nRF5340 Low Leakage RAM description

Nord4g

Team Nordic,

Question for you. In nRF5340 datasheet, page 1, Flash and RAM description :https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nRF5340_PS_v1.3.pdf

I found description "512kB low leakage RAM". What does it mean here by low leakage RAM?

Does it simply mean, less current leak while in use of RAM or is there some another meaning?

Please help to clarify.

Thank you for checking the term together and considerations to help.

Sincerely,

Ben.

    HI Ben,

    Your understanding is correct. 

    The term "low leakage RAM" on nRF5340 PS refers to a type of RAM that is designed to consume less power, particularly when in a standby or idle state. This is achieved by reducing the amount of current that "leaks" out of the transistors in the RAM when they are not actively being used. This makes low leakage RAM particularly suitable for use in low-power devices or systems that need to conserve energy, such as battery-powered devices.
    Best regards,
    Charlie
