Product details
Overview
FM25V20-GTR from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 2-Mbit serial SPI F-RAM memory organized as 256 K × 8, operating at up to 40 MHz with 2.0–3.6 V supply, 1014 write endurance, and 151-year data retention. It serves as a hardware-compatible nonvolatile memory replacement for serial flash/EEPROM in real-time data logging and industrial control systems where rapid, delay-free writes are critical.
For engineers reviewing the FM25V20-GTR datasheet, FM25V20-GTR pinout, FM25V20-GTR application, or FM25V20-GTR equivalent, key selection criteria include NoDelay™ write performance, SPI Mode 0/3 compatibility, hardware/software write protection, industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +85 °C), and dual-package availability (SOIC-8/TDFN-8).
Technical Context
The FM25V20-GTR implements ferroelectric memory technology enabling true RAM-like random access with nonvolatile data retention. Its SPI interface supports full-duplex communication at up to 40 MHz, with inputs latched on SCK rising edge and outputs driven on falling edge in both Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1).
Internal architecture includes an 18-bit address counter, nonvolatile status register with WPEN bit, device ID register (Manufacturer ID 0x01, Product ID 0x20), and dedicated HOLD/CS-controlled transaction suspension. Write operations complete within one SPI byte transfer cycle-no polling or erase cycles required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (256 K × 8), directly addressable via 18-bit SPI address field |
| Interface Speed | Up to 40 MHz SPI clock - enables ~5 MB/s sequential write throughput |
| Write Endurance | 1014 read/write cycles - supports >27,000 writes/sec continuously for 10+ years |
| Data Retention | 151 years at +85 °C - guaranteed nonvolatile storage without refresh or backup power |
| Supply Voltage | 2.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic domains without level shifting |
| Operating Temp | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial control, metering, and automotive body electronics |

Pinout & Package
FM25V20-GTR is available in two RoHS-compliant packages: 8-pin SOIC (3.9 mm × 4.9 mm) and 8-pin TDFN (3 mm × 2 mm) with exposed pad (unconnected). Both packages share identical pin functions and ordering code suffix "-GTR" denotes tape-and-reel packaging.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable; places device in standby (100 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 |
| SI | Serial input | Receives opcodes, addresses, and write data; sampled on SCK rising edge |
| SO | Serial output | Drives read data and status bits on SCK falling edge; high-impedance when CS HIGH or HOLD LOW |
| WP | Write protect input | Hardware lock for status register when WPEN=1; must be tied to VDD if unused |
| HOLD | Operation suspend input | Pauses ongoing read/write when pulled LOW while SCK is LOW; resumes on next CS fall |
| 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 internal circuitry and I/O; separate analog/digital ground not required |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial nonvolatile memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY14B102QN-SP | Same F-RAM core, but 2.7–3.6 V only; no 2.0 V support; TQFP-44 package | Requires higher VDD; unsuitable for 2.5 V systems or space-constrained layouts | Select only if existing design uses TQFP footprint and operates ≥2.7 V |
| AT25SF041-SSHD-B | 4 Mbit SPI flash; requires 25 ms page program time; 100k write cycles; no NoDelay™ | Needs firmware polling and wear leveling; incompatible with burst-write timing constraints | Acceptable only for infrequent configuration storage where write latency <100 ms is tolerable |
Compared with CY14B102QN-SP and AT25SF041-SSHD-B, FM25V20-GTR uniquely delivers 2.0 V operation, 1014 endurance, and zero-latency writes in compact SOIC/TDFN packages - making it the sole choice for high-frequency data capture in power-sensitive industrial and medical systems.

FAQ
Is FM25V20-GTR pin-compatible with standard SPI EEPROMs like AT25DF041?
Yes - FM25V20-GTR uses identical SOIC-8 and TDFN-8 footprints and SPI command set (WREN, WRDI, RDSR, WRSR, READ, WRITE) as legacy serial EEPROMs. No PCB redesign is needed; only firmware timing adjustments are eliminated due to NoDelay™ writes.
Does FM25V20-GTR require external high-voltage programming or erase pulses?
No - FM25V20-GTR performs all write and erase operations using only the standard 2.0–3.6 V VDD supply. There is no need for charge pumps, external VPP pins, or sector-erase commands. Each byte writes independently at bus speed.
How does the HOLD pin behave during an active write operation?
When HOLD is pulled LOW while SCK is LOW, the FM25V20-GTR immediately suspends the current write or read transaction. The internal address counter and status remain preserved. Operation resumes on the next falling edge of CS, continuing from the exact suspended byte position.
Can FM25V20-GTR be used in SPI multi-drop configurations with other slaves?
Yes - FM25V20-GTR operates as a standard SPI slave with dedicated CS input. Multiple FM25V20-GTR devices can share the same SCK, SI, and SO lines when each has its own CS signal routed from the master MCU GPIO.
