Product details
Overview
FM24CL64B-G from Cypress Semiconductor is a 64-Kbit (8K × 8) serial I²C F-RAM nonvolatile memory with NoDelay™ writes, 10¹⁴ read/write endurance, and 151-year data retention at industrial temperature (–40 °C to +85 °C). It operates from 2.7 V to 3.65 V and supports up to 1-MHz I²C bus speed - enabling real-time logging in battery-powered sensor nodes without write latency or polling.
For engineers reviewing the FM24CL64B-G datasheet, FM24CL64B-G pinout, FM24CL64B-G application, or FM24CL64B-G equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed write-at-bus-speed behavior, absence of internal write cycles, compatibility with legacy EEPROM timing (100/400 kHz), and dual-package availability (SOIC-8 and DFN-8) for space-constrained industrial control modules.
Technical Context
The FM24CL64B-G implements a ferroelectric memory array logically organized as 8,192 × 8 bits, accessed via standard I²C protocol with 7-bit slave address (1010b + A2:A0 + R/W). Its internal address latch auto-increments after each byte transfer, supporting unlimited sequential reads/writes without re-addressing.
All write operations complete within the I²C clock cycle - no internal write cycle, no tWR delay, and no need for ACK polling. The device uses Schmitt-triggered SDA/SCL inputs, open-drain SDA with slope control, and internally pulled-down A2–A0 and WP pins for deterministic boot-time configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 64 Kbit (8K × 8) - provides 8,192 bytes of byte-addressable nonvolatile storage |
| Interface | I²C (2-wire serial) - direct hardware replacement for EEPROM with same pinout and command set |
| Max clock frequency | 1 MHz - enables 10× faster write throughput vs. 100-kHz EEPROM in burst logging |
| Write endurance | 10¹⁴ cycles - supports >27,000 writes/sec continuously for 15 years without wear-out |
| Data retention | 151 years at +85 °C - eliminates periodic refresh or backup power requirements |
| Supply voltage | 2.7 V to 3.65 V - compatible with 3.3-V microcontroller I/O domains without level shifters |
| Operating temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for uncontrolled industrial environments including motor drives and PLCs |
Pinout & Package
FM24CL64B-G 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 share identical pin functions and electrical behavior.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A2 | Device select address inputs | Set lower 3 bits of 7-bit slave address (1010xxx); internally pulled down - default address 0x50 when all grounded |
| SDA | Serial data/address bidirectional line | Open-drain I²C bus line with Schmitt trigger input and controlled-slope output; requires external pull-up |
| SCL | Serial clock input | Master-generated clock; rising edge samples data, falling edge outputs data; Schmitt-triggered for noise immunity |
| WP | Hardware write protect | Active-high; ties entire memory map to read-only when pulled to VDD; internally pulled down |
| VSS | Ground reference | System ground connection; must be low-impedance path for stable I²C signaling and F-RAM switching |
| VDD | Power supply | 2.7–3.65 V supply; powers logic and ferroelectric array; no internal charge pump required for writes |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NoDelay™ write architecture | Writes complete within I²C clock cycle - eliminates software polling and system-level timeout handling |
| Ferroelectric memory process | Enables 100 trillion write cycles without degradation - removes EEPROM wear-leveling firmware overhead |
| Low-power write operation | 100 µA active current at 100 kHz - avoids voltage boosting circuitry and reduces peak current draw vs. EEPROM |
| I²C timing compatibility | Supports 100 kHz, 400 kHz, and 1 MHz modes - allows drop-in upgrade in existing EEPROM-based designs |
| Industrial-grade reliability | Guaranteed operation across –40 °C to +85 °C with no derating - suitable for embedded controllers in harsh environments |

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 (Microchip) | 64-Kbit I²C EEPROM with 1-MHz support; 1M write cycles; 10 ms typical write time | Lacks NoDelay™ writes - requires polling or fixed delays; unsuitable for high-frequency logging | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs write performance and endurance requirements |
| MB85RC64T (Fujitsu) | 64-Kbit I²C FRAM with identical 10¹⁴ endurance and 151-yr retention; same 2.7–3.65 V range | Pin-compatible but uses different slave address (0x50–0x57 configurable via A0–A2); identical SOIC-8 footprint | Valid functional alternative with same timing and reliability - verify address mapping in firmware |
Compared with AT24C64D-SSHM-T, FM24CL64B-G eliminates write latency and extends lifetime by 100 million times; versus MB85RC64T, it offers identical core specs but differs in manufacturer-specific qualification testing and long-term supply chain commitments.

FAQ
Is FM24CL64B-G pin-compatible with standard I²C EEPROMs like AT24C64?
Yes - FM24CL64B-G uses identical 8-pin SOIC and DFN footprints and matches the standard I²C EEPROM pinout (A0–A2, SDA, SCL, WP, VDD, VSS). Its slave address (0x50–0x57) aligns with the AT24C64 family, enabling direct PCB-level replacement without layout changes.
Does FM24CL64B-G require special I²C timing or firmware modifications?
No - it supports standard I²C START/STOP, ACK/NACK, and addressing protocols. Firmware written for EEPROM works unchanged, though polling loops can be removed since writes complete synchronously with the I²C clock cycle.
How does the WP pin function, and what happens when it's left floating?
The WP pin is internally pulled down; leaving it unconnected defaults to write-enable mode. Tying WP to VDD activates full-memory hardware write protection. This behavior is deterministic and requires no external pull-down resistor.
Can FM24CL64B-G operate reliably at 2.7 V while sustaining 1-MHz I²C communication?
Yes - datasheet AC switching characteristics are fully specified down to 2.7 V, including tLOW, tHIGH, and setup/hold times. At 2.7 V, maximum supported I²C frequency remains 1 MHz, with no derating required for timing compliance.
