Overview

The Infineon FM24CL16B-DGTR is a 16 Kbit non-volatile Ferroelectric RAM (FRAM) memory IC. It utilizes an I2C interface, operating at speeds up to 1 MHz. This memory solution offers high endurance and fast write capabilities, making it a reliable alternative to traditional EEPROMs.

Why Choose This Part

This FRAM offers exceptional endurance of 100 trillion read/writes, significantly outperforming EEPROM. Its "NoDelay" write feature means data is instantly non-volatile without buffering, simplifying software design. The 151-year data retention and I2C compatibility provide a reliable and easy-to-integrate non-volatile memory solution.

Applications

Data Logging
Ideal for applications requiring frequent, low-power data logging, where the high endurance and fast write times of FRAM are beneficial compared to EEPROM.
Configuration Storage
Suitable for storing system configuration parameters that need to be updated frequently and retained across power cycles, without wear-leveling concerns.
Industrial Control Systems
Its non-volatility and robust performance make it useful in industrial settings for storing critical control data, ensuring data integrity during power interruptions.
Metering and Measurement Devices
Can be used in smart meters or measurement equipment for storing accumulated data or calibration coefficients reliably over long periods.
Medical Devices
Applicable in medical devices where frequent parameter updates and long data retention are crucial, benefiting from FRAM's high endurance and "NoDelay" writes.
