FM25C160ULZEM8 is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component manufactured by Cypress Semiconductor. It belongs to the FM25C series of Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (FRAM) devices.
FRAM is a non-volatile memory technology that combines the advantages of both RAM and Flash memory. FM25C160ULZEM8 offers a storage capacity of 16 Kbit (or 2 Kbyte) and operates with a supply voltage of 2.7V to 3.6V.
Key features of FM25C160ULZEM8 include:
1. Non-volatile memory: FM25C160ULZEM8 utilizes FRAM technology, which allows it to retain data even when the power supply is disconnected. It provides high endurance with over 100 trillion write cycles and unlimited read cycles, making it ideal for applications that require frequent read and write operations.
2. Small form factor: The IC comes in an 8-pin SOIC package, which makes it compact and suitable for space-constrained designs.
3. High-speed operation: FM25C160ULZEM8 offers fast read and write access times, allowing for quick data retrieval and storage.
4. SPI interface: The IC communicates using the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol, which is a widely used interface in the industry. It supports clock frequencies up to 3.4 MHz, enabling efficient data transfer
