Study Notes

Memory Types

Volatile Memory: Loses its stored data when the power is turned off.
Non-Volatile Memory: Retains its stored data even when the power is turned off.

Primary Memory

Example: Random Access Memory (RAM) is a primary memory that temporarily stores data and applications while a computer is running.

NVRAM

Non-Volatile Random Access Memory: A type of memory that combines the benefits of RAM and ROM, allowing data to be written and erased repeatedly while retaining its data even when power is turned off.

Static RAM (SRAM)

Definition: A type of RAM that stores data in a static form, using a flip-flop circuit to store each bit, making it faster and more reliable than other types of RAM.

Secondary Memory

Purpose: Provides long-term storage for data and programs, even when the power is turned off, serving as a backup to primary memory and allowing data to be retrieved when needed.
