Product details
Overview
FM25V05-GTR from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 512-Kbit (64K × 8) serial SPI ferroelectric RAM (F-RAM) with no write delay, 1014 read/write endurance, and 151-year data retention at +85 °C. It operates from 2.0 V to 3.6 V across –40 °C to +85 °C and delivers true byte-write capability at up to 40 MHz SPI clock speed - enabling real-time nonvolatile logging in industrial controllers and metering systems.
For engineers reviewing the FM25V05-GTR datasheet, FM25V05-GTR pinout, FM25V05-GTR application, or FM25V05-GTR equivalent, key selection criteria include write-cycle latency, endurance under frequent update loads, SPI mode 0/3 compatibility, hardware/software write protection granularity, and SOIC-8 footprint compatibility with legacy EEPROM/flash replacements.
Technical Context
The FM25V05-GTR implements a synchronous SPI slave interface supporting modes 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) and 3 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1), with data latched on SCK rising edge and output on falling edge. Its internal F-RAM array eliminates erase-before-write overhead, enabling immediate byte-level writes without polling.
Write protection is implemented via dual-layer control: hardware-level WP pin gating of status register writes when WPEN = 1, and software-configurable block protection (1/4, 1/2, or full array) through the nonvolatile status register. Device ID includes manufacturer ID (0x01) and product ID (0x50).
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
FM25V05-GTR is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package with standard 150-mil body width and 1.27-mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked with a dot or notch; pin numbering follows JEDEC MS-012AA.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable; places device in standby (90 µA) when HIGH; requires falling edge before each opcode |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Synchronizes all SPI transfers; rising edge latches SI, falling edge drives SO; supports 0–40 MHz |
| 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 when CS HIGH or HOLD LOW |
| WP | Write protect input | Hardware gate for status register writes when WPEN = 1; must tie to VDD if unused |
| HOLD | Operation suspend input | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer when pulled LOW while SCK is LOW; weak internal pull-up |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all digital and analog circuitry; must connect to system ground |
| VDD | Power supply | Primary 2.0–3.6 V supply; powers core logic, F-RAM array, and I/O buffers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NoDelay™ write architecture | Eliminates write polling and timeout handling in firmware; enables deterministic sub-microsecond byte commits |
| Ferroelectric memory cell | Provides intrinsic nonvolatility without charge pumps or high-voltage programming; avoids flash wear leveling complexity |
| Hardware + software write protection | WP pin blocks status register modification; software block protection prevents accidental overwrite of critical configuration sectors |
| Device ID register | Returns fixed Manufacturer ID (0x01) and Product ID (0x50) via RDID command; enables runtime part validation in multi-device systems |
| SPI mode 0/3 compatibility | Interoperates with common MCU SPI peripherals (e.g., STM32, PIC, MSP430) without custom timing adjustments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial nonvolatile memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MB85RS512L | 512 Kbit FRAM, 3.0–3.6 V only, max 20 MHz SPI, no HOLD pin | Lacks hold functionality and wider VDD range; unsuitable for brownout-prone or mixed-voltage systems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 2.0 V operation or interrupt-safe transfers |
| AT25DF041A | 4 Mbit serial NOR flash, 2.7–3.6 V, 85 MHz, requires 25 ms erase/write cycles | Lower endurance (~100k cycles), write latency introduces risk of data loss during power loss | Choose only for high-density storage where infrequent updates and erase tolerance are acceptable |
Compared with MB85RS512L and AT25DF041A, FM25V05-GTR uniquely combines 2.0–3.6 V operation, 40 MHz zero-latency writes, and 1014 endurance - making it the sole option for mission-critical, high-update-rate industrial logging where power integrity cannot be guaranteed.

FAQ
Is FM25V05-GTR pin-compatible with standard SOIC-8 SPI EEPROMs like AT25DF041A?
Yes - FM25V05-GTR uses identical SOIC-8 pinout (CS, SCK, SI, SO, WP, HOLD, VSS, VDD) and supports same SPI modes 0/3, enabling direct PCB-level replacement. No layout changes are needed, though firmware must remove write-polling loops due to NoDelay™ operation.
Does FM25V05-GTR require external high-voltage programming circuitry?
No - unlike EEPROM or flash, FM25V05-GTR uses ferroelectric memory cells that switch polarization states at standard I/O voltage (2.0–3.6 V). No charge pump, no erase cycle, and no high-voltage generator are required, simplifying power design and reducing BOM count.
How does the HOLD pin function during active SPI transfers?
When HOLD is pulled LOW while SCK is LOW, the FM25V05-GTR suspends the current SPI transaction (read or write) and tri-states SO. SCK and CS are ignored until HOLD returns HIGH, allowing the host CPU to service higher-priority interrupts without data corruption or bus contention.
What is the minimum pulse width requirement for the CS signal?
The datasheet specifies a minimum CS active pulse width of 100 ns. Each opcode must begin with a falling edge on CS, and CS must remain LOW for the full duration of the instruction - including opcode, address, and data bytes - plus one extra SCK cycle before going HIGH.
