256 Kbit FRAM vs. serial EEPROM — the endurance difference
The 256 Kbit density (32K x 8) is a common sweet spot for parameter storage or event logs.
Package and supply-chain details
The FM24V02A-G ships in a Tube (the -G suffix denotes the tube variant; a -GTR suffix would indicate tape-and-reel). For volume production or a BOM line that needs dual sourcing, the closest functional sibling is the FM24V01A-GTR (128 Kbit, same 130 ns access, same I²C interface, same 8-SOIC footprint), though the density difference means a firmware change if the memory map expects 256 Kbit.
