Ramtron Announces FM23MLD16, 8-Mbit and 3-volt Parallel Nonvolatile F-RAM in a 48-pin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) Package
The FM23MLD16 is an 8-Mbit, 3-volt, parallel nonvolatile RAM in a 48-pin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package that features fast access, virtually unlimited read/write cycles and low power consumption. The FM23MLD16 targets industrial control systems such as robotics, network RAID storage solutions, multi-function printers, auto navigation systems, and a host of other SRAM-based system designs. The FM23MLD16 is organized as a 512K x 16 nonvolatile memory, accessed with an industry standard parallel interface. Access time is 60ns and cycle time is 115ns. The FM23MLD16 offers superior performance over battery-backed SRAM (BBSRAM), as it does not require a battery for data backup. The FM23MLD16 is a true surface-mount solution, requiring no rework steps for battery attachment and, unlike battery-backed SRAM, is highly resistant to moisture, shock and vibration, making F-RAM ideal for harsh industrial applications…
