Difference Between Static RAM & Dynamic RAM: Sram Dram

SRAM uses flip-flops to store data in each memory cell and does not need to be refreshed, but requires more transistors per cell, making it faster but less dense and more expensive than DRAM. DRAM uses capacitors that must be periodically refreshed to maintain the charge level and store data, making it slower than SRAM but allowing for higher density at a lower cost per bit.

Difference between Static RAM & Dynamic RAM

SRAM DRAM

1. Stores bits in memory cells 1. Memory cells are composed of

composed of flip flops. capacitors and transistors.

2. Each cell which can store a single bit 2. Each cell requires a capacitor (which

requires six transistors. stores bit as charge) & a transistor.

3. Does not need to be refreshed 3. Needs to be refreshed every few

periodically as flips flops retain the milliseconds to retain data because

data. the charge of the capacitor leaks.

4. Faster access time compared to 4. Slower access time compared to

DRAM, therefore used as caches SRAM as it cannot be read while

mostly. being refreshed.

5. Low density/less memory per chip 5. High chip density/more memory per

due to more circuitry required for a chip compared to SRAM due to less

single cell. circuitry for a single cell.

6. More power consumption than 6. Less power consumption than SRAM

DRAM because of low chip density. because of simple circuitry.

7. More costly in terms of cost per bit 7. Less costly than SRAM because of

compared to DRAM due to low chip high chip density and therefore used

density. as main memory in PCs.
