Ramtron had most of the patents on Ferroelectric RAM in the past.
Cypress acquired them many years ago.
New production FRAM is still sold on Digikey - in 5V SOIC packages. Not
cheap though:
8K x 8 - $12.72 (qty 1):

32K x 8 - $19.54 (qty 1):

Completely non-volatile. Faster than most SRAM of the day (130ns cycle
time). And good for 100+ trillion write cycles and more than a century
of endurance.

Subject: Core memory emulator using non volatile ram.
I have an idea to produce an MM-8 clone using RAM that acts like core
when turned off.
Can anybody suggest a chip that will do this?
