Different types of RAM: Static RAM, Dynamic RAM

Different types of RAM: 

Primary memory is the main area in a computer in which data is stored for quick access by the computer’s processor.
RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of primary memory. It accessed any piece of data at any time, RAMs stores data as long as the computer is switched on or is in use. RAM is volatile.
There are two types of RAM. They are:
  1. Static RAM
  2. Dynamic RAM

  • Static RAM: 

This type of RAM is static in nature, as it does not have to be refreshed at regular intervals. Static RAM is made of large number of flip-flops on IC. It is being costlier and having packing density.

  • Dynamic RAM: 

This type of RAM holds each bit of data in an individual capacitor in an integrated circuit. It is dynamic in the sense that the capacitor charge is repeatedly refreshed to ensure the data remains intact.
