Chapter 5 - SHORT ANSWER

In earlier computers the most common form of random-access storage for computer main memory employed an array of doughnut-shaped ferromagnetic loops referred to as __________.

RAM, ROM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM, and flash memory are all examples of ___Non-Volatile_______ memory types.

A _________ RAM is made with cells that store data as charge on capacitors.

A __________ RAM is a digital device that uses the same logic elements used in the processor.

Three common forms of read-mostly memory are: EPROM, EEPROM, and _________.

A __________ failure is a permanent physical defect so that the memory cell or cells affected cannot reliably store data but become stuck at 0 or 1 or switch erratically between 0 and 1.

A __________ error is a random, nondestructive event that alters the contents of one or more memory cells without damaging the memory.

The simplest of the error-correcting codes is the _________ code.

One of the most widely used forms of DRAM is the _________ DRAM.

The two distinctive types of flash memory are designated as NOR and ______ .

___________is a new type of Magnetic RAM, which features non-volatility,fast writing/reading speed, and high programming endurance and zero standby power.

__________ works by creating resistance rather than directlystoring charge.

A new version of SDRAM, referred to as __________, can send data twice per clock cycle, once on the rising edge of the clock pulse and once on the falling edge.

The traditional __________ chip is constrained both by its internal architecture and by its interface to the processors memory bus.

A typical DRAM pin configuration will include the __________ pin if necessary in order to have an even number of pins.
