MCQ
Q.
Which of the following memory devices is very much similar, mainly in terms of speed, to the cache memory?
Correct Answer: C
The correct answer is SRAM.
Key Points
- SRAM memory devices are very much similar, mainly in terms of speed, to the cache memory.
- SRAM stands for Static random-access memory.
- Static random-access memory is a type of random-access memory that uses latching circuitry to store each bit.
- SRAM is volatile memory; data is lost when power is removed.
- The term static differentiates SRAM from DRAM which must be periodically refreshed.
Additional Information
- Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is a type of semiconductor memory that is typically used for the data or program code needed by a computer processor to function.
- Flash memory, also known as flash storage, is a type of nonvolatile memory that erases data in units called blocks and rewrites data at the byte level.
- EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) is user-modifiable read-only memory (ROM) that can be erased and reprogrammed (written to) repeatedly through the application of higher than normal electrical voltage.
