Internal Memory i.e semiconductor memory is one of the most important part of computer system. Its also an area which can significantly impact performance, layout of chip and architecture of a high perfomant system. Noting the key points on Internal Memory:
DRAM (Dynamic RAM) :
Used a main memory
SRAM(Static RAM):
Used as internal cache or on-chip memory
Types of ROM:
PROM
EPROM
EEPROM (the used in microcontrollers, embedded in devices)
Flash Memory
Advacanced DRAM:
Synchronous DRAM
Rambus DRAM
DDR DRAM
Cache DRAM
Error correction techniques and code:
Hamming code
SEC-DEC as used in DDR DRAM
The internal module orginazation and layout of memory banks changes based on type of internal memory used,
