F-RAM Technology Benefits
Fast write speed F-RAM performs read and write operations at the same speed. Because F-RAM writes data at bus speed, there are no delays before the written data becomes non-volatile. Floating gate memories have long write delays of 5 milliseconds. F-RAM writes in nanoseconds.
High endurance F-RAM offers virtually unlimited write endurance, which allows it to write much more often than non-volatile memory devices. Floating gate devices experience a hard failure and stop writing in as little as 100,000 cycles, making them unsuitable for write-intensive applications.
Low power consumption F-RAM operates without a charge pump, enabling low power consumption. Floating gate devices demand high voltage during write operations. F-RAM writes at the native voltage of the manufacturing process: 5V, 3V, 1.8V, or even less on more advanced processes.

Famous quotes containing the words technology and/or benefits:
“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
“It is with benefits as with injuries in this respect, that we do not so much weigh the accidental good or evil they do us, as that which they were designed to do us.—That is, we consider no part of them so much as their intention.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
