Computer Studies Computer Memory

What is SRAM and where is it mainly used?

A Slow RAM used as main system memory

B Dynamic RAM that requires constant refreshing

C Static RAM that uses flip-flop circuits and is mainly used in cache memory

D RAM that can only be read not written to

Explanation

SRAM (Static RAM) stores data using flip-flop circuits so it does not need constant refreshing. It is faster and more expensive than DRAM and is mainly used in cache memory.

Reference: Computer Studies Textbook , Page 2

Hint

Static means it holds data without refreshing — making it faster but costlier.
