Product details
Overview
FM25V10-PG 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 2.0–3.6 V over –40 °C to +85 °C and supports 40-MHz SPI modes 0 and 3. Used in industrial data loggers for real-time parameter storage where EEPROM write latency causes data loss.
For engineers reviewing the FM25V10-PG datasheet, FM25V10-PG pinout, FM25V10-PG application, or FM25V10-PG equivalent, key selection criteria include write-cycle endurance, zero-write-delay timing behavior, SPI bus compatibility with legacy EEPROM/flash firmware, and hardware write protection via WP pin.
Technical Context
The FM25V10-PG implements a synchronous SPI slave interface with dual-mode support (Mode 0 and Mode 3), latching inputs on SCK rising edge and driving outputs on falling edge. Its internal F-RAM array eliminates erase-before-write overhead, enabling immediate byte-level writes without polling.
It integrates a nonvolatile status register with configurable block protection (1/4, 1/2, or full array), hardware write protection via active-low WP pin, and device identification (Manufacturer ID + Product ID). The HOLD pin suspends ongoing transfers synchronously when SCK is low, preserving bus state during host interrupts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (128K × 8); supports byte- and page-write without erase cycles |
| Write Endurance | 1014 cycles; enables >100 years of daily 1000-write logging at 1 Hz |
| Data Retention | 151 years at 85 °C; no refresh required across industrial temperature range |
| SPI Speed | Up to 40 MHz; matches high-speed microcontroller SPI peripherals without timing margin loss |
| Supply Voltage | 2.0 V to 3.6 V; compatible with 3.3 V I/O domains and brown-out tolerant operation |
| Active Current | 300 µA at 1 MHz; reduces system power budget in battery-backed data capture |
| Standby Current | 90 µA typical; enables low-power sleep between sensor sampling intervals |
Pinout & Package
FM25V10-PG is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC package (PG suffix), with lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction and standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable; places device in standby and tristates SO when HIGH |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Synchronizes all SPI transfers; rising edge latches SI, falling edge drives SO |
| SI | Serial input | Receives opcodes, addresses, and write data; must be driven to valid logic level |
| 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; tie to VDD if unused |
| HOLD | Bus hold control | Suspends ongoing SPI transfer synchronously; transitions only allowed when SCK = LOW |
| VDD | Power supply | 2.0–3.6 V core and I/O supply; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
| VSS | Ground | System reference ground; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NoDelay™ write architecture | Eliminates write polling and timeout handling in firmware; next SPI transaction starts immediately after byte transfer |
| Ferroelectric memory cell | Enables 1014 write cycles - 100 million × more than standard EEPROM - with no wear leveling required |
| Dual SPI mode support | Interoperates with both Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1) masters without configuration change |
| Hardware/software write protection | Combines WP pin lock with software-configurable block protection (1/4, 1/2, or full array) for robust data integrity |
| Device ID and status register | Allows host to verify manufacturer, density, revision, and current protection state via standardized SPI commands |
Applications
| Industrial Data Logging | Smart Metering |

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 requires external VDD decoupling per JEDEC spec; no HOLD pin | Lacks suspend-on-HOLD capability; unsuitable for hosts requiring mid-transfer bus arbitration | Select when HOLD functionality is unused and board layout allows tighter decoupling |
| AT25DF041A-SSH-T | 4-Mbit serial flash, 85-MHz DTR mode, but 20-ms page-program time and 100k-cycle endurance | Requires firmware polling and wear leveling; incompatible with zero-latency write protocols | Select only when density >1 Mbit is mandatory and write frequency is <100×/day |
Compared with MB85RS1MT-FPN-GE1 and AT25DF041A-SSH-T, FM25V10-PG uniquely delivers guaranteed sub-microsecond write commit, 1014-cycle endurance, and synchronous HOLD suspension - making it the only choice for deterministic, high-frequency, mission-critical logging.

FAQ
Is FM25V10-PG pin-compatible with standard SPI EEPROMs like AT25XXX?
Yes - FM25V10-PG uses identical 8-pin SOIC pinout and SPI command set (WREN, WRDI, RDSR, WRSR, READ, WRITE) as industry-standard serial EEPROMs. Firmware migration requires only recompilation; no PCB or schematic changes are needed.
Does FM25V10-PG require special PCB layout considerations compared to flash memory?
No special high-speed routing is needed, but a 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor must be placed within 5 mm of VDD/VSS pins. Unlike flash, no large bulk capacitance is required since write current is continuous and low (300 µA active), not pulsed.
Can the HOLD pin be left unconnected?
No - HOLD has a weak internal pull-up, but Cypress specifies tying it to VDD if unused to prevent unintended bus suspension from noise coupling. Leaving it floating risks spurious hold activation during ESD events or signal crosstalk.
What is the functional difference between FM25V10-PG and FM25VN10-PG?
FM25VN10-PG adds a factory-programmed unique 64-bit serial number and extended device ID register. FM25V10-PG lacks this feature but shares identical memory array, timing, endurance, and pinout - making it suitable for cost-sensitive applications where board-level serialization is unnecessary.
