AI Thread Summary
DRAM (Dynamic Random-Access Memory) is a type of memory that requires constant refreshing to maintain data, while SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory) is a faster, synchronized version of DRAM that operates in sync with the system clock. SDRAM is considered the third generation of DRAM technology and is widely used in modern computing. The discussion highlights confusion about SDRAM's definition and its relevance in current manufacturing. Resources were suggested for further understanding, emphasizing the importance of research in the semiconductor field. Overall, SDRAM represents a significant advancement in memory technology compared to traditional DRAM.

Hi all,
I don't have much knowledge on semiconductor field. So may i get help from you all,,,
I am doing a project on DRAM technological evolution in university. When i was referring a book, it is stated the SDRAM is the third generation DRAM. But I can not undestand what is SDRAM. Those DRAMs that manufacturing today is come under the SDRAM category?
Thanks :)

There is this really nifty thing on the internet called "Google search". You should check it out.

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
