Infineon/CYPRESS FM33256B-G

The FM33256B device integrates F-RAM memory with the most commonly needed functions for processor-based systems. Major features include nonvolatile memory, real time clock, low-VDD reset, watchdog timer, nonvolatile event counter, lockable 64-bit serial number area, and general purpose comparator that can be used for a power-fail (NMI) interrupt or any other purpose. The FM33256B is a 256-Kbit nonvolatile memory employing an advanced ferroelectric process. A ferroelectric random access memory or F-RAM is nonvolatile and performs reads and writes similar to a RAM. It provides reliable data retention for 151 years while eliminating the complexities, overhead, and system-level reliability problems caused by other nonvolatile memories. The FM33256B is capable of supporting 10^14 read/write cycles, or 100 million times more write cycles than EEPROM. The real time clock (RTC) provides time and date information in BCD format. It can be permanently powered from an external backup voltage source, either a battery or a capacitor. The timekeeper uses a common external 32.768 kHz crystal and provides a calibration mode that allows software adjustment of timekeeping accuracy. The processor companion includes commonly needed CPU support functions. Supervisory functions include a reset output signal controlled by either a low VDD condition or a watchdog timeout. RST goes active when VDD drops below a programmable threshold and remains active for 100 ms (max.) after VDD rises above the trip point. A programmable watchdog timer runs from 60 ms to 1.8 seconds. The timer may also be programmed for a delayed start, which functions as a window timer. The watchdog timer is optional, but if enabled it will assert the reset signal for 100 ms if not restarted by the host within the time window. A flag-bit indicates the source of the reset. A comparator on PFI compares an external input pin to the onboard 1.5 V reference. This is useful for generating a power-fail interrupt (NMI) but can be used for any purpose. The family also includes a programmable 64-bit serial number that can be locked making it unalterable. Additionally it offers an event counter that tracks the number of rising or falling edges detected on a dedicated input pin. The counter can be programmed to be nonvolatile under VDD power or battery-backed using only VBAK. If VBAK is connected to a battery or capacitor, then events will be counted even in the absence of VDD
