Asynchronous Dynamic RAM
[ə-ˈsi-ŋ-krə-nəs dī-ˈna-mik ˈram]
noun
RAM Dinâmica Assíncrona
1. A type of computer memory that does not require a clock signal to synchronize data transfer, allowing the CPU and memory to operate at different speeds
Asynchronous Dynamic RAM was commonly used in older computer systems before synchronous memory became standard.
A RAM Dinâmica Assíncrona era comumente usada em sistemas de computador mais antigos antes que a memória síncrona se tornasse padrão.
2. Legacy DRAM technology that uses handshaking protocols to coordinate data read/write operations without a synchronized clock
The disadvantage of Asynchronous Dynamic RAM is that it operates at slower speeds compared to modern SDRAM.
A desvantagem da RAM Dinâmica Assíncrona é que opera em velocidades mais lentas comparadas à SDRAM moderna.
This is a highly specialized technical term used primarily in computer engineering and IT historical documentation. It is rarely encountered in modern computing contexts as SDRAM and newer technologies have replaced asynchronous memory. The term is understood uniformly across English and Portuguese-speaking technical communities with no significant regional variations in meaning or usage.
