| RAM is considered volatile storage
| |
| | (DRAM): Dynamic random access memory is
|
| because as soon as the power supply is
| |
| | the most common kind of RAM, which stores
|
| stopped, the contents of RAM are lost.
| |
| | each bit of a data in a separate
|
| Hence, the data in RAM stays as long as
| |
| | capacitor and a transistor. Capacitors
|
| the computer is running. RAM is much
| |
| | tend to leak electrons, thus the need for
|
| faster to read from and write to, when
| |
| | recharging arises. Hence, DRAM, unlike
|
| compared to other storage devices like
| |
| | SRAM needs to have its storage cells
|
| hard disk, CDROM, Floppy disk etc. RAM
| |
| | refreshed or given an electric charge
|
| can be both read and written; therefore,
| |
| | every few milliseconds. This refresh
|
| it is sometimes also called read-write
| |
| | requirement operation is from where
|
| memory.There are two fundamental types of
| |
| | dynamic RAM gets its name. DRAM is a
|
| RAM:(a) Dynamic RAM (DRAM)
| |
| | volatile memory because it loses data
|
| (b) Static RAM (SRAM)(a) Dynamic RAM
| |
| | when the power supply is stopped.
