Journal: SRAM and DRAM
Due at 10:30pm the night before Friday, September 18, 2015

Please submit your reading journal responses to me via email with the subject [CSC 211.01] Journal: SRAM and DRAM.

Part 1

Explain the purpose of a tristate buffer, and why it is required. You can assume I understand basic logic gates, combinational building blocks like multiplexers, and the memory elements we have discussed in class.

Part 2

What are the advantages and disadvantages of DRAM versus SRAM? Why would we go to the trouble of using it?

Part 3 (optional)

How is the course going? What do you like about labs and regular class meetings? What would you change?
