===== Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) =====
[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:start| Return to Glossary ]]

**Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)**, Static RAM, is [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:r:computermemory]] that retains data bits in its memory as long as power is being supplied. Unlike [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:d:dram]], which stores bits in cells consisting of a capacitor and a transistor, SRAM does not have to be periodically refreshed. Static RAM provides faster access to data and is more expensive than DRAM. SRAM is used for a computer's cache memory and as part of the random access memory digital-to-analog converter on a video card.
