What is Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)?
Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) is a type of semiconductor memory, unlike dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), it does not need to be periodically refreshed because SRAM uses bistable latching circuitry to store each bit. Although SRAM exhibits data remanence; it is still volatile in the sense that data is eventually lost when the memory is not powered. Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) should not be confused with SRAM as they are two very different types of random access memory (RAM).
