This active LOW input activates the device. When HIGH, the device enters low-power standby mode, ignores other inputs, and tristates the output. 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 the device is synchronous, the clock frequency may be any value between 0 and 20 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 used. 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 must be tied to VDD if not used. VSS Power supply Ground for the device. Must be connected to the ground of the system. VDD Power supply Power supply input to the device. Note 1. SI may be connected to SO for a single pin data interface.

The memory array is logically organized as 32,768 × 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 FM25W256 and a serial flash or EEPROM with the same pinout is the F-RAM's superior write performance, high endurance, and low power consumption. The SPI protocol is controlled by opcodes. These opcodes specify the commands from the bus master to the slave device. 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 complete and before a new opcode can be issued. The commonly used terms in the SPI protocol are as follows: Memory Architecture When accessing the FM25W256, 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 address. 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 FM25W256 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 because writes occur at bus speed. By the time a new bus transaction can be shifted into the device, a write operation is complete. This is explained in more detail in the interface section. Note The FM25W256 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 FM25W256 is a SPI slave device and operates at speeds up to 20 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 FM25W256 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 supports 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 Document Number: 001-84506 Rev. *E 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 FM25W256 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-impedance state. Note A new instruction must begin with the falling edge of CS. Therefore, only one opcode can be issued for 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 FM25W256 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 outputs 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 data 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 Page 4 of 20 FM25W256 the slave responds through the SO pin. Multiple slave devices may share the SI and SO lines as described earlier. bit is ‘don’t care’, Cypress recommends that this bit be set to ‘0’ to enable seamless transition to higher memory densities. The FM25W256 has two separate pins for SI and SO, which can be connected with the master as shown in Figure 2. 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. FM25W256 uses the standard opcodes for memory accesses. 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 3 shows such a configuration, which uses only three pins. Invalid Opcode If an invalid opcode is received, the opcode is ignored and the device ignores any additional serial data on the SI pin until the next falling edge of CS, and the SO pin remains tristated. 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 transmission. Status Register FM25W256 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. 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.

System Configuration without SPI port P1.0 P1.1 SCK SI SO Microcontroller FM25W256 CS HOLD WP P1.2 SPI Modes FM25W256 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) Document Number: 001-84506 Rev. *E For both these modes, the input 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. Page 5 of 20 FM25W256 The two SPI modes are shown in Figure 4 on page 6 and Figure 5 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 bringing 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. Figure 4. SPI Mode 0 CS 0 1 2 3 5 4 6 7 WREN - Set Write Enable Latch The FM25W256 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 Register 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 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 6 illustrates the WREN command bus configuration. SCK Figure 6.

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’.

Users must comply with the timing parameter tPU, which is the minimum time from VDD (min) to the first CS LOW. Figure 7. WRDI Bus Configuration CS 0 Command Structure There are six commands, called opcodes, that can be issued by the bus master to the FM25W256. They are listed in Table 1. These opcodes control the functions performed by the memory. Table 1.

The Status Register is organized as follows. (The default value shipped from the factory for bits in the Status Register is ‘0’.) Table 2.

Status Register Bit Definition Bit Definition Description Bit 0 Don’t care This bit is non-writable and always returns ‘0’ upon read. Bit 1 (WEL) Write Enable Latch WEL indicates if the device is write enabled. This bit defaults to ‘0’ (disabled) on power-up. WEL = '1' --> Write enabled WEL = '0' --> Write disabled Bit 2 (BP0) Block Protect bit ‘0’ Used for block protection. For details, see Table 4 on page 7. Bit 3 (BP1) Block Protect bit ‘1’ Used for block protection. For details, see Table 4 on page 7. Bit 4-6 Don’t care These bits are non-writable and always return ‘0’ upon read. Bit 7 (WPEN) Write Protect Enable bit Used to enable the function of Write Protect Pin (WP). For details, see Table 5 on page 7. 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’. The BP1 and BP0 control the software write-protection features and are nonvolatile 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. Table 4. Block Memory Write Protection BP1 BP0 Protected Address Range 0 0 None 0 1 6000h to 7FFFh (upper 1/4) 1 0 4000h to 7FFFh (upper 1/2) 1 1 0000h to 7FFFh (all) 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 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 Table 5 summarizes the write protection conditions. Table 5. Write Protection WEL WPEN WP Protected Unprotected Blocks Blocks Status Register 0 X X Protected Protected Protected 1 0 X Protected Unprotected Unprotected 1 1 0 Protected Unprotected Protected 1 1 1 Protected Unprotected Unprotected 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 FM25W256 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 FM25W256, 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. write to the Status Register. Thus the Status Register is write-protected only when WPEN = '1' and WP = '0'. Document Number: 001-84506 Rev. *E Page 7 of 20 FM25W256 Figure 8.

Unlike serial flash and EEPROMs, the FM25W256 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. 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 keeps CS LOW. If the last address of 7FFFh 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 10. Note When a burst write reaches a protected block address, the automatic address increment stops and all the subsequent data bytes received for write will be ignored by the device. 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 the 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 11. EEPROMs use page buffers to increase their write throughput. This compensates for the technology's inherently slow write Document Number: 001-84506 Rev. *E Page 8 of 20 FM25W256 Figure 10.

Document Number: 001-84506 Rev. *E Page 9 of 20 FM25W256 Endurance The FM25W256 devices are capable of being accessed at least 1014 times, reads or writes. An F-RAM 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 of 4K 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. Table 6 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 endurance cycle through the loop. Document Number: 001-84506 Rev. *E F-RAM read and write endurance is virtually unlimited even at a 20 MHz clock rate.
