This page covers the advantages and disadvantages of SRAM (Static Random Access Memory). It mentions SRAM advantages (benefits) and SRAM disadvantages (drawbacks).

What is SRAM? Introduction

  • SRAM uses an array of storage cells.
  • Information is stored in devices known as latches, usually SR latches.
  • It is used in computers, mobile phones, automotive electronics, electronic toys, etc.

Benefits or Advantages of SRAM

Following are the benefits or advantages of SRAM:

  • SRAM performance is better than DRAM in terms of speed. It is faster in operation. As a result, it takes less time for accessing data or information compared to DRAM.
  • It is used to create speed-sensitive cache.
  • It has medium power consumption.

Drawbacks or Disadvantages of SRAM

Following are the disadvantages of SRAM:

  • It is costlier compared to DRAM.
  • It is volatile, meaning data is lost when memory is not powered.
  • It is not possible to refresh programs.
  • It has low storage capacity.
  • SRAM has a more complex design.
