Given the following statement used in PLD programming:
Y PIN 23 ISTYPE ‘com’;

CS302 Question No: 33 ( M a r k s: 3 )
Explain dynamic RAM in your own words.
Ans:
Dram use latch to store a single bit of information.the main drawback of it id the discharge of capacitor over a period of time.here four gates are used in making a singlelatch. In terms of transistors, 4 to 6 transistors are required to implement a single storage cell. In order to build memories with higher densities, a single transistor is used to store a binary value. A single transistor can not store a binary value however it is used to charge and discharge a capacitor.The capacitor can not retain the charge, therefore it has to be periodically charged
through a refresh cycle.
CS302 Question No: 34 ( M a r k s: 5 )

1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
CS302 Question No: 35 ( M a r k s: 5 )
Explain Memory Select or Enable Signals
Memory Select or Enable Signal:
There are more than one memory chips to store program
Information in daily use computers. read or write operation is carried out on a single addressable location instantaneously .
The unique location is accessed in one of the several memory chips, so single memory chips is selected before a read or write operation can be carried out. All memory chips have a chip enable or chip select signal which has to be activated before the memory can be accessed.
CS302 Question No: 36 ( M a r k s: 5 )
