FRAM memory: why it changes the BOM
Its 64 KB of FRAM program memory combines the non-volatility of Flash with the write endurance and speed of RAM — rated for 10^15 write cycles, so it handles frequent data logging or parameter updates without wearing out. The 2 KB of SRAM backs the stack and scratchpad. This part targets industrial sensing, metering, and portable instrumentation where low power and field-reprogrammability matter.
Peripherals and I/O for sensor-heavy designs
The integrated 8-channel 12-bit ADC with DMA can sample and store data without CPU intervention — useful for power-sensitive metering loops. On-chip brown-out reset, POR, and a watchdog timer reduce external supervision ICs.
Supply and temperature range for industrial environments
Lifecycle and ordering
For new designs, this means standard lead times through authorized distribution. Cut Tape quantities are also available for prototyping.
