Decentralized Periphery
Dual-Ported Random-Acces Memory
Dynamic Random-Access Memory
is a volatile memory known for its density and low cost
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory
is nonvolatile and electrically byte-erasable
Electro Magnetic Compatibility
Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory
is a mature, high-density, nonvolatile technology which
provides a degree of updatability not found in ROM
Field Effect Transistor
First In / First Out memory
Block Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory
which combines advantages from each of the above men-
tioned memory technologies. In embedded memory appli-
cations, Flash EPROM memory provides higher
performance for more flexibility then ROM and EPROM,
while providing higher density and better cost effective-
ness than battery-backed SRAM or EPROM.
