Product details
Overview
FM24CL64B-DG from Cypress Semiconductor is a 64-Kbit (8K × 8) serial I²C ferroelectric RAM (F-RAM) with NoDelay™ write capability, 10¹⁴ read/write endurance, and 151-year data retention at +85°C. It operates from 2.7 V to 3.65 V across –40°C to +85°C and serves as a hardware drop-in replacement for I²C EEPROM in real-time data logging and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the FM24CL64B-DG datasheet, FM24CL64B-DG pinout, FM24CL64B-DG application, or FM24CL64B-DG equivalent, key selection criteria include write-cycle speed without polling, ultra-high endurance under frequent update loads, I²C timing compatibility (100 kHz/400 kHz/1 MHz), and dual-package availability (SOIC-8 and DFN-8).
Technical Context
The FM24CL64B-DG implements a true nonvolatile memory architecture using ferroelectric capacitors, enabling RAM-like random-access reads/writes without write latency or internal charge-pump circuitry. Its I²C interface supports standard-mode (100 kHz), fast-mode (400 kHz), and fast-mode plus (1 MHz) timing, with Schmitt-trigger inputs on SDA/SCL and open-drain outputs requiring external pull-ups.
Addressing uses a 7-bit slave address (1010xxxR/W) with three hardware-selectable A2–A0 pins, allowing up to eight devices on one bus. Internal address auto-increment enables burst reads/writes across the full 8K-byte space, with wraparound from 1FFFh to 0000h and no page-boundary constraints.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 64 Kbit (8,192 × 8 bits); supports byte- and sequential-access without page limits. |
| Interface | I²C-compatible 2-wire serial; supports 100 kHz, 400 kHz, and 1 MHz clock rates with legacy timing compliance. |
| Write Endurance | 100 trillion (10¹⁴) cycles; eliminates wear-leveling firmware overhead in high-write-rate applications. |
| Data Retention | 151 years at +85°C; ensures long-term reliability without periodic refresh or backup power. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.65 V; compatible with 3.3 V logic systems and tolerant of brown-out conditions during writes. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C industrial range; validated for use in factory automation and outdoor metering environments. |
| Active Current | 100 µA typical at 100 kHz; reduces system power budget versus EEPROM's higher write-current spikes. |
Pinout & Package
FM24CL64B-DG is available in two RoHS-compliant packages: 8-pin SOIC (3.9 mm × 4.9 mm) and 8-pin DFN (2 mm × 3 mm) with exposed pad (non-connected). Both packages share identical pin functions and I/O mapping.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A2 | Device Address Input | Hardware-selectable bits for I²C slave address (1010xxxR/W); enable up to 8 devices on same bus. |
| SDA | Bi-directional Serial Data | Open-drain I²C data line with Schmitt trigger input; requires external pull-up resistor. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock with Schmitt trigger; defines timing for all read/write transfers. |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Logic-high = full memory write-protection; internally pulled down for default write-enable. |
| VDD | Power Supply | Primary 2.7–3.65 V supply; powers core logic and F-RAM array with no internal voltage boosting. |
| VSS | Ground Reference | System ground return; must be low-impedance connection for noise immunity and stable operation. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial nonvolatile memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C64D-SSHM-T | 64-Kbit I²C EEPROM; 1 million write cycles; 10 ms write time per byte; requires polling. | Limited to infrequent updates; unsuitable for >10 Hz logging due to write latency and endurance exhaustion. | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs write-frequency requirements and system firmware can accommodate polling. |
| MB85RC64T-FPN-GE1 | 64-Kbit I²C F-RAM; identical 10¹⁴ endurance and NoDelay™ writes; operates at 1.7–5.5 V. | Broad voltage range supports mixed-voltage designs; same functional behavior but different manufacturer qualification. | Preferred for 1.8 V or 5 V systems; otherwise functionally interchangeable with FM24CL64B-DG in 3.3 V designs. |
Compared with AT24C64D-SSHM-T, FM24CL64B-DG eliminates write latency and extends lifetime by 100,000×; versus MB85RC64T-FPN-GE1, it offers tighter industrial temp spec (–40°C to +85°C vs. –40°C to +105°C) and Cypress's long-term supply commitment for automotive-qualified variants.

FAQ
Is FM24CL64B-DG pin-compatible with standard I²C EEPROMs like AT24C64?
Yes - FM24CL64B-DG uses identical 8-pin SOIC and DFN footprints and matches the I²C slave address format (1010xxxR/W) and pin functions of AT24C64-series EEPROMs. No PCB redesign is needed; only firmware verification of timing margins at 1 MHz is recommended.
Does FM24CL64B-DG require external circuitry beyond pull-up resistors on SDA/SCL?
No - unlike EEPROMs, it needs no charge-pump capacitors, high-voltage generators, or backup batteries. Only standard I²C pull-up resistors (typically 2.2–10 kΩ) are required. The WP pin may be tied directly to VDD or GND depending on write-protection needs.
How does the 151-year data retention specification account for temperature variation?
The 151-year figure is extrapolated per JEDEC JESD22-A117 at +85°C using Arrhenius modeling; actual retention exceeds 200 years at +25°C. Cypress validates retention through accelerated life testing with zero data loss across 1,000 hours at 125°C and 90% RH.
Can FM24CL64B-DG operate reliably during power-supply brownouts?
Yes - its write operation completes within the I²C clock cycle and requires no internal voltage boosting. Cypress specifies safe write operation down to VDD = 2.7 V, and data is retained even if power drops below that threshold mid-transfer, provided the last byte was acknowledged.
