Memory
The nRF52832 contains flash and RAM that can be used for code and data storage.
The amount of RAM and flash will vary depending on variant, see Table 9: Memory variants on page 23.

The CPU and the EasyDMA can access memory via the AHB multilayer interconnect. The CPU is also able
to access peripherals via the AHB multilayer interconnect, as illustrated in Figure 4: Memory layout on page
23.

See AHB multilayer on page 26 and EasyDMA on page 27 for more information about the AHB
multilayer interconnect and the EasyDMA.
The same physical RAM is mapped to both the Data RAM region and the Code RAM region. It is up to the
application to partition the RAM within these regions so that one does not corrupt the other.
8.1 RAM - Random access memory
The RAM interface is divided into multiple RAM AHB slaves.
Each RAM AHB slave is connected to two 4-kilobyte RAM sections, see Section 0 and Section 1 in Figure 4:
Memory layout on page 23.
Each of the RAM sections have separate power control for System ON and System OFF mode operation,
which is configured via RAM register (see the POWER — Power supply on page 78).
