    Computer Memory: Types

    Uploaded by

    Ram Krishna Adhikari
    This document provides an overview of different types of computer memory, including both volatile and non-volatile memory. Volatile memory includes RAM types like DRAM and SRAM. Non-volatile memory includes ROM, EEPROM, flash memory, and newer technologies like ReRAM, MRAM, and PCM. The document also discusses historical memory technologies and those still in development like CBRAM, racetrack memory, and FJG RAM. RAM is defined as random access memory that allows data to be read or written in the same amount of time regardless of the physical location.

    Example of writable volatilerandom-access memory: Synchronous Dynamic RAM modules, primarily used as
    main memory in personal computers, workstations, and servers.

    Random-access memory (RAM /ræm/) is a form of computer data storage that


    stores data and machine code currently being used. A random-access memory device
    allows data items to be read or written in almost the same amount of time irrespective of the physical
    location of data inside the memory. In contrast, with other direct-access data storage media such
    as hard disks, CD-RWs, DVD-RWs and the older magnetic tapes and drum memory, the time
    required to read and write data items varies significantly depending on their physical locations on the
    recording medium, due to mechanical limitations such as media rotation speeds and arm movement.
    RAM contains multiplexing and demultiplexing circuitry, to connect the data lines to the addressed
    storage for reading or writing the entry. Usually more than one bit of storage is accessed by the
    same address, and RAM devices often have multiple data lines and are said to be "8-bit" or "16-bit",
    etc. devices.
    In today's technology, random-access memory takes the form of integrated circuits. RAM is normally
    associated with volatile types of memory (such as DRAM modules), where stored information is lost
    if power is removed, although non-volatile RAM has also been developed.[1] Other types of non-
    volatile memories exist that allow random access for read operations, but either do not allow write
    operations or have other kinds of limitations on them. These include most types of ROM and a type
    of flash memory called NOR-Flash.
