What is Random Access Memory (RAM) and Types of RAM's

RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It is also known as read/write memory, main memory and primary memory. RAM is a temporary memory it stores data temporarily and once the power is switched off, the information in the RAM is lost. Information that is stored permanently is written to the hard drive. So RAM is known as volatile memory. Volatile means the information is lost when the computer is switched off or when power fails. RAM is measured in kilobytes (or) Megabytes (or) Gigabytes.


RAM is mainly Three types:
1. Static Ram (SRAM)
2. Dynamic Ram (DRAM)
3. Cache Memory


Static Ram:
This is Ram provides a static storage of data. It is fast, has lower access time and Expensive.

Dynamic Ram:
This is computer memory, that losses its memory capability once the power source is removed. It is slower, has higher access time than SRAM. Dynamic Ram cheaper than SRAM.

Cache Memory:
It is very high speed memory that is much faster than primary memory. This cache memory is faster but more expensive to have bigger size of cache memory and its size is normally small.  Data is transferred automatically between the buffer and primary storage. Cache memories are accessed much faster than conventional RAM.

Different Types of RAM Memory :

Measuring Unit of Computer:
Bit : Stands for binary digit. 0 or 1 is called a bit (1 means ON, 0 means OFF). A 'bit' is the smallest memory unit of a computer.
Byte : Stands for 8 binary digits a group of 8 bits equal to 1 byte

Term Definition :
Kb - Kilobit
KB - Kilobyte
Mb - Megabit
MB - Megabyte
Gb – Gigabit
GB - Gigabyte
Tb - Terabit
TB - Terabyte

Measuring Memory: 

K, Kb, KB :

K (Kilo, thousand) Kb (Kilobit) one thousand bits

KB (Kilobyte) one thousand bytes

1 KB equal to 1,024 bytes or 2¹⁰ bytes

M, Mb, MB :

M (Mega, million) 

Mb (Megabit) one million bits

MB (Megabyte) one million bytes

1 MB equal to 1,048,576 bytes or 2²⁰ bytes

G, Gb, GB :

G (Giga, billion) 

Gb (Gigabit) one billion bits

GB (Gigabyte) one billion bytes

1GB equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes or 2³⁰ bytes

T, Tb, TB :

T (Tera, trillion) 

Tb (Terabit) one trillion bits

TB (Terabyte) one trillion bytes

1 TB equal to 1,099,511,627,776 bytes or 2⁴⁰ bytes

RAM Types and Definition: 
SIMM - Single Inline Memory Module
DIMM - Dual Inline Memory Module
SO-DIMM - Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module
RIMM - Rambus Inline Memory Module
SO-RIMM - Small Outline Rambus Inline Memory Module
SRAM - Static Random Access Memory

Memory Types

MEMORY UNIT AND IT'S TYPES:

There are two types of computer memory (1) Primary (2) Secondary. Primary memory is accessible directly by the processing unit. RAM is an example of primary memory. RAM stores data temporarily. RAM will loose its contents when the power is switched off or if there is power failure. Secondary memory is located outside the computer. Primary  memory is more expensive than secondary memory. Secondary storage devices to store large quantity of data for future use.

 

Memory Unit :

It is a device that can accept data or instruction, hold them and deliver then on demand at a later time. The  memory unit is also referred as primary storage.

Memory is of two types.

I. Primary Memory

II. Secondary Memory

(I). Primary Memory:

Primary Memory  is mainly of two types

(a) Random Access Memory (RAM)

(b) Read only memory (ROM)

(a) Random Access Memory (RAM)

During the executing of a program that data required by the program is stored in Ram. It provides a volatile storage, i.e. the data are lost in the even to a power failure. So Ram used to store data temporarily.

RAM is 3 types:

1. Dynamic Ram (DRAM)

2. Static Ram (SRAM)

3. Cache Memory

Dynamic Ram:

This is computer memory, that losses its memory capability once the power source is removed.

Static Ram:

This is Ram of Ram provides a static storage of data.

Cache Memory:

It is very speed memory which used to store portion of a programme from the main memory temporarily. This cache memory is more faster but more expensive. Data is transferred automatically between the buffer and primary storage.

(b) Read only memory (ROM):

In this memory, basic start up routines and BIOS (Basic Input Output Systems) are permanently loaded during the manufacturing time. It provides a non-volatile storage. i.e., the data does not get erased when the power is switched off.

ROM is 4 Types :

(a) ROM (Read Only Memory) :

This is stored at the time of manufacture of the chips

(b) Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM):

Once the chip has been programme, the recorded information can't be changed. i.e. the PROM becomes rom and the storaged information can only be read.

(c) Erasable & Programmable Read Only Memory (EPROM):

It is similar to PROM except that erasing is possible by exposing to ultraviolet Radiation.

(d) Electrically Erasable & Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM):

A recently developed type of memory that can be programmed and erased by electrically signals. EEPROM used in many electronic devices.

(II).Secondary Memory:

Secondary memory storage is used to store the data and program permanently.Secondary memory is located outside the computer. Secondary storage devices to store large quantity of data for future use.

System Unit

 

SYSTEM UNIT:

The brain behind everything that takes place in pc is contained within the system unit.

(a) Central Processing Unit (CPU):

The Microprocessor or CPU is the computer's most important component. It does all the thinking for the p.c. and runs the programs.

(b) Ram (Random Access Memory) :

When a computer is switched on and is running a program, RAM is used for purpose of holding the program and

its data, but when the p.c. switched off, anything held in ram is lost.

(c) ROM (Read only memory):

In this memory basic start up routines and BIOS (Basic Input Output System programs) are permanently loaded during the manufacturing time. It provides a nonvolatile storage. i.e., the data does not get erased when the power is switched off. It can't be altered and fresh information can't be written into a Rom. It information can be read only

THERE ARE 2 SIDES OF SYSTEM UNITS:
(i)  Front view of system unit
(ii) Back view of the system unit

FRONT VIEW OF SYSTEM UNIT:

(a) Power on/off:
Generally Computers have a main power switch on the front of the system unit.(b) Reset Button :­
This Button can be used to restart computer
(c) Turbo Button :­
Some computers offer a choice of speeds at which they can run.
(d) Key lock :­
This lock prevents the keyboard from working and hence works as a safety lock.(e) Lights :­
System unit may display a verity of colored lights on the front panel.(f) Floppy Disk Drive :­
Computer can have either the 5 1/4" or 3 1/2" floppy drive or both.

Parts of front view:

(1) 5 1/4" floppy drive

(2) 3 1/2" floppy drive

(3) Power on off switch

(4) Push Button for floppy eject

(5) Reset Button

(6) Turbo Button

(7) CPU speed display

(8) Key lock or system lock.

(9) Power indicator light.

(10) Fixed disk drive in use indicator light.

BACK VIEW OF THE SYSTEM UNIT:

(a) Power in and out sockets:
Cables plugged into these sockets carry power from the electrical outlet.(b) Serial Ports :
Serial ports connect computer to a mouse or modem. Most computers are
fitted with two serial ports.(c) Monitor Port :
A cable from monitor plugs into this port and carries the information to
be displayed on the monitor.(d) Parallel Port :
This port is usually used for connecting the computer to printer.(e) Key Board Port :
The cable from keyboard plugs into the key board port.(f) Fan Housing:
The electronic components in pc generate a lot of heat.
To prevent overheating, a fan placed at the back of the unit helps in removing the hot air from system.(g) Compartments for expansion cards:
PCs are easily expandable to provide a modern sound or faster graphics.

INSIDE A SYSTEM UNIT:

The brain behind everything that takes place in pc in contained within the system unit. Inside the unit are components constituting of pc that run programs that handle typed instructions, and determine the results.

(A) Mother Board :­

All the electronic components in a pc are mounted on a piece of fiber glass, called the mother board. A printed circuit board that has slots to connect cards into. they also include a CPU and memory.

(B) Central Processing Unit (CPU) :

The Central Processing Unit is the computer's most important component. It does all the thinking for the pc and runs the programs that you request. Without the CPU, the computer is nothing.

(C) Ram Chips:­

When a computer is switched on and is running a program, Random Access Memory (Ram) is used for purpose holding the program and its data. But when switched off, anything held in Ram is lost.

(D) Floppy Disk Drive :­

Floppy disk drive consists of a slot to accept a floppy a motor that spins the disk, a recording & reading device that moves across the disk in order to read (or) write data.

(E) Hard Disk Drive :­

It is computer's main storage unit, holding large amounts of data and programs. It uses a hard material (typically aluminum).
