| Tag |
The subset of the CPU address bits used to compare the tag bits of the cache directory to the main memory address being accessed. |
| Tag RAM |
Cache is physically divided into two sections. The Tag RAM section stores the Tag address of the location of the data in cache. This section is smaller than the Data RAM section, which stores the actual data or instruction. |
| TSOP |
(Thin Small Outline Package) A type of DRAM package that uses gullwing shaped leads on both sides. TSOP DRAM mounts directly on the surface of the printed circuit board. The advantage of the TSOP package is that it is one-third the thickness of an SOJ package. TSOP components are commonly used in small outline DIMM and credit card memory applications. |
| Type |
This number (x8, x9, x32, x36, x64, x72, x80) refers to the bit depth of a module, or to the size of the data path used to access the memory. |
