Ramtron serial 1-Mbit F-RAM is automotive qualified

Ramtron has announced that the FM25V10-G, a 1-Megabit (Mb), 2.0-3.6V serial F-RAM memory device has been qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 3 standards. This automotive-grade qualification, established by the Automotive Electronic Council's Stress Test Qualification for Integrated Circuits, expands Ramtron's portfolio of AEC-Q100 compliant memory to 15 devices, which are designed to meet the demanding requirements of the automotive market. The Grade-3 qualification ensures device operation over the automotive temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees Celsius.

The FM25V10-G is a member of Ramtron's V-Family nonvolatile F-RAM memory with an operating voltage range of 2.0 to 3.6-volts. It is a 1-Mb serial SPI device that has an operating current of 3.0 mA (Idd at 40MHz). It operates at full bus speed of 40MHz, features no delay writes, large number of read/write cycles, and low power consumption. The FM25V10-G can directly replace the 1-Mb serial Flash and serial EEPROM memories in automotive, industrial controls, metering, medical, military, gaming, and computing applications, among others.

"The FM25V10 demonstrates automotive-grade compliance of our highest density product to date," comments Ramtron marketing manager, Mike Peters. "Adding Grade 3 qualification to our V-Family product line allows us to offer power-efficient, high-performance nonvolatile memories to automotive customers over the entire density range of 4-kilobits to 1-megabit."

Package: RoHS-compliant,8-pin SOIC.

Price:
Begins at US$5.05 for the FM25V10-G and US$5.19 for the optional unique serial number device (FM25VN10-G) in quantities of 10K
