Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Semiconductor memory is the main memory element of a microcomputer-based system and is used to store program and data. The main memory elements are nothing but semiconductor devices that stores code and information permanently.
The semiconductor memory is directly accessible by the microprocessor. And the access time of the data present in the primary memory must be compatible with the operating time of the microprocessor. Thus semiconductor devices are preferred as primary memory.
