Question
Differences between DRAM and SRAM?
 Question Submitted By :: Markus
I also faced this Question!!     Rank Answer Posted By  
 
  Re: Differences between DRAM and SRAM?
Answer
# 1
dram consist of only one transistor and then it is a 
volatile memory.it is refreshed periodically otherswise 
stored informations are deleted.
sram consists of five or six transistors and it is also a 
volatile memory, if power is shutoff or rewrite the data 
means already stored informations are deleted.it reqiures 
power continuously.

Answer
# 2
SRAM (Static RAM)
Data is stored in cross-coupled inverters
Large cell - requires several transistors (6T cell standard)
Fast access time / Low density
Integrates easily into logic fab processes

DRAM (Dynamic RAM)
Data is stored in form of charged capacitors
Small cell - requires one capacitor and one transistor
“Refresh” operation required every few milliseconds
Slower access time but much higher density than SRAM

Answer
# 3
SRAM
>Short for static random access memory, and pronounced ess-
ram.
>SRAM is a type of memory that is faster and more reliable 
than the more common DRAM
>SRAM's store bits (1's or 0's) in memory cells that are 
basically flip flops.To store 1 bit of information about 6 
transistors are used
>it does not required refreshing
>it is more costlier than DRAM in terms of cost per bit,


DRAM
>DRAM stands for dynamic random access memory, a type of 
memory used in most personal computers

>In DRAM to store 1 bit of information 1 transistor and 1 
capacitor is used.
>The information is stored in the capacitor in form of 
charge, so it required refreshing to retain the charge or 
data in the capacitor.
