FRAMs have a maximum write count?
Well yes, 10^14 writes! ;)
So, let's see--for a system powered on and writing once per microsecond
would hae 10^8 seconds worth of writing; given that there are about 3*10^7
seconds in a year, that would be roughly 3.3 years of continuous operation,
no?
But the Ramtron squib for the FM18L08 says:
"FRAM is known for high write-endurance. Until now, some applications
needed more cycles than FRAM could offer. No longer! The FM18L08 offers
virtually unlimited read/write cycles. You can now access each address a
million times per second for hundreds of years with no wear out. "
So, is 10^14 an accurate figure?
