employing an advanced ferroelectric process. A ferroelectric
random access memory or F-RAM is nonvolatile and performs
reads and writes similar to a RAM. This memory is truly
nonvolatile rather than battery backed. It provides reliable data
retention for 151 years while eliminating the complexities,
overhead, and system-level reliability problems caused by other
nonvolatile memories. The FM3164/FM31256 is capable of
supporting 1014 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 after
VDD rises above the trip point. A programmable watchdog timer
runs from 100 ms to 3 seconds. The watchdog timer is optional,
but if enabled it will assert the reset signal for 100 ms if not
restarted by the host before the timeout. A flag-bit indicates the
source of the reset.
A comparator on PFI compares an external input pin to the
onboard 1.2 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 a dual
battery-backed event counter that tracks the number of rising or
falling edges detected on a dedicated input pin.

Description
A1–A0
Input
Device Select Address 1–0. These pins are used to select one of up to 4 devices of the same type
on the same I2C bus. To select the device, the address value on the three pins must match the
corresponding bits contained in the slave address. The address pins are pulled down internally.
SDA
Input/Output Serial Data/Address. This is a bi-directional pin for the I2C interface. It is open-drain and is intended
to be wire-OR'd with other devices on the I2C bus. The input buffer incorporates a Schmitt trigger for
noise immunity and the output driver includes slope control for falling edges. An external pull-up
resistor is required.
SCL

Serial Clock. The serial clock pin for the I2C interface. Data is clocked out of the device on the falling
edge, and into the device on the rising edge. The SCL input also incorporates a Schmitt trigger input
for noise immunity.
CNT1, CNT2
Input
Event Counter Inputs. These battery-backed inputs increment counters when an edge is detected
on the corresponding CNT pin. The polarity is programmable. These pins should not be left floating.
Tie to ground if these pins are not used.

FM3164/FM31256
Functional Overview
Processor Companion
The FM3164/FM31256 device combines a serial nonvolatile
RAM with a real time clock (RTC) and a processor companion.
The companion is a highly integrated peripheral including a
processor supervisor, a comparator used for early power-fail
warning, nonvolatile event counters, and a 64-bit serial number.
The FM3164/FM31256 integrates these complementary but
distinct functions under a common interface in a single package.
The product is organized as two logical devices. The first is a
memory and the second is the companion which includes all the
remaining functions. From the system perspective they appear
to be two separate devices with unique IDs on the serial bus.
In addition to nonvolatile RAM, the FM3164/FM31256
incorporates a real time clock and highly integrated processor
companion. The companion includes a low-VDD reset, a
programmable watchdog timer, a battery-backed event
counters, a comparator for early power-fail detection or other
purposes, and a 64-bit serial number.
The memory is organized as a standalone nonvolatile I2C
memory using standard device ID value. The real time clock and
supervisor functions are accessed with a separate I2C device ID.
This allows clock/calendar data to be read while maintaining the
most recently used memory address. The clock and supervisor
functions are controlled by 25 special function registers. The
RTC and event counter circuits are maintained by the power
source on the VBAK pin, allowing them to operate from battery or
backup capacitor power when VDD drops below a set threshold.
Each functional block is described below.
Memory Architecture
The FM3164/FM31256 device is available in memory size
64-Kbit/256-Kbit. The device uses two-byte addressing for the
memory portion of the chip. This makes the device software
compatible with its standalone memory counterparts, but makes
them compatible within the entire family.
The memory array is logically organized as 8,192 × 8 bits/
32,768 × 8 bits and is accessed using an industry-standard I2C
interface. The memory is based on F-RAM technology.
Therefore it can be treated as RAM and is read or written at the
speed of the I2C bus with no delays for write operations. It also
offers effectively unlimited write endurance unlike other
nonvolatile memory technologies. The I2C protocol is described
on I2C Interface on page 21.
The memory array can be write-protected by software. Two bits
in the processor companion area (WP1, WP0 in register 0Bh)
control the protection setting. Based on the setting, the protected
addresses cannot be written and the I2C interface will not
acknowledge any data to protected addresses. The special
function registers containing these bits are described in detail
below.

Processor Supervisor
Supervisors provide a host processor two basic functions:
detection of power supply fault conditions and a watchdog timer
to escape a software lockup condition. The FM3164/FM31256
has a reset pin (RST) to drive a processor reset input during
power faults, power-up, and software lockups. It is an open drain
output with a weak internal pull-up to VDD. This allows other reset
sources to be wire-OR’d to the RST pin. When VDD is above the
programmed trip point, RST output is pulled weakly to VDD. If
VDD drops below the reset trip point voltage level (VTP), the RST
pin will be driven LOW. It will remain LOW until VDD falls too low
for circuit operation which is the VRST level. When VDD rises
again above VTP, RST continues to drive LOW for at least
100 ms (tRPU) to ensure a robust system reset at a reliable VDD
level. After tRPU has been met, the RST pin will return to the weak
HIGH state. While RST is asserted, serial bus activity is locked
out even if a transaction occurred as VDD dropped below VTP. A
memory operation started while VDD is above VTP will be
completed internally.
Table 1 below shows how bits VTP(1:0) control the trip point of
the low-VDD reset. They are located in register 0Bh, bits 1 and 0.
The reset pin will drive LOW when VDD is below the selected VTP
voltage, and the I2C interface and F-RAM array will be locked
out. Figure 2 illustrates the reset operation in response to a low
VDD.

A watchdog timer can also be used to drive an active reset signal.
The watchdog is a free-running programmable timer. The
timeout period can be software programmed from 100 ms to
3 seconds in 100 ms increments via a 5-bit nonvolatile register.
All programmed settings are minimum values and vary with
temperature according to the operating specifications. The
watchdog has two additional controls associated with its
operation, a watchdog enable bit (WDE) and timer restart bits
(WR). Both the enable bit must be set and the watchdog must
timeout in order to drive RST active. If a reset event occurs, the
timer will automatically restart on the rising edge of the reset
pulse. If WDE = ‘0’, the watchdog timer runs but a watchdog fault
will not cause RST to be asserted LOW. The WTR flag will be
set, indicating a watchdog fault. This setting is useful during
software development if the developer does not want RST to
drive. Note that setting the maximum timeout setting (11111b)
disables the counter to save power. The second control is a
nibble that restarts the timer preventing a reset. The timer should
be restarted after changing the timeout value.
The watchdog timeout value is located in register 0Ah, bits 4:0,
and the watchdog enable is bit 7. The watchdog is restarted by
writing the pattern 1010b to the lower nibble of register 09h.
Writing this pattern will also cause the timer to load new timeout
values. Writing other patterns to this address will not affect its
operation. Note the watchdog timer is free-running. Prior to
enabling it, users should restart the timer as described above.
This assures that the full timeout period will be set immediately
after enabling. The watchdog is disabled when VDD is below VTP.
The following table summarizes the watchdog bits. A block
diagram follows.

Manual Reset
The RST is a bi-directional signal allowing the FM3164/FM31256
to filter and de-bounce a manual reset switch. The RST input
detects an external low condition and responds by driving the
RST signal LOW for 100 ms.

Note The internal weak pull-up eliminates the need for additional
external components.
Reset Flags
In case of a reset condition, a flag bit will be set to indicate the
source of the reset. A low-VDD reset is indicated by the POR flag,
register 09h, bit 6. A watchdog reset is indicated by the WTR flag,
register 09h, bit 7. Note that the flags are internally set in
response to reset sources, but they must be cleared by the user.
When the register is read, it is possible that both flags are set if
both have occurred since the user last cleared them.

Early Power Fail Comparator
An early power fail warning can be provided to the processor well
before VDD drops out of spec. The comparator is used to create
a power fail interrupt (NMI). This can be accomplished by
connecting the PFI pin to the unregulated power supply via a
resistor divider. An application circuit is shown below.
Figure 5. Comparator as a Power-Fail Warning
Regulator
anytime VDD is above VTP, and they will be incremented as long
as a valid VBAK power source is provided. To read, set the RC
bit (register 0Ch, bit 3) to 1. This takes a snapshot of all four
counter bytes allowing a stable value even if a count occurs
during the read. The registers can be written by software allowing
the counters to be cleared or initialized by the system. Counts
are blocked during a write operation. The two counters can be
cascaded to create a single 32-bit counter by setting the CC
control bit (register 0Ch, bit 2). When cascaded, the CNT1 input
will cause the counter to increment. CNT2 is not used in this
mode and should be tied to ground.

The voltage on the PFI input pin is compared to an onboard 1.2 V
reference. When the PFI input voltage drops below this
threshold, the comparator will drive the CAL/PFO pin to a LOW
state. The comparator has 100 mV (max) of hysteresis to reduce
noise sensitivity, only for a rising PFI signal. For a falling PFI
edge, there is no hysteresis.
The comparator is a general purpose device and its application
is not limited to the NMI function.
The comparator is not integrated into the special function
registers except as it shares its output pin with the CAL output.
When the RTC calibration mode is invoked by setting the CAL
bit (register 00h, bit 2), the CAL/PFO output pin will be driven with
a 512 Hz square wave and the comparator will be ignored. Since
most users only invoke the calibration mode during production,
this should have no impact on system operations using the
comparator.
Note The maximum voltage on the comparator input PFI is
limited to 3.75 V under normal operating conditions.
Event Counter
The FM3164/FM31256 offers the user two battery-backed event
counters. Input pins CNT1 and CNT2 are programmable edge
detectors. Each clocks a 16-bit counter. When an edge occurs,
the counters will increment their respective registers. Counter 1
is located in registers 0Dh and 0Eh, Counter 2 is located in
registers 0Fh and 10h. These register values can be read
Document Number: 001-86391 Rev. *G
The control bits for event counting are located in register 0Ch.
Counter 1 Polarity is bit C1P, bit 0; Counter 2 Polarity is C2P, bit
1; the Cascade Control is CC, bit 2; and the Read Counter bit is
RC, bit 3.
The polarity bits must be set prior to setting the counter value(s).
If a polarity bit is changed, the counter may inadvertently
increment. If the counter pins are not being used, tie them to
ground.
Serial Number
A memory location to write a 64-bit serial number is provided. It
is a writeable nonvolatile memory block that can be locked by the
user once the serial number is set. The 8 bytes of data and the
lock bit are all accessed via the device ID for the Processor
Companion. Therefore the serial number area is separate and
distinct from the memory array. The serial number registers can
be written an unlimited number of times, so these locations are
general purpose memory. However, once the lock bit is set, the
values cannot be altered and the lock cannot be removed. Once
locked the serial number registers can still be read by the
system.
The serial number is located in registers 11h to 18h. The lock bit
is SNL (register 0Bh, bit 7). Setting the SNL bit to a ‘1’ disables
writes to the serial number registers, and the SNL bit cannot be
cleared.
Page 7 of 37
FM3164/FM31256
Real-time Clock Operation
the R bit from ‘0’ to ‘1’ transfers timekeeping information from the
core into holding registers that can be read by the user. If a
timekeeper update is pending when R is set, then the core will
be updated prior to loading the user registers. The registers are
frozen and will not be updated again until the R bit is cleared to
‘0’. R is used for reading the time.
The real-time clock (RTC) is a timekeeping device that can be
battery or capacitor backed for permanently-powered operation.
It offers a software calibration feature that allows high accuracy.
The RTC consists of an oscillator, clock divider, and a register
system for user access. It divides down the 32.768 kHz
time-base and provides a minimum resolution of seconds (1 Hz).
Static registers provide the user with read/write access to the
time values. It includes registers for seconds, minutes, hours,
day-of-the-week, date, months, and years. A block diagram
(Figure 7) illustrates the RTC function.
Setting the W bit to ‘1’ locks the user registers. Clearing it to ‘0’
causes the values in the user registers to be loaded into the
timekeeper core. W bit is used for writing new time values. Users
should be certain not to load invalid values, such as FFh, to the
timekeeping registers. Updates to the timekeeping core occur
continuously except when locked.
The user registers are synchronized with the timekeeper core
using R and W bits in register 00h described below. Changing

Backup Power
Trickle Charger
The real-time clock/calendar is intended to be permanently
powered. When the primary system power fails, the voltage on
the VDD pin will drop. When VDD is less than 2.5 V, the RTC (and
event counters) will switch to the backup power supply on VBAK.
The clock operates at extremely low current in order to maximize
battery or capacitor life. However, an advantage of combining a
clock function with F-RAM memory is that data is not lost
regardless of the backup power source.
To facilitate capacitor backup the VBAK pin can optionally provide
a trickle charge current. When the VBC bit (register 0Bh, bit 2) is
set to ‘1’, the VBAK pin will source approximately 15 µA until VBAK
reaches VDD or 3.75 V, whichever is less. In 3 V systems, this
charges the capacitor to VDD without an external diode and
resistor charger. In 5 V systems, it provides the same
convenience and also prevents the user from exceeding the
VBAK maximum voltage specification.
The IBAK current varies with temperature and voltage (see DC
Electrical Characteristics on page 27). The following graph
shows IBAK as a function of VBAK. These curves are useful for
calculating backup time when a capacitor is used as the VBAK
source.
In the case where no battery is used, the VBAK pin should be tied
according to the following conditions:
Figure 8. IBAK vs. VBAK Voltage
■
For 3.3 V systems, VBAK should be tied to VDD. This assumes
VDD does not exceed 3.75 V.
■
For 5 V systems, attach a 1 µF capacitor to VBAK and turn the
trickle charger on. The VBAK pin will charge to the internal
backup voltage which regulates itself to about 3.6 V. VBAK
should not be tied to 5 V since the VBAK(max) specification will
be exceeded. A 1 µF capacitor will keep the companion
functions working for about 1.5 second.
IBAK (A)
Although VBAK may be connected to VSS, this is not
recommended if the companion is used. None of the companion
functions will operate below about 2.5 V
Note Systems using lithium batteries should clear the VBC bit to
‘0’ to prevent battery charging. The VBAK circuitry includes an
internal 1 K series resistor as a safety element.
Calibration
VBAK (V)
The minimum VBAK voltage varies linearly with temperature. The
user can expect the minimum VBAK voltage to be 1.23 V at
+85 °C and 1.90 V at -40 °C. The tested limit is 1.55 V at +25 °C.
Note The minimum VBAK voltage has been characterized at
-40 °C and +85 °C but is not 100% tested.

Document Number: 001-86391 Rev. *G
When the CAL bit in the register 00h is set to ‘1’, the clock enters
calibration mode. In calibration mode, the CAL/PFO output pin is
dedicated to the calibration function and the power fail output is
temporarily unavailable. Calibration operates by applying a
digital correction to the counter based on the frequency error. In
this mode, the CAL/PFO pin is driven with a 512 Hz (nominal)
square wave. Any measured deviation from 512 Hz translates
into a timekeeping error. The user converts the measured error
in ppm and writes the appropriate correction value to the
calibration register. The correction factors are listed in the table
below. Positive ppm errors require a negative adjustment that
removes pulses. Negative ppm errors require a positive
correction that adds pulses. Positive ppm adjustments have the
CALS (sign) bit set to ‘1’, whereas negative ppm adjustments
have CALS = ‘0’. After calibration, the clock will have a maximum
error of ±2.17 ppm or ±0.09 minutes per month at the calibrated
temperature.
The calibration setting is stored in F-RAM so it is not lost should
the backup source fail. It is accessed with bits CAL(4:0) in
register 01h. This value can be written only when the CAL bit is
set to a ‘1’. To exit the calibration mode, the user must clear the
CAL bit to a ‘0’. When the CAL bit is ‘0’, the CAL/PFO pin will
revert to the power fail output function.

Crystal Oscillator
The crystal oscillator is designed to use a 6 pF crystal without the
need for external components, such as loading capacitors. The
FM3164/FM31256 device has built-in loading capacitors that are
optimized for use with 6 pF crystals.
In the example, R1 and R2 are chosen such that the X2 voltage
is centered around the X1 oscillator drive levels. If you wish to
avoid the DC current, you may choose to drive X1 with an
external clock and X2 with an inverted clock using a CMOS
inverter.
If a 32.768 kHz crystal is not used, an external oscillator may be
connected to the FM3164/FM31256. Apply the oscillator to the
X1 pin. Its high and low voltage levels can be driven rail-to-rail or
amplitudes as low as approximately 500 mV p-p. To ensure
proper operation, a DC bias must be applied to the X2 pin. It
should be centered between the high and low levels on the X1
pin. This can be accomplished with a voltage divider.

Layout Recommendations
The X1 and X2 crystal pins employ very high impedance circuits
and the oscillator connected to these pins can be upset by noise
or extra loading. To reduce RTC clock errors from signal
switching noise, a guard ring must be placed around these pads
and the guard ring grounded. SDA and SCL traces should be
routed away from the X1 / X2 pads. The X1 and X2 trace lengths
should be less than 5 mm. The use of a ground plane on the
backside or inner board layer is preferred. See layout example.
Red is the top layer, green is the bottom layer.

RC
Read Counter. Setting this bit to ‘1’ takes a snapshot of the four counters bytes allowing the system to read the values
without missing count events. The RC bit will be automatically cleared.
CC
Counter Cascade. When CC = ‘0’, the event counters operate independently according to the edge programmed by
C1P and C2P respectively. When CC = ‘1’, the counters are cascaded to create one 32-bit counter. The registers of
Counter 2 represent the most significant 16-bits of the counter and CNT1 is the controlling input. Bit C2P is don’t care
when CC = ‘1’. Battery-backed, read/write.
C2P
CNT2 detects falling edges when C2P = ‘0’, rising edges when C2P = ‘1’. C2P is “don't care” when CC = ‘1’. The
value of Event Counter 2 may inadvertently increment if C2P is changed. Battery-backed, read/write.
C1P
CNT1 detects falling edges when C1P = ‘0’, rising edges when C1P = ‘1’. The value of Event Counter 1 may

Watchdog Enable. When WDE = ‘1’, a watchdog timer fault will cause the RST signal to go active. When WDE = ‘0’
the timer runs but has no effect on RST, however the WTR flag will be set when a fault occurs. Note as the timer is
free-running, users should restart the timer using WR(3:0) prior to setting WDE = ‘1’. This assures a full watchdog
timeout interval occurs. Nonvolatile, read/write.
WDT(4:0)
Watchdog Timeout. Indicates the minimum watchdog timeout interval with 100 ms resolution. New watchdog timeouts
are loaded when the timer is restarted by writing the 1010b pattern to WR(3:0). Nonvolatile, read/write.

FM3164/FM31256
I2C Interface
STOP Condition (P)
The FM3164/FM31256 employs an industry standard I2C bus
that is familiar to many users. This product is unique since it
incorporates two logical devices in one chip. Each logical device
can be accessed individually. Although monolithic, it appears to
the system software to be two separate products. One is a
memory device. It has a Slave Address (Slave ID = 1010b) that
operates the same as a stand-alone memory device. The second
device is a real-time clock and processor companion which have
a unique Slave Address (Slave ID = 1101b).
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 FM3164/FM31256 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.
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
FM3164/FM31256 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 12 and Figure 13 illustrates the
signal conditions that specify the four states. Detailed timing
diagrams are shown in the electrical specifications section.
START Condition (S)
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 FM3164/FM31256 for a new operation.
If during operation the power supply drops below the specified
VTP minimum, any I2C transaction in progress will be aborted
and the system should issue a START condition prior to
performing another operation.

FM3164/FM31256
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.
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 FM3164/FM31256 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
FM3164/FM31256 to attempt to drive the bus on the next clock
while the master is sending a new command such as STOP.

Slave Address
The first byte that the FM3164/FM31256 expects after a START
condition is the slave address. As shown in Figure 15 and
Figure 16, the slave address contains the device type or slave
ID, the device select address bits, and a bit that specifies if the
transaction is a read or a write.
The FM3164/FM31256 has two Slave Addresses (Slave IDs)
associated with two logical devices. Bits 7–4 are the device type
(slave ID) and should be set to 1010b for the memory device.
The other logical device within the FM3164/FM31256 is the
real-time clock and companion. Bits 7-4 are the device type
(slave ID) and should be set to 1101b for the RTC and
companion. A bus transaction with this slave address will not
affect the memory in any way. The figures below illustrate the two
Slave Addresses.
Bits 2–1 are the device select address bits. They must match the
corresponding value on the external address pins to select the
device. Up to four FM3164/FM31256 devices can reside on the
same I2C bus by assigning a different address to each. Bit 0 is

the read/write bit (R/W). R/W = ‘1’ indicates a read operation and
R/W = ‘0’ indicates a write operation.

Addressing Overview - Memory
Addressing Overview - RTC & Companion
After the FM3164/FM31256 (as receiver) acknowledges the
slave address, the master can place the memory address on the
bus for a write operation. The address requires two bytes. The
complete 15-bit address is latched internally. Each access
causes the latched address value to be incremented automatically. The current address is the value that is held in the latch;
either a newly written value or the address following the last
access. The current address will be held for as long
as VDD > VTP or until a new value is written. Reads always use
the current address. A random read address can be loaded by
beginning a write operation as explained below.
The RTC and Processor Companion operate in a similar manner
to the memory, except that it uses only one byte of address.
Addresses 00h to 18h correspond to special function registers.
Attempting to load addresses above 18h is an illegal condition;
the FM3164/FM31256 will return a NACK and abort the I2C
transaction.
After transmission of each data byte, just prior to the
acknowledge, the FM3164/FM31256 increments the internal
address latch. This allows the next sequential byte to be
accessed with no additional addressing. After the last address
(7FFFh) is reached, the address latch will roll over to 0000h.
There is no limit to the number of bytes that can be accessed
with a single read or write operation.
Document Number: 001-86391 Rev. *G
Data Transfer
After the address bytes have been transmitted, data transfer
between the bus master and the FM3164/FM31256 can begin.
For a read operation the FM3164/FM31256 will place 8 data bits
on the bus then wait for an acknowledge from the master. If the
acknowledge occurs, the FM3164/FM31256 will transfer the next
sequential byte. If the acknowledge is not sent, the
FM3164/FM31256 will end the read operation. For a write
operation, the FM3164/FM31256 will accept 8 data bits from the
master then send an acknowledge. All data transfer occurs MSB
(most significant bit) first.

FM3164/FM31256
Memory Operation
bytes may be written. If the end of the address range is reached
internally, the address counter will wrap from 7FFFh to 0000h.
The FM3164/FM31256 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 FM3164/FM31256 and a similar configuration EEPROM during writes. The complete operation for both
writes and reads is explained below.
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.
The memory address for FM3164 range from 0x0000 to
0x1FFFF, and for FM31256, they range from 0x0000 to 0x7FFF.
Memory functionality is described with respect to FM31256 in the
following sections.
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 FM3164/FM31256 uses
no page buffering.
Memory Write Operation
All writes begin with a slave address, then a memory 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

FM3164/FM31256
Memory 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 FM3164/FM31256 uses the internal address latch to
supply the address. In a selective read, the user performs a
procedure to set the address to a specific value.
Current Address & Sequential Read
As mentioned above the FM3164/FM31256 uses an internal
latch to supply the address 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. After receiving the complete slave
address, the FM3164/FM31256 will begin shifting out data from
the current address on the next clock. The current address is the
value held 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 FM3164/FM31256 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 FM3164/FM31256 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 7FFFh, it will wrap around to
0000h on the next read cycle. Figure 19 and Figure 20 below
show the proper operation for current address reads.

operation. According to the write protocol, the bus master then
sends the address bytes that are loaded into the internal address
latch. After the FM3164/FM31256 acknowledges the 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.
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 three 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

All RTC and Companion writes operate in a similar manner to

used and only one byte address is needed instead of two byte
address. Figure 22 illustrates a single byte write to this device.

RTC/Companion Read Operation
As with writes, a read operation begins with the Slave Address.
To perform a register read, the bus master supplies a Slave
Address with the LSB set to ‘1’. This indicates that a read
operation is requested. After receiving the complete Slave
Address, the FM3164/FM31256 will begin shifting data out from
the current register address on the next clock. Auto-increment
operates for the special function registers as with the memory
address. A current address read for the registers look exactly like
the memory except that the device ID is different.
The FM3164/FM31256 contains two separate address registers,
one for the memory address and the other for the register
address. This allows the contents of one address register to be
modified without affecting the current address of the other
register. For example, this would allow an interrupted read to the
memory while still providing fast access to an RTC register. A
subsequent memory read will then continue from the memory
address where it previously left off, without requiring the load of
a new memory address. However, a write sequence always
requires an address to be supplied.

Notes
1. Typical values are at 25 °C, VDD = VDD(typ). Not 100% tested.
2. Full complete operation. Supervisory circuits, RTC, etc operate to lower voltages as specified.
3. The VBAK trickle charger automatically regulates the maximum voltage on this pin for capacitor backup applications.
4. VBAK will source current when trickle charge is enabled (VBC bit = ‘1’), VDD > VBAK, and VBAK < VBAK max.
