NOR flash

NOR flash memory is a type of non-volatile storage that retains data even when the power is off. It is known for its fast read speeds and ability to execute code directly from the memory, making it suitable for devices like embedded systems and firmware storage. NOR flash stores data in memory cells arranged in a grid, allowing for precise access to individual bytes. While it generally has a higher cost and lower density compared to other types like NAND flash, its reliability and fast read capabilities make it ideal for applications requiring quick, direct access to stored data.
