  • Frequently Asked Questions

    Q:
    What are the key design and functional advantages of F-RAM
    over BBSRAM?

    A:

    F-RAM is superior to BBSRAM modules because of the following design and functional attributes:
    • No battery concerns
    • Monolithic reliability
    • True surface mount solution, no rework steps
    • Superior for moisture, shock, and vibration
    • Resistant to negative voltage undershoots


    Q:
    Are there any design limitations of F-RAM devices used in place of BBSRAM modules?

    A:
    There are many applications where F-RAM is the most suitable choice, and there are some instances where F-RAM is not considered as fast as BBSRAM. We invite you to learn more about FRAM product details.

    Q: How long has F-RAM been in production?

    A: Nonvolatile ferroelectric random access memory (F-RAM) products have been in commercial production since 1993. Ramtron has sold over 300-million F-RAM devices worldwide, making Ramtron the leading developer and supplier of standalone and integrated F-RAM semiconductor products.
