27. What is memory management unit (MMU) ?

28. What is a Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) ?
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) is the microchip with programming that controls a computer’s interface to its attached serial devices. … Converts the bytes it receives from the computer along parallel circuits into a single serial bit stream for outbound transmission.
29. What is a heap memory ?
A memory heap is a location in memory where memory may be allocated at random access. Unlike the stack where memory is allocated and released in a very defined order, individual data elements allocated on the heap are typically released in ways which is asynchronous from one another.
30. What is a Stack ?
Stack is a storage structure that stores information in such a way that the last item stored is the first item retrieved. It is based on the principle of LIFO (Last-in-first-out). The stack in digital computers is a group of memory locations with a register that holds the address of top of element.
