Memory
• Memory consists of electronic components that
store instructions waiting to be executed by the
processor, data needed by those instructions, and
the results of processing the data
• Stores three basic categories of items:

Data being
The operating
processed and the
system and other Applications
resulting
programs
information
Memory
• Each location in memory has an address
• Memory size commonly is measured in gigabytes
(GB) or terabytes (TB)
Memory
• The system unit contains two types of memory:

Volatile memory Nonvolatile memory

Loses its contents when Does not lose contents


power is turned off when power is removed

Examples include ROM,


Example includes RAM
flash memory, and CMOS
Memory
Memory
• Two common types of RAM chips exist:
Dynamic RAM
Static RAM (SRAM)
(DRAM)
Memory
• RAM chips usually reside on a memory module and
are inserted into memory slots
Memory
• Memory cache speeds the processes of the
computer because it stores frequently used
instructions and data
Memory

Read-only memory (ROM) refers to


memory chips storing permanent data and
instructions

• Firmware
Memory
• Flash memory can be erased electronically and
rewritten
• Some RAM chips, flash memory chips, and other
memory chips use CMOS (complementary metal-
oxide semiconductor) technology because it
provides high speeds and consumes little power
Memory
• Access time is the amount of time it takes the
processor to read from memory
• Measured in nanoseconds
Adapters
• An adapter card
enhances functions of a
component of a desktop
or server system unit
and/or provides
connections to
peripherals
• Sound card and graphics
card
• An expansion slot is a
socket on a desktop or
server motherboard that
can hold an adapter card
Adapters
• With Plug and Play, the computer automatically
can recognize peripheral devices as you install them
Adapters
• Adapters for mobile computers are in the form of a
removable flash memory device
• USB adapter
Buses
• A computer processes and stores
data as a series of electronic bits.
These bits transfer internally
within the circuitry of the
computer along electrical
channels.
• Each channel, called a bus allows
the various devices both inside
and attached to the system unit
to communicate with each other
• Data bus
• Address bus
• Word size is the number of bits
the processor can interpret and
execute at a given time
Buses
• Types of buses:
• A system bus, also called the front side bus (FSB), is part
of the motherboard and connects the processor to main
memory. size
• A backside bus (BSB) connects the processor to cache.
• An expansion bus allows the processor to communicate
with peripheral devices.
Power Supply and Battery
• The power supply or
laptop AC adapter converts
the wall outlet AC power
into DC power
Power Supply and Battery
• Mobile computers and devices can run using either
a power supply or batteries
• Batteries typically are rechargeable lithium-ion
batteries
