magnetic random access memory (MRAM)
Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM) is a type of non-volatile memory that uses magnetic states to store data. Unlike traditional memory types, such as Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) or Flash memory, MRAM retains information even when the power is turned off. This makes it useful for applications requiring fast access and data retention.
MRAM operates by manipulating the magnetic orientation of tiny structures called magnetic tunnel junctions. These junctions can represent binary data (0s and 1s) based on their magnetic alignment. As a result, MRAM offers advantages like faster speeds, lower power consumption, and greater endurance compared to other memory technologies.
