RAM uses static memory or dynamic memory?

Well, it can be either. There is DRAM (Dynamic random access memory) and SRAM (Static random access memory). DRAM is a much more simple and inexpensive type of memory, it only requires one transistor and capacitor per bit where as SRAM requires four transistors. However, SRAM is faster and uses much less power.


What loses its data rapidly and the memory controller must refresh it several thousand times a second?

DRAM (dynamic) - dram loses it's contents when power is not supplied. as opposed to SRAM, which is more expensive but holds data when power is not supplied.


Where does your PC store your programs when the power is off?

DRAM


Why is DRAM analog device and SRAM digital device?

This is incorrect. DRAM is a digital device, and so is SRAM. DRAM and SRAM serve the same functions- temporary storage space (or random access memory, hence 'RAM') in different ways. DRAM data is typically refreshed every so often, uses more power than SRAM and is much slower, but also much cheaper and easier to manufacture in huge sizes. SRAM, such as the cache on CPUs, is much smaller and faster, and stores data until it is cleared or the computer is turned off (and in some cases, even without power) but is extremely expensive.


What is required by Dynamic RAM DRAM to retain its contents?

DRAM requires continuous electrical power to retain its contents. If the power is interrupted even for a fraction of a second, the memory is wiped.

What is the capacity of DRAM with twelve address lines?

Since DRAM uses address multiplexing(essentially each line accesses both columns and rows in memory) you need to take 2 to the 24th power to find your total capacity(basically doubling the number of address lines). In this case it would be 16,777,216.

Disadvantages for using DRAM for the main memory?

Disadvantages of DRAM Dram having have access time compared to SRAM. It needs extra circuit to refresh the cell which refreshes the Dram thousand times per second. So it requires more power.


How does a dram compare to a gram?

1 gram = 0.257 dram or 1 dram = 3.89 grams -- Currently a dram is both a small mass in the Apothecaries' system of weights and a small unit of volume. This unit is called more correctly fluid dram or in contraction also fluidram.a dram is a unit of volume (equal to 1/8 fluid ounce). a gram is a unit of mass.
