Volatile memory

Volatile memory, in contrast to non-volatile memory, is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information; it retains its contents while powered on but when the power is interrupted, the stored data is quickly lost.

Volatile memory has several uses including as primary storage. In addition to usually being faster than forms of mass storage such as a hard disk drive, volatility can protect sensitive information, as it becomes unavailable on power-down. Most general-purpose random-access memory (RAM) is volatile.

Examples of use of volatile memory
1. By Zuri Dar The as yet unfulfilled promise of the Israeli microchip industry, Saifun Semiconductors, is setting up a subsidiary – Tulip Semiconductors – that will focus on selling development services to the non–volatile memory (NVM) market.
2. Sources at Saifun, which for the past year and a half has been planning its initial public stock offering, said that the decision to create Tulip was made in light of the continued growth in the market for products that use volatile memory, and to meet the demand created by the expansion of the focused development of compatible components.
