Is FeRAM just a fancy version of DDR? 1T-1C cell dielectric layer read requires cap refresh volatile <50nm refresh ~65ms FeRAM 1T-1C cell ferroelectric layer (PZT) read requires cap refresh non-volatile (sorta) 130nm refresh not needed

Read/Write process Read force cell to '0' state reorientation of atoms causes a pulse sent to driveline prior state was '1' - pulse is detected prior state was '0' - pulse not detected refresh state Write charge forces a polarity change write '0' write '1' read wordline assert bitline gnd vdd float driveline

Why FRAM? Rough Comparison (1st generation) source: TI's presentation on FRAM

More Detailed / Overall Memory Products Comparison source:http://www.fujitsu.com/emea/services/microelectronics/fram/technology/

Memory Product Comparison On Power and Size source: presentation (titled Novel Memory Architectures) by Insoo Kim / Feng Wang, The Penn State Universitym on Mar. 23th, 2005

FRAM vs EEPROM 1/30,000 Write Time 1/20 Energy -- 1/400 Power source: http://www.fujitsu.com/emea/services/microelectronics/fram/technology/

FRAM vs EEPROM 100,000 Times Better ENDURANCE source: http://www.fujitsu.com/emea/services/microelectronics/fram/technology/

FRAM vs FLASH Less Power and Faster Speed source: http://www.ti.com.cn/mcu/cn/docs/mcuproductcontentnp.tsp?familyId=1751&sectionId=95&tabId=2840&family=mcu

FRAM vs FLASH Much Better Endurance source: http://www.ti.com.cn/mcu/cn/docs/mcuproductcontentnp.tsp?familyId=1751&sectionId=95&tabId=2840&family=mcu

FRAM vs SRAM SRAM is better at: Price & Speed(not that much) FRAM is more Flexible (all-in-one memories) source: http://www.ti.com.cn/mcu/cn/docs/mcuproductcontentnp.tsp?familyId=1751&sectionId=95&tabId=2840&family=mcu

FRAM vs DRAM When density and price are most important (for example, memories for pixels) DRAM is best choice FRAM cannot replace DRAM yet

FRAM getting better at density! Currently: up to 4Mbits (according to TI's data) Not as good as DRAM and SRAM Better than EEPROM and FLASH Expected: As good as DRAM

Take-away Point: FRAM combines Advantages! source: http://www.ti.com.cn/mcu/cn/docs/mcuproductcontentnp.tsp?familyId=1751&sectionId=95&tabId=2840&family=mcu

Application Benefits Low Power Consumption Fast Write Speed Good For: Low energy access systems Reason: Write cycles require less power (RFID) Fast Write Speed Good For: High noise environment Reason: Short write time limits window of vulnerability High Endurance Good For: Diagnostic and maintenance systems Reason: No restriction of system state writes Misc Resistant to Gamma Radiation (70kGray) unlike EEPROM AEC-Grade 1 adder cheaper than other nonvolatile memory

Application Drawbacks Low Storage Density Bad For: Storing large amounts of data Reason: Poor density compared to DRAM & SRAM Higher Cost

Current Applications Automotive Computing Shift-by-Wire/Navigation/Anti-Pinch Control Computing Solid State Drive/LAN Bypass/Network Router http://www.ramtron.com/applications/computing.aspx

Current Applications Metering Industrial RFID/Wireless Memory Advanced Metering/Gaming/POS Systems Industrial Motion Control/Process Controls RFID/Wireless Memory Wireless Datalogging/Gamma Radiation http://www.ramtron.com/applications/metering.aspx
