Preliminary
WM72016
16Kbit Secure F-RAM Memory with Gen-2 RFID Access & Serial Port Direct Memory Access
DESCRIPTION
The WM72016 is a RFID transponder IC with nonvolatile memory employing an advanced ferroelectric process. A ferroelectric random access memory, or F-RAM, is nonvolatile and performs reads and writes like a RAM. It provides reliable data retention for 20 years while eliminating the complexities, overhead, and system level reliability problems caused by EEPROM and other nonvolatile memories. Unlike EEPROM‟s, the WM72016 write operations are zero power – there is no power or speed premium paid for executing writes into the WM72016 as compared to read power and speed. Operation of the memory is fully symmetric: it has an equivalent read and write range.
