A simple memory system for microprocessors

Abstract

Abstract An examination of the available types of random access memory (RAM) shows that the static memory has advantages over the dynamic memory. Although the dynamic memory consumes power similar to that of the static memory it must have its stored memory periodically recharged or refreshed to prevent its loss. This makes the dynamic memory complicated to set up and use. For memories with a word capacity of less than 32 kbyte it becomes economical in power consumption to use the static memory which is not only faster but also simpler and easier to use. An application illustrates this point.
