Memory is simply a device that can be used to store the
information (data). The semiconductor memories are
extensively used because of their small size, low cost, high
speed, high reliability and ease of expansion of the memory
size, it consists mainly a flip flops one flip flop can hold one bit
of data and some additional circuitry such as buffers

Semiconductor Memory II
In the design of all computers, semiconductor memories
are used as primary storage for data and code.
They are connected directly to the CPU and they are the
memory that the CPU asks for information (code or data).
Among the most widely used are RAM and ROM.
Memory Capacity
The number of bits that a semiconductor memory chip
can store is called its chip Capacity (bits or bytes)
Memory Organization

Semiconductor Memory III
Each memory chip contains 2N locations where N is the
number of address pins on the chip.
Each location contains M bits, where M is the number of
data pins on the chip.
The entire chip will contain 2N x M bits.
Example: Memory organization of 4K x 4, 212 = 4096
locations, each location holding 4 Bits (so N=12 and
M=4)
Memory Speed (access time)

ROM II
1 ROM (Read Only Memory)
ROM is the type of memory that does not lose its contents
when power is turned off. It is also called nonvolatile
memory.
2 PROM (Programmable Memory)
User programmable (one-time programmable) memory.
If the information burned into PROM is wrong, it needs to
be discarded since internal fuses are blown permanently.
Special equipment needed: ROM burner or ROM
programmer.
3 EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM) 2,000 times
Allows making changes in the contents of PROM after it is
burned.
One can program the memory chip and erase it thousands
of times.
Erasing its contents can take up to 20 minutes; the entire
chip is erased.

ROM III
All EPROM chips have a window that is used to shine
ultraviolet (UV) radiation to erase its contents.
Also referred to as UV-EPROM.
4 EEPROM (Electrically Erasable ROM) 500,000 times
Method of erasure is electrical.
Moreover, one can select which byte to be erased.
Cost per bit is much higher than for UV-EPROM.
5 Flash Memory EPROM
First, the process of erasure of the entire contents takes
less than a second, or one might say in a flash, hence its
name: flash memory.
When flash memory’s contents are erased, the entire
device is erased.
Even though flash memories are writeable, like EPROM’s
they find their widest use in microcomputer systems for
storage of firmware.

Random Access Memory II
1 SRAM (Static RAM)
Storage cells are made of flip-flops and therefore they do
not require refreshing to keep their data.
A cell handling one bit requires 6 or 4 transistors each,
which is too many.
SRAMS are widely used for cache memory and
battery-backed memory systems.
2 DRAM (Dynamic RAM)
Uses MOS capacitors to store a bit
Requires constant refreshing due to leakage (every 2ms –
4ms).

Basic Concept of Memory Interfacing
The memory interfacing requires:
Select the chip (Enable CS).
Identify the register.
Enable the appropriate buffer ( Read or Write)
Microcontroller based system include memory devices and the
input – output devices. It is important to note that
microcontroller can communicate (Read or Write) with only
one device at a time, since the address, data and control lines
are common for all the devices.
In order to communicate with memory or IO device, it is
necessary to decode the address from the microcontroller.
