Short for Synchronous DRAM, a type of DRAM that can run at much higher clock speeds than conventional memory. SDRAM actually synchronizes itself with the CPU's bus and is capable of running at 133 MHz, about three times faster than conventional FPM RAM, and about twice as fast EDO DRAM and BEDO DRAM. SDRAM is replacing EDO DRAM in many newer computers.
SDRAM is a variant of DRAM in which the memory speed is synchronized with the clock pulse from the CPU.
This synchronization enables the SDRAM to pipeline read and write requests. Pipelining enables the SDRAM to accept commands at the same time as it is processing other commands.
There are three variants of SDRAM:
Single Data Rate SDRAM - SDR SDRAM
Dual Data Rate SDRAM - DDR SDRAM
SD-RAM is synchronous Dynamic RAM and it is the only type of RAM that can be used in a laptop.
No. SDRAM and DDR SDRAM are not compatible with each other.
function of sdram
Physical size of the memory card. Mobile sdram is smaller than sdram for desktops.
No. SDR SDRAM and DDR SDRAM modules are not interchangeable.
No.
Sdram has one notch. Depending upon the model of Sdram the number of pins it has can vary but a standard Sdram has 184 pins.
