Memory Systems • Classes of Volatile Memory: • Static Memory (SRAM) • Transistorized • High speed • Higher cost • Used for video and cache • Types: • Asynchronous • Synchronous • Pipeling • Burst-Mode • Dynamic Memory (DRAM) • Capacitor based, needs constant refreshing of signal imprint • Lower cost • Used for main system storage
Enhanced DRAM Types • Enhanced DRAM (EDRAM) • Integrates SRAM into the component for a 40% performance improvement • Used for L2 Cache • Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) • Employs clock signals to organize memory requests • Allows the processor to do other duties while the data is being organized in memory • Enhanced Data Out (EDO) memory • An advanced type of Fast Page Mode Dram • Increases speed by eliminating wait time between issuing memory address requests by not turning off data pins between bus cycles. Thus, successive accesses of an address can occur using 2 clock cycles instead of 3.
DRAM Modules • Chips • Must be used in groups of 9 • 8 memory • 1 parity • SIPPS/SIMMS • 30 pin • 72 pin • Must be used in pairs • DIMMS • 168 pin • Can be used singly
Printers • Divided in two ways • Feed Types • Friction Feed • Tractor Feed • Printing Methods • Daisy Wheel/Impact • Dot Matrix • Ink Jet Matrix • Ink Jet Continuous Stream • Laser
Laser Printing Process • A photosensitive drum is given a negative charge. A laser beam creates positive-charge spots on the drum. Negatively-charged toner is attracted to the positive spots on the drum. Paper is then run past the drum, transferring the toner to the paper. The paper is then pressed and heated, fusing the toner to the paper. • The order of events in Laser Printing: • Cleaning • Lamps shine on the drum, neutralizing any residual charge and getting rid of the last image • Conditioning • The primary corona wire creates the negative charge on the drum • Writing • The laser writes the page image on the drum by positively charging some areas of the drum. • Developing • The developer roller of the toner cartridge expels toner onto the drum past a restricting plate. The toner sticks to the positive-charged areas of the drum; the excess is removed from the drum by a wiper blade and returned to the cartridge • Transferring • The transfer corona wire pulls the remaining toner off the drum and onto the paper as the paper is run past the drum. • Fusing • A fusing roller melts the toner onto the paper
