MRAM (Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory) is a non-volatile memory IC technology that stores data using magnetic states rather than charge-based storage. It is designed to retain information when power is removed while providing random-access read and write capability.
Within the Memory ICs category, MRAM devices are used as solid-state memory components that combine persistent data retention with fast, electrically controlled operation. MRAM is commonly positioned as an alternative to other memory types where non-volatility and endurance are important characteristics.
- Non-volatile memory: Data is preserved without continuous power.
- Random access: Supports direct access to stored data locations.
- Magnetic storage principle: Information is represented by magnetic orientation states.
