Static RAM

(see NOT gate, Transistors)
-
Read by setting
word line = 1
, which closes connections at the transistors and sensing bit line,b
, voltage -
Write by setting
word ine = 1
and driving (???)b

-
The data is retained as long as power is supplied (static)
-
Compared to DRAM, it's faster but more expensive (6 transistors, 2 x 2 NOT gates + 2 transistors)
-
Used for cache memory
