Endurance
The FM25W64 devices are capable of being accessed
at least 10
memory operates with a read and restore mechanism.
Therefore, an endurance cycle is applied on a row
basis for each access (read or write) to the memory
array. The F-RAM architecture is based on an array
of rows and columns. Rows are defined by A12-A3
and column addresses by A2-A0.

64-bits each. The entire row is internally accessed
once whether a single byte or all eight bytes are read
or written. Each byte in the row is counted only once
in an endurance calculation. The table below shows
endurance calculations for 64-byte repeating loop,
which includes an op-code, a starting address, and a
sequential 64-byte data stream. This causes each byte
to experience one endurance cycle through the loop.
F-RAM read and write endurance is virtually
unlimited even at 20MHz clock rate.
