NVRAM NVRAM, short for Non-Volatile Random Access Memory, is a type of computer memory that retains stored data even when the power is turned off. Unlike traditional volatile memory such as RAM (Random Access Memory), which loses its contents when the power is interrupted, NVRAM utilizes non-volatile memory technologies to preserve data permanently or semi-permanently.
NVRAM is commonly used in computing systems to store critical system settings, configuration parameters, and firmware updates that need to be retained across power cycles. One common type of NVRAM is flash memory, which retains data using floating-gate transistors or similar mechanisms. NVRAM plays a crucial role in maintaining system integrity, reliability, and data persistence in various computing and embedded systems. |
