Technopedia, Feb. 6, 2015 (Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is a type of random-access memory used in computing devices (primarily PCs). DRAM stores each bit of data in a separate passive electronic component that is inside an integrated circuit board. Each electrical component has two states of value in one bit called 0 and 1. This captivator needs to be refreshed often otherwise information fades. DRAM has one capacitor and one transistor per bit as opposed to static random access memory(SRAM) that requires 6 transistors. The capacitors and transistors that are used are exceptionally small. There are millions of capacitors and transistors that fit on one single memory chip)
