Memory

Home * Hardware * Memory



Memory is the ability to store, retain, and recall information and experiences as researched in cognitive science. Computer memory refers to physical devices used to store data and sequences of instructions (programs) on a temporary or permanent basis, typically distinguished as fast random-access memory and relatively slow data storage. =Flip-Flop= A flip-flop or latch is a one bit memory. For instance a simple relay (K1) with its contact parallel to the On-push-button S2, "remembers" whether last action was pushing S1 (reset) or S2 (set). A RS flip-flop is a pair of cross-coupled NAND or NOR-gates, where the outputs are feed back to the inputs. A D ﬂip-ﬂop, the most common flip-flop, stores the input D with the rising edge (0-1 transition) of a clock. =N-Bit Latches= N-Bit latches are arrays of one-bit latches or flip-flops typically as wide as a connected parallel data-bus. They may be used as a registers or scratchpad RAM inside a central processing unit. =RAM= Random access memory is a fast form of computer memory and refers to the idea that any piece of data can be stored and retrieved in a constant time, regardless of its physical location and whether or not it is related to the previous piece of data.

Static RAM
Static RAM (SRAM) is an array of latches, where each latch has a unique address, which connects the addressed latch to its data-bus, often used as CPU cache.
 * Static random access memory from Wikipedia

Dynamic RAM
Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is a type of random access memory that stores each bit of data in a separate capacitor within an electronic circuit. Since capacitors leak charge, the information eventually fades unless the capacitor charge is refreshed periodically, which is the reason to call that memory dynamic. Since DRAM takes only one transistor and capacitor per bit, it is therefor used as cheap main memory part of recent computer data storage, despite its worse latency compared to SRAM.

DRAM write at a 4 by 4 array =ROM= Read-only memory (ROM) is a class of storage programmed once and mainly used to distribute firmware. EPROMs have a small quartz window which admits UV light for erasure. ROM or EPROM were often embedded inside a microcontroller in conjunction with some RAM. They were often used in dedicated chess computers.

National Semiconductor EPROMs 2764 and 2716

Since each data-bit stored in a ROM is a boolean function of its inputs or address, a ROM is also used to implement combinatorial logic.

=Auxiliary Storage= Beside the computer's random access main memory, auxiliary storage refer to mass storage like optical discs, and magnetic storage hard disk drives. Those devices are usually connected via a serial bus, and accessed via streams.
