More info: http://www.ti.com/ww/en/mcu/fram_ultra_low_power_embedded_memory/fram_mcu_f= aqs.htm I think TI hinted this long ago (2009?) but only delivered now. http://embeddedgurus.com/stack-overflow/2009/09/fram-in-embedded-systems/ TI is not the first either, after Ramtron and Fujitsu. http://www10.edacafe.com/nbc/articles/view_article.php?section=3DICNews&art= icleid=3D273536 http://www.eetimes.com/electronics-news/4215674/TI-s-FRAM-MCU-signals-that-= fabs-are-back?pageNumber=3D0 Interestingly, there are customers who specifies FRAM to be used in our applications (industrial automation). On the other hand, the TI MSP430 is not for our application though -- way too slow and we do not need that kind of low power feature. --=20 Xiaofan --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
