As the term suggests FRAM uses a ferroelectric layer as against the standard dielectric layer as a result of which the benefits mentioned above ca be realized . The biggest advantage of FRAM however is the low power requirement for the storage device the makes it popular amongst many device manufacturers . Also , FRAM has the benefit of faster memory recall which is in line with the advantages associated with flash memory , but with higher memory retention . Security applications are expected to be a key driver for the FRAM market because of the higher memory and faster recall properties associated with the storage technology .
In terms of technological development , vendors operating in the market have already invested heavily in R & D of storage technology especially in ferroelectric RAM technology . The technology is expected to be used widely in data centers as well as for wireless sensor operations where data recall will be done wirelessly and hence , speed would have to be of the essence .
