Description
The FM24C16A is a 16-kilobit nonvolatile memory employing an advanced ferroelectric process. A
ferroelectric random access memory or FRAM is nonvolatile and performs reads and writes like a
RAM. It provides reliable data retention for over 45 years while eliminating the complexities, overhead, and system level reliability problems caused by EEPROM and other nonvolatile memories.
