The principal criteria involved in designing a memory are:
- Cost.
- Capacity.
- Speed.
- Power consumption.
- Reliability.
- Volatility and access capability.
10-2 STATIC RAM DEVICES
For static memory devices, a cell is commonly implemented using six MOS
transistors, as shown in Fig.10-4.
The number of memory cells and their arrangement in a static memory device
varies considerably.Common sizes range from 256 x 4 to 16K x 1.
