SRAM Modules Information on GlobalSpec

SRAM modules are collections of static random access memory (SRAM) chips assembled on circuit boards. Typically, SRAM modules are used in speed-critical applications such as cache memory. SRAM chips are a type of random access memory (RAM) constructed of dual-transistor memory cells. An SRAM module is made of SRAM chips that require a consistent power supply for the chip to retain data. By contrast, Flash memory chips retain data regardless of whether or not the power supply is connected. SRAM modules are also different from dynamic random access memory (DRAM) modules in that SRAM chips use multiple transistors that do not require constant refreshing to retain their charge.

SRAM modules hold a smaller amount of data than DRAM modules; therefore, SRAM is used in small CPU memory applications. Because SRAM modules are fast and reliable, and do not require refreshing to retain data, they are used frequently in a system cache or as video memory, or other small memory systems such as a frame buffer for a display adapter. SRAM modules are sold in a wide variety of configurations, and vary according to speed, pin configuration, and power consumption characteristics.

SRAM modules can be used to upgrade the system cache in an older computer to store larger amounts of data, or to allow the microprocessor to access other memory sources than the hard disk, making high speed access possible. There are different types of SRAM modules, including asynchronous static RAM, synchronous burst static RAM, and pipeline-burst static RAM (PBSRAM). Asynchronous RAM was the first type of RAM, and is usually used to offer an inexpensive memory or speed upgrade to older machines. Synchronous burst static RAM is expensive but very fast. Pipeline-burst static RAM is the most commonly used static RAM today. After the first round of access, it is designed to allow subsequent access cycles to require fewer machine cycles, allowing for a greater throughput of data.

DRAM Memory Chips

Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips are single-transistor memory cells that use small capacitors to store each bit of memory in an addressable format that consists of rows and columns. Because capacitors are unable to hold a charge indefinitely, DRAM memory chips require a near-constant pulse of current to retain stored information.

EEPROM

Electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) chips are similar to PROM devices, but require only electricity to be erased.

EPROM

Erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) chips are programmable, reusable computer chips that can be erased using ultraviolet light and reprogrammed with a PROM programmer or PROM burner.

FIFO Memory

First-in, first-out (FIFO) memory chips are used in buffering applications between devices that operate at different speeds, or in applications where data must be stored temporarily for further processing.

FLASH Memory Chips

FLASH memory chips offer extremely fast access times, low power consumption, and relative immunity to severe shock or vibration. They do not need a constant power supply to retain their data.

Memory Chips

Memory chips are internal storage areas in computers. Although the term “memory chip” commonly refers to a computer's random access memory (RAM), this product area includes many different types of electronic data storage. Computer memory stores data electronically in cells. Without memory chips, a computer could not read programs or retain data.

SRAM Memory Chips

SRAM chips use static random access memory (SRAM), a type of memory that is faster, more reliable, and more expensive than DRAM. Unlike DRAM, SRAM does not need to be refreshed in order to prevent data loss; however, SRAM requires more power than DRAM.
