Product details
Overview
FM25V02-GTR from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256-Kbit (32 K × 8) serial SPI F-RAM nonvolatile memory with NoDelay™ writes, 1014 read/write endurance, and 151-year data retention. It operates from 2.0 V to 3.6 V over –40 °C to +85 °C and replaces serial EEPROM/flash in real-time data logging, industrial control registers, and metering calibration storage.
For engineers reviewing the FM25V02-GTR datasheet, FM25V02-GTR pinout, FM25V02-GTR application, or FM25V02-GTR equivalent, key selection criteria include write latency (zero wait states), SPI mode 0/3 compatibility, hardware/software write protection granularity, and industrial-grade voltage/temperature margins.
Technical Context
The FM25V02-GTR implements a ferroelectric memory array accessed via standard SPI protocol with no internal write cycles or polling-data commits at bus speed. Its status register controls block protection (1/4, 1/2, or full array), WPEN bit enables hardware write protect, and Device ID provides manufacturer/product identification.
It supports dual-package options: 8-pin SOIC and 8-pin DFN, both with identical pin functions and timing. The HOLD pin suspends ongoing transfers without clock interruption, and CS deactivation places the device in 90 µA standby mode-critical for low-power edge nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory density | 256 Kbit (32 K × 8) - supports up to 32,768 unique byte-addressable locations |
| Interface | SPI (modes 0 and 3) - direct drop-in replacement for legacy SPI EEPROM/flash without firmware changes |
| Max clock frequency | 40 MHz - enables 4 MB/s sustained write throughput with zero latency per byte |
| Write endurance | 1014 cycles - 100 million × higher than typical EEPROM, enabling continuous sensor logging |
| Data retention | 151 years at +85 °C - guaranteed nonvolatile storage without refresh or wear leveling |
| Supply voltage | 2.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 2.5 V and 3.3 V microcontroller I/O domains |
| Operating temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial control, smart metering, and factory automation |
Pinout & Package
FM25V02-GTR is available in two RoHS-compliant packages: 8-pin SOIC (3.9 mm × 4.9 mm) and 8-pin DFN (2 mm × 3 mm). Both share identical pin mapping and electrical behavior.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable; places device in standby (90 µA) when HIGH, initiates all SPI transactions on falling edge |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Synchronizes all SI/SO transfers; inputs latched on rising edge, outputs driven on falling edge |
| SI | Serial input | Receives opcodes, addresses, and write data; must be driven to valid logic level to meet IDD specs |
| SO | Serial output | Drives read data and status bits; tristated during HOLD or when CS is HIGH |
| WP | Write protect input | Hardware lock for status register writes when WPEN = 1; must tie to VDD if unused |
| HOLD | Bus hold input | Suspends active SPI transfer without clock stoppage; transitions only allowed while SCK = LOW |
| VDD | Power supply | 2.0–3.6 V core and I/O supply; decoupling capacitor required per datasheet layout guidelines |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NoDelay™ write architecture | Eliminates write polling and timeout handling-byte-level writes complete before next SPI clock cycle |
| 1014 endurance | Supports >27,000 writes/sec continuously for 10+ years-enables high-frequency telemetry buffering |
| Hardware + software write protection | WP pin blocks status register writes; WRSR instruction configures 1/4, 1/2, or full-array lock |
| SPI mode 0/3 compatibility | Interoperates with STM32, PIC, and NXP MCUs without clock polarity/inversion configuration changes |
| Low-power sleep mode | 5 µA quiescent current-extends battery life in portable data loggers and wireless sensors |
Applications

Use Value: 40 MHz SPI enables sub-millisecond parameter saves after each driving cycle-no missed updates due to flash erase delays. |
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 | Fujitsu 2-Mbit FRAM; same 2.0–3.6 V, –40 °C to +85 °C, but 50 MHz max SPI clock and 16-pin SOP package | Higher density (2 Mbit) suits larger configuration sets; larger footprint limits space-constrained designs | Select when >256 Kbit capacity is required and board area permits 16-pin SOP |
| AT25DF041A-SHN-T | Microchip 4-Mbit serial NOR flash; requires 25 ms erase/write cycles, 100K endurance, 20-year retention | Lacks zero-latency writes; unsuitable for burst logging or power-fail-safe capture | Accept only where cost dominates and write frequency is <100×/day |
Compared with MB85RS2MT-FPN-GE1 and AT25DF041A-SHN-T, FM25V02-GTR uniquely delivers 1014 endurance with true bus-speed writes and 151-year retention in an industry-standard 8-pin SOIC/DFN-making it optimal for high-cycle, time-critical industrial and medical data capture.

FAQ
Is FM25V02-GTR pin-compatible with standard SPI EEPROMs like AT25XXX series?
Yes-FM25V02-GTR uses identical 8-pin SOIC/DFN footprints and SPI command set (WREN, WRITE, READ, RDSR, WRSR) as common serial EEPROMs. No PCB redesign is needed; firmware requires only removal of write-polling loops due to NoDelay™ operation.
Does FM25V02-GTR require external high-voltage programming circuitry?
No-it operates entirely from a single 2.0–3.6 V supply. Unlike EEPROM or flash, F-RAM writes use standard I/O voltage levels with no charge pumps or elevated programming voltages, simplifying power design and reducing BOM count.
How does the HOLD pin function during an active SPI transaction?
When HOLD is pulled LOW during any SPI operation (read, write, or status access), the FM25V02-GTR immediately suspends data transfer and ignores further SCK/CS edges. The transaction resumes from the exact bit position when HOLD returns HIGH-enabling CPU context switching without data corruption.
Can FM25V02-GTR be used in systems with mixed 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic?
Yes-the device accepts VDD from 2.0 V to 3.6 V and maintains full SPI timing compliance across this range. Its I/O pins are CMOS-compatible and tolerate 3.3 V signals even at 2.5 V VDD, enabling seamless interface with mixed-voltage microcontrollers.
