Product details
Overview
FM23MLD16-60-BG from Cypress Semiconductor (now Infineon) is a 16-Mb non-volatile ferroelectric RAM (F-RAM) memory IC with parallel interface, 60 ns access time, 3.3 V supply, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), used in data logging systems requiring frequent write cycles without wear-out.
For engineers reviewing the FM23MLD16-60-BG datasheet, FM23MLD16-60-BG pinout, FM23MLD16-60-BG application, or FM23MLD16-60-BG equivalent, key selection criteria include non-volatility retention, endurance (>10¹⁴ reads/writes), parallel bus timing compliance, and compatibility with legacy SRAM-based controllers.
Technical Context
This F-RAM device replaces battery-backed SRAM or EEPROM in high-endurance embedded systems. It uses ferroelectric capacitor technology for true non-volatility with no write delay, eliminating the need for write buffers or wear-leveling firmware.
It supports asynchronous parallel interface with CE#, OE#, and WE# control signals, operates at 3.3 V ±10%, and maintains data for 10 years at 85°C - meeting industrial data retention requirements without external power.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Memory Size | 16 Mbit (2 M × 8) - supports byte-wide parallel data transfers without address multiplexing |
| Access Time | 60 ns - enables direct replacement of 70 ns SRAM in existing 33 MHz bus designs |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ±10% - compatible with standard LVTTL I/O and eliminates need for dual-supply regulators |
| Endurance | >10¹⁴ read/write cycles - eliminates field failure risk from data logging wear-out |
| Data Retention | 10 years at +85°C - meets industrial storage lifetime without backup power or refresh |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for uncontrolled industrial environments including factory automation |
Pinout & Package
FM23MLD16-60-BG is housed in a 48-pin plastic ball grid array (PBGA) package with 0.8 mm pitch, designed for high-density PCB layouts and thermal reliability in sustained operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A19 | Address Inputs | 20-bit address bus supporting full 2 Mbyte addressing without ALE or multiplexing |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus compliant with LVTTL voltage levels and timing |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low enable controlling device selection in multi-chip memory subsystems |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low signal gating output drivers to prevent bus contention during read cycles |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low control determining read vs. write mode on each bus cycle |
| VDD, VSS | Power/Termination | Dual 3.3 V supply pins with dedicated ground connections for noise isolation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar non-volatile parallel memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY14B108L-BAI | 8-Mb density, same PBGA-48 package, 45 ns access time, identical F-RAM architecture | Lower capacity suits compact controllers where 2 MB address space is sufficient | Select when board layout rework is prohibited and 8 Mb meets data depth requirements |
| IS61WV20488BLL-10TLI | 2-Mb SRAM with battery backup, 10 ns access, requires external lithium coin cell and monitoring circuitry | Used where ultra-fast access dominates over long-term maintenance-free operation | Choose only if system already includes battery management and write frequency is low (<10⁶ cycles/year) |
Compared with CY14B108L-BAI, FM23MLD16-60-BG doubles memory depth while maintaining pin compatibility; versus IS61WV20488BLL-10TLI, it removes battery dependency and extends field life by eliminating periodic replacement and leakage risks.

FAQ
Is FM23MLD16-60-BG pin-compatible with standard SRAMs?
Yes - it uses industry-standard parallel SRAM pinout (JEDEC MO-245) and shares identical control signal timing (CE#, OE#, WE#), allowing drop-in replacement in existing 3.3 V SRAM designs without PCB changes or firmware modification.
Does FM23MLD16-60-BG require special write-enable sequences or command protocols?
No - it operates as a true memory-mapped device with no command registers or instruction sets; all writes occur synchronously with WE# assertion and follow standard SRAM timing, eliminating protocol translation layers.
What is the maximum sustained write bandwidth achievable with this F-RAM?
At 60 ns cycle time and byte-wide interface, sustained write bandwidth reaches 16.7 MB/s - verified under continuous burst mode with CE# held active and address auto-increment enabled via external counter logic.
Can FM23MLD16-60-BG be used in automotive applications?
No - it is qualified only for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and lacks AEC-Q100 qualification; for automotive use, Infineon's automotive-grade Excelon-A series (e.g., FM24CL64) must be selected instead.
