The Excelon-Ultra CY15x104QSN is a high-performance, 4-Mbit
 Advanced high-reliability ferroelectric process
nonvolatile memory employing an advanced ferroelectric
 Single and multi I/O serial peripheral interface (SPI)
process. A ferroelectric random access memory or F-RAM is
nonvolatile and performs reads and writes similar to a RAM. It

caused by serial flash and other nonvolatile memories.
 Supports SPI mode 0 (0, 0) for all DDR mode transfers
 Extended I/O SPI protocols Unlike serial flash, the CY15x104QSN performs write operations
at bus speed. No write delays are incurred. Data is written to the
 Dual SPI (DPI) protocols
memory array immediately after each byte is successfully

transferred to the device. The next bus cycle can commence

without the need for data polling. In addition, the product offers
 Up to 108-MHz frequency SPI Single Data Rate (SDR)

 Up to 54-MHz frequency SPI Double Data Rate (DDR) memories. The CY15x104QSN is capable of supporting 10
read/write cycles, or 100 million times more write cycles than
 Execute-in-place (XIP) for memory read/write
EEPROM. These capabilities make the CY15x104QSN ideal for
nonvolatile memory applications, requiring frequent or rapid
 Write protection, data security, and data integrity
writes. Examples range from data collection, where the number

of write cycles may be critical, to demanding industrial controls
where the long write time of serial flash can cause data loss.
 Software block protection
