FRAM is a non-volatile memory product with superior features of high read/write endurance, fast writing speed operation and low power consumption, and it has been mass-produced for over 20 years.

The MB85R8M2TA with an SRAM-compatible parallel interface operates at a wide range of power supply voltage from 1.8V to 3.6V. Being capable of operating up to 25ns in fast page mode, the new FRAM’s access speed is as high as SRAM at continuous data transfer. It achieves both high-speed operations, approximately 30% faster access speed, and low power consumption, 10% less operating current, compared to Fujitsu’s conventional products. This memory IC is an ideal replacement of SRAM in the industrial machines that require high-speed operation.

From the above features, the new 8Mbit FRAM brings customers the benefit of eliminating a data-backup battery necessary for SRAM in some cases.
