Knowledge Base Article discusses the key differences that need to be considered when migrating from FM25V20A to CY15B102QN. The two devices are identical in terms of package composition and dimensions, and read/write functionality. From a hardware point of view, two devices are identical. Form a software point of view, the key difference between the two devices are sleep mode (Hibernate mode) entry time, and Device ID. 

CY15B102QN adds many features like operation down to 1.8 V, deep power down capability, lower standby current and higher speed capability. Table 1 shows the compatibility chart of FM25V20A and CY15B102QN. For a detailed comparison of the devices, see Table 2.
