DS3800HRMD is an 8K Dual Ported Byte RAM manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark IV Series used in GE Speedtronic Gas Turbine Control Systems. An 8K Dual Ported Byte RAM refers to a type of computer memory that can store 8,192 bytes of data and has two separate ports for accessing or reading/writing data. Here's a breakdown of what these terms mean:
8K:This indicates the memory's capacity. 8K stands for 8 kilobytes, where 1 kilobyte equals 1,024 bytes. So, this RAM can store 8,192 bytes of data.
Dual Ported:A dual-ported RAM means that it has two independent sets of data input and output ports. This allows two separate devices or processes to simultaneously read from and write to the memory without interfering with each other. It's often used in applications where multiple components need fast access to the same memory.
Byte RAM:This simply means that data is stored in units of bytes. Each byte consists of 8 bits and can represent a single character or piece of information in a computer.
