Differences between DRAM and SRAM?

Answer Posted / coolmoon

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

Calculate rise delay of a 3-input NAND gate driving a 3-input NOR gate through a 6mm long and 0.45m wide metal wire with sheet resistance R = 0.065 / and Cpermicron= 0.25 fF/m. The resistance and capacitance of the unit NMOS are 6.5k and 2.5fF. Use a 3 segment -model for the wire. Consider PMOS and NMOS size of reference inverter as 2 and 1 respectively. Use appropriate sizing for the NAND and NOR gate.
