SRAM

SRAM is Static RAM.

SRAM is used in small amounts in computers where very fast RAM is required, such as in the L2 cache of many CPU's.

SRAM is often contrasted with DRAM (Dynamic RAM). Dynamic is much less expensive than SRAM, but is usually slower and must constantly be refreshed in order to preserve its contents.

Types of SRAM include:

• Asynchronous Static RAM
• Synchronous Burst Static RAM
• Pipeline Burst Static RAM
