F-RAM for Smart E-Meters Slide 5

The F-RAM Solution for Smart E-Meters is Simple and Superior. Cypress challenges the customer to simplify the complex, EEPROM-based design by choosing F-RAM as the nonvolatile memory solution and thereby producing superior Smart E-Meters at a lower cost. In the EEPROM design, the engineer has multiple densities to account for Wear Leveling. In addition, there is Wear leveling software that will add cost. Now add in the extra capacitance or batteries to hold the system up for Soak time. Shown on the next page are calculations of what that costs to system design. The engineer can replace them with a single pin to pin replacement for EEPROM to F-RAM and thereby producing superior Smart E-Meters at a lower cost.
