It takes the form of a component or system, such as a memory subassembly or a mass storage device.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor several decades, there has been a strong trend towards integrating memory directly into the processor under the term embedded memory, of which cache memory is a typical example. Understanding its internal mechanisms and interfacing is essential for mastering the operation of a computer and programming it efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eComputer Memories 2\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the static storage cell and its associated component, known as static random-access memory. The first part presents the main temporal characteristics of a generic random-access memory, as well as its electrical and mechanical properties, including aspects related to encapsulation. The second part focuses on the study of the first category of random-access semiconductor memory: asynchronous static memory, commonly referred to by the acronym SRAM (static random-access memory). The book details its temporal, electrical and mechanical characteristics, providing an in-depth understanding of its operation and technical specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuotation ix\u003cbr\u003ePreface xi\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 1.
