Async RAM
[/ˈeɪsɪŋk/ /ræm/]
noun
RAM Assíncrona
1. A type of random access memory that operates without a clock signal, where data access timing is controlled by handshake signals between the CPU and memory rather than synchronized clock cycles
Async RAM was commonly used in older computer systems before synchronous memory became standard.
A RAM Assíncrona era comumente usada em sistemas de computador mais antigos antes que a memória síncrona se tornasse padrão.
2. Memory that responds to requests independently without waiting for a system clock, making each access self-timed
The processor had to wait for the Async RAM to signal that data was ready.
O processador tinha que esperar pela RAM Assíncrona sinalizando que os dados estavam prontos.
This term is primarily used in technical and historical contexts within the computing industry. It represents an older generation of memory technology that has been largely superseded by synchronous alternatives like SDRAM and DDR RAM. Understanding Async RAM is important for computer historians, legacy system administrators, and those studying the evolution of computer architecture. The term is equally recognized in both Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese technical communities.
