Static Random-Access Memory, commonly known as SRAM, is a type of computer memory that uses latching circuitry to store each bit. Its primary feature is its ability to retain data bits in memory as long as power is being supplied. Unlike Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DRAM), which needs periodic refreshing, SRAM does not require refreshing, making it faster and more reliable for certain applications.
SRAM is designed to perform read and write operations at a faster rate, often used in applications where speed is critical. It is typically employed in cache memory and other high-speed storage solutions. The architecture of SRAM includes a series of transistors arranged in a way that data is maintained in a stable state, allowing swift access and modification.
This type of memory is commonly found in applications where performance and reliability are more important than capacity. SRAM's swift access time and its ability to be used at high speeds make it ideal for use in processors, networking applications, and in various embedded systems requiring rapid data access and processing capabilities.
