, the
clock frequency may be any value between 0 and 20 MHz and may be interrupted at
any time.
Hold: 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.
Write Protect: This active low pin prevents write operations to the Status Register.
This is critical since other write protection features are controlled through the Status
Register. A complete explanation of write protection is provided on pages 6 & 7.
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.
* SI may be connected to SO for a single pin data interface.
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.
* SO may be connected to SI for a single pin data interface.

FM25CL64B - 64Kb 3V SPI F-RAM
Overview
The FM25CL64B is a serial F-RAM memory. The
memory array is logically organized as 8,192 x 8 and
is accessed using an industry standard Serial
Peripheral Interface or SPI bus. Functional operation
of the F-RAM is similar to serial EEPROMs. The
major difference between the FM25CL64B and a
serial EEPROM with the same pinout is the FRAM‟s superior write performance.
Memory Architecture
When accessing the FM25CL64B, the user addresses
8,192 locations of 8 data bits each. These data bits
are shifted serially. The addresses are accessed using
the SPI protocol, which includes a chip select (to
permit multiple devices on the bus), an op-code, and
a two-byte address. The upper 3 bits of the address
range are „don‟t care‟ values. The complete address
of 13-bits specifies each byte address uniquely.
Most functions of the FM25CL64B either are
controlled by the SPI interface or are handled
automatically by on-board circuitry. 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 SPI bus.
Unlike an EEPROM, it is not necessary to poll the
device for a ready condition since writes occur at bus
speed. So, by the time a new bus transaction can be
shifted into the device, a write operation will be
complete. This is explained in more detail in the
interface section.
Users expect several obvious system benefits from
the FM25CL64B due to its fast write cycle and high
endurance as compared with EEPROM. In addition
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: The FM25CL64B contains no power
management circuits other than a simple internal
power-on reset circuit. It is the user’s
responsibility to ensure that VDD is within
datasheet tolerances to prevent incorrect
operation. It is recommended that the part is not
powered down with chip enable active.
Serial Peripheral Interface – SPI Bus
The FM25CL64B employs a Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) bus. It is specified to operate at speeds
up to 20 MHz. This high-speed serial bus provides
Document Number: 001-84477 Rev. *B
high performance serial communication to a host
microcontroller. 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
FM25CL64B operates in SPI Mode 0 and 3.
The SPI interface uses a total of four pins: clock,
data-in, data-out, and chip select. A typical system
configuration uses one or more FM25CL64B devices
with a microcontroller that has a dedicated SPI port,
as Figure 2 illustrates. Note that the clock, data-in,
and data-out pins are common among all devices.
The Chip Select and Hold pins must be driven
separately for each FM25CL64B device.
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 pin. Figure 3 shows a
configuration that uses only three pins.
Protocol Overview
The SPI interface is a synchronous serial interface
using clock and data pins. It is intended to support
multiple devices on the bus. Each device is activated
using a chip select. Once chip select is activated by
the bus master, the FM25CL64B will begin
monitoring the clock and data lines. The relationship
between the falling edge of /CS, the clock and data is
dictated by the SPI mode. The device will make a
determination of the SPI mode on the falling edge of
each chip select. While there are four such modes, the
FM25CL64B supports Modes 0 and 3. Figure 4
shows the required signal relationships for Modes 0
and 3. For both modes, data is clocked into the
FM25CL64B on the rising edge of SCK and data is
expected on the first rising edge after /CS goes
active. If the clock begins from a high state, it will
fall prior to beginning data transfer in order to create
the first rising edge.
The SPI protocol is controlled by op-codes. These
op-codes specify the commands to the device. After
/CS is activated the first byte transferred from the bus
master is the op-code. Following the op-code, any
addresses and data are then transferred. Note that the
WREN and WRDI op-codes are commands with no
subsequent data transfer.
Important: The /CS pin must go inactive after an
operation is complete and before a new op-code
can be issued. There is one valid op-code only per
active chip select.

Data Transfer
All data transfers to and from the FM25CL64B occur
in 8-bit groups. They are synchronized to the clock
signal (SCK), and they transfer most significant bit
(MSB) first. Serial inputs are registered on the rising
edge of SCK. Outputs are driven from the falling
edge of SCK.
WREN - Set Write Enable Latch
The FM25CL64B will power up with writes disabled.
The WREN command must be issued prior to any
write operation. Sending the WREN op-code will
allow the user to issue subsequent op-codes for write
operations. These include writing the Status Register
(WRSR) and writing the memory (WRITE).
Command Structure
There are six commands called op-codes that can be
issued by the bus master to the FM25CL64B. They
are listed in the table below. These op-codes control
the functions performed by the memory. They can be
divided into three categories. First, there are
commands that have no subsequent operations. They
perform a single function such as to enable a write
operation. Second are commands followed by one
byte, either in or out. They operate on the Status
Register. The third group includes commands for
memory transactions followed by address and one or
more bytes of data.
Sending the WREN op-code 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
Register has no effect on the state of this bit – only
the WREN op-code can set this bit. The WEL bit will
be automatically cleared on the rising edge of /S
following a WRDI, a WRSR, or a WRITE operation.
This prevents further writes to the Status Register or
the F-RAM array without another WREN command.
Figure 5 below illustrates the WREN command bus
configuration.

WRDI - Write Disable
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=0. Figure 6
illustrates the WRDI command bus configuration.

FM25CL64B - 64Kb 3V SPI F-RAM
RDSR - Read Status Register
The RDSR command allows the bus master to verify
the contents of the Status Register. Reading Status
provides information about the current state of the
write protection features. Following the RDSR opcode, the FM25CL64B will return one byte with the
contents of the Status Register. The Status Register is
described in detail in a later section.
WRSR – Write Status Register
The WRSR command allows the user to select
certain write protection features by writing a byte to
the Status Register. Prior to issuing a WRSR
command, the /WP pin must be high or inactive. Note
that on the FM25CL64B, /WP only prevents writing
to the Status Register, not the memory array. Prior to
sending the WRSR command, the user must send a
WREN command to enable writes. Note that
executing a WRSR command is a write operation and
therefore clears the Write Enable Latch.
Figure 7. RDSR Bus Configuration
Figure 8. WRSR Bus Configuration (WREN not shown)
Status Register & Write Protection
The write protection features of the FM25CL64B are
multi-tiered. First, a WREN op-code must be issued
prior to any write operation. Assuming that writes are
enabled using WREN, writes to memory are
controlled by the Status Register. As described
above, writes to the Status Register are performed
using the WRSR command and subject to the /WP
pin. The Status Register is organized as follows.
never busy. The WPEN, BP1 and BP0 control write
protection features. They are nonvolatile (shaded
yellow). 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 writeprotected as shown in the following table.

The BP1 and BP0 bits and the Write Enable Latch
are the only mechanisms that protect the memory
from writes. The remaining write protection features
protect inadvertent changes to the block protect bits.
The WPEN bit controls the effect of the hardware
/WP pin. When WPEN is low, the /WP pin is
ignored. When WPEN is high, the /WP pin controls
write access to the Status Register. Thus the Status
Register is write protected if WPEN=1 and /WP=0.

Memory Operation
The SPI interface, which is capable of a relatively
high clock frequency, highlights the fast write
capability of the F-RAM technology. Unlike SPI-bus
EEPROMs, the FM25CL64B can perform sequential
writes at bus 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 op-code is WRITE. The WRITE op-code is
followed by a two-byte address value. The upper 3bits of the address are ignored. In total, the 13-bits
specify the address of the first data byte of the write
operation. This is the starting address of the first data
byte of the write operation. Subsequent bytes are data
bytes, which are written sequentially. Addresses are
incremented internally as long as the bus master
continues to issue clocks and keeps /CS low. If the
last address of 1FFFh is reached, the counter will roll
over to 0000h. Data is written MSB first. The rising
edge of /CS terminates a WRITE operation. A write
operation is shown in Figure 9.
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
Document Number: 001-84477 Rev. *B
This scheme provides a write protection mechanism,
which can prevent software from writing the memory
under any circumstances. This occurs if the BP1 and
BP0 are set to 1, the WPEN bit is set to 1, and /WP is
set to 0. This occurs because the block protect bits
prevent writing memory and the /WP signal in
hardware prevents altering the block protect bits (if
WPEN is high). Therefore in this condition, hardware
must be involved in allowing a write operation. The
following table summarizes the write protection
conditions.

(after the 8th clock). This allows any number of bytes
to be written without page buffer delays.
Read Operation
After the falling edge of /CS, the bus master can issue
a READ op-code. Following the READ command is
a two-byte address value. The upper 3-bits of the
address are ignored. In total, the 13-bits specify the
address of the first byte of the read operation. This is
the starting address of the first byte of the read
operation. After the op-code and address are issued,
the device drives out the read data on the next 8
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 1FFFh is
reached, the counter will roll over to 0000h. Data is
read MSB first. The rising edge of /CS terminates a
READ operation. A read operation is shown in
Figure 10.
Hold
The /HOLD pin can be used to interrupt a serial
operation without aborting it. If the bus master pulls
the /HOLD pin low while SCK is low, the current
operation 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 pin can toggle during a hold state.

Figure 10. Memory Read
Endurance
The FM25CL64B devices are capable of being
accessed at least 1014 times, reads or writes. An FRAM memory operates with a read and restore
mechanism. Therefore, an endurance cycle is applied
on a row basis for each access (read or write) to the
memory array. The F-RAM architecture is based on
an array of rows and columns. Rows are defined by
A12-A3 and column addresses by A2-A0. See Block
Diagram (pg 2) which shows the array as 1K rows of
64-bits each. The entire row is 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. The table below shows
endurance calculations for 64-byte repeating loop,
which includes an op-code, a starting address, and a
sequential 64-byte data stream. This causes each byte
to experience one endurance cycle through the loop.
F-RAM read and write endurance is virtually
unlimited even at 20MHz clock rate.

Appendix A - Errata for FM25CL64B
Errata Number
001
Date
March 10, 2011 (Updated Jan. 2012)
Product
FM25CL64B
Recent testing has uncovered a problem with the FM25CL64B at cold temperatures.
These parts meet the current datasheet specifications with the following exceptions:
1. All datasheet parameters are as specified provided the operating temperature is ≥ -15°C.
2. If -25°C minimum operating temperature is required, then you must comply with a minimum
VDD Fall Time (tVF) of 200µs/V.
There is a design change in process to improve the cold temperature performance. An update will be
issued when the design change has been verified.
UPDATE: Ramtron has implemented a cold test (-40C) such that all devices comply with the datasheet
specifications without exception over the full industrial temperature range -40C to +85C. Therefore the
above errata no longer applies. The starting date code for errata-free devices is 1148. (YY=11, WW=48)
