fm24cl04 rev. 3.1 may 2009 page 3 of 11 overview the fm24cl04 is a serial fram memory. the memory array is logically organized as 512 x 8 and is accessed using an industry standard two-wire interface. functional operation of the fram is similar to serial eeproms. the major difference between the fm24cl04 and a serial eeprom with the same pinout relates to its superior write performance. memory architecture when accessing the fm24cl04, the user addresses 512 locations each with 8 data bits. these data bits are shifted serially. the 512 addresses are accessed using the two-wire protocol, which includes a slave address (to distinguish other devices), a page address, and a word address. the word address consists of 8- bits that specify one of 256 addresses. the page address is 1-bit and so there are 2 pages each of 256 locations. the complete address of 9-bits specifies each byte address uniquely. most functions of the fm24cl04 either are controlled by the two-wire interface or are handled automatically by on-board circuitry. the memory is read or written at the speed of the two-wire bus. unlike an eeprom, it is not necessary to poll the device for a ready condition since writes occur at bus speed. that is, by the time a new bus transaction can be shifted into the part, a write operation will be complete. this is explained in more detail in the interface section below. users can expect several obvious system benefits from the fm24cl04 due to its fast write cycle and high endurance as compared with eeprom. however there are less obvious benefits as well. for example in a high noise environment, the fast-write operation is less susceptible to corruption than an eeprom since it is completed quickly. by contrast an eeprom requiring milliseconds to write is vulnerable to noise during much of the cycle. note that the fm24cl04 contains no power management circuits other than a simple internal power-on reset. it is the user?s responsibility to ensure that v dd is within data sheet tolerances to prevent incorrect operation. two-wire interface the fm24cl04 employs a bi-directional two-wire bus protocol using few pins and little board space. figure 2 illustrates a typical system configuration using the fm24cl04 in a microcontroller-based system. the industry standard two-wire bus is familiar to many users but is described in this section. 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 fm24cl04 is always a slave device. the bus protocol is controlled by transition states in the sda and scl signals. there are four conditions: start, stop, data bit, and acknowledge. figure 3 illustrates the signal conditions that specify the four states. detailed timing diagrams are shown in the electrical specifications. microcontroller sda scl fm24cl04 a1 a2 sda scl fm24cl64 a0 a1 a2 vdd rmin = 1.1 k ? rmax = tr/cbus figure 2. typical system configuration
fm24cl04 rev. 3.1 may 2009 page 4 of 11 figure 3. data transfer protocol stop condition a stop condition is indicated when the bus master drives sda from low to high while the scl signal is high. all operations must end with a stop condition. if an operation is pending when a stop is asserted, the operation will be aborted. the master must have control of sda (not a memory read) in order to assert a stop condition. start condition a start condition is indicated when the bus master drives sda from high to low while the scl signal is high. all read and write transactions begin with 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 fm24cl04 for a new operation. if during operation the power supply drops below the specified v dd minimum, the system should issue a start condition prior to performing another operation. data/address transfer all data transfers (including addresses) take place while the scl signal is high. except under the two conditions described above, the sda signal should not change while scl is high. acknowledge the acknowledge takes place after the 8 th 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 could fail to acknowledge for two distinct reasons. first, if a byte transfer fails, the no- acknowledge ends 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 the data to deliberately end an operation. for example, during a read operation, the fm24cl04 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 fm24cl04 to attempt to drive the bus on the next clock while the master is sending a new command such as a stop command. slave address the first byte that the fm24cl04 expects after a start condition is the slave address. as shown in figure 4, the slave address contains the device type, the device select, the page of memory to be accessed, and a bit that specifies if the transaction is a read or a write. bits 7-4 are the device type and should be set to 1010b for the fm24cl04. the device type allows other types of functions to reside on the 2-wire bus within an identical address range. bits 3-2 are the device address. if bit 3 matches the a2 pin and bit 2 matches the a1 pin the device will be selected. bit 1 is the page select. it specifies the 256-byte block of memory that is targeted for the current operation. bit 0 is the read/write bit. a 0 indicates a write operation. word address after the fm24cl04 (as receiver) acknowledges the slave id, the master will 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.
fm24cl04 rev. 3.1 may 2009 page 5 of 11 figure 4. slave address 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 9 th 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 fm24cl04 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 all address information has been transmitted, data transfer between the bus master and the fm24cl04 can begin. for a read operation the fm24cl04 will place 8 data bits on the bus then wait for an acknowledge. if the acknowledge occurs, the next sequential byte will be transferred. if the acknowledge is not sent, the read operation is concluded. for a write operation, the fm24cl04 will accept 8 data bits from the master then send an acknowledge. all data transfer occurs msb (most significant bit) first. memory operation the fm24cl04 is designed to operate in a manner very similar to other 2-wire interface memory products. the major differences result from the higher performance write capability of fram technology. these improvements result in some differences between the fm24cl04 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 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. unlike other nonvolatile memory technologies, there is no write delay with fram. 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 done condition. an actual memory array write occurs after the 8 th 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 a start or stop condition prior to the 8 th data bit. the fm24cl04 needs no page buffering. pulling write protect high will disable writes to the entire array. the fm24cl04 will not acknowledge data bytes that are written when write protect is asserted. in addition, the address counter will not increment if writes are attempted. pulling wp low (v ss ) will deactivate this feature. figure 5 below illustrates both a single- and multiple- byte write.
