SDRAM stands for Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory.
Let’s break it down:
Synchronous — works in sync with the system clock
Dynamic — needs constant power and refreshing
Random Access — any location can be accessed directly
Memory — stores data for the CPU
The key word is “Synchronous”, unlike older asynchronous DRAM, SDRAM syncs with the system clock so the CPU knows exactly when data is ready. Faster and more efficient.
The SDRAM family tree:
SDR SDRAM
DDR SDRAM
DDR2 SDRAM
DDR3 SDRAM
DDR4 SDRAM
DDR5 SDRAM
