❐ Advanced high-reliability ferroelectric process
The FM24C04B is a 4-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 EEPROM and other nonvolatile
memories.
Fast 2-wire Serial interface (I2C)
❐ Up to 1-MHz frequency
2
❐ Direct hardware replacement for serial (I C) EEPROM
❐ Supports legacy timings for 100 kHz and 400 kHz
Unlike EEPROM, the FM24C04B 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. Also, F-RAM exhibits much lower power during writes
than EEPROM since write operations do not require an internally
elevated power supply voltage for write circuits. The FM24C04B
is capable of supporting 1014 read/write cycles, or 100 million
times more write cycles than EEPROM.

These capabilities make the FM24C04B 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 EEPROM can cause data loss. The
combination of features allows more frequent data writing with
less overhead for the system.

FM24C04B
Functional Overview
operation is complete. This is explained in more detail in the
interface section.
The FM24C04B is a serial F-RAM memory. The memory array
is logically organized as 512 × 8 bits and is accessed using an
industry-standard I2C interface. The functional operation of the
F-RAM is similar to serial (I2C) EEPROM. The major difference
between the FM24C04B and a serial (I2C) EEPROM with the
same pinout is the F-RAM's superior write performance, high
endurance, and low power consumption.
Note that the FM24C04B contains no power management
circuits other than a simple internal power-on reset. It is the
user’s responsibility to ensure that VDD is within data sheet
tolerances to prevent incorrect operation.
I2C Interface
The FM24C04B employs a bi-directional I2C bus protocol using
few pins or board space. Figure 2 illustrates a typical system
configuration using the FM24C04B in a microcontroller-based
system. The industry standard I2C bus is familiar to many users
but is described in this section.
Memory Architecture
When accessing the FM24C04B, the user addresses 512
locations of eight data bits each. These eight data bits are shifted
in or out serially. The addresses are accessed using the I2C
protocol, which includes a slave address (to distinguish other
non-memory devices), a page address bit, and a word address.
The word address consists of 8-bits that specify one of the 256
addresses. The page address is 1-bit and so there are 2 pages
of 256 locations. The complete address of 9-bits specifies each
byte address uniquely.
By convention, any device that is sending data onto the bus is
the transmitter while the target device for this data is the receiver.
The device that is controlling the bus is the master. The master
is responsible for generating the clock signal for all operations.
Any device on the bus that is being controlled is a slave. The
FM24C04B is always a slave device.
The bus protocol is controlled by transition states in the SDA and
SCL signals. There are four conditions including START, STOP,
data bit, or acknowledge. Figure 3 on page 5 and Figure 4 on
page 5 illustrates the signal conditions that specify the four
states. Detailed timing diagrams are shown in the electrical
specifications section.
The access time for the memory operation is essentially zero,
beyond the time needed for the serial protocol. That is, the
memory is read or written at the speed of the I2C bus. Unlike a
serial (I2C) EEPROM, it is not necessary to poll the device for a
ready condition because writes occur at bus speed. By the time
a new bus transaction can be shifted into the device, a write

STOP Condition (P)
START Condition (S)
A STOP condition is indicated when the bus master drives SDA
from LOW to HIGH while the SCL signal is HIGH. All operations
using the FM24C04B should end with a STOP condition. If an
operation is in progress when a STOP is asserted, the operation
will be aborted. The master must have control of SDA in order to
assert a STOP condition.
A START condition is indicated when the bus master drives SDA
from HIGH to LOW while the SCL signal is HIGH. All commands
should be preceded by a START condition. An operation in
progress can be aborted by asserting a START condition at any
time. Aborting an operation using the START condition will ready
the FM24C04B for a new operation.
If during operation the power supply drops below the specified
VDD minimum, the system should issue a START condition prior
to performing another operation.

All data transfers (including addresses) take place while the SCL

above, the SDA signal should not change while SCL is HIGH.
Acknowledge/No-acknowledge
The acknowledge takes place after the 8th data bit has been
transferred in any transaction. During this state the transmitter
should release the SDA bus to allow the receiver to drive it. The
receiver drives the SDA signal LOW to acknowledge receipt of
the byte. If the receiver does not drive SDA LOW, the condition
is a no-acknowledge and the operation is aborted.

Data/Address Transfer
S
The receiver would fail to acknowledge for two distinct reasons.
First is that a byte transfer fails. In this case, the no-acknowledge
ceases the current operation so that the device can be
addressed again. This allows the last byte to be recovered in the
event of a communication error.
Second and most common, the receiver does not acknowledge
to deliberately end an operation. For example, during a read
operation, the FM24C04B will continue to place data onto the
bus as long as the receiver sends acknowledges (and clocks).
When a read operation is complete and no more data is needed,
the receiver must not acknowledge the last byte. If the receiver
acknowledges the last byte, this will cause the FM24C04B to
attempt to drive the bus on the next clock while the master is
sending a new command such as STOP.

FM24C04B
Slave Device Address
The first byte that the FM24C04B expects after a START
condition is the slave address. As shown in Figure 6, the slave
address contains the device type or slave ID, the device select
address bits, a page select bit, and a bit that specifies if the
transaction is a read or a write.
Bits 7-4 are the device type (slave ID) and should be set to 1010b
for the FM24C04B. These bits allow other function types to
reside on the I2C bus within an identical address range. Bits 3-2
are the device select address bits. They must match the corresponding value on the external address pins to select the device.
Up to four FM24C04B devices can reside on the same I2C bus
by assigning a different address to each. Bit 1 is the page select
bit. It specifies the 256-byte block of memory that is targeted for
the current operation. Bit 0 is the read/write bit (R/W). R/W = ‘1’
indicates a read operation and R/W = ‘0’ indicates a write
operation.

Memory Operation
The FM24C04B is designed to operate in a manner very similar
to other I2C interface memory products. The major differences
result from the higher performance write capability of F-RAM
technology. These improvements result in some differences
between the FM24C04B and a similar configuration EEPROM
during writes. The complete operation for both writes and reads
is explained below.
Write Operation
All writes begin with a slave address, then a word address. The
bus master indicates a write operation by setting the LSB of the
slave address (R/W bit) to a ‘0’. After addressing, the bus master
sends each byte of data to the memory and the memory
generates an acknowledge condition. Any number of sequential
bytes may be written. If the end of the address range is reached
internally, the address counter will wrap from 1FFh to 000h.

handbook, halfpage
then wait for an acknowledge from the master. If the
acknowledge occurs, the FM24C04B will transfer the next
sequential byte. If the acknowledge is not sent, the FM24C04B
will end the read operation. For a write operation, the FM24C04B
will accept 8 data bits from the master then send an
acknowledge. All data transfer occurs MSB (most significant bit)
first.

Addressing Overview (Word Address)
After the FM24C04B (as receiver) acknowledges the slave
address, the master can place the word address on the bus for
a write operation. The word address is the lower 8-bits of the
address to be combined with the 1-bit page select to specify
exactly the byte to be written. The complete 9-bit address is
latched internally. No word address occurs for a read operation.
Reads always use the lower 8-bits that are held internally in the
address latch and the 9th address bit is part of the slave address.
Reads always begin at the address following the previous
access. A random read address can be loaded by doing a write
operation as explained below.
After transmission of each data byte, just prior to the
acknowledge, the FM24C04B increments the internal address
latch. This allows the next sequential byte to be accessed with
no additional addressing. After the last address (1FFh) is
reached, the address latch will roll over to 000h. There is no limit
to the number of bytes that can be accessed with a single read
or write operation.
Data Transfer
After the address bytes have been transmitted, data transfer
between the bus master and the FM24C04B can begin. For a
read operation the FM24C04B will place 8 data bits on the bus
Unlike other nonvolatile memory technologies, there is no
effective write delay with F-RAM. Since the read and write
access times of the underlying memory are the same, the user
experiences no delay through the bus. The entire memory cycle
occurs in less time than a single bus clock. Therefore, any
operation including read or write can occur immediately following
a write. Acknowledge polling, a technique used with EEPROMs
to determine if a write is complete is unnecessary and will always
return a ready condition.
Internally, an actual memory write occurs after the 8th data bit is
transferred. It will be complete before the acknowledge is sent.
Therefore, if the user desires to abort a write without altering the
memory contents, this should be done using START or STOP
condition prior to the 8th data bit. The FM24C04B uses no page
buffering.
The memory array can be write-protected using the WP pin.
Setting the WP pin to a HIGH condition (VDD) will write-protect
all addresses. The FM24C04B will not acknowledge data bytes
that are written to protected addresses. In addition, the address
counter will not increment if writes are attempted to these
addresses. Setting WP to a LOW state (VSS) will disable the write
protect. WP is pulled down internally.
Figure 7 and Figure 8 on page 7 below illustrate a single-byte
and multiple-byte write cycles.

Read Operation
There are two basic types of read operations. They are current
address read and selective address read. In a current address
read, the FM24C04B uses the internal address latch to supply
the lower 8 address bits. In a selective read, the user performs a
procedure to set these lower address bits to a specific value.
Current Address & Sequential Read
As mentioned above the FM24C04B uses an internal latch to
supply the lower 8 address bits for a read operation. A current
address read uses the existing value in the address latch as a
starting place for the read operation. The system reads from the
address immediately following that of the last operation.
To perform a current address read, the bus master supplies a
slave address with the LSB set to a ‘1’. This indicates that a read
operation is requested. The page select bit in the slave address
specifies the block of memory that is used for the read operation.
After receiving the complete slave address, the FM24C04B will
begin shifting out data from the current address on the next clock.
The current address is the bit from the slave address combined
with the 8-bits that were in the internal address latch.
Beginning with the current address, the bus master can read any
number of bytes. Thus, a sequential read is simply a current
address read with multiple byte transfers. After each byte the
internal address counter will be incremented.
Note Each time the bus master acknowledges a byte, this
indicates that the FM24C04B should read out the next sequential
byte.
There are four ways to properly terminate a read operation.
Failing to properly terminate the read will most likely create a bus
contention as the FM24C04B attempts to read out additional
data onto the bus. The four valid methods are:
1. The bus master issues a no-acknowledge in the 9th clock
cycle and a STOP in the 10th clock cycle. This is illustrated in
the diagrams below. This is preferred.
2. The bus master issues a no-acknowledge in the 9th clock
cycle and a START in the 10th.
3. The bus master issues a STOP in the 9th clock cycle.
4. The bus master issues a START in the 9th clock cycle.
If the internal address reaches 1FFh, it will wrap around to 000h
on the next read cycle. Figure 9 and Figure 10 below show the
proper operation for current address reads.

FM24C04B
Selective (Random) Read
There is a simple technique that allows a user to select a random
address location as the starting point for a read operation. This
involves using the first two bytes of a write operation to set the
internal address followed by subsequent read operations.
To perform a selective read, the bus master sends out the slave
address with the LSB (R/W) set to 0. This specifies a write
operation. According to the write protocol, the bus master then
sends the word address byte that is loaded into the internal
address latch. After the FM24C04B acknowledges the word
address, the bus master issues a START condition. This simultaneously aborts the write operation and allows the read
command to be issued with the slave address LSB set to a ‘1’.
The operation is now a current address read.

Endurance
The FM24C04B internally operates with a read and restore
mechanism. Therefore, endurance cycles are applied for each
read or write cycle. The memory architecture is based on an
array of rows and columns. Each read or write access causes an
endurance cycle for an entire row. In the FM24C04B, a row is

64 bits wide. Every 8-byte boundary marks the beginning of a
new row. Endurance can be optimized by ensuring frequently
accessed data is located in different rows. Regardless, F-RAM
read and write endurance is effectively unlimited at the 1-MHz
I2C speed. Even at 3000 accesses per second to the same row,
10 years time will elapse before 1 trillion endurance cycles occur.
