Semiconductor memory
Microelectronic semiconductor memory chipsUsed for primary storageAdvantage: Small size Fast Shock and temperature resistance
Disadvantage: Volatility: must have uninterrupted electric
power or lose memory

Two types of semiconductor memory
RAM: random access memory Most widely used primary storage medium Volatile memory Read/write memory
ROM: read only memory Permanent storage Can be read but cannot be overwritten Frequently used programs burnt into chips
during manufacturing Called firmware

Bit and Byte
Bit (short for binary digit) Smallest element of data Either zero or one
Byte Group of eight bits which operate as a
single unit Represents one character or number
