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 (dynamic RAM). The term static is derived from the fact that it doesn't need to be refreshed like dynamic RAM. To store 1 bit of information about 6 transistors are used and it does not required refreshing. Because Six transistors are used to store 1 bit of information, it is more costlier than DRAM in terms of cost per bit, where only 1 transistor and 1 capacitor is used to store 1 bit of information.
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.
SRAM is Static RAM and DRAM is Dynamic RAM. DRAM is slower than SRAM and needs to be refreshed where SRAM does not and is used for cache.
(Static RAM) SRAM is similar to DRAM but does not constantly refresh. SRAM is faster and more expensive than DRAM and is generally used for speed-critical areas of the computer such as cache memory.
(Dynamic Random Access Memory) DRAM is the most common type of memory and is "dynamic" because in order for the memory chip to retain data, it must be refreshed constantly (every few milliseconds). If the cell is not refreshed, the data is lost. DRAM temporarily stores data in a cell composed of a capacitor and a transistor. Each cell contains a specified number of bits. These cells are accessed by row addresses and column addresses.

What is the difference between DRAM and SRAM in terms of pin diagram?

What is the difference between DRAM and SRAM in terms of characterstics such as size?
•Dynamic cell (DRAM) -Simpler to build, smaller -More dense -Less expensive -Needs refresh -Larger memory units •Static (SRAM) -Faster -Cache
What are different types of rams?
sram and dram
What adventage does dram have over sram?
DRAM has a lower price. Further details below:
Why sram less dense than dram?
SRAM is less dense than DRAM because SRAM cells are made up of multiple transistors, typically 6 transistors per cell, which require more space compared to the single transistor used in DRAM cells. This extra space needed for each cell in SRAM makes it less dense in terms of storing data compared to DRAM.
Ram is divided into two categories what are they?
DRAM and SRAM
What advantage does DRAM have over SRAM?
Dynamic Random Access Memory contents need to be continuously refreshed. When its contents are being refreshed, memory can not be read from nor write to. Another point to note is that DRAM is cheap to manufacture (This could be the only advantage it has to SRAM).Where as in Static Random Access Memory, memory need not to be continuosly refreshed and therefore memory can be accessed at any time. SRAM is expensive to manufacture.
What is the difference between FPM DRAM and EDO DRAM?
nothing they are the same
What are forms of ram?
SRAM DRAM SDRAM XRAM is not a form of RAM.
What are all forms of RAM?

What are the two main types of ram memory sram and dram?
DDR and DDR2
The main difference between sdram and dram is that dram is?
The main difference between Synchronous random access memory, SDRAM and Dynamic Random Access Memory, DRAM is that SDRAM is synchronous while DRAM is asynchronous. As such, SDRAM is efficient in retrieving and storing data than DRAM.
