Which data types requires the least amount of memory?
int
What is the Difference of sram and dram in term of application?
both are semiconductor memory. semiconductor means that both need continuous voltage or charge to sustain their data. SRAM used for cache , and store data in the flip flop, no need for refreshing , fast access but more expensive. DRAM used for main memory , and store data in capacitor, need for refreshing , slow access but less expensive.
Memory is a type of chip that requires no power to hold data?
RAM
What does flash drive means?
The amount of data/information the flash drive can store at one time.
Is RAM permanent or volatile?
It can be either depending on the type of RAM. Dynamic RAM (DRAM) requires constant refreshing and will lose its data if power is lost whereas Static RAM (SRAM) will retain its memory state. The majority of RAM in computers is DRAM and volatile. The most common form of non-volatile memory is flash, widely used for USB memory devices.
Which memories need refreshing cycle to retain data?
Semiconductor memories with DRam because each read operation requires discharging of capacitors in DRam.Besides,capacitors tend to degrade,so refreshing is needed from time to time
Does RAM store data temporary?
RAM is just memory your computer uses to run tasks while its on.
How many address lines and data lines are required for a2Kx8 memory?
A 2K X 8 memory requires 11 address lines and 8 data lines
What type of memory must be constantly refreshed to hold its data?
I believe this is known as dynamic memory. The most common dynamic memory is the RAM in your computer.
What is the use of paged memory?
Paged memory is used to extend the real physical memory of the machine by copying blocks of data from the memory to a drive. That way you can run many programs simultaneously even if they consume more memory than you physically have in your computer. When a program requires to access the data that is "paged to disk" the operating system will read this data into memory.
Is RAM memory volatile?
Yes it is. Volatile memory is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information; it retains data while powered, but when power is lost data is immediately lost.
How does SRAM work?
SRAM (Static RAM) is an improved architecture of regular DRAM. Traditional DRAM is composed of a transistor and a capacitor which require periodic rewriting (refreshing) of information in order for data to remain valid. SRAM memory requires no refresh at all, it will maintain its information so long as it has sufficient power to keep it. This is due to the fact that internally, the SRAM component is made up of flip-flop circuitry, that does not depend on refreshing.
