The FM24W256 is a 256-kilobit 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 FM24W256 performs write operations at bus
speed. No write delays are incurred. Data is written to
the memory array immediately after it 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 FM24W256 is capable of
supporting 1014 read/write cycles, or 100 million
times more write cycles than EEPROM.

These capabilities make the FM24W256 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 FM24W256 provides substantial benefits to
users of serial EEPROM, yet these benefits are
available in a hardware drop-in replacement. The
FM24W256 is available in industry standard 8-pin
SOIC package using a familiar two-wire protocol. It
is guaranteed over an industrial temperature range of
-40°C to +85°C.
This is a product that has fixed target specifications but are subject
to change pending characterization results.

Pin Description
Device Select Address 0-2: These pins are used to select one of up to 8 devices of
the same type on the same two-wire bus. To select the device, the address value on
the three pins must match the corresponding bits contained in the slave address. The
address pins are pulled down internally.
Serial Data/Address: This is a bi-directional pin for the two-wire interface. It is
open-drain and is intended to be wire-OR’d with other devices on the two-wire bus.
The input buffer incorporates a Schmitt trigger for noise immunity and the output
driver includes slope control for falling edges. A pull-up resistor is required.
Serial Clock: The serial clock pin for the two-wire interface. Data is clocked out of
the part on the falling edge, and into the device on the rising edge. The SCL input
also incorporates a Schmitt trigger input for noise immunity.
Write Protect: When tied to VDD, addresses in the entire memory map will be writeprotected. When WP is connected to ground, all addresses may be written. This pin
is pulled down internally.
Supply Voltage: 2.7V to 5.5V

Overview
Two-wire Interface
The FM24W256 is a serial F-RAM memory. The
memory array is logically organized as a 32,768 x 8
bit memory array and is accessed using an industry
standard two-wire interface. Functional operation of
the F-RAM is similar to serial EEPROMs. The major
difference between the FM24W256 and a serial
EEPROM with the same pinout relates to its superior
write performance.
The FM24W256 employs a bi-directional two-wire
bus protocol using few pins or board space. Figure 2
illustrates a typical system configuration using the
FM24W256 in a microcontroller-based system. The
industry standard two-wire bus is familiar to many
users but is described in this section.
Memory Architecture
When accessing the FM24W256, the user addresses
32,768 locations each with 8 data bits. These data bits
are shifted serially. The 32,768 addresses are
accessed using the two-wire protocol, which includes
a slave address (to distinguish other non-memory
devices), and a 2-byte address. Only the lower 15 bits
are used by the decoder for accessing the memory.
The upper most address bit should be set to 0 for
compatibility with higher density devices in the
future.
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 FM24W256 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.
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 FM24W256 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 in the electrical
specifications.

Figure 3. Data Transfer Protocol
Stop Condition
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 FM24W256 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 Condition
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
FM24W256 for a new operation.
If during operation the power supply drops below the
specified VDD minimum, the system should issue a
start condition prior to performing another operation.
Data/Address Transfer
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 8th 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.
Second and most common, the receiver does not
acknowledge to deliberately end an operation. For
example, during a read operation, the FM24W256
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 FM24W256 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 FM24W256 expects after a
start condition is the slave address. As shown in
Figure 4, the slave address contains the device type,
the device select address bits, and a bit that specifies
if the transaction is a read or a write.
Bits 7-4 are the device type and should be set to
1010b for the FM24W256. These bits allow other
types of function types to reside on the 2-wire bus
within an identical address range. Bits 3-1 are the
address select bits. They must match the
corresponding value on the external address pins to
select the device. Up to eight FM24W256s can
reside on the same two-wire bus by assigning a
different address to each. Bit 0 is the read/write bit.
R/W=1 indicates a read operation and R/W=0
indicates a write operation.
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.

Figure 4. Slave Address
Addressing Overview
After the FM24W256 (as receiver) acknowledges the
slave address, the master can place the memory
address on the bus for a write operation. The address
requires two bytes. The first is the MSB. Since the
device uses only 15 address bits, the value of the
upper bit is “don’t care”. Following the MSB is the
LSB with the remaining eight address bits. The
address value 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 FM24W256 increments the internal
address latch. This allows the next sequential byte to
be accessed with no additional addressing. After the
last address (7FFFh) 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
FM24W256 can begin. For a read operation the
FM24W256 will place 8 data bits on the bus then
wait for an acknowledge from the master. If the
acknowledge occurs, the FM24W256 will transfer the
next sequential byte. If the acknowledge is not sent,
the FM24W256 will end the read operation. For a
write operation, the FM24W256 will accept 8 data
bits from the master then send an acknowledge. All
data transfer occurs MSB (most significant bit) first.
The FM24W256 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 FM24W256 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 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 7FFFh 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
8th 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 8th data bit. The FM24W256
uses no page buffering.
The memory array can be write protected using the
WP pin. Setting the WP pin to a high condition
(VDD) will write-protect all addresses. The
FM24W256 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 (VSS) 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 FM24W256 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 FM24W256 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 1. This
indicates that a read operation is requested. After
receiving the complete slave address, the FM24W256
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 FM24W256 should read
out the next sequential byte.
Rev. 1.3
July 2011
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
FM24W256 attempts to read out additional data onto
the bus. The four valid methods are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The bus master issues a no-acknowledge in the
9th clock cycle and a stop in the 10th clock cycle.
This is illustrated in the diagrams below. This is
preferred.
The bus master issues a no-acknowledge in the
9th clock cycle and a start in the 10th.
The bus master issues a stop in the 9th clock
cycle.
The bus master issues a start in the 9th clock
cycle.
If the internal address reaches 7FFFh, 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
Page 6 of 13
FM24W256 - 256Kb Wide Voltage I2C F-RAM
loaded into the internal address latch. After the
FM24W256 acknowledges the address, the bus
master 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.
