RAM Practice

Question 1

The front-side bus is the communication port between the CPU and memory module.

Question 2

DRAM storage units lose their value over time, so the memory module must refresh each bank periodically.

Question 3

A/an sense amplifier is used to amplify the charge from a DRAM capacitor.

Question 4

Devices, such as a hard drive or USB drive, are known as secondary storage.

Question 5

Dynamic RAM uses a capacitor to store a bit (0 or 1).

Question 6

Which of the following DRAM timings marks the number of cycles required to select a memory module bank?

CR

Question 7

Reading a value from dynamic RAM destroys the stored value, which must be replaced by the memory controller.

True

Question 8

Which of the following DRAM timings marks the number of cycles required before the memory controller can switch rows in a memory bank?

tRP

Question 9

The initialism DDR represents the fact that words can be transferred to/from RAM on a rising AND falling clock edge.

Question 10

Which of the following DRAM timings marks the number of cycles required to select a word row before it is considered “valid”?

tRAS
