Infineon CY15B128Q-SXET

The CY15B128Q is a 128 Kbit nonvolatile memory employing an advanced ferroelectric process. F-RAM is nonvolatile and performs reads and writes like a RAM. It retains data reliably for 121 years while eliminating the complexities, overhead, and system-level reliability concerns associated with serial Flash, EEPROM, and other nonvolatile memories. Unlike serial Flash and EEPROM, the CY15B128Q performs write operations at bus speed with no write delay. Data is written to the memory array immediately after each byte is successfully transferred to the device, and the next bus cycle can begin without data polling. In addition, the device offers exceptional write endurance compared to other nonvolatile memories. The CY15B128Q supports 10¹³ read/write cycles — 10 million times more write cycles than EEPROM. These characteristics make the CY15B128Q ideal for nonvolatile memory applications requiring frequent or high-speed writes, such as data logging (where write cycle count may be critical) and demanding industrial control applications (where the long write times of serial Flash or EEPROM may result in data loss). As a drop-in hardware replacement for serial EEPROM or Flash, the CY15B128Q delivers significant user benefits. It uses a high-speed SPI bus, further leveraging the high-speed write capability of F-RAM technology. The device includes a read-only device ID that allows the host to identify the manufacturer, product density, and product revision. Device specifications are guaranteed over the automotive temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.
