INFINEON CY15B256Q-SXAT Ferroelectric RAM, 256 Kbit, SPI, 40 MHz, 2 V to 3.6 V Supply, SOIC-8 SP005650517, CY15B256Q-SXAT

CY15B256Q-SXAT is a CY15B256Q 256Kbit nonvolatile memory employing an advanced ferroelectric process. An F-RAM is nonvolatile and performs reads and writes similar to a RAM. It provides reliable data retention for 121 years while eliminating the complexities, overhead, and system-level reliability problems caused by serial flash, EEPROM, and other nonvolatile memories. It performs write operations at bus speed. No write delays are incurred. Data is written to the memory array immediately after each byte is successfully transferred to the device. The next bus cycle can commence without the need for data polling. In addition, the product offers substantial write endurance compared with other nonvolatile memories. It is ideal for nonvolatile memory applications requiring frequent or rapid writes. Examples range from data logging, where the number of write cycles may be critical, to demanding industrial controls where the long write time of serial flash or EEPROM can cause data loss.
