Non Volatile RAM (F-RAM & NVSRAM) Forum Discussions
Hi there,
Can you tell me the baking conditions for FM25CL64B-GTR?
What we would like to know is as follows:
・High Temperature Baking Conditions
・Low Temperature Baking Conditions
・Guaranteed Baking Times
Best Regards,

Show LessDoes anyone have radiation test data on FRAM CY15B102Q (e.g. full part number CY15B102Q-SXM or similar) or on this part family? Looking for gamma “total irradiation dose (TID)” or “single event effects (SEE)”/heavy ion test results.
Show Less1. With respect to the NVSRAM (CY14B256LA-SP25XIT) what it the structure/impedance between the power pin(s), VCC, and the storage cap Vcap.
2. If given a step change in VCC during power on, 0 – 3.3V, what limits the current through the chip to the storage capacitor? Would that maximum current or impedance be the same for a ramped VCC, e.g. a soft-start?
3. The data sheet would suggest that the hardware auto-recall (See Note 25. on page 13 of the datasheet) is only a function of the voltage on the VCC and not the Vcap pin voltage, is this correct?
4. In the CY14B256LA data sheet under maximum device ratings on page 8 there is a maximum accumulated storage time:
Maximum accumulated storage time:
At 150 C ambient temperature .......................1000 h
At 85 C ambient temperature ..................... 20 years
- Are these limitations against the storage of data or with respect to the useful life of the component?
- Does the storage temperature / time impart physical changes, damage, to the component or is it just with respect to the data storage?
- Are there any internal manufacturing structures, e.g. flash, which are used to mask defective structures, array elements, to increase the yield of the device which would be adversely affected by the storage temperature?
- If just with respect to the storage of data, would rewriting the array reset the 1000h accumulated storage time?
- Can the storage temperature to data integrity, or component life, be defined? E.g. above 85C device data integrity, or life, decreases exponentially or perhaps linearly with respect to accumulated time at temperature?
5. What are the architectural differences between the that drive the change in the auto-recall and software recall times as compared to the STK14C88? Reference Infineon app-note AN55662_Migrating_from_STK14C88-3_to_CY14B256LA-ApplicationNotes-v06_00-EN. I’m not looking for too deep of an answer, really zoomed out or high level features would be sufficient, like the internal controller/state machine includes enhanced error detection and correction, clearing or setting of dirty data dirty bits, indicative of a un-saved write operations, slower non-volatile memory…
6. Since the components are screened for temperature, is there an estimate for the time each component was powered during testing at elevated temperatures? I’m assuming that it was fairly minimal, a few seconds too perhaps a couple of minutes each. I guess a valid conservative estimate would be the total test time at temperature divided by the number of components tested?
Show LessHi,
Soft Error Rate discussion on NvRAM in thread from 10/16/2018 06:00PM provided a Report file to the discussion initiator. Are similar SEU/SEL report files available on NvRAM parts STK14C88-3NF35I and CY14B256LA-SZ25XIT?
Thank You,
Jim

Check out the Article "Ensuring fail-safe data storage in battery-powered IoT sensor nodes".
In this article, we will examine the often neglected but most important aspect of any sensor node – local memory.
F-RAM, such as the Excelon F-RAM from Cypress, addresses all concerns related to memory, making it highly efficient for IoT-based data logging. F-RAM endurance is 10^14 write/read cycles and provides immediate non-volatility and byte accessibility. Its low write/read current of 2.4mA, standby current of 2.3uA and hibernate current of 0.1uA, yield extremely low power such as is required for battery-operated IoT devices.

Show LessThis blog is to announce the availability of a new software driver for STM32 family members that include ST's latest OctoSPI controller block, i.e.
STM32L4Rxxx, STM32L4Sxxx, STM32L4P5xx, STM32L4Q5xx,
STM32L5xxxx,
STM32H7A3xx, STM32H7B3xx
and more. Having a good, optimized and easy-to-use software driver is as important as a well designed and fast device. This is why we have developed and are now offering an optimized F-RAM driver for one of the industry's most popular microcontroller platforms: STM32. The latest STM32 SPI controller (OctoSPI) supports various SPI modes including x1, x4 and x8 width, SDR and DDR protocols as well as fully memory mapped access for both read and write operations.
Thanks to an advanced prefetching mechanism, the performance that can be achieved on these platforms is close to the theoretical maximum bus bandwidth (> 90%). Quad SPI (QPI) DDR mode F-RAM access is so fast that an Excelon QSPI F-RAM device can even be used as frame buffer. At SPI clock speeds of 17.5 MHz and higher it is fast enough to support the required read bandwidth of a STM32H7B3 Discovery Kit display controller/TFT. At 46.7 MHz it offers enough headroom to mix the traffic with concurrent frame buffer updates (write operations).
The following picture shows the snapshot of a graphical notepad application with a persistent frame buffer that is implemented via F-RAM. After a power loss (due to an emergency situation or on purpose), the old image is still fully available so that the application can be instantly and seamlessly resumed.
Of course, Cypress F-RAM can also be used for other purposes such as data logging or to make critical application data and variables persistent. In all cases, it provides instant writes (no data loss), infinite endurance as well as long retention.
The new Excelon F-RAM driver can be downloaded from Cypress' F-RAM github (in the STM32 directory).
