Q

What is the name of the random-accessed semiconductor memory IC that must be refreshed periodically to maintain reliable data storage in its memory matrix?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Volatile vs non-volatile memory (does data stay when power is removed?) • How dynamic memory works compared to static or read‑only memory • Which memory types must be periodically refreshed to keep their stored bits valid

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask: does this memory keep its data without power, or does it lose data unless it is refreshed? • Think about what the word dynamic suggests about how the memory stores charge in its cells. • Which of these memories is typically used as main system RAM in computers, and what special controller action does it need during operation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which type is non-volatile (keeps data with power off) and eliminate it. • Confirm which option specifically is known to require refresh cycles handled by a memory controller. • Check that the correct choice is a standard, widely used term in electronics (be cautious of any that sound unusual or outdated).
