What is meant by volatile and non-volatile memory?
non volatile memory is memory that doesn't wipe after the computer shuts down e.g: Flash memory.
Is ROM a non-voltile?
ROM is an acronym for Read Only Memory. Read Only Memory is typically created by a technique either etches the data into a chip, or via a chip "programmer" which typically blows a set of tiny fuses inside the chip to encode the data (EPROM, or Electronically Programmable Read Only Memory). Read Only Memory is considered non-volatile since the data stored on this chip does not require power to retain the data. This is in contrast to many RAM technologies (Random Access Memory) which often, though not always, require power to "refresh" the data stored in the memory to prevent it's loss.
Is volatile memory permanent?
A flash memory chip is a close relative to EEPROM, it differs in that it can erase one block or page at a time. Therefore flash memory is a non volatile memory.
Is ROM non volatile?
Read Only Memory (ROM) is non-volatile. Basically, the computer manufacturer write coding onto the ROM chip that will start up the computer, but which the user is not expected to interfere with.The volatile memory is the Random-access memory (RAM), which is wiped clean on shut down unless the data is first saved to the hard drive, etc.
Explain volatile and non volatile memory?
Volatile is RAM and non-volatile is like a hard drive. More specifically, "Volatile" storage will erase its contents when power is removed, while "Non-volatile" storage will have permanently stored the data (until specifically told to erase it), even after power is removed.
Does CMOS configuration chip contains a very small amount of memory?
yes, NVROM, Non Volatile memory
When you say the information on the ram chip is volatile what does this mean?
it means that the memory cannot be earased
Type of hardware memory?
There is:- Random Access Memory (RAM), Read-Only Memory (ROM), Flash Memory (CMOS Chip), non-volatile memory (Hard Drive).
What is the difference between volatile memory and non volatile memory?
volatile memory: The data is lost on reboot. This is the ram memory. Random-access-memory.non-volatile memory: The data is saved to a hard drive or flash drive, or it could be a hard coded chip. This is ROM memory. Read-only-memory.Volatile memory: you will lost all of your data when your electricity go out. Ram is volatile memory. When you shutdown your computer. Info that haven't saved is destroyed.Nonvolatile memory: All data that stored in this type of memory wil retain when you shutdown your computer. Rom is of type nonvolatile memory.Non-volatile holds its data even when the power is turned off.Volatile memory: you will lost all of your data when your electricity go out. Ram is volatile memory. When you shutdown your computer. Info that haven't saved is destroyed.Nonvolatile memory: All data that stored in this type of memory wil retain when you shutdown your computer. Rom is of type nonvolatile memory.
Is ram a type of permanent memory?
Technically speaking the term R.A.M (Random Access Memory as opposed to serially accessed) describes the method used to organise store and retrieve the information in a memory chip rather than its ability to retain information. If you mean the DRAM used in PC's then it is described as 'volatile memory'. i.e the data is lost when the power is removed to the chip. Any data memory medium which stores data after power is removed is termed non-volatile memory like flash memory. Note: There is currently no technology that can store data forever. Even Flash memory has a data retention period estimated to be around 10 years without error.
State the difference between a RAM and ROM memory cell?
RAM1.It is Random access memory2.It is a volatile memory.3.It help the computer to boost the speed.4.Range of RAM lies between 64 MB to 4 GB.5. IT is an integrated chip located in the motherboard.6.It is very costly in price and its shape is long rectangular chip.7.It store data temporary.ROM1. It is called Read only memory.2.It is a non volatile memory chip.3.It store data permanently.4.They are also called Permanent storage memory.5.ROM is not used to boost the speed of computer.6.Data stored in ROM cannot be deleted.Volatile means it will delete all the data stored in it if the power of computer goes off and vice-versa.
Memory is a type of chip that requires no power to hold data?
RAM
