Not quiet right. I just looked up on datasheet at Ramtron. The max. bus-freq. is 1E6 Hz for a 256KB FRAM. 20bits to read memory => max. 50000 reads/s The chip I look at has an endurance of 1E10, gives 200.000s ~= 138d. Also not forever, but slightly longer :-) > As always, design with your eyes open! Anyway a good hint :-) -- 42Bastian Schick
