GXSC FRAM Replaces FM25V20A/MB85RS2MT for Industrial Internet Applications

As the platform connecting devices, data, and processes, the Industrial Internet is driving the transformation of manufacturing toward intelligence, networking, and flexibility. It enables efficient collaboration and optimization across the entire manufacturing chain, with industrial equipment connectivity rates now reaching 85%. The core value of the Industrial Internet lies in “data-driven” operations, where data storage forms the foundation for data collection, transmission, analysis, and application.

Industrial equipment may encounter sudden power outages or unstable power supply during operation. Storage devices must retain collected data and equipment configuration information intact after power loss to prevent production interruptions and decision errors caused by data loss. Additionally, industrial sensors and smart controllers require high-frequency collection of equipment operating parameters (e.g., voltage, current, vibration data). This demands storage devices with high-speed read/write capabilities to enable real-time data storage and rapid retrieval, adapting to high-frequency data interaction scenarios.

The GXSC FRAM is configured as 262,144 × 8 bits, utilizing ferroelectric and silicon-gate CMOS processes to form non-volatile memory. Its read/write speed reaches 1E11 read/write cycles, far exceeding the cycle count of traditional EEPROM. Frequent EEPROM use risks wear and data loss. write operations, far exceeding the endurance of traditional EEPROMs. Frequent EEPROM operations risk wear and data loss. GXSC FRAM‘s high durability ensures stable data storage and retrieval during industrial equipment operation, safeguarding long-term stable performance. GXSC FRAM offers pin-to-pin replacement compatibility with Cypress FM25V20A and Fujitsu MB85RS2MT, with key performance metrics shown below:

Core advantages of GXSC FRAM include:

• Low power consumption: 4.5 mA, with standby power as low as 1 μA, making it ideal for low-power devices like industrial IoT endpoints (e.g., wireless sensor nodes)

• High-speed response: Read/write endurance reaches 1E11 operations, significantly surpassing FLASH and EEPROM.

• Long lifespan: Data retention capability of 10 years @ 85°C (200 years @ 25°C), ensuring data preservation under prolonged harsh environmental conditions.

• High operating frequency: Both operate at 25MHz and support 40MHz high-speed read commands, meeting demanding data access requirements in high-speed applications.

• Compact packaging: Available in SOP8 150mil and SOP8 208mil packages, offering small footprint, easy installation, and solderability to save PCB space.
