2 Why FRAM? – An Application Example

In the following example, the benefits of a FRAM-based microcontroller are illustrated using a data logger as application example. A data logger is typically a sensor node that collects various physical or environmental conditions like temperature, humidity, vibration, pressure, motion, or pollutants (see Figure 2-1).
