Ferroelectric RAM (FRAM; or FeRAM) combines the advantages of ROM and RAM, and has the conditions of non-volatile, high-speed writing, high tolerance, low power consumption, etc. In the past few years, the market has been expanding, especially in industrial applications. With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), FRAM is also expected to find more new business opportunities on various smart networking devices.

Fujitsu Semiconductor, a Japanese company that has been working in FRAM technology for 15 years, has shipped more than 2.5 billion units worldwide since its first measurement of FRAM components in 1999. It has a diverse selection of products; Fujitsu Semiconductor is a senior Product engineer Xie Jinghua said that the company's FRAM began with the use of smart cards (traffic tickets, financial cards) and RFID applications in Japan, and gradually expanded into diversified applications such as medical, smart meters and industrial automation equipment. It provides 4Kbit~4Mbit serial serial (I2C, SPI) and side-by-side interface products.

Fujitsu Semiconductor's FRAM product line includes stand-alone memory, RFID/Verification System-on-Chip (LSI) with built-in FRAM, and custom solutions; Xie Jinghua points out that Fujitsu's FRAM products are designed, packaged, and tested. It is carried out within the company and has been recognized by customers in terms of technology maturity, product reliability and supply stability. The company also continues to research and develop technology. Currently, its FRAM products guarantee 1 megabyte of read and write operations. Durability, low power consumption and write speed performance are among the best in the industry.

FRAM's high durability and high-speed writing characteristics make it particularly advantageous in industrial automation applications, contributing to cost savings and increased productivity. Smart meters are also the main application of Fujitsu FRAM products. According to statistics, there are currently 3,000 on the market. More than 10,000 smart meters use FRAM as built-in memory. Xie Jinghua said that the capacity of FRAM for smart meter applications will vary according to national regulations and policies. For example, the China Smart Meter Market, which is growing particularly fast, uses 64Kbit application specifications. Fujitsu can also provide customers according to different needs of customers. Systemization plan.

In addition, including payment machines, vending machines, ticket machines, gaming machines and other trading equipment, as well as automotive and medical related applications, is also a promising FRAM application business opportunity; especially in the medical field, hospitals' large medical testing equipment, valuable medical equipment Tracking management, as well as a variety of personalized personalization, home small medical equipment, such as portable insulin syringes, blood glucose meters, oximetry, breathing aids, etc., are all available for FRAM. Xie Jinghua emphasized that Fujitsu will continue to actively promote the application advantages of FRAM, and expand the diversified application of this new generation of non-volatile memory.
