1、DRAM工作原理 DRAM工作原理,Dynamic Random Access Memory Each cell is a capacitor + a transistor Very small size SRAM uses six transistors per cell Divided into banks, rows & columns Each bank can be independently controlled,DRAM,Main Memory Everything that happens in the computer is resident in main memory C
2、apacity: around 100 Mbyte to 100 Gbyte Random access Typical access time is 10- 100 nanoseconds Why DRAM for Main Memory ? Cost effective (small chip area than SRAM) High Speed(than HDD, flash) High Density(Gbyte) Mass Production ,Main memory,Notation: K, M, G In standard scientific nomenclature, th
3、e metric modifiers K, M, and G to refer to factors of 1,000, 1,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 respectively. Computer engineers have adopted K as the symbol for a factor of 1,024 (210 ) K: 1,024 (210 ) M: 1,048,576 (220 ) G: 1,073,741,824 (230 ) DRAM density 256M-bit 512M-bit,DRAM Density,What is a DRAM?
4、DRAM stands for Dynamic Random Access Memory. Random access refers to the ability to access any of the information within the DRAM in random order. Dynamic refers to temporary or transient data storage. Data stored in dynamic memories naturally decays over time. Therefore, DRAM need periodic refresh
