| Prerequisite | Type | Confidence | Evidence level | Note | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Integrated Circuits (Microchips) (integrated_circuits) | required | 84% | expert_inference | The scoped SRAM memory node is an integrated-circuit memory product, so integrated circuits are a hard component dependency. |
|
| CMOS Logic (cmos_logic) | enabling | 62% | expert_inference | CMOS logic enabled later low-power SRAM/cache implementations, while early SRAM integrated circuits also existed in bipolar and MOS families. |
