NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory) is a class of memory ICs that retains stored data when power is removed while still supporting random-access read and write operations. It combines the persistence of non-volatile storage with the direct accessibility of RAM, enabling reliable data retention without continuous power.
NVRAM devices are commonly implemented using different non-volatile memory technologies and are offered as integrated circuits intended for digital systems that require preserved information across power cycles.
- Non-volatile data retention: Maintains stored content without external power.
- Random-access operation: Allows direct addressing for read and write access.
- Memory IC category: Positioned within the broader family of semiconductor memory devices.
