Random Access Memory
° DRAM
° SRAM
° Circuit of DRAM:
°
° 0dentifying each row and column
°
° §eeping track of the refresh sequence
°
° Reading and restoring the signal from a cell
°
° Telling a cell whether it should take a charge or
not
|
° Advantage
° static RAM significantly faster than dynamic
RAM
° Disadvantage
° static memory cell takes up a lot more space
on a chip than a dynamic memory cell
° expensive
°
° Static random access memory uses multiple transistors, typically
four to six, for each memory cell but doesn't have a capacitor in
each cell. 0t is used primarily for cache
cache..
°
°
has memory cells with a
paired transistor and capacitor requiring constant refreshing.
°
°
takes
advantage of the burst mode concept to greatly improve
performance. 0t does this by staying on the row containing the
requested bit and moving rapidly through the columns, reading
each bit as it goes. The idea is that most of the time the data
needed by the CPU will be in sequence. Maximum transfer rate
to L2 cache is approximately 528 MBps.
°
°
is
just like SDRAM except that is has higher bandwidth,
meaning greater speed. Maximum transfer rate to L2
cache is approximately 1,064 MBps (for DDR SDRAM
133 MHZ).
°
° 0t has the ability to operate the external data bus
twice the data rate as DDR SDRAM. This is achieved
by improved bus signaling
signaling,, and by operating the
memory cells at half the clock rate (one quarter of
the data transfer rate), rather than at the clock rate
as in the original DDR
° !
° 0t has the ability to transfer 0/O data at eight times
the data rate of the memory cells it contains, thus
enabling higher bus rates and higher peak rates than
earlier memory technologies

° Types:
°
(R0MM)
° is comparable in size and pin configuration to
D0MM but uses a special memory bus to greatly
increase speed.
°
(SOD0MM)
° SOD0MM cards are small, about 2 x 1 inch (5 x 2.5
cm), and have 144 or 200 pins. Capacity ranges
from 16 MB to 1 GB per module.
° Windows NT/2000
° Minimum: needs at least 64 MB,
° Optimum Performace: 128 MB or more.
