FLram

FLram is a term that refers to a type of random-access memory (RAM) used in certain electronic devices. The "FL" prefix is generally understood to stand for "Flash," indicating a connection to flash memory technology. While traditional RAM, like DRAM, is volatile and loses its data when power is removed, flash memory is non-volatile, meaning it retains its data without power.

FLram aims to bridge the gap between the speed of DRAM and the non-volatility of flash storage. It is designed to offer performance closer to that of standard RAM while still providing data persistence. This characteristic makes it suitable for applications where data needs to be retained even if the device is powered off, such as in embedded systems, solid-state drives (SSDs), or certain types of mobile devices.

The specific implementation and advantages of FLram can vary depending on the manufacturer and the intended application. It is often used in conjunction with other memory technologies to create hybrid storage solutions. By combining the speed of RAM-like access with the durability of non-volatile memory, FLram contributes to the overall efficiency and functionality of devices that utilize it. Its development is part of an ongoing effort to create faster, more reliable, and more persistent storage solutions.
