The FM1106 chip is a static random access memory (SRAM) chip manufactured by Fairchild. It is a 6K static bit of RAM, meaning it consists of 6,144 bits or 768 bytes stored in a series of memory cells. Each memory cell in the chip has a small circuit containing six transistors and resistors that are used to store a single bit of information. The cell stays in its original state until it receives a signal from an external source, such as a computer or microchip, which changes the stored bit. The FM1106 was designed to support high-speed applications, such as embedded systems and video controllers, and is capable of operating in temperatures ranging from -30 to 85 degrees Celsius. It also features low power consumption, making it ideal for battery-powered applications.
