🙂: Create open-ended questions 🤖 Smallpdf.com: Questions: 1. What is the difference between Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) and Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM)? 2. What are the three major types of Integrated Circuits (ICs)? 3. What are the advantages of using Integrated Circuits? 4. What is Cache Memory and why is it important in a CPU? 5. What is the role of Registers in a CPU? Answers: 1. Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) uses transistors and requires constant power to maintain data, making it faster and more expensive. It does not need refreshing. In contrast, Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) uses capacitors, which lose energy over time and require periodic refreshing to retain data. DRAM is cheaper, larger, and slower than SRAM. 2. The three major types of Integrated Circuits (ICs) are Digital Integrated Circuits, Analog Integrated Circuits, and Mixed Integrated Circuits. Digital ICs are used in computer memories and microprocessors, Analog ICs handle continuous signals for functions like amplification, and Mixed ICs combine both digital and analog functionalities. 3. The advantages of using Integrated Circuits include low power consumption, high reliability, low cost, and high-speed operation. These features make ICs suitable for a wide range of applications in electronics. 4. Cache Memory is a small, faster memory located in the CPU that stores frequently accessed instructions and data. It is important because it reduces the time and effort needed to retrieve data from the slower main memory, thereby improving the overall performance of the CPU. 5. Registers in a CPU are used to hold memory addresses of data, the next instruction, and intermediate results during program execution. They act as transit storage between the main memory and the processor, facilitating quick access to essential data.
