Folks I saw this too and called for samples.  We have some folks who kill
our Micorchip EEProms right and left.  It was my first design using them
and I didnt expect people to use them like they do.  Anyway I used 5V and
the worst reading and writting methods alive.  To make a long story short
MC's EE's smoke about once a month.  I tried the samples from FRAM and
they rock!  Very little code mod was necessary in my xlinx(yea i have to
ship a new prom with the frams).  But these things last forever at 5V(MC
wants 3V for long life).  I put them to the test overnight and only had 4
read back errors after 5mil r/w cycles.  Oh yea they are a wee bit more
expensive but hey I am an engineer not a purchasing agent :)
