8.8 RAM Memory

The RAM memory is made up of n sectors. Each sector can be completely powered down to save leakage, however all data is lost. Features of the RAM memory include:

  • RAM memory has n sectors. The size of a sector can be found in Memory Organization.
  • Each sector 0 to n can be complete disabled; however, data retention is lost.
  • Each sector 0 to n automatically enters low-power retention mode when possible.
  • For devices that contain USB memory, the USB memory can be used as normal RAM if USB is not required.
