Question

What is the full form of SRAM?

(a) Synchronized Random Access Memory

(b) Static Random Access Memory

(c) Simplified Random Access Memory

(d) Segregated Static Random Access Memory

I got this question in examination.

The above asked question is from Board Hardware Specifications topic in section Board Specifications and Types of Arduino

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) Static Random Access Memory

Explanation: SRAM is a type of volatile memory (volatile as in, it retains the data as long as power is being supplied to it), which is used for faster access of data. It uses bistable latching circuitry to store data bit by bit. Here, a latch is also called a flip flop which basically has two states depending upon the input signal and it is in this way it stores each bit of data.
