Glossary definition(s) for: dynamic random-access memory
-
n., (DRAM) A type of semiconductor memory in which the information is stored in capacitors on a metal oxide semiconductor integrated circuit. Due to leakage the capacitor discharges gradually and the memory cell loses the information. Therefore, to preserve the information, the memory has to be refreshed periodically.
