SRAM
makerA type of volatile memory that uses flip-flop circuits to store each bit.
expanded
SRAM, or Static Random-Access Memory, is a form of semiconductor memory that maintains data bits in its memory as long as power is supplied, using bistable latching circuitry. Unlike Dynamic RAM (DRAM), SRAM does not require periodic refreshing, making it faster but more expensive and with less capacity. It is often used where speed is critical, such as in CPU caches and real-time systems.
examples
Intel Core i9-12900K CPU uses a 30 MB L3 cache, which is implemented with SRAM.
In high-performance computing where fast access to memory is crucial, such as gaming or scientific computing.
The Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA includes 1.8 Mb of block SRAM.
In FPGA applications for digital signal processing where quick data retrieval is necessary for real-time processing tasks.
