Product details
Overview
FM25640B-G from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 64-Kbit serial SPI F-RAM organized as 8K × 8, featuring NoDelay™ writes, 1014 read/write endurance, and 151-year data retention. It operates at up to 20 MHz SPI clock, supports modes 0 and 3, and functions as a hardware drop-in replacement for serial EEPROM and flash in industrial control and data logging systems.
For engineers reviewing the FM25640B-G datasheet, FM25640B-G pinout, FM25640B-G application, or FM25640B-G equivalent, key selection criteria include write-cycle speed without polling, guaranteed industrial temperature operation (–40 °C to +85 °C), SOIC-8 package compatibility, and hardware/software write protection via WP pin and status register.
Technical Context
The FM25640B-G implements ferroelectric memory technology enabling true RAM-like write behavior with nonvolatile retention. Its internal architecture includes an 8K × 8 F-RAM array, 3-bit status register with WPEN control, and dedicated instruction decoder supporting WREN, WRDI, RDSR, WRSR, READ, and WRITE opcodes.
It operates exclusively as an SPI slave device with synchronous full-duplex communication. All data transfers use MSB-first format; address fields are 13-bit with upper 3 bits ignored. The HOLD pin enables transaction suspension without clock or CS dependency, provided transitions occur only when SCK is LOW.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 64 Kbit (8,192 × 8 bytes); enables byte-level random access without page erase overhead |
| SPI Speed | Up to 20 MHz; supports real-time data capture at bus speed without wait states |
| Endurance | 1014 read/write cycles; eliminates wear leveling firmware in high-write-rate applications |
| Data Retention | 151 years at +85 °C; ensures long-term reliability without refresh or backup power |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with legacy 5 V microcontroller I/O domains |
| Operating Temp | –40 °C to +85 °C; qualified for industrial automation and metering environments |
| Active Current | 250 µA at 1 MHz; reduces system power budget during frequent memory access |
Pinout & Package
FM25640B-G is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package with standard 150-mil body width and 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable; places device in standby (4 µA) when HIGH; initiates opcode decoding on falling edge |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Synchronizes all I/O; inputs latched on rising edge, outputs driven on falling edge |
| SI | Serial input | Receives opcodes, addresses, and write data; must be held valid during active CS to meet IDD spec |
| SO | Serial output | Drives read data and status register contents; tristated when CS HIGH or HOLD LOW |
| WP | Write protect input | Hardware lock for status register when WPEN = 1; must be tied to VDD if unused |
| HOLD | Transaction suspend input | Pauses ongoing read/write without losing internal state; requires SCK LOW during transition |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all internal circuitry and I/O drivers |
| VDD | Power supply | 5 V nominal supply; powers core logic, F-RAM array, and I/O buffers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NoDelay™ write execution | Writes complete within one SPI byte transfer; no polling or timeout handling required in host firmware |
| Hardware + software write protection | Combines WP pin control with software-configurable block protection (1/4, 1/2, or full array) |
| SPI mode compatibility | Supports both Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1) for broad MCU interoperability |
| Low-power standby | 4 µA typical current draw when CS HIGH; enables energy-efficient duty-cycled data logging |
| Ferroelectric process reliability | Eliminates charge-pump circuits and erase cycles; avoids flash/EEPROM failure mechanisms under thermal stress |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial nonvolatile memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT25DF041A-SSH-T | 4 Mbit serial NOR flash; requires 25 ms sector erase before write; 100k endurance | Lacks true byte-write capability; unsuitable for sub-millisecond update rates | Select only if cost-per-bit is primary and write frequency is <100x/day |
| BR24G64FJ-WE2 | 64 Kbit I²C EEPROM; 1 MHz max interface; 1M endurance; 40 µs write time per byte | Slower interface and lower endurance limit continuous logging duration | Prefer for space-constrained designs where I²C bus is already present and write rate is low |
Compared with AT25DF041A-SSH-T and BR24G64FJ-WE2, FM25640B-G delivers deterministic sub-microsecond write latency, 100 million × higher endurance, and seamless SPI drop-in compatibility-making it uniquely suited for high-frequency, mission-critical nonvolatile storage.

FAQ
Is FM25640B-G pin-compatible with standard SOIC-8 SPI EEPROMs?
Yes-FM25640B-G uses identical 8-pin SOIC packaging and matches the pinout of industry-standard SPI EEPROMs (CS, SCK, SI, SO, WP, HOLD, VSS, VDD). No PCB redesign is needed for drop-in replacement, though firmware must be updated to remove write polling loops due to NoDelay™ operation.
Does FM25640B-G require external high-voltage programming circuitry?
No-FM25640B-G performs all write operations at standard VDD (4.5–5.5 V) without charge pumps or elevated voltages. This eliminates external HV generators, reduces board area, and improves system reliability compared to EEPROM and flash devices requiring >10 V for programming.
How does the HOLD pin behave during an active write operation?
When HOLD is pulled LOW during a write, the FM25640B-G suspends the transaction immediately and holds internal state. SCK and CS are ignored until HOLD returns HIGH while SCK is LOW. Upon resumption, the device continues the same write from the exact byte position-no data corruption or restart required.
Can FM25640B-G operate reliably at 5.5 V supply with –40 °C ambient temperature?
Yes-the device is fully specified across the entire industrial range: VDD = 4.5 V to 5.5 V and TA = –40 °C to +85 °C. Electrical characteristics including 20 MHz SPI timing, 4 µA standby current, and 1014 endurance are guaranteed at these extremes, with no derating required.
