Description
Pin Configuration
The FM25H20 is a 2-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 Serial
Flash and other nonvolatile memories.
Unlike Serial Flash, the FM25H20 performs write
operations at bus speed. No write delays are incurred.
Data is written to the memory array immediately
after it has been transferred to the device. The next
bus cycle may commence without the need for data
polling. The product offers virtually unlimited write
endurance, orders of magnitude more endurance than
Serial Flash. Also, F-RAM exhibits lower power
consumption than Serial Flash.
These capabilities make the FM25H20 ideal for
nonvolatile memory applications requiring frequent
or rapid writes or low power operation. Examples
range from data collection, where the number of
write cycles may be critical, to demanding industrial
controls where the long write time of Serial Flash can
cause data loss.
The FM25H20 provides substantial benefits to users
of Serial Flash as a hardware drop-in replacement.
The FM25H20 uses the high-speed SPI bus, which
enhances the high-speed write capability of F-RAM
technology. Device specifications are guaranteed
over an industrial temperature range of -40°C to
+85°C.
This is a product in the pre-production phase of development. Device
characterization is complete and Ramtron does not expect to change the
specifications. Ramtron will issue a Product Change Notice if any
specification changes are made.

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 C signal. A falling edge on /S 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 40 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 C or /S. All transitions on /HOLD must occur while C is low.
Write Protect: This active low pin prevents write operations only to the Status
Register. A complete explanation of write protection is provided on pages 6 and 7.
Serial Input: All data is input to the device on this pin. The pin is sampled on the
rising edge of C and is ignored at other times. It should always be driven to a valid
logic level to meet IDD specifications.
* D may be connected to Q 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.
* Q may be connected to D for a single pin data interface.

FM25H20 - 2Mb SPI FRAM
Overview
The FM25H20 is a serial F-RAM memory. The
memory array is logically organized as 262,144 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 Flash. The major
differences between the FM25H20 and a Serial Flash
with the same pinout are the F-RAM’s superior write
performance, very high endurance, and lower power
consumption.
Memory Architecture
When accessing the FM25H20, the user addresses
256K 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 threebyte address. The complete address of 18-bits
specifies each byte address uniquely.
Most functions of the FM25H20 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 Serial
Flash, 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 FM25H20 due to its fast write cycle and high
endurance as compared to Serial Flash. 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 Serial Flash
since it is completed quickly. By contrast, Serial
Flash requiring milliseconds to write is vulnerable to
noise during much of the cycle.
Serial Peripheral Interface – SPI Bus
The FM25H20 employs a Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI) bus. It is specified to operate at speeds up to
40MHz. This high-speed serial bus provides 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
Rev. 2.2
Sept. 2010
port pins for microcontrollers that do not. The
FM25H20 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 FM25H20 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 FM25H20 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 together and tie off 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 FM25H20 will begin monitoring
the clock and data lines. The relationship between the
falling edge of /S, 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
FM25H20 supports only modes 0 and 3. Figure 4
shows the required signal relationships for modes 0
and 3. For both modes, data is clocked into the
FM25H20 on the rising edge of C and data is
expected on the first rising edge after /S goes active.
If the clock starts from a high state, it will fall prior to
the first 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
/S 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.
Certain op-codes are commands with no subsequent
data transfer. The /S 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.

Power Up to First Access
The FM25H20 is not accessible for a period of time
(1 ms) after power up. Users must comply with the
timing parameter tPU, which is the minimum time
from VDD (min) to the first /S low.
Data Transfer
All data transfers to and from the FM25H20 occur in
8-bit groups. They are synchronized to the clock
signal (C), and they transfer most significant bit
(MSB) first. Serial inputs are registered on the rising
edge of C. Outputs are driven from the falling edge of
C.
Command Structure
There are six commands called op-codes that can be
issued by the bus master to the FM25H20. 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.

WREN - Set Write Enable Latch
The FM25H20 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).
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.

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 FM25H20 will return one byte with the
contents of the Status Register. The Status Register is
described in detail in the section below.
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 /W pin must be high or inactive. 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. The bus
configuration of RDSR and WRSR are shown
below.

Status Register & Write Protection
The write protection features of the FM25H20 are
multi-tiered. A WREN op-code must be issued prior
to writing the memory (WRITE) or Status Register
(WRSR). Protecting the Status Register can be
accomplished via software using the WPEN bit or
hardware using the /W pin. Status Register write
operations are blocked when the /W pin is low and
WPEN=1. Memory write operations are protected by
Rev. 2.2
Sept. 2010
the block protect (BP) bits in the Status Register. The
state of the /W pin has no effect on memory writes.
As described above, writes to the Status Register are
performed using the WRSR command and subject to
the WPEN bit and /W pin. The Status Register is
organized as follows.

Bits 0, 4, 5 are fixed at 0 and bit 6 is fixed at 1, and
none of these bits can be modified. Note that bit 0
(“Write in Progress” bit in Serial Flash) is
unnecessary as the F-RAM writes in real-time and is
never busy, so it reads out as a ‘0’. There is an
exception to this when the device is waking up from
Sleep Mode, which is described on the following
page. The BP1 and BP0 control software 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.

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 Serial
Flash, the FM25H20 can perform sequential writes at
bus speed. No page buffer is needed and any number
of sequential writes may be performed.
Write Operation
All writes to the memory array begin with a WREN
op-code. The next op-code is the WRITE instruction.
This op-code is followed by a three-byte address
value, which specifies the 18-bit address of the first
data byte of the write operation. Note that the first 6bits in the most significant address byte are ignored.
Subsequent bytes are data and they are written
sequentially. Addresses are incremented internally as
long as the bus master continues to issue clocks. If
the last address of 3FFFFh is reached, the counter
will roll over to 00000h. Data is written MSB first. A
write operation is shown in Figure 9.
Rev. 2.2
Sept. 2010
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 pin
/W. When WPEN=0, the /W pin is ignored. When
WPEN=1, the /W pin controls write access to the
Status Register. Thus the Status Register is writeprotected only when WPEN=1 and the /W pin is low.
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 the /W
pin is low. This occurs because the block protect bits
prevent writing memory and the /W 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.
Unprotected Blocks

Unlike Serial Flash, any number of bytes can be
written sequentially and each byte is written to
memory immediately after it is clocked in (after the
8th clock). The rising edge of /S terminates a WRITE
op-code operation. Asserting /W active in the middle
of a write operation will have no effect until the next
falling edge of /S.
Read Operation
After the falling edge of /S, the bus master can issue
a READ op-code. Following this instruction is a
three-byte address value, 18-bits specifying the
address of the first data byte of the read operation.
After the op-code and address are complete, the D
line is ignored. The bus master issues 8 clocks, with
one bit read out for each. Addresses are incremented
internally as long as the bus master continues to issue
clocks. If the last address of 3FFFFh is reached, the
counter will roll over to 00000h. Data is read MSB
first. The rising edge of /S terminates a READ opcode operation. A read operation is shown in Figure
10.

while C is low will resume an operation. The
transitions of /HOLD must occur while C is low, but
the C and /S pins can toggle during a hold state.

The /HOLD pin can be used to interrupt a serial
operation without aborting it. If the bus master pulls
the /HOLD pin low while C is low, the current

Sleep Mode
A low power mode called Sleep Mode is
implemented on the FM25H20. The device will enter
this low power state when the SLEEP op-code (B9h)
is clocked in, and the device seeing the rising edge of
/S. Once in sleep mode, the C and D pins are ignored
and Q will go to a hi-Z state, but the device continues
to monitor the /S pin. On the next falling edge of /S,
the device will return to normal operation within tREC
(450 µs max.). The Q pin remains in a hi-Z state
during the wakeup period. The FM25H20 will not
necessarily respond to an opcode within the wakeup
period. To start the wakeup procedure, the controller
may send a “dummy” read, for example, and wait the
remaining tREC time.

Endurance
The FM25H20 is 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. Rows are defined by A17-A3
and column addresses by A2-A0. See Block
Diagram (pg 2) which shows the array as 32K rows
of 64-bits each. The entire row is internally accessed
each time a byte in that row is read or written. All 8
bytes in the row are counted separately for each
access in an endurance calculation. The table below
shows endurance calculations for 256-byte repeating
loop, which includes an op-code, a starting address (3
bytes), and a sequential 256-byte data stream. This
causes each byte to experience eight endurance
cycles through the loop. F-RAM read and write
endurance is very high even at 40MHz clock rate.
