30.       Explain SRAM and DRAM (single cell diagram, applications and differences)?

1 comment:

  1. SRAM:
    1.Faster compared to DRAM
    2.Consumes less power than DRAM
    3.Uses more transistors per bit of memory than DRAM
    4.More expensive than DRAM
    5.Used in cache memories
    6.SRAM registers finds its application where the the registers are not updated or refreshed for longer periods

    DRAM:
    1.Fewer transistors per bit hence smaller in size
    2.Stored charge can leake results lost of data
    3.Reading is destructive
    4.slower than SRAM because of sensing process
    5.Memory controller is more complex for controlling the timing of refreshing
    6.Data is stored as charge on paracitic capacitors associated with MOS transistors
