Abbreviation of
Non-Volatile Random Access Memory, a type of
memory that retains its contents when power is turned off. One type of NVRAM is
SRAM that is made
non-volatile by connecting it to a constant power source such as a battery. Another type of NVRAM uses
EEPROM chips to save its contents when power is turned off. In this case, NVRAM is composed of a combination of SRAM and EEPROM chips.
