Understanding Semiconductor Memory Chips

Understanding Semiconductor Memory Chips

Memory is divided into two main categories: volatile memory (RAM) and non-volatile memory (external storage). The former loses data immediately when power is cut, while the latter is unaffected by power outages and retains data persistently. Classification of semiconductor memory and global market share – 1 – SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) and DRAM (Dynamic … Read more

Finally, Someone Clearly Explains What DRAM and NAND Flash Are!

All users are familiar with the term “memory” because all electronic products require memory, and usually more than one type of memory is used. However, many people easily confuse the types, specifications, and forms of memory. For example, NAND Flash, DRAM often mentioned in industry news, as well as SRAM, SDRAM, DDR3, DDR4, NOR Flash… … Read more
