The MB85RC16 is an FRAM (Ferroelectric Random Access Memory) chip in a configuration of 2,048 words × 8 bits, using the ferroelectric process and silicon gate CMOS process technologies for forming the nonvolatile memory cells. Unlike SRAM, the MB85RC16 is able to retain data without using a data backup battery. The memory cells used in the MB85RC16 have at least 1012 Read/Write operation endurance per byte, which is a significant improvement over the number of read/write operations than by other nonvolatile memory products. The MB85RC16 can provide writing in one byte units because the long writing time is not required unlike Flash memory and E2PROM.

■ APPLICATIONS
As high-speed data communication advances and data is transmitted more frequently, the need for non-volatile memory that can withstand such frequent data recording operation increases. In addition, faster writing speed that enables data to be recorded without error even in the event of a sudden power outage by an accident is required for memory.
Fujitsu FRAM is one of memory devices with the features of high read/write endurance and fast writing speed required in this new era of IoT, automotive, industrial(for facility and infrastructure), smart meters, enterprise, consumer, medical, networking.
