Fujitsu's Expand FRAM V Series with Extended Wide Voltage Range

##IMAGE_1_R##FRAM is now extensively used in applications such as power meters, factory automation or monitoring systems. By supporting the complete voltage range for 3.3 V and 5 V systems, the MB85RC256V unit offers customers greater efficiency in their design and logistic processes.

The new V series member will offer 256-kbit memory density with a configuration of 32k words x 8-bits. The device features I²C serial interfaces at a maximum operating frequency of 400 kHz at an operating voltage of 2.7 V to 4.5 V or a maximum of 1 MHz at an operating voltage of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. All products in this series are available in EEPROM-compatible 8-pin plastic SOP packages. As regards reliability, Fujitsu has achieved significant improvements in the V series. The specifications for the MB85RC256V offer 10 years’ data retention at 85 °C and an endurance rating of 1 trillion (10¹²) read/write cycles, ensuring that operation is guaranteed over the industrial temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.

Fujitsu offers a broad spectrum of FRAM devices equipped with I²C, SPI or parallel interfaces, covering densities ranging from 4 kbit to 4 Mbit. As a special type of non-volatile memory, FRAM combines the advantages of SRAM and EEPROM with fast write access, extremely low power consumption and virtually unlimited read/write endurance. By keeping development and manufacturing in-house, Fujitsu can maximise co-operation between design and factory teams. This, in turn, provides a stable foundation from which the company can offer valuable, high-quality products to the market along a stable supply chain.
