Cypress Semiconductor introduced a non-volatile data-logging solution with ultra-low power consumption. This solution is ideal for the latest-generation portable medical and wearable devices and other Internet of Things (IoT) applications that demand non-volatile memories to continuously log an increasing amount of user and sensor data while using as little power as possible.
Cypress’ new Excelon LP ferroelectric random access memory (F-RAM) delivers instant-write capabilities with virtually unlimited endurance, enabling these applications to perform mission-critical data logging requirements while maximising battery life. The Excelon LP series is available in a low-pin-count, small-footprint package that is suited for space-constrained, portable applications.
The Excelon LP series offers 4 Mb and 8 Mb industrial and commercial-grade densities with 50 MHz and 20 MHz serial peripheral interface (SPI) performance. The series reduces power consumption with 100 nA hibernate and 1 μA standby modes that greatly improve a battery-powered product’s user experience by extending system operating time. The Excelon family’s inherent instant writes also eliminate power failure ‘data-at-risk’ due to volatile data buffers in legacy memories.
The family features wide voltage operation from 1,71 V to 3,6 V and is available in RoHS-compliant, industry-standard packages that are pin compatible with EEPROMs and other non-volatile memories. Excelon LP F-RAMs provide 1000 trillion read/write cycle endurance with 10 years of data retention at 85°C or 151 years at 65°C.
