The most common type of computer memory and generally available today in the form of synchronous dynamic RAM chips (see SDRAM). Most all volatile memory is dynamic RAM because it uses only one ...

A fast memory technology that requires power to hold its content. Static RAM (SRAM, S-RAM) is used for high-speed registers, caches and relatively small memory banks such as a frame buffer on a ...

RAM consists of a grid of memory cells, each capable of storing a small amount of data, typically one bit (binary digit) or a few bits. These cells are organized into rows and columns, forming a ...

Static RAM unlike dynamic RAM does not need to be periodically refreshed, but it is still considered volatile because its data is eventually lost if not powered. Although we don't hear much about SRAM ...
