Product details
Overview
FM25640B-GTR from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 64-Kbit serial SPI F-RAM organized as 8K × 8, delivering NoDelay™ writes, 1014 read/write endurance, and 151-year data retention at industrial temperature (–40 °C to +85 °C). It operates at up to 20 MHz SPI clock, supports modes 0 and 3, and replaces serial EEPROM/flash in real-time data logging systems.
For engineers reviewing the FM25640B-GTR datasheet, FM25640B-GTR pinout, FM25640B-GTR application, or FM25640B-GTR equivalent, key selection criteria include write-cycle speed without polling, hardware/software write protection granularity, SOIC-8 package compatibility, and VDD = 4.5–5.5 V operation in embedded control and metering environments.
Technical Context
The FM25640B-GTR implements ferroelectric memory cell architecture enabling true byte-write capability at bus speed-no internal write cycle delay or status polling required. Its SPI interface handles opcodes (e.g., WREN, READ, WRITE) with 13-bit addressing (upper 3 bits ignored), and integrates a nonvolatile status register for block protection configuration.
Write protection is enforced via dual-layer control: hardware-level WP pin assertion (when WPEN=1) blocks status register writes, while software-configurable block protection (1/4, 1/2, or full array) uses the status register's BP0/BP1 bits. The device lacks internal power management beyond POR, requiring strict VDD regulation during active CS.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 64 Kbit (8K × 8); enables direct byte-addressable storage without page management overhead |
| Endurance | 1014 read/write cycles; supports >27,000 writes/sec continuously for 10+ years in data-logging nodes |
| Data retention | 151 years at +85 °C; eliminates periodic refresh or backup power requirements in sealed industrial sensors |
| SPI speed | Up to 20 MHz; achieves 2.5 MB/s peak throughput-5× faster than typical 4-MHz EEPROM writes |
| Supply voltage | VDD = 4.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with legacy 5 V microcontroller I/O without level shifting |
| Operating temp | –40 °C to +85 °C; qualified for use in motor drives, smart meters, and factory automation controllers |
| Active current | 250 µA at 1 MHz; reduces average power in battery-backed event recorders |
| Standby current | 4 µA (typ); enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in maintenance-free IoT endpoints |
Pinout & Package
FM25640B-GTR is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package with standard 150-mil body width and gull-wing leads. Pin spacing is 1.27 mm, compliant with IPC-7351B footprint MS-012AA.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable: must fall before each opcode; places device in standby (high-Z SO, 4 µA IDD) when high |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Synchronizes all I/O; rising edge latches SI, falling edge drives SO; supports 0–20 MHz with arbitrary pauses |
| SI | Serial input | Receives opcodes, addresses, and write data; must be driven to valid logic level even during idle to meet IDD spec |
| SO | Serial output | Drives read data on falling SCK edge; tristated when CS high or HOLD low; not shared with SI by default |
| WP | Write protect input | Hardware lock: when WPEN=1 in status register, LOW on WP blocks status register writes only-not memory writes |
| HOLD | Operation suspend input | Pauses ongoing read/write mid-transfer; requires SCK=LOW during transition; resumes automatically on HIGH |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power; must connect to system ground plane with low-inductance trace |
| VDD | Power supply | 4.5–5.5 V supply; powers core logic and F-RAM array; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 5 mm |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NoDelay™ write execution | Byte writes complete within one SPI frame-no internal timing delay or polling loop needed, eliminating firmware latency in time-critical logging |
| Ferroelectric memory cell | Enables 1014 endurance and 151-year retention without wear leveling or ECC, reducing host MCU processing load |
| Dual-mode SPI interface | Supports both Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1), ensuring interoperability with diverse microcontroller SPI peripherals |
| Configurable block protection | Software-selectable 1/4, 1/2, or full-array write lock via status register BP0/BP1 bits-enables secure parameter storage in field-upgradable devices |
| Hardware/software write protection | WP pin guards status register writes when enabled; SI-driven WREN/WRDI instructions control memory write latch-provides layered security against accidental overwrites |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial nonvolatile memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MB85RS64V | 64 Kbit FRAM, 1.8–3.6 V supply, 15 MHz max SPI, SOIC-8 but no HOLD pin | Requires level-shifting for 5 V systems; lacks HOLD for interrupt-safe logging; lower voltage range suits portable designs | Select when operating from 3.3 V rails and HOLD functionality is unnecessary |
| AT25DF041A | 4 Mbit serial flash, 2.7–3.6 V, 80 MHz DTR SPI, requires 25 ms page programming, 100k endurance | Higher density but slower writes, limited endurance, and voltage incompatibility with 5 V hosts | Choose only if cost-per-bit is primary and write frequency is low (<100 writes/day) |
Compared with MB85RS64V and AT25DF041A, FM25640B-GTR uniquely delivers 5 V compatibility, HOLD pin support for deterministic interrupt handling, and 109× higher endurance-making it optimal for high-write industrial and metering applications where 5 V infrastructure persists.

FAQ
Is FM25640B-GTR pin-compatible with standard SPI EEPROMs like AT25040?
Yes-FM25640B-GTR uses identical SOIC-8 pinout and SPI command set (WREN, WRITE, READ, RDSR) as AT25040, enabling drop-in replacement. However, it adds HOLD and WP pins not present on AT25040, which remain NC or tied to VDD in legacy designs. No PCB change is needed for basic read/write migration.
Does FM25640B-GTR require external high-voltage programming pulses?
No-FM25640B-GTR performs all writes using standard VDD (4.5–5.5 V) with no charge pumps or high-voltage generators. Unlike EEPROM or flash, it writes data immediately upon receiving each byte over SPI, eliminating the need for erase-before-write sequences or elevated programming voltages.
How does the HOLD pin behave during an active write operation?
When HOLD is pulled LOW during a write, the FM25640B-GTR suspends the current transaction after completing the current byte transfer. SCK and CS are ignored until HOLD returns HIGH, then the device resumes from the next address without data corruption. This enables deterministic interruption for higher-priority CPU tasks in real-time systems.
Can FM25640B-GTR be used in 3.3 V systems?
No-FM25640B-GTR is specified only for 4.5–5.5 V operation. Attempting 3.3 V supply violates absolute maximum ratings and causes undefined behavior, including failed writes and status register corruption. For 3.3 V designs, consider Infineon's MB85RS64V or Cypress' FM25V05 as functionally similar alternatives.
