Product details
Overview
FM25V10-GTR 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 at up to 40 MHz over 2.0–3.6 V, supports SPI modes 0 and 3, and replaces serial flash/EEPROM in real-time data logging systems requiring rapid nonvolatile writes.
For engineers reviewing the FM25V10-GTR datasheet, FM25V10-GTR pinout, FM25V10-GTR application, or FM25V10-GTR equivalent, key selection criteria include write latency (zero wait states), industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), hardware/software write protection, unique serial number capability (FM25VN10 variant), and RoHS-compliant 8-pin SOIC/DFN packaging.
Technical Context
The FM25V10 implements a synchronous SPI slave interface with no internal write cycles or polling-data commits immediately upon byte transfer completion. Its ferroelectric memory array eliminates erase-before-write overhead and enables true byte-level random access without block management.
It integrates a nonvolatile status register with configurable block protection (1/4, 1/2, or full array), hardware WP pin control, and device identification logic delivering manufacturer ID, product ID, and (on FM25VN10) a factory-programmed unique serial number.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Interface | SPI slave, modes 0 and 3; compatible with standard MCU hardware SPI peripherals |
| Max Clock Frequency | 40 MHz; enables ≤25 ns per bit transfer, achieving ~4 MB/s effective throughput |
| Write Endurance | 1014 cycles; supports continuous logging for >30 years at 10k writes/sec without wear-out |
| Data Retention | 151 years at +85°C; guaranteed nonvolatile storage without refresh or backup power |
| Supply Voltage | 2.0 V to 3.6 V; interoperable with 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic domains without level shifting |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial control, metering, and automotive body electronics |
Pinout & Package
FM25V10-GTR is available in RoHS-compliant 8-pin SOIC (3.9 mm × 4.9 mm) and 8-pin DFN (5 mm × 6 mm) packages. Both variants 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; initiates all opcodes on falling edge |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Synchronizes all SI/SO transfers; rising edge latches input, falling edge drives output |
| SI | Serial input | Receives opcodes, addresses, and write data; must be driven to valid logic level at all times |
| SO | Serial output | Drives read data and status bits; high-impedance 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 without losing internal state; requires SCK LOW during transition |
| VDD | Power supply | 2.0–3.6 V core supply; decoupling capacitor required per layout guidelines |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path; separate analog/digital grounding not required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial nonvolatile memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MB85RS1MT-FPN-GE1 | 1 Mbit FRAM, 40 MHz SPI, but only 1012 endurance and no unique serial number | Lacks device ID readout and serial number; limited to basic logging where traceability is not required | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 100× higher endurance or board-level serialization |
| AT25SF041-MAHD-T | 4 Mbit serial flash, 104 MHz QSPI, but requires erase cycles, 100k write endurance, and polling | Requires software erase management and timeout handling; unsuitable for sub-millisecond write-critical paths | Choose only when density >1 Mbit is mandatory and write frequency is low (<100 writes/hour) |
Compared with MB85RS1MT-FPN-GE1, FM25V10-GTR delivers 100× greater endurance and integrated serialization; versus AT25SF041-MAHD-T, it eliminates erase latency and extends lifetime by 109× in high-write environments-making it optimal for deterministic real-time logging.

Manufacturer
Cypress Semiconductor (now part of Infineon Technologies) designs high-reliability nonvolatile memory and programmable system-on-chip solutions for industrial, automotive, and IoT applications.

FAQ
Is FM25V10-GTR pin-compatible with standard SPI EEPROMs like AT25DF041?
Yes-FM25V10-GTR uses identical 8-pin SOIC/DFN footprints and SPI command set (including WREN, WRDI, RDSR, WRSR), enabling direct hardware replacement without PCB redesign. All timing parameters meet or exceed JEDEC-standard serial EEPROM requirements, and mode 0/3 compatibility ensures drop-in use with legacy drivers.
Does FM25V10-GTR require external high-voltage programming or special write sequences?
No-FM25V10-GTR performs writes at bus speed using standard SPI transactions. Unlike flash or EEPROM, it needs no pre-erase cycles, no high-voltage pulses, and no status polling. A write completes within one SPI frame (8 clocks per byte), and the next instruction may begin immediately after CS deassertion.
Can the HOLD pin be left unconnected in a simple microcontroller design?
No-HOLD has a weak internal pull-up but must be tied to VDD if unused. Leaving it floating risks unintended suspension of memory operations due to noise coupling, especially in electrically noisy industrial environments. Cypress explicitly recommends hard-wiring HOLD to VDD unless actively used for multi-task arbitration.
What is the functional difference between FM25V10-GTR and FM25VN10-GTR?
FM25VN10-GTR adds a factory-programmed 64-bit unique serial number accessible via dedicated opcode (0x4B), while FM25V10-GTR omits this feature. Both share identical memory density, timing, endurance, and pinout. The 'N' suffix denotes serialization capability-required for traceability in regulated medical or aerospace deployments.
