If you take a look at the datasheet at ramtron, it says that it DOES have a
write AND READ limitation, although it is high (10 billion cycles), it
isn't as high as SRAM. I think the reason why I sorta had it in the back of
my mind that there was a big limitation to FRAM was because it has a read
limitation. However, considering that writes only take a few 100ns instead
of several milliseconds with EEPROM, there are some advantages I guess.
