No, DRAM is dynamic and thus stores its data as charge in capacitors. These capacitors are always discharging, so without refresh (i.e. read and rewrite every bit of data) periodically all the data in the DRAM will simply vanish. The operation of refresh requires power.

DRAM is very volatile.

What does DRAM stand for in computer terms?

DRAM stands for Dynamic Random Access Memory


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 the power saving mode on your computer called?

run, the computer is doing calculations normally (maximum power consumption)sleep, the computer is not doing calculations but maintains DRAM refresh to retain data internally (low power consumption)hibernate, the computer is not doing calculation but saved DRAM to a disk file so that DRAM refresh can also be stopped (minimal power consumption, often the computer actually turns off in this mode)


List the advantages of dynamic RAM compared with static RAM?

Static RAM and dynamic RAM are two available types of computer RAM, or Random Access Memory. One advantage of static RAM is speed, while a disadvantage is cost. An advantage of dynamic RAM is storage space, while a disadvantage would be speed.


What is the electrical component used for memory logic?

The primary electrical component used for memory logic is the transistor. Transistors act as switches or amplifiers in digital circuits, enabling the storage and retrieval of binary data. In memory chips, such as SRAM (Static Random-Access Memory) and DRAM (Dynamic Random-Access Memory), arrays of transistors are utilized to hold and manipulate data. Additionally, capacitors are used in DRAM to store charges representing bits of information.
