Answer : Difference Between SRAM and DRAM As Follows :-
SRAM
1. SRAM Stands For Static Random Assessable Memory.
2.Stores bits in memory cells composed of flip flops.
3.Each cell which can store a single bit requires six transistors.
4.Does not need to be refreshed periodically as flips flops retain the data.
5.Faster access time compared to DRAM, therefore used as caches mostly.
6.Low density/less memory per chip due to more circuitry required for a single cell.
7. More power consumption than DRAM because of low chip density.
8.More costly in terms of cost per bit compared to DRAM due to low chip density.
DRAM
1.DRAM Stands For Dynamic Random Assessable Memory.
2.Memory cells are composed of capacitors and transistors.
3. Each cell requires a capacitor (which stores bit as charge) & a transistor.
4.Needs to be refreshed every few milliseconds to retain data because the charge of the capacitor leaks.
5.Slower access time compared to SRAM as it cannot be read while being refreshed.
6.High chip density/more memory per chip compared to SRAM due to less circuitry for a single cell.
7. Less power consumption than SRAM because of simple circuitry.
8.Less costly than SRAM because of high chip density and therefore used as main memory in PCs.
