Differences between DRAM and SRAM?
Answer Posted / vimalanathan j
SRAM stands for Static Random Access Memory. In this to
store either 1 or 0 (i.e.) a single bit 6 transistors are
required. SRAM is the volatile memory. They can retain the
data until the system is powered off. As they use 6
transistor per bit they have faster access time and they
don't require to be periodically refreshed.
DRAM stands for Dynamic Random Access Memory. In this to
store a bit it requires 1 transistor and 1 capacitor.As
they use capacitor it requires to periodically refreshed.
This reduces the overall performance. But when compared the
size of SRAM and DRAM, SRAM is bigger than DRAM and on
costwise DRAM is economical
