This active LOW input activates the device. When HIGH, the device enters low-power standby mode, ignores other inputs, and tristates the output. When LOW, the device internally activates the SCK signal. A falling edge on CS must occur before every opcode. SCK Input Serial Clock. All I/O activity is synchronized to the serial clock.

Because the device is synchronous, the clock frequency may be any value between 0 and 10 MHz and may be interrupted at any time. SI[1] Input Serial Input. All data is input to the device on this pin. The pin is sampled on the rising edge of SCK and is ignored at other times. It should always be driven to a valid logic level to meet IDD specifications. SO[1] Output 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. WP Input Write Protect. This active LOW pin prevents all write operation, including Status Register.

A complete explanation of write protection is provided in Status Register and Write Protection on page 7. This pin must be tied to VDD if not used. HOLD Input HOLD Pin. 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 SCK or CS.

Document Number: 001-86152 Rev. *E Page 3 of 22 FM25L04B Functional Overview The FM25L04B is a serial F-RAM memory. The memory array is logically organized as 512 x 8 bits and is accessed using an industry standard serial peripheral interface (SPI) bus. The functional operation of the F-RAM is similar to serial flash and serial EEPROMs. The major difference between the FM25L04B and a serial flash or EEPROM with the same pinout is the F-RAM's superior write performance, high endurance, and low power consumption. both of these modes, data is clocked into the F-RAM on the rising edge of SCK starting from the first rising edge after CS goes active. The SPI protocol is controlled by opcodes. These opcodes specify the commands from the bus master to the slave device. After CS is activated, the first byte transferred from the bus master is the opcode. Following the opcode, any addresses and data are then transferred. The CS must go inactive after an operation is complete and before a new opcode can be issued. The commonly used terms in the SPI protocol are as follows: Memory Architecture SPI Master When accessing the FM25L04B, the user addresses 512 locations of eight data bits each. These eight data bits are shifted in or out serially. The addresses are accessed using the SPI protocol, which includes a chip select (to permit multiple devices on the bus), an opcode including the upper address bit, and a word address. The word address consist of the lower 8-address bits. The complete address of 9 bits specifies each byte address uniquely. The SPI master device controls the operations on a SPI bus. An SPI bus may have only one master with one or more slave devices. All the slaves share the same SPI bus lines and the master may select any of the slave devices using the CS pin. All of the operations must be initiated by the master activating a slave device by pulling the CS pin of the slave LOW. The master also generates the SCK and all the data transmission on SI and SO lines are synchronized with this clock. Most functions of the FM25L04B are either controlled by the SPI interface or handled by on-board circuitry. The access time for the 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 a serial flash or EEPROM, it is not necessary to poll the device for a ready condition because writes occur at bus speed. By the time a new bus transaction can be shifted into the device, a write operation is complete. This is explained in more detail in the interface section. SPI Slave Note The FM25L04B contains no power management circuits other than a simple internal power-on reset circuit. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that VDD is within datasheet tolerances to prevent incorrect operation. It is recommended that the part is not powered down with chip enable active. Serial Peripheral Interface - SPI Bus The FM25L04B is a SPI slave device and operates at speeds up to 10 MHz. This high-speed serial bus provides high-performance serial communication to a SPI master. Many common microcontrollers have hardware SPI ports allowing a direct interface. It is quite simple to emulate the port using ordinary port pins for microcontrollers that do not. The FM25L04B operates in SPI Mode 0 and 3. SPI Overview The SPI is a four-pin interface with Chip Select (CS), Serial Input (SI), Serial Output (SO), and Serial Clock (SCK) pins. The SPI is a synchronous serial interface, which uses clock and data pins for memory access and supports multiple devices on the data bus. A device on the SPI bus is activated using the CS pin. The relationship between chip select, clock, and data is dictated by the SPI mode. This device supports SPI modes 0 and 3. In Document Number: 001-86152 Rev. *E The SPI slave device is activated by the master through the Chip Select line. A slave device gets the SCK as an input from the SPI master and all the communication is synchronized with this clock. An SPI slave never initiates a communication on the SPI bus and acts only on the instruction from the master. The FM25L04B operates as an SPI slave and may share the SPI bus with other SPI slave devices. Chip Select (CS) To select any slave device, the master needs to pull down the corresponding CS pin. Any instruction can be issued to a slave device only while the CS pin is LOW. When the device is not selected, data through the SI pin is ignored and the serial output pin (SO) remains in a high-impedance state. Note A new instruction must begin with the falling edge of CS. Therefore, only one opcode can be issued for each active Chip Select cycle. Serial Clock (SCK) The Serial Clock is generated by the SPI master and the communication is synchronized with this clock after CS goes LOW. The FM25L04B enables SPI modes 0 and 3 for data communication. In both of these modes, the inputs are latched by the slave device on the rising edge of SCK and outputs are issued on the falling edge. Therefore, the first rising edge of SCK signifies the arrival of the first bit (MSB) of a SPI instruction on the SI pin. Further, all data inputs and outputs are synchronized with SCK. Data Transmission (SI/SO) The SPI data bus consists of two lines, SI and SO, for serial data communication. SI is also referred to as Master Out Slave In (MOSI) and SO is referred to as Master In Slave Out (MISO). The Page 4 of 22 FM25L04B The word address consist of the lower 8-address bits. The complete address of 9 bits specifies each byte address uniquely. master issues instructions to the slave through the SI pin, while the slave responds through the SO pin. Multiple slave devices may share the SI and SO lines as described earlier. Serial Opcode The FM25L04B has two separate pins for SI and SO, which can be connected with the master as shown in Figure 2. After the slave device is selected with CS going LOW, the first byte received is treated as the opcode for the intended operation. FM25L04B uses the standard opcodes for memory accesses. 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 (SI, SO) together and tie off (HIGH) the HOLD and WP pins. Figure 3 shows such a configuration, which uses only three pins. Invalid Opcode If an invalid opcode is received, the opcode is ignored and the device ignores any additional serial data on the SI pin until the next falling edge of CS, and the SO pin remains tristated. Most Significant Bit (MSB) The SPI protocol requires that the first bit to be transmitted is the Most Significant Bit (MSB). This is valid for both address and data transmission. Status Register FM25L04B has an 8-bit Status Register. The bits in the Status Register are used to configure the device. These bits are described in Table 3 on page 7. The 4-Kbit serial F-RAM requires an opcode including the upper address bit, and a word address for any read or write operation. Figure 2.

System Configuration without SPI port P1.0 P1.1 SCK SI SO Microcontroller FM25L04B CS HOLD WP P1.2 SPI Modes FM25L04B may be driven by a microcontroller with its SPI peripheral running in either of the following two modes: SPI Mode 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) Document Number: 001-86152 Rev. *E SPI Mode 3 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1) For both these modes, the input data is latched in on the rising edge of SCK starting from the first rising edge after CS goes active. If the clock starts from a HIGH state (in mode 3), the first rising edge after the clock toggles is considered. The output data is available on the falling edge of SCK. Page 5 of 22 FM25L04B The two SPI modes are shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5. The status of the clock when the bus master is not transferring data is: SCK remains at 0 for Mode 0 SCK remains at 1 for Mode 3 The device detects the SPI mode from the status of the SCK pin when the device is selected by bringing the CS pin LOW. If the SCK pin is LOW when the device is selected, SPI Mode 0 is assumed and if the SCK pin is HIGH, it works in SPI Mode 3. Figure 4. SPI Mode 0 CS 0 1 2 3 5 4 6 7 SCK SI 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 The FM25L04B will power up with writes disabled. The WREN command must be issued before any write operation. Sending the WREN opcode allows the user to issue subsequent opcodes for write operations. These include writing the Status Register (WRSR) and writing the memory (WRITE). Sending the WREN opcode 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 opcode can set this bit. The WEL bit will be automatically cleared on the rising edge of CS 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 6 illustrates the WREN command bus configuration. Note: The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register of FM25L04B part doesn't clear after executing the memory write (WRITE) operation at memory location(s) from 0x100 to 0x1FF.

Users must comply with the timing parameter tPU, which is the minimum time from VDD (min) to the first CS LOW. Command Structure There are six commands, called opcodes, that can be issued by the bus master to the FM25L04B. They are listed in Table 1. These opcodes control the functions performed by the memory. 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 is equal to `0'. Figure 7 illustrates the WRDI command bus configuration. Figure 7.

First, a WREN opcode must be issued prior to any write operation. Assuming that writes are enabled using WREN, writes to memory are controlled by the WP pin and the Status Register. When WP is LOW, the entire part is write-protected. When WP is HIGH, the memory protection is subject to the Status Register. Writes to the Status Register are performed using the WREN and WRSR commands and subject to the WP pin. The Status Register is organized as follows. (The default value shipped from the factory for bits in the Status Register is `0'). Table 2. Status Register Bit 7 Bit 6 Bit 5 Bit 4 Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 0 X (0) X (0) X (0) X (0) BP1 (0) BP0 (0) WEL (0) X (0) Table 3. Status Register Bit Definition Bit Definition Description Bit 0 Don't care This bit is non-writable and always returns `0' upon read. Bit 1 (WEL) Write Enable Latch WEL indicates if the device is write enabled. This bit defaults to `0' (disabled) on power-up. WEL = '1' --> Write enabled WEL = '0' --> Write disabled Bit 2 (BP0) Block Protect bit `0' Used for block protection. For details, see Table 4 on page 7. Bit 3 (BP1) Block Protect bit `1' Used for block protection. For details, see Table 4 on page 7. Bit 4-7 Don't care These bits are non-writable and always return `0' upon read. Bits 0 and 4-7 are fixed at `0'; none of these bits can be modified. Note that bit 0 ("Ready or Write in progress" bit in serial flash and EEPROM) is unnecessary, as the F-RAM writes in real-time and is never busy, so it reads out as a `0'. The BP1 and BP0 control the software write-protection features and are nonvolatile bits. 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 write-protected as shown in Table 4. Table 4. Block Memory Write Protection BP1 BP0 Protected Address Range 0 0 None 0 1 180h to 1FFh (upper 1/4) 1 0 100h to 1FFh (upper 1/2) 1 1 000h to 1FFh (all) 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 BP1 and BP0 bits allow software to selectively write protect the array. These settings are only used when the WP pin is inactive and the WREN command has been issued. Document Number: 001-86152 Rev. *E Table 5 summarizes the write protection conditions. Table 5. Write Protection WEL WP Protected Blocks Unprotected Blocks Status Register 0 X Protected Protected Protected 1 0 Protected Protected Protected 1 1 Protected Unprotected Unprotected RDSR - Read Status Register The RDSR command allows the bus master to verify the contents of the Status Register. Reading the status register provides information about the current state of the write-protection features. Following the RDSR opcode, the FM25L04B will return one byte with the contents of the Status Register. WRSR - Write Status Register The WRSR command allows the SPI bus master to write into the Status Register and change the write protect configuration by setting the BP0 and BP1 bits as required. Before issuing a WRSR command, the WP pin must be HIGH or inactive. Note that on the FM25L04B, WP prevents writing to the Status Register and the memory array. Before sending the WRSR command, the user must send a WREN command to enable writes. Executing a WRSR command is a write operation and therefore, clears the Write Enable Latch.

Unlike serial flash and EEPROMs, the FM25L04B can perform sequential writes at bus speed. No page register is needed and any number of sequential writes may be performed. Write Operation All writes to the memory begin with a WREN opcode. The WRITE opcode includes the upper bit of the memory address. Bit 3 in the opcode corresponds to the upper address bit (A8). The next byte is the lower 8-bits of the address (A7-A0). In total, the 9-bits specify the address of the first byte of the write operation. Subsequent bytes are data bytes, which are written sequentially. Addresses are incremented internally as long as the bus master continues to issue clocks and keeps CS LOW. If the last address of 1FFh is reached, the counter will roll over to 000h. Data is written MSB first. The rising edge of CS terminates a write operation. A write operation is shown in Figure 10. Note When a burst write reaches a protected block address, the automatic address increment stops and all the subsequent data bytes received for write will be ignored by the device. Document Number: 001-86152 Rev. *E X X MSB EEPROMs use page buffers to increase their write throughput. This compensates for the technology's inherently slow write operations. F-RAM memories do not have page buffers because each byte is written to the F-RAM array immediately after it is clocked in (after the eighth clock). This allows any number of bytes to be written without page buffer delays. Note If the power is lost in the middle of the write operation, only the last completed byte will be written. Read Operation After the falling edge of CS, the bus master can issue a READ opcode. The READ opcode includes the upper bit of the memory address. Bit 3 in the opcode corresponds to the upper address bit (A8). The next byte is the lower 8-bits of the address (A7-A0). In total, the 9-bits specify the address of the first byte of the read operation. After the opcode and address are issued, the device drives out the read data on the next eight clocks. The SI input is ignored during read data bytes. Subsequent bytes are data bytes, which are read out sequentially. Addresses are incremented internally as long as the bus master continues to issue clocks and CS is LOW. If the last address of 1FFh is reached, the counter will roll over to 000h. Data is read MSB first. The rising edge of CS terminates a read operation and tristates the SO pin. A read operation is shown in Figure 11. Page 8 of 22 FM25L04B Figure 10.

If the bus master pulls the HOLD pin LOW while SCK is LOW, the current operation will pause. Taking the HOLD pin LSB HIGH while SCK is LOW will resume an operation. The transitions of HOLD must occur while SCK is LOW, but the SCK and CS can toggle during a hold state. ~ ~ Figure 12. HOLD Operation[2] ~ ~ CS SI VALID IN SO VALID IN ~ ~ HOLD ~ ~ ~ ~ SCK Note 2.

Document Number: 001-86152 Rev. *E Page 9 of 22 FM25L04B Endurance The FM25L04B devices are capable of being accessed at least 1013 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 of 64 rows of 64-bits each. The entire row is internally accessed once whether a single byte or all eight bytes are read or written. Each byte in the row is counted only once in an endurance calculation. Table 6 shows endurance calculations for a 64-byte repeating loop, which includes an opcode, a starting Document Number: 001-86152 Rev. *E address, and a sequential 64-byte data stream. This causes each byte to experience one endurance cycle through the loop. Table 6.

Instead, it is often expected to operate in multiple temperature environments throughout the application's usage life time. Accordingly, the retention specification for F-RAM in applications often needs to be calculated cumulatively. An example calculation for a multi-temperature thermal profiles is given below.

You can also send your related queries directly to FRAM@cypress.com. Part Numbers Affected Part Number FM25L04B Device Characteristics 512 x 8, 2.7 V to 3.6 V, single power supply, serial (SPI) interface F-RAM in 8-pin SOIC package. Qualification Status Production parts. Errata Summary The following table defines the errata applicability. Items Part Number The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the FM25L04B-GA Status Register of FM25L04B part doesn't FM25L04B-GATR clear after executing the memory write (WRITE) operation at memory location(s) from 0x100 to 0x1FF. Silicon Revision Fix Status Rev *A None. This behavior is applicable to all listed parts in the production. 1. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register of FM25L04B part doesn't clear after executing the memory write (WRITE) operation at memory location(s) from 0x100 to 0x1FF. Problem Definition As per the FM25L04B datasheet "sending the WREN opcode causes the internal Write Enable Latch (WEL) 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. Completing any write operation will automatically clear the write-enable latch and will prevent further writes without another WREN command". However, in the FM25L04B part, the WEL bit doesn't clear automatically after writing at any memory location(s) from 0x100 to 0x1FF. That means, after completing the write cycle with the opcode byte 0x0A, WEL bit in status register is still set and hence a further write can be issued without sending the WREN opcode. Document Number: 001-86152 Rev. *E Page 19 of 22 FM25L04B Status Register Status Register Bit Definition The internal state machine of FM25L04B is intended to clear the WEL bit after executing write opcodes (WRITE and WRSR). However, as explained above, the WEL doesn't clear when executing the memory write (WRITE) at location/s from 0x100 to 0x1FF. The 4Kb memory requires 9 address bits to map the entire memory array (512 x 8). To optimize the command cycle and to maintain the compatibility with the industry standard 4Kb SPI EEPROMs, the MSB of the address (9th bit) in the 4Kb device is embedded into write (WRITE) and read (READ) opcodes as shown below. For address range - 0x00 to 0xFF: WRITE opcode - 0000 A010 = 0x0000 0010 (or 0x02 in hex, A = `0') READ opcode - 0000 A011 = 0x0000 0011 (or 0x03 in hex, A = `0') For address range - 0x100 to 0x1FF: WRITE opcode - 0000 A010 = 0x0000 1010 (or 0x0A in hex, A = `1') READ opcode - 0000 A011 = 0x0000 1011 (or 0x0B in hex, A = `1') Due to a logic bug in the FM25L04B state machine, the opcode byte 0x0A does not trigger clearing of WEL bit, hence the WEL bit remains set even after executing the memory write at address location/s from 0x100 to 0x1FF. Parameters Affected Trigger Condition(S) Scope of Impact Workaround None. Execute the Write Enable command (WREN) followed by the write command (WRITE) to memory address range 0x100 to 0x1FF. None. It only allows a subsequent write (WRITE or WRSR) without sending a prior WREN command. To ensure that the WEL bit is cleared after every write, the SPI host controller can issue the Write Disable (WRDI) opcode at the end of every write cycle (after CS goes high). The WRDI command clears the WEL (if set) and disables all writes until the WEL is set by sending the WREN opcode before initiating a new write operation. Fix Status There is no fix planned and all the FM25L04B part in production will continue with the above errata.
