The Excelon LP CY15X104QI is a low power, 4-Mbit 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 serial
flash, EEPROM, and other nonvolatile memories.
Unlike serial flash and EEPROM, the CY15X104QI 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 to other
nonvolatile memories. The CY15X104QI is capable of
supporting 1015 read/write cycles, or 1000 million times more
write cycles than EEPROM.
These capabilities make the CY15X104QI ideal for nonvolatile
memory applications, requiring frequent or rapid writes.
Examples range from data collection, 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.
The CY15X104QI provides substantial benefits to users of serial
EEPROM or flash as a hardware drop-in replacement. The
CY15X104QI uses the high-speed SPI bus, which enhances the
high-speed write capability of F-RAM technology. The device
incorporates a read-only Device ID and Unique ID features,
which allow the host to determine the manufacturer, product
density, product revision, and unique ID for each part. The device
also provides a writable, 8-byte serial number registers, which
can be used to identify a specific board or a system.

Description
CS
Input
Chip Select. This active LOW input activates the device. When HIGH, the device enters low-power
standby mode, ignores other inputs, and the output is tristated. When LOW, the device internally
activates the SCK signal. A falling edge on CS must occur before every opcode.
SCK
Input
Serial Clock. All I/O activity is synchronized to the serial clock. Inputs are latched on the rising edge
and outputs occur on the falling edge of the serial clock. The clock frequency may be any value
between 0 and 20 MHz and may be interrupted at any time due to its synchronous behavior.
SI [1]
Input
Serial Input. All data is input to the device on this pin. The pin is sampled on the rising edge of SCK
and is ignored at other times. It should always be driven to a valid logic level to meet the power (IDD)
specifications.
SO [1]
Output
Serial Output. This is the data output pin. It is driven during a read and remains tristated at all other
times. Data transitions are driven on the falling edge of the serial clock SCK.
WP
Input
Write Protect. This Active LOW pin prevents write operation to the Status Register when WPEN bit
in the Status Register is set to ‘1’. This is critical because other write protection features are controlled
through the Status Register. A complete explanation of write protection is provided in Status Register
and Write Protection on page 9. This pin has an internal weak pull up resistor which keeps this pin
HIGH if left floating (not connected on the board). This pin can also be tied to VDD if not used.

CY15B104QI
CY15V104QI
Functional Overview
The CY15X104QI is a serial F-RAM memory. The memory array
is logically organized as 524,288 × 8 bits and is accessed using
an industry-standard serial peripheral interface (SPI) bus. The
functional operation of the F-RAM is similar to serial flash and
serial EEPROMs. The major difference between the
CY15X104QI and a serial flash or EEPROM with the same
pinout is the F-RAM’s superior write performance, high
endurance, and low power consumption.
Memory Architecture
When accessing the CY15X104QI, the user addresses 512K
locations of eight data bits each. These eight data bits are shifted
in or out serially. The addresses are accessed using the SPI
protocol, which includes a chip select (to permit multiple devices
on the bus), an opcode, and a three-byte address. The upper
four bits of the address range are ‘don’t care’ values. The
complete address of 20 bits specifies each byte address
uniquely.
Most functions of the CY15X104QI are either controlled by the
SPI interface or handled by on-board circuitry. 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 SPI bus. Unlike a serial flash or
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 operation
is complete. This is explained in more detail in the interface
section.
SPI Bus
The CY15X104QI is an SPI slave device and operates at speeds
of up to 20 MHz. This high-speed serial bus provides high-performance serial communication to an SPI master. Many common
microcontrollers have hardware SPI ports allowing a direct
interface. It is simple to emulate the port using ordinary port pins
for microcontrollers that do not have this feature. The
CY15X104QI operates in SPI Modes 0 and 3.
SPI Overview
The SPI is a four-pin interface with Chip Select (CS), Serial Input
(SI), Serial Output (SO), and Serial Clock (SCK) pins.
The SPI is a synchronous serial interface, which uses clock and
data pins for memory access and supports multiple devices on
the data bus. A device on the SPI bus is activated using the CS
pin.
The relationship between chip select, clock, and data is dictated
by the SPI mode. This device supports SPI modes 0 and 3. In
both of these modes, data is clocked into the F-RAM on the rising
edge of SCK starting from the first rising edge after CS goes
active.
Document Number: 002-18671 Rev. *L
The SPI protocol is controlled by opcodes. These opcodes
specify the commands from the bus master to the slave device.
After CS is activated, the first byte transferred from the bus
master is the opcode. Following the opcode, any addresses and
data are then transferred. The CS must go inactive after an
operation is complete and before a new opcode can be issued.
Terms used in SPI Protocol
The commonly used terms in the SPI protocol are as follows.
SPI Master
The SPI master device controls the operations on the SPI bus.
An SPI bus may have only one master with one or more slave
devices. All the slaves share the same SPI bus lines and the
master may select any of the slave devices using the CS pin. All
of the operations must be initiated by the master activating a
slave device by pulling the CS pin of the slave LOW. The master
also generates the SCK and all the data transmission on SI and
SO lines are synchronized with this clock.
SPI Slave
The SPI slave device is activated by the master through the Chip
Select line. A slave device gets the SCK as an input from the SPI
master and all the communication is synchronized with this
clock. An SPI slave never initiates a communication on the SPI
bus and acts only on the instruction from the master.
The CY15X104QI operates as an SPI slave and may share the
SPI bus with other SPI slave devices.
Chip Select (CS)
To select any slave device, the master needs to pull down the
corresponding CS pin. Any instruction can be issued to a slave
device only while the CS pin is LOW. When the device is not
selected, data through the SI pin is ignored and the serial output
pin (SO) remains in a high-impedance state.
Note A new instruction must begin with the falling edge of CS.
Therefore, only one opcode can be issued for each active Chip
Select cycle.
Serial Clock (SCK)
The serial clock is generated by the SPI master and the
communication is synchronized with this clock after CS goes
LOW.
The CY15X104QI supports SPI modes 0 and 3 for data
communication. In both of these modes, the inputs are latched
by the slave device on the rising edge of SCK and outputs are
issued on the falling edge. Therefore, the first rising edge of SCK
signifies the arrival of the first Most Significant Bit (MSb) of an
SPI instruction on the SI pin. Further, all data inputs and outputs
are synchronized with SCK.
Page 5 of 27
CY15B104QI
CY15V104QI
Data Transmission (SI/SO)
Serial Opcode
The SPI data bus consists of two lines, SI and SO, for serial data
communication. SI is also referred to as Master Out Slave In
(MOSI) and SO is referred to as Master In Slave Out (MISO). The
master issues instructions to the slave through the SI pin, while
the slave responds through the SO pin. Multiple slave devices
may share the SI and SO lines as described earlier.
After the slave device is selected with CS going LOW, the first
byte received is treated as the opcode for the intended operation.
CY15X104QI uses the standard opcodes for memory accesses.
The CY15X104QI has two separate pins for SI and SO, which
can be connected with the master as shown in Figure 2. For a
microcontroller that has no dedicated SPI bus, a
general-purpose port may be used. To reduce hardware
resources on the controller, it is possible to connect the two data
pins (SI, SO) together and tie off (HIGH) the WP pin. Figure 3
shows such a configuration, which uses only three pins.
Invalid Opcode
If an invalid opcode is received, the opcode is ignored and the
device ignores any additional serial data on the SI pin until the
next falling edge of CS, and the SO pin remains tristated.
Status Register
CY15X104QI has an 8-bit Status Register. The bits in the Status
Register are used to configure the device. These bits are
described in Table 3 on page 9.

■
SPI Mode 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0)
■
SPI Mode 3 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1)
For both these modes, the input data is latched in on the rising
edge of SCK starting from the first rising edge after CS goes
active. If the clock starts from a HIGH state (in mode 3), the first
rising edge after the clock toggles is considered. The output data
is available on the falling edge of SCK. The two SPI modes are
shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5. The status of the clock when the
bus master is not transferring data is:
■
SCK remains at 0 for Mode 0
■
SCK remains at 1 for Mode 3
The device detects the SPI mode from the status of the SCK pin
when the device is selected by bringing the CS pin LOW. If the
SCK pin is LOW when the device is selected, SPI Mode 0 is
assumed and if the SCK pin is HIGH, it works in SPI Mode 3.

Most Significant Bit (MSb)
The SPI protocol requires that the first bit to be transmitted is the
MSb. This is valid for both address and data transmission.
The 4-Mbit serial F-RAM requires a 3-byte address for any read
or write operation. Because the address is only 19 bits, the first
five bits, which are fed in are ignored by the device. Although
these four bits are ‘don’t care’, Cypress recommends that these
bits be set to 0s to enable seamless transition to higher memory
densities.

Write Enable Control Commands
Reset Write Enable Latch (WRDI, 04h)
Set Write Enable Latch (WREN, 06h)
The WRDI command disables all write activity by clearing the
Write Enable Latch. Verify that the writes are disabled by reading
the WEL bit in the Status Register and verify that WEL is equal
to ‘0’. Figure 7 illustrates the WRDI command bus configuration.
The CY15X104QI will power up with writes disabled. The WREN
command must be issued before any write operation. Sending
the WREN opcode allows the user to issue subsequent opcodes
for write operations. These include writing to the Status Register
(WRSR), the memory (WRITE), Special Sector (SSWR), and
Write Serial Number (WRSN).
Sending the WREN opcode causes the internal Write Enable
Latch to be set. A flag bit in the Status Register, called WEL,
indicates the state of the latch. WEL = ‘1’ indicates that writes are
permitted. Attempting to write the WEL bit in the Status Register
has no effect on the state of this bit - only the WREN opcode can
set this bit. The WEL bit will be automatically cleared on the rising
edge of CS following a WRDI, a WRSR, a WRITE, a SSWR, or
a WRSN operation. This prevents further writes to the Status
Register or the F-RAM array without another WREN command.
Figure 6 illustrates the WREN command bus configuration.

Status Register and Write Protection
The write protection features of the CY15X104QI are multi-tiered and are enabled through the status register. The Status Register is
organized as follows. (The default value shipped from the factory for WEL, BP0, BP1, bits 4–5, and WPEN is ‘0’, and for bit 6 is ‘1’.)

This bit is non-writable and always returns ‘0’ upon read.
Bit 2 (BP0)
Block Protect bit ‘0’
Used for block protection. For details, see Table 4.
Bit 3 (BP1)
Block Protect bit ‘1’
Used for block protection. For details, see Table 4.
WEL indicates if the device is write enabled. This bit defaults to ‘0’ (disabled) on power-up.
WEL = ‘1’ --> Write enabled
WEL = ‘0’ --> Write disabled
Bit 4–5
Don’t care
These bits are non-writable and always return ‘0’ upon read.
Bit 6
Don’t care
This bit is non-writable and always returns ‘1’ upon read.
Bit 7 (WPEN)
Write Protect Enable bit Used to enable the function of Write Protect Pin (WP). For details, see Table 5.
Bits 0 and 4–5 are fixed at ‘0’ and bit 6 is fixed at ‘1’; none of these
bits can be modified. Note that bit 0 (“Ready or Write in progress”
bit in serial flash and EEPROM) is unnecessary, as the F-RAM
writes in real-time and is never busy, so it reads out as a ‘0’. An
exception to this is when the device is waking up either from
Deep Power-Down Mode (DPD, BAh) or Hibernate Mode (HBN,
B9h). The BP1 and BP0 control the software write-protection
features and are nonvolatile bits. The WEL flag indicates the
state of the Write Enable Latch. Attempting to directly write the
WEL bit in the Status Register has no effect on its state. This bit
is internally set and cleared via the WREN and WRDI
commands, respectively.
BP1 and BP0 are memory block write protection bits. They
specify portions of memory that are write-protected as shown in
Table 4.
Table 4. Block Memory Write Protection
BP1
BP0
0
0

1
The BP1 and BP0 bits and the Write Enable Latch are the only
mechanisms that protect the memory from writes. The remaining
write protection features protect inadvertent changes to the block
protect bits.
The write protect enable bit (WPEN) in the Status Register
controls the effect of the hardware write protect (WP) pin. Refer to
Figure 23 on page 21 for the WP pin timing diagram. When the
WPEN bit is set to ‘0’, the status of the WP pin is ignored. When
the WPEN bit is set to ‘1’, a LOW on the WP pin inhibits a write to
the Status Register. Thus the Status Register is write-protected
only when WPEN = ‘1’ and WP = ‘0’. Table 5 summarizes the
write protection conditions.

command, the user must send a WREN command to enable
writes. Executing a WRSR command is a write operation and
therefore, clears the Write Enable Latch.
The WRSR command allows the SPI bus master to write into the
Status Register and change the write protect configuration by
setting the WPEN, BP0, and BP1 bits as required. Before issuing
a WRSR command, the WP pin must be HIGH or inactive. Note

CY15X104QI write operation is shown in Figure 10.
Memory Operation
The SPI interface, which is capable of a high clock frequency,
highlights the fast write capability of the F-RAM technology.
Unlike serial flash and EEPROMs, the CY15X104QI can perform
sequential writes at bus speed. No page register is needed and
any number of sequential writes may be performed.
Notes
Memory Write Operation Commands
Write Operation (WRITE, 02h)
All writes to the memory begin with a WREN opcode with CS
being asserted and deasserted. The next opcode is WRITE. The
WRITE opcode is followed by a three-byte address containing
the 19-bit address (A18–A0) of the first data byte to be written
into the memory. The upper five bits of the three-byte address
are ignored. Subsequent bytes are data bytes, which are written
sequentially. Addresses are incremented internally as long as
the bus master continues to issue clocks and keeps CS LOW. If
■
When a burst write reaches a protected block address, the
automatic address increment stops and all the subsequent data
bytes received for write will be ignored by the device.
EEPROMs use page buffers to increase their write throughput.
This compensates for the technology’s inherently slow write
operations. F-RAM memories do not have page buffers
because each byte is written to the F-RAM array immediately
after it is clocked in (after the eighth clock). This allows any
number of bytes to be written without page buffer delays.
■
If power is lost in the middle of the write operation, only the last
completed byte will be written.

during read data bytes. Subsequent bytes are data bytes, which
are read out sequentially. Addresses are incremented internally
as long as the bus master continues to issue clocks and CS is
LOW. If the last address of 7FFFFh is reached, the internal
address counter will roll over to 00000h. Every data byte to be
written is transmitted on SI in 8-clock cycles with MSb first and
the LSb last. The rising edge of CS terminates a read operation
and tristates the SO pin. The CY15X104QI read operation is
shown in Figure 11.
Memory Read Commands
Read Operation (READ, 03h)
After the falling edge of CS, the bus master can issue a READ
opcode. Following the READ command is a three-byte address
containing the 19-bit address (A18–A0) of the first byte of the
read operation. The upper five bits of the address are ignored.
After the opcode and address are issued, the device drives out
the read data on the next eight clocks. The SI input is ignored

available. In case of bulk read, the internal address counter is
incremented automatically, and after the last address 7FFFFh is
reached, the internal address counter rolls over to 00000h. When
the device is driving data on its SO line, any transition on its SI
line is ignored. The rising edge of CS terminates a fast read
operation and tristates the SO pin. The CY15X104QI Fast Read
operation is shown in Figure 12.
Fast Read Operation (FAST_READ, 0Bh)
The CY15X104QI supports a FAST READ opcode (0Bh) that is
provided for opcode compatibility with serial flash devices. The
FAST READ opcode is followed by a three-byte address
containing the 19-bit address (A18–A0) of the first byte of the
read operation and then a dummy byte. The dummy byte inserts
a read latency of 8-clock cycle. The fast read operation is
otherwise the same as an ordinary read operation except that it
requires an additional dummy byte. After receiving the opcode,
address, and a dummy byte, the CY15X104QI starts driving its
SO line with data bytes, with MSb first, and continues
transmitting as long as the device is selected and the clock is
Note The dummy byte can be any 8-bit value but Axh
(8’b1010xxxx). The lower 4 bits of Axh are don’t care bits. Hence,
Axh essentially represents 16 different 8-bit values which
shouldn’t be transmitted as the dummy byte. 00h is typically used
as the dummy byte in most use cases.

The serial number is an 8-byte one-time programmable memory

system. A serial number typically consists of a two-byte
Customer ID, followed by five bytes of a unique serial number
and one byte of CRC check. However, the end application can
define its own format for the 8-byte serial number. All writes to
the Serial Number Register begin with a WREN opcode with CS

Endurance
The CY15X104QI devices are capable of being accessed at
least 1015 times, reads or writes.
An F-RAM memory operates with a read and restore
mechanism. Therefore, an endurance cycle is applied on a row
basis for each access (read or write) to the memory array. The
F-RAM architecture is based on an array of rows and columns of
32K rows of 64-bit each. The entire row is internally accessed
once, whether a single byte or all eight bytes are read or written.
Each byte in the row is counted only once in an endurance calculation. Table 8 shows endurance calculations for a 64-byte
repeating loop, which includes an opcode, a starting address,
and a sequential 64-byte data stream. This causes each byte to
experience one endurance cycle through the loop.
F-RAM read and write endurance is virtually unlimited at a
20-MHz clock rate.
