#95142 - FRAM life
Responding to: ???'s previous message
You know Jan, I've seen that 10^12 and infinite too. Your first response had me checking your 10^10 value, but my stored PDFs confirmed it. Perhaps the longer life is on the website. Interestingly, Electronics Times ran an article some time back, stating that Ferromagnetic memeory couldn't manage much more than 10^9, and the scientific reasons why. Do RAMTRON know something no-one else does?

And I agree with you; 6 years is not enough! Some people think that the latest IC packages will degrade in 3 years or less due to corrosion (plastic not being fully hermetic). I wouldn't buy expensive electronics for a year or two after July 2006. I suspect Pb-free re-flowing techniques (not to mention tin ion migration) may take a little while to mature...
