SRAM
What is SRAM?
SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) is a type of volatile memory that retains data as long as power is supplied, without needing to be refreshed. Unlike DRAM, SRAM uses flip-flop circuits to store each bit, making it faster but more expensive and power-hungry. It's commonly used for CPU cache memory, buffer storage, and in microcontrollers where high-speed data access is critical.
