What is Memory Unit ?
 In Short , The
memory unit is a
component of a
computer system.
It is used to store
data, instructions
and information.
Primary and secondary memory

• Primary [temporary , main , ram


Rom , faster ,volatile semiconductor]
• Secondary [permanently, external,
Non-volatile, cd s, hard drive,
Slower ]
Ram and rom its types

Types of RAM :-
1. SRAM :-static ram, six transistor memory
cell , cache memory for processor
2. DRAM :-dynamic random access memory,
each bit in separate capacitor ,standard
memory for modern computer
Types of ROM:-
3. PROM:- programmable , used in video
game console, permanent cannot change
4. EPROM:-erasable programmable , don’t
loses data when turned off, erase by UV
rays
5. EEPROM:-electrically erasable, used in
USB and SD card
Cache Memory

1. Cache memory is the smallest and fastest memory in the computer.


2. It is located in between main memory and CPU.
3. Cache memory holds copy of the frequently used data temporarily.
4. It is comparatively expensive than the other memory.
Cache Memory
Registers
 Registers are a type of computer memory used
to quickly accept, store, and transfer data
and instructions that are being used
immediately by the CPU. The registers used
by the CPU are often termed as Processor
registers.
Memory Hierarchy

Memory hierarchy is about


arranging different kinds of
storage devices in a
computer based on their
size, cost and access speed,
and the roles they play in
application processing. The
main purpose is to achieve
efficient operations by
organizing the memory to
reduce access time while
speeding up operations
