Description
A(12:0)
Input
Address: The 13 address lines select one of 8,192 bytes in the F-RAM array. The
address value is latched on the falling edge of /CE.
DQ(7:0)
/CE
I/O
Input
Data: 8-bit bi-directional data bus for accessing the F-RAM array.
Chip Enable: /CE selects the device when low. Asserting /CE low causes the
address to be latched internally. Address changes that occur after /CE goes low
will be ignored until the next falling edge occurs.
/OE
Input
Input
Output Enable: Asserting /OE low causes the FM1608B to drive the data bus when
valid data is available. Deasserting /OE high causes the DQ pins to be tri-stated.
Write Enable: Asserting /WE low causes the FM1608B to write the contents of the
data bus to the address location latched by the falling edge of /CE.
