Computer Fundamentals & Programming Engineering Flashcards
It is the memory that has imprinted in it data and programs for the CPU which cannot be earased or written to:
(ROM, RAM, DRAM, SRAM)
ROM
What does PROM mean
Programmable Read Only Memory
EEPROM stands for
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
UVPROM Stands for
UltraViolet-Erasable Programmable Memory
What does RAM mean?
Random Access Memory
DRAM stands for
Dynamic Random Access Memory
SRAM stands for
Static Random Memory
Which is faster DRAM or SRAM?
SRAM
Dram - capacitors
SRAM - Flipflops
The main function of this is to store all the computer files or data for a long duration of time. In fact it can store more information even when there is no power to the computer
(HDD, SDRAM, DRAM, ROM)
HDD
__________ is not an example of combinational Circuit

Reduced Instruction Set Computer
__________ is the number of times a second that a circuit operates and is most associated with the central processing unit (CPU).
Clock Speed
_________ a group of commands for a central processing unit (CPU) in machine language
Instruction Set
_________ refers to the maximum number of bits that a CPU can process at a time.
Word Size
_________ is the part of a central processing unit that carries out arithmetic and logic operations on the operands in computer instruction words.
(Control Unit, ALU, Data Bus, Decoder)
ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)
It instructs the memory, logic unit, and both output and input devices of the computer on how to respond to the program’s instructions.
(Control Unit, ALU, Decoder, Registers
Control Unit
a storage space for units of memory that are used to transfer data for immediate use by the CPU (Central Processing Unit) for data processing.
