DESCRIPTION
The MB85RC16V is an FRAM (Ferroelectric Random Access Memory) chip in a configuration of 2,048 words
×
8 bits, using the ferroelectric process and silicon gate CMOS process technologies for forming the nonvolatile
memory cells.
Unlike SRAM, the MB85RC16V is able to retain data without using a data backup battery.
The memory cells used in the MB85RC16V have at least 10
12
Read/Write operation endurance per byte,
which is a significant improvement over the number of read and write operations supported by other non-
volatile memory products.
The MB85RC16V can provide writing in one byte units because the long writing time is not required unlike
Flash memory and E
2
PROM. Therefore, the writing completion waiting sequence like a write busy state is
not required.

Functional Description
No Connect pins
Leave these pins open, or connect to VDD or VSS.
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 external
circuit.
Serial Clock pin
This is a clock input pin for input/output timing serial data. Data is sampled on the
rising edge of the clock and output on the falling edge.
Write Protect pin
When the Write Protect pin is the “H” level, writing operation is disabled. When the
Write Protect pin is the “L” level, the entire memory region can be overwritten.
Reading operation is always enabled regardless of the Write Protect pin input level.
The write protect pin is internally pulled down to the VSS pin and, that is recognized
as the “L” level (write enabled) when the pin is the open state.

I

C (Inter-Integrated Circuit)
The MB85RC16V 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, an I
2
C bus connection is possible where a single master device is
connected to multiple slave devices in a party-line configuration.

C COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
The I
2
C bus provides communication by two wires only, therefore, the SDA input should change while SCL
is the “L” level. However, when starting and stopping the communication sequence, SDA is allowed to change
while 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 response).

MEMORY ADDRESS STRUCTURE
The MB85RC16V has the memory address buffer to store the 11-bit information for the memory address.
As for byte write, page write and random read commands, the complete 11-bit memory address is configured
by inputting the memory upper address (3 bits) and the memory lower address (8 bits), and saved to the
memory address buffer. Then access to the memory is performed.
As for a current address read command, the complete 11-bit memory address is configured and saved to
the memory address buffer, by inputting the memory upper address (3 bits) and the memory lower address
(8 bits) which has saved in the memory address buffer. Then access to the memory is performed.
