64Kb Processor Companion targets consumer markets
Ramtron International Corporation launched the FM3130, a 64-Kilobit (Kb), 3-volt FRAM-Enhanced™ Processor Companion product that combines the benefits of nonvolatile ferroelectric RAM with an integrated real-time clock/calendar (RTC) in one tiny package. The FM3130 has been streamlined to reduce system cost and board space in consumer and computing applications, supporting commonly-needed system functions in products such as printers and high-definition televisions (HDTVs), without the need for discrete components.
New FRAM-Enhanced™ single-chip solution offered in a tiny package with an enhanced real-time clock
The FM3130 combines 64Kb of FRAM with a real-time clock/calendar (RTC) that incorporates an alarm and a programmable frequency clock output, and uses a common 12pF watch crystal. The alarm compares user-programmed alarm values to corresponding RTC time/date values, creating an ideal solution for automatic on/off, channel switch and parental control and personal video recorder (PVR) functions in high-end televisions.
