  • Question
  • What is the major difference between SRAM and DRAM?


  • Options
  • A. DRAMs must be periodically refreshed.
  • B. SRAMs can hold data via a static charge, even with power off.
  • C. The only difference is the terminal from which the data is removed?from the FET Drain or Source.
  • D. Dynamic RAMs are always active; static RAMs must reset between data read/write cycles.

  • Correct Answer
