Reason:
Trying to replace your computer's main memory (Containing DRAM chips)
with SRAM would be expensive, use a lot of power, and would not do much
good because the main bottleneck limiting the speed of that memory
is not in the memory chips themselves, but in the relatively low-density, slow
interconnections between the DRAM chips and the processor.
Basic Difference between RAM and ROM
∙ RAM and ROM have basic properties as data storage memory device.
∙ Data is lost from RAM when the power is turned off. The data in ROM are retained even after
the power is switched off.
∙ Data access in RAM is faster than that of ROM. RAM allows the device to READ and
WRITE the data randomly.
∙ Normal operation output data can be stored in RAM. The ROM stores the instruction for the
operation of the Device such as booting instructions.
Content Addressable
Memory (CAM)
∙ Random Access Memory (RAM) performs lookups using a memory address and which then
returns the data from the address. CAM lookups do the opposite. A function calls the CAM by
passing a key that consists of data word structure and the CAM lookup returns memory
addresses. CAM further differentiates itself from different types of memory in that it can do
memory lookups in one clock cycle. This is the most common way to accommodate hardware
search ASICs.
Types of CAM
