Cypress enables mission-critical data capture in industrial iot applications

     Cypress Semiconductor Corporation announced that embedded systems retailer MikroElektronika(MikroE) has adopted Cypress 4-Mb serial ferroelectric random access memory (F-RAM4) in its latest Click BoardM board with mikroBUST4 interface. FRAM2ClickBoard is a compact plug-and-play solution for evaluating the data logging and processing capabilities of Cypress F-RAM, effectively accelerating the prototyping and development process for industrial iot applications.

     The Cypress 4-Mb Serial F-RAM series is the ideal memory choice for industrial iot applications as well as low-power applications such as smart meters, test and measurement devices, wireless sensor nodes and factory equipment that require high-performance, highly reliable non-volatile data capture. The memory series features a 40-Mhz serial peripheral interface (SPI) with an operating voltage of 2.0V-3.6V and is RoHS compliant in an 8-pin industry standard package. All Cypress F-RAM products have 100 trillion (10^14) read/write cycle durability and data retention up to 10 years at 85°C and 151 years at 65°C. Cypress's low-power F-RAM memory is ideal for applications that require high frequency and highly reliable continuous recording of data.

      Aleksandar Mitrovic, Product Marketing Manager at MikroElektronika, said: "Our Click Board has become the industry standard for prototyping new iot applications. The realization of intelligent industrial equipment requires fast data recording, but also needs to consider power consumption. Cypress's F-RAM combines high speed, reliability and low power consumption, making it the perfect fit for ClickBoard to meet our customers' Industrial iot design needs."

     Douglass Mitchell, Senior Product Marketing Manager, RAM, Cypress, said: "The development of Industry 4.0 has pushed semiconductor suppliers to provide solutions to enable intelligent plant equipment. For Industrial iot systems that require reliable and durable data logging, high-performance non-volatile memory such as Cypress F-RAM is essential for recording critical data. MikroE's new ClickBoard uses our F-RAM products to provide a fast and easy prototyping method for Industrial iot developers.
