The full form of SRAM in computer memory architecture is ______________.
Static Random Access Memory
System Random Access Memory
Standard Random Access Memory
Sequential Random Access Memory
Static Random Access Memory
SRAM stands for Static Random Access Memory. It is a type of volatile semiconductor memory that uses bistable latching circuitry (flip-flops) to store each bit of data.

SRAM works on the principle of a flip-flop, typically composed of 6 transistors (6T cell) per bit. Because it uses a bistable circuit, the data remains stable as long as power is supplied, requiring no periodic refreshing unlike DRAM.
SRAM does not require periodic refreshing.
It is faster but more expensive than DRAM.
Commonly used for CPU cache memory.
A typical SRAM cell uses 6 CMOS transistors.
High speed (low access time)
No refresh cycle required
High reliability
High cost per bit
Lower storage density
Requires more physical space on the chip
CPU Cache (L1, L2, L3)
Networking equipment buffers
Embedded system memory
| Feature | SRAM | DRAM |
|---|---|---|
Refresh Requirement | Not required | Required periodically |
Transistor Count | 6 transistors per cell | 1 transistor + 1 capacitor per cell |
The term 'Static' implies that the data stays stored as long as power is applied to the memory.
Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the standard nomenclature used in computer architecture.
A is correct тАФ SRAM stands for Static Random Access Memory.
Always remember that SRAM is used for 'speed' (Cache) while DRAM is used for 'capacity' (System RAM) in computer systems.
