What is Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM)?
SDRAM is designed to deliver bursts of data at very high speed using automatic
addressing, multiple page interleaving, and a synchronous (or clocked)
interface.
- SDRAM events always take the same number of clock cycles to increase data
transfer rates by eliminating non-productive wait states.
- Synchronous DRAM synchronizes itself to the computer's own internal clock.
- Traditional DRAM has its own independent timing logic which is asynchronous
to the system clock. The system often must wait an undetermined number of
clock cycles while the DRAM device performs the required function.
