SRAM (Static Random Access Memory)

Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) is a type of computer memory used for fast data storage. Unlike other memories that need constant refreshing, SRAM retains information as long as power is supplied. It stores data in small, flip-flop circuits, which allow quick read and write operations. Due to its speed and reliability, SRAM is often used in cache memory inside processors, providing rapid access to frequently used data. However, it is more expensive and consumes more power than other memory types like DRAM, so it's typically used for short-term, high-speed storage rather than large capacities.
