I think you’re mistaken about FRAM and MRAM. They are byte oriented devices
and are designed to replace SRAM + battery. Which in my mind makes them
preferable as they reduce parts count. The current MRAM has unlimited write
endurance (same as SRAM) and depending upon the part is 35-55ns access/cycle
time. FRAM has a similar access time but requires an internal restore so it’s cycle
time is about 2x (one of the reasons I prefer MRAM now).
