MB85RC256V I2C Non-Volatile FRAM Breakout Module

The MB85RC256V FRAM Breakout Module is a compact, high-reliability non-volatile memory development tool designed for engineers, hobbyists, and makers who need fast, low-power data storage in their embedded systems. With 256Kbit (32KByte) of Ferroelectric RAM (FRAM) accessible via the I2C interface, this breakout module is ideal for data logging, buffering, configuration storage, and rapid prototyping projects.

Unlike traditional EEPROM, FRAM offers virtually unlimited write endurance, ultra-fast write speeds, and retains data without power — making it an excellent choice for projects that require frequent read/write cycles with dependable data retention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the MB85RC256V FRAM Breakout Module and what makes it different from EEPROM?

A: The MB85RC256V is a 256Kbit (32KByte) non-volatile Ferroelectric RAM (FRAM) breakout module with an I2C interface. Unlike standard EEPROM, FRAM offers significantly faster write speeds, vastly higher write endurance (virtually unlimited cycles), and ultra-low power consumption, making it far superior for applications that involve frequent data writes such as data logging, buffering, and configuration storage.

Q: Which microcontrollers or development boards are compatible with this FRAM module?

A: This module communicates over the standard I2C bus, making it compatible with a wide range of development platforms including Arduino (Uno, Mega, Nano), Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, ESP32, STM32, and most other microcontrollers that support I2C communication. Libraries and example code are widely available in the maker community for quick integration.

Q: How many units should I order and what quantity options are available?

A: This listing offers five quantity options to suit your needs: 1pc, 5pcs, 10pcs, 20pcs, and 30pcs. Whether you need a single module for a one-off project or a bulk pack for production prototyping, simply select your preferred quantity at checkout.
