Re: state of PIC SRAM on boot

Greetings,

What is the state of the PIC SRAM on power up? Random value, determined value, last set value? Long ago I thought I'd read that unlike DRAM, SRAM maintains its values on power down, but I cannot find a reference to that at the moment.

This is totally wrong.

These is _no_ RAM of any kind that will maintain its values on power down.

ROM yes, RAM no.

So, you did not read this anywhere.

Some RAM chips may power up in the same state as the last time it was powered up, but it is not guaranteed.
