Description

The FM31xxx is a family of integrated devices that

includes the most commonly needed functions for

processor-based systems. Major features include

nonvolatile memory available in various sizes, real-

time clock, low-VDD reset, watchdog timer,

nonvolatile event counter, lockable 64-bit serial

number area, and general purpose comparator that

can be used for an early power-fail (NMI) interrupt or

other purpose. The family operates from 2.7 to 5.5V.

Each FM31xxx provides nonvolatile RAM available

in sizes including 4Kb, 16Kb, 64Kb, and 256Kb

versions. Fast write speed and unlimited endurance

allow the memory to serve as extra RAM or

conventional nonvolatile storage. This memory is

truly nonvolatile rather than battery backed.

The real-time clock (RTC) provides time and date

information in BCD format. It can be permanently

powered from external backup voltage source, either

a battery or a capacitor. The timekeeper uses a

common external 32.768 kHz crystal and provides a

calibration mode that allows software adjustment of

timekeeping accuracy.

This is a product in development. Characteristic data

and other specifications are subject to change without notice.

The processor companion includes commonly needed

CPU support functions. Supervisory functions

include a reset output signal controlled by either a

low VDD condition or a watchdog timeout. /RST

goes active when VDD drops below a programmable

threshold and remains active for 100 ms after VDD

rises above the trip point. A programmable watchdog

timer runs from 100 ms to 3 seconds. The watchdog

timer is optional, but if enabled it will assert the reset

signal for 100 ms if not restarted by the host before

the timeout. A flag-bit indicates the source of the

reset.

A general-purpose comparator compares an external

input pin to the onboard 1.2V reference. This is

useful for generating a power-fail interrupt (NMI) but

can be used for any purpose. The family also includes

a programmable 64-bit serial number that can be

locked making it unalterable. Additionally it offers a

dual battery-backed event counter that tracks the

number of rising or falling edges detected on

dedicated input pins.
