Exam 5: Internal Memory

RAM,ROM,PROM,EPROM,EEPROM,and flash memory are all examples of __________ memory types.

A __________ failure is a permanent physical defect so that the memory cell or cells affected cannot reliably store data but become stuck at 0 or 1 or switch erratically between 0 and 1.

With _________ the microchip is organized so that a section of memory cells are erased in a single action.

A _________ RAM is made with cells that store data as charge on capacitors.

The simplest of the error-correcting codes is the _________ code.

One of the most widely used forms of DRAM is the _________ DRAM.

__________ is a good candidate to replace or supplement DRAM for main memory.

DRAM is much costlier than SRAM.

A number of chips can be grouped together to form a memory bank.

A new version of SDRAM,referred to as __________,can send data twice per clock cycle,once on the rising edge of the clock pulse and once on the falling edge.

__________ increases the data transfer rate by increasing the operational frequency of the RAM chip and by increasing the prefetch buffer from 2 bits to 4 bits per chip.

The two traditional forms of RAM used in computers are DRAM and SRAM.

__________ works by creating resistance rather than directly storing charge.

A __________ RAM is a digital device that uses the same logic elements used in the processor.

A typical DRAM pin configuration will include the __________ pin if necessary in order to have an even number of pins.

Three common forms of read-mostly memory are: EPROM,EEPROM,and _________.

A static RAM will hold its data as long as power is supplied to it.

The advantage of RAM is that the data or program is permanently in main memory and need never be loaded from a secondary storage device.

Which properties do all semiconductor memory cells share?

The two distinctive types of flash memory are designated as NOR and ______ .
