DRAM

In a DRAM cell array, which line connects to the gates of the cell transistors and selects the row to be read or written?

  1. ABit line
  2. BWord line
  3. CPower line
Show answer and explanation

Answer: B. Word line

In a DRAM cell array, the word line selects a row and turns on the cell transistors, and the capacitor charge is read or written through the bit line. The bit line leads to a sense amplifier.
