How to use FRAM (WinCE)

Overview

• FRAM is a non-volatile memory used to perform read and write operation similar to RAM and provides fast writes at full interface speed.
• FRAM does not have any write delays and data is instantly nonvolatile.
• FRAM's advantages:

1. Lower power usage
2. Faster write performance
3. Greater maximum read/write endurance (about 10¹⁰ to 10¹⁴ cycles).
