DESCRIPTION
The MB85RC1MT is an FRAM (Ferroelectric Random Access Memory) chip in a configuration of 131,072
words
×
8 bits, using the ferroelectric process and silicon gate CMOS process technologies for forming the
nonvolatile memory cells.
Unlike SRAM, the MB85RC1MT is able to retain data without using a data backup battery.
The read/write endurance of the nonvolatile memory cells used for the MB85RC1MT has improved to be at
least 10
13
cycles, significantly outperforming other nonvolatile memory products in the number.
The MB85RC1MT does not need a polling sequence after writing to the memory such as the case of Flash
memory or E
2
PROM.

Functional Description
No Connect pin
Leave this pin open, or connect to VDD or VSS.
Device Address pins
The MB85RC1MT can be connected to the same data bus up to 4 devices.
Device addresses are used in order to identify each of these devices. Connect
these pins to VDD pin or VSS pin externally. Only if the combination of VDD and
VSS pins matches Device Address Code inputted from the SDA pin, the device
operates. In the open pin state, A1 and A2 pins are internally pulled-down and
recognized as the "L" level.
Ground pin
Serial Data I/O pin
This is an I/O pin which performs bidirectional communication for both memory
address and writing/reading data. It is possible to connect multiple devices. It is
an open drain output, so a pull-up resistor is required to be connected to the ex-
ternal circuit.
Serial Clock pin
This is a clock input pin for input/output serial data. Data is sampled on the ris-
ing edge of the clock and output on the falling edge.
Write Protect pin
When the Write Protect pin is the “H” level, the writing operation is disabled.
When the Write Protect pin is the “L” level, the entire memory region can be
overwritten. The reading operation is always enabled regardless of the Write
Protect pin input level. The Write Protect pin is internally pulled down to VSS
pin, and that is recognized as the “L” level (write enabled) when the pin is the
open state.

I
2
C (Inter-Integrated Circuit)
The MB85RC1MT has the two-wire serial interface; the I
2
C bus, and operates as a slave device.
The I
2
C bus defines communication roles of “master” and “slave” devices, with the master side holding the
authority to initiate control. Furthermore, the I
2
C bus connection is possible where a single master device is
connected to multiple slave devices in a party-line configuration. In this case, it is necessary to assign a
unique device address to the slave device, the master side starts communication after specifying the slave
to communicate by addresses.

C COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
The I
2
C bus is a two wire serial interface that uses a bidirectional data bus (SDA) and serial clock (SCL). A
data transfer can only be initiated by the master, which will also provide the serial clock for synchronization.
The SDA signal should change while the SCL is the “L” level. However, as an exception, when starting and
stopping communication sequence, the SDA is allowed to change while the SCL is the “H” level.
• Start Condition
To start read or write operations by the I
2
C bus, change the SDA input from the “H” level to the “L” level while
the SCL input is in the “H” level.
• Stop Condition
To stop the I
2
C bus communication, change the SDA input from the “L” level to the “H” level while the SCL
input is in the “H” level. In the reading operation, inputting the stop condition finishes reading and enters the
standby state. In the writing operation, inputting the stop condition finishes inputting the rewrite data and
enters the standby state.

ACKNOWLEDGE (ACK)
In the I
2
C bus, serial data including memory address or memory information is sent and received in units of
8 bits. The acknowledge signal indicates that every 8 bits of the data is successfully sent and received. The
receiver side usually outputs the “L” level every time on the 9th SCL clock after each 8 bits are successfully
transmitted and received. On the transmitter side, the bus is temporarily released to Hi-Z every time on this
9th clock to allow the acknowledge signal to be received and checked. During this Hi-Z released period, the
receiver side pulls the SDA line down to indicate the “L” level that the previous 8 bits communication is
successfully received.
In case the slave side receives Stop condition before sending or receiving the ACK “L” level, the slave side
stops the operation and enters to the standby state. On the other hand, the slave side releases the bus state
after sending or receiving the NACK “H” level. The master side generates Stop condition or Start condition
in this released bus state.

The transmitter side should always release SDA on the
9th bit. At this time, the receiver side outputs a pull-down
if the previous 8 bits data are received correctly (ACK re-
sponse).
