Used mostly for Cache Memory, Static RAM holds information in memory as long as the power is on. It doesn't have to be constantly refreshed, like standard Dynamic RAM (DRAM). Static RAM is faster than DRAM but it's more expensive and takes up more space.
A memory device in which each cell is formed from four or six transistors configured as a latch or a flip-flop. The term static is used because, once a value has been loaded into an SRAM cell, it will remain unchanged until it is explicitly altered or until power is removed from the device.
A RAM technology whose chips do not require a refresh cycle.(Contrast with DRAM.)
Random access memory which requires continuous power but does not need to be refreshed as with dynamic RAM.
memory written to and read from - does not include provision for memory refresh - maintains memory through active circuits - loses data when power is off
This is very fast RAM usually used for cache.
Ram chips that retain information without the need for refreshing, as long as the computer's power is on. They are more expensive than traditional DRAM.
(SRAM) - A memory chip that requires power to retain content. SRAM is faster than DRAM but more expensive and bulky. A typical use for SRAM is cache memory.
RAM module that holds data with the need for refreshing as long as the PC is powered up.
Semiconductor RAM that stores information in flip-flop cells that do not have to be periodically refreshed.
