1. Introduction
Thank you for your interest in the CY15FRAMKIT-002 FRA-M Kit (DVK). The kit (shield) is designed as an easy-to-use
and
inexpensive development kit as well as evaluation platform for Cypress’s latest Quad SPI enabled Serial F-RAM. This
kit works in conjunction with the NUCLEO-L433RC-P MCU Evaluation Board, a starter kit for ARM® Cortex®-M4-based
ST Microelectronics devices. You will need both kits to demonstrate the operation described in this guide. This board
features a 4-Mbit Quad SPI F-RAM, associated circuit, Arduino as well as Morpho connectivity. This kit supports 3.3-V or
1.8V power supply.
