MR48V256A
32,768-Word 8-Bit FeRAM (Ferroelectric Random Access Memory)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MR48V256A is a nonvolatile 32,768-word x 8-bit ferroelectric random access memory (FeRAM) developed
in the ferroelectric process and silicon-gate CMOS technology. Unlike SRAMs, this device, whose cells are
nonvolatile, eliminates battery backup required to hold data. This device has no mechanisms of erasing and
programming memory cells and blocks, such as those used for various EEPROMs. Therefore, the write cycle
time can be equal to the read cycle time and the power consumption during a write can be reduced significantly.
The MR48V256A can be used in various applications, because the device is guaranteed for the write/read
tolerance of 1012 cycles per bit and the rewrite count can be extended significantly.

Description
Chip enable (input, negative logic)
Latches an address by low input, activates the FeRAM, and enables a read or write
operation.
Output enable (input, negative logic)
The FeRAM is in read mode when the FeRAM is active and this pin is low, and data is
output after the specified time.
Write enable (input, negative logic)
The FeRAM is in write mode when the FeRAM is active and this pin is low, and data is
capture at the timing of WE#="H" or CE#="H", whichever is earlier.
Address (input)
The FeRAM captures an address at the timing when CE#="L" is established.
3-state data bus (input/output)
Outputs data in the read mode, and captures data in the write mode.
Power supply
Apply the specified voltage to VCC. Connect VSS to ground.

Notes:
1. To prevent an erroneous operation, be sure to maintain CE#="H", and set the FeRAM in an inactive state
(standby mode) before and after power-on and power-off.
2. Powering on at the intermediate voltage level will cause an erroneous operation; thus, be sure to power up
from 0 V.
3. Enter all signals at the same time as power-on or enter all signals after power-on.
