Compatible with MB85RS2MT, FRAM GX85RS2MC can be used in medical infusion pumps and ventilators

As medical devices become more powerful and sophisticated, they dramatically improve accuracy, reliability, connectivity and ease of use, while ensuring the security of user health information. These new advanced features require greater processing power, security, and also elevate the memory requirements of data storage systems.

Currently, traditional EEPROM and Flash write cycles have limited endurance, while some medical devices need to reliably store a log of data that is updated at any time, such as medical infusion pumps and ventilators. the FRAM GX85RS2MC‘s memory cell can be used for up to one million reads and writes, with a data retention of: 10 years @ 85°C (200 years @ 25°C). this endurance allows these medical devices to record more of user data.

In addition, instant non-volatility is another important feature of the GX85RS2MC technology, which allows these medical systems, as well as other battery-powered systems, to be powered down completely or to switch the system to a low-power standby mode much faster (maximum power consumption of 5mA, standby current of only 7μA). The shorter operating time and reduced operating current significantly extends the battery life of the system. And in applications with precise timing requirements, they also contribute to enhanced data reliability because it does not fear power failures.

The GX85RS2MC is available in a small, space-saving SOP8 package, supports an SPI serial interface, operates in an ambient temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, and has performance that is fully compatible with the MB85RS2MT (Fujitsu) and the FM25V20A (Cypress), so that it can meet the needs of these medical devices with optimal performance.

In summary: The GX85RS2MC‘s key features of non-volatility, data reliability, low power consumption and compact form factor make the chip ideal for portable and implantable medical devices.
