Product details
Overview
FM25V02A-DGQ from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256-Kbit (32K × 8) serial SPI ferroelectric RAM (F-RAM) with no write delay, 1014 read/write endurance, and guaranteed operation from –40 °C to +105 °C. It replaces serial EEPROM/flash in data-logging, industrial control, and metering systems where rapid nonvolatile writes are critical.
For engineers reviewing the FM25V02A-DGQ datasheet, FM25V02A-DGQ pinout, FM25V02A-DGQ application, or FM25V02A-DGQ equivalent, key selection criteria include SPI mode 0/3 compatibility, hardware/software write protection, 33-MHz max clock rate, low-power sleep mode (12 µA), and RoHS-compliant 8-pin DFN package.
Technical Context
The FM25V02A-DGQ implements a synchronous SPI slave interface supporting modes 0 and 3, with data latched on SCK rising edge and output on falling edge. Its ferroelectric memory array enables true byte-write capability at bus speed-no polling or erase cycles required.
Write protection is implemented via dedicated WP pin (hardware lock), WREN/WRDI instructions (latch control), and software-configurable block protection (1/4, 1/2, or full array). A nonvolatile status register stores protection settings and manufacturer/product ID for host identification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory density | 256 Kbit (32K × 8) - supports up to 32,768 unique byte-addressable locations |
| Interface | SPI slave, modes 0 & 3 - interoperable with standard microcontroller SPI peripherals without custom timing logic |
| Max clock frequency | 33 MHz - enables ~4 MB/s serial throughput for high-frequency logging |
| Write endurance | 1014 cycles - eliminates wear-leveling firmware overhead in cyclic data buffers |
| Data retention | 121 years at +85 °C - ensures long-term integrity without refresh or backup power |
| Supply voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3-V industrial and automotive power rails |
| Operating temperature | –40 °C to +105 °C - qualified for under-hood, factory-floor, and outdoor metering environments |
Pinout & Package
FM25V02A-DGQ is housed in an 8-pin dual flat no-leads (DFN) package with exposed pad (not connected). Pin functions are validated per Cypress Document 001-90844 Rev. *G.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SCK | Input | Serial clock input; all I/O synchronized to rising edge (mode 0/3); supports 0–33 MHz with interruptible clock |
| CS | Input | Active-low chip select; device enters standby and tri-states SO when HIGH |
| SI | Input | Serial data input (MOSI); sampled on SCK rising edge; must be driven to valid logic level for IDD compliance |
| SO | Output | Serial data output (MISO); driven only during read; tri-stated during HOLD or CS HIGH |
| WP | Input | Hardware write protect; blocks Status Register writes when LOW and WPEN = 1; must tie to VDD if unused |
| HOLD | Input | Operation suspend control; holds current transaction when LOW (SCK must be LOW during transition) |
| VSS | Power | Ground reference; must connect to system ground plane |
| VDD | Power | Primary supply input; powers internal logic and F-RAM array |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NoDelay™ writes | Immediate byte-write completion at bus speed - eliminates polling loops and reduces CPU overhead by >90% vs. EEPROM |
| Ferroelectric process | 1014 endurance and 121-year retention without charge-pump circuitry or erase blocks |
| Dual SPI mode support | Hardware compatibility with both mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1) controllers |
| Flexible write protection | Three-layer scheme: WP pin, WREN latch, and software-configurable block locks (1/4, 1/2, full array) |
| Low-power sleep mode | 12 µA quiescent current - extends battery life in portable and energy-harvested sensor nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial nonvolatile memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MB85RS2MT-FPN-GE1 | 2-Mbit FRAM, same 8-pin DFN, 40-MHz SPI, but requires 1.7–2.2 V supply | Not suitable for 3.3-V systems; lacks extended temperature rating (–40 °C to +85 °C only) | Select only for low-voltage, high-density upgrades with compatible rail and thermal envelope |
| AT25SF041-MAHD-T | 4-Mbit serial flash, 105-MHz DTR SPI, but requires erase before write and has 100k-cycle endurance | Introduces 25-ms erase latency and wear-leveling complexity; unsuitable for sub-100-µs write-critical paths | Use only when density >256 Kbit is mandatory and write frequency is <100×/hour |
Compared with MB85RS2MT-FPN-GE1 and AT25SF041-MAHD-T, FM25V02A-DGQ uniquely delivers 3.3-V operation, extended temperature support, and true zero-latency writes - making it the sole choice for high-cycle, mission-critical logging in industrial and medical systems.

FAQ
Is FM25V02A-DGQ pin-compatible with standard SPI EEPROMs like AT25DF041?
Yes - FM25V02A-DGQ uses the same 8-pin DFN footprint and SPI command set (WREN, WRITE, READ, RDSR) as industry-standard serial EEPROMs. Hardware replacement requires no PCB change, though firmware must disable polling since writes complete immediately after byte transfer.
Does FM25V02A-DGQ require external high-voltage programming circuitry?
No - unlike EEPROM and flash, FM25V02A-DGQ performs writes using standard VDD (2.7–3.6 V) with no charge pump or high-voltage generator. All operations execute at core logic voltage, simplifying power design and eliminating HV-related EMI and layout constraints.
How does the HOLD pin behave during an active write operation?
When HOLD is asserted LOW during a write, the FM25V02A suspends the ongoing transaction and ignores further SCK and CS transitions until HOLD returns HIGH. The internal address counter and latch state are preserved, allowing seamless resumption without reissuing the opcode or address.
Can the Device ID be read while the memory array is being written?
Yes - the Device ID (Manufacturer ID 0x01, Product ID 0x20) resides in a separate read-only register and is accessible via RDID command regardless of array activity. Hosts may safely identify the device during background writes without arbitration or timing constraints.
