DESCRIPTION
D A ferroelectric random access memory or F-RAM is E N nonvolatile and performs reads and writes like a RAM. No write delays are incurred. The next bus c 0 cycle may commence immediately without the need for data polling. In addition, the product offers write la V endurance orders of magnitude higher than E 4 EEPROM. Also, F-RAM exhibits much lower power R W p 2 during writes than EEPROM since write operations E Re M do not require an internally elevated power supply t F voltage for write circuits.
