Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFDynamic RAM (DRAM) is a type of volatile memory that stores data using a capacitor, while Static RAM (SRAM) is a type of volatile memory that stores data using a flip-flop circuit.
Key PointsDynamic RAMs (DRAM) have advantages over Static RAMs (SRAM) in terms of cost, power consumption, and storage capacity.
- DRAM is less expensive to manufacture than SRAM, as it requires fewer components.
- DRAM also consumes less power than SRAM, as it only needs power to refresh the memory cells periodically.
- Additionally, DRAM has a higher storage capacity than SRAM, as it can store more bits of data per chip.
- However, SRAM is faster than DRAM when it comes to data access, as it does not require periodic refreshing like DRAM does.
Advantage | Dynamic RAM (DRAM) | Static RAM (SRAM) |
---|---|---|
Cost | Less expensive | More expensive |
Power consumption | Consumes less power | Consumes more power |
Storage capacity | Higher storage capacity | Lower storage capacity |
Speed | Slower access times | Faster access times |
