Product details
Overview
FM25V10-G from Cypress Semiconductor is a 1-Mbit (128K × 8) serial SPI ferroelectric RAM (F-RAM) with NoDelay™ writes, 1014 read/write endurance, and 151-year data retention. It operates from 2.0 V to 3.6 V across –40 °C to +85 °C, supports 40-MHz SPI (modes 0 and 3), and replaces serial EEPROM/flash in high-write-cycle data logging systems.
For engineers reviewing the FM25V10-G datasheet, FM25V10-G pinout, FM25V10-G application, or FM25V10-G equivalent, key selection criteria include write latency independence from bus speed, hardware/software write protection granularity (1/4, 1/2, full array), unique serial number (FM25VN10 variant), and industrial-grade reliability without wear leveling overhead.
Technical Context
The FM25V10-G implements a synchronous SPI slave interface with zero-latency write execution: data commits immediately upon byte transfer completion-no polling or internal write cycles required. Its ferroelectric memory array eliminates charge-pump-based programming delays inherent in flash/EEPROM.
It integrates dual write protection layers: hardware-level WP pin control (active-low, tied to VDD if unused) and software-configurable status register bits enabling block-level protection. The device also embeds read-only Manufacturer ID, Product ID, and (in FM25VN10) a unique 64-bit serial number for system traceability.

Pinout & Package
FM25V10-G is available in two RoHS-compliant packages: 8-pin SOIC (3.9 mm × 4.9 mm) and 8-pin DFN (2 mm × 3 mm) with exposed pad (NC). Both share identical pin functions and electrical behavior.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable; places device in standby (90 µA) when HIGH; must fall before each opcode |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Synchronizes all I/O; rising edge latches SI, falling edge drives SO; supports 0–40 MHz, interruptible |
| SI | Serial input | Receives opcodes, addresses, and write data; sampled on SCK rising edge; must be driven valid |
| SO | Serial output | Drives read data and status on SCK falling edge; tristated when CS HIGH or HOLD LOW |
| WP | Write protect input | Hardware lock for status register writes when WPEN = 1; must tie to VDD if unused |
| HOLD | Operation suspend input | Pauses ongoing read/write when LOW; requires SCK LOW during transition; internal weak pull-up |
| VDD | Power supply | 2.0–3.6 V core and I/O supply; decoupling capacitor required per layout guidelines |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path; must connect to system ground plane with low-inductance routing |
Key Features

| SPI mode compatibility | Supports both Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1) for drop-in replacement in legacy designs |
Applications
| Industrial Data Logger | Smart Meter Firmware Storage |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile serial memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT25DF041A-SSH-T | 4-Mbit SPI flash; requires 25 ms page program time; 100k write cycles; no built-in serial number | Acceptable for infrequent firmware updates but unsuitable for high-frequency data logging due to write latency | Select only if cost-per-bit is primary and write frequency < 10×/hour |
| BR24G128FJ-WE2 | 128-Kbit I²C EEPROM; 1 MHz max clock; 1M write cycles; 200 ms write time; VDD = 1.7–5.5 V | Limited bandwidth and endurance make it inadequate for continuous logging; better for static configuration storage | Choose for ultra-low-power sleep mode (< 1 µA) where write speed and cycle count are secondary |
Compared with AT25DF041A-SSH-T and BR24G128FJ-WE2, FM25V10-G delivers 100 million× higher endurance and eliminates write latency-critical for deterministic data capture-but trades off higher unit cost and lower density than flash alternatives.

FAQ
Is FM25V10-G pin-compatible with standard SPI EEPROMs or flash devices?
Yes-FM25V10-G uses an industry-standard 8-pin SOIC or DFN package with identical pinout (CS, SCK, SI, SO, WP, HOLD, VDD, VSS) and SPI command set as common serial EEPROMs and flash. It supports SPI modes 0 and 3, enabling direct hardware replacement without PCB redesign.
Does FM25V10-G require special initialization or firmware drivers?
No-FM25V10-G behaves electrically and logically like a standard SPI memory device. Standard SPI read/write opcodes (0x03, 0x02) are used; no special initialization sequence or wear-leveling driver is needed. Its NoDelay™ writes simplify firmware by removing polling loops and timeout handling.
What is the function of the HOLD pin, and when should it be used?
The HOLD pin suspends ongoing memory operations (read or write) when pulled LOW, allowing the host MCU to service higher-priority interrupts without data corruption. Transitions must occur while SCK is LOW. It is commonly used in real-time systems where deterministic response to external events is critical.
How does FM25V10-G achieve 151-year data retention at +85 °C?
This retention is guaranteed by Cypress's ferroelectric capacitor technology, which stores data as polarization states in lead zirconate titanate (PZT) film-not trapped charge in floating gates. Unlike flash/EEPROM, PZT polarization decay follows Arrhenius kinetics with extremely low activation energy, enabling multi-century retention at elevated temperatures.
