FRAM of 512KB with SPI in 8 pin TDFN package with a max price tag of $7.62
Ramtron’s latest FRAM with a 0.5 MB storage capacity in small footprint package may be a better choice over EEPROMS and Flash, if requirements ask for better retention rate and high read/write endurance. If you are already using 256 KB FRAM from Ramtron, optimize your design with this better offer. Targeted applications are multifunction printers and industrial motor controllers. Bus speeds of 20 MHz, 10 years of data retention, unlimited read/write endurance are the highlight of this ferro device.
