Description
The FM25C160 is a 16-kilobit nonvolatile memory employing an advanced ferroelectric process. A ferroelectric random access memory or FRAM is nonvolatile but operates in other respects as a RAM. It provides reliable data retention for years while eliminating the complexities, overhead, and system level reliability problems caused by EEPROM and other nonvolatile memories.
