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:
“The successor to politics will be propaganda. Propaganda, not in the sense of a message or ideology, but as the impact of the whole technology of the times.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“It is too late in the century for women who have received the benefits of co-education in schools and colleges, and who bear their full share in the world’s work, not to care who make the laws, who expound and who administer them.”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
