Encyclopedia > Dram (volume)


The dram (American spelling) or drachm (British spelling) is a small imperial unit of volume; it is also called the fluidram (contraction of fluid dram). It is defined as 1/8 of a fluid ounce, which means it is exactly equal to 3.696 691 195 312 5 mL in the U.S. and 3.551 632 812 5 mL nearly everywhere else.


Dram is also used informally to mean a small amount of liquid, especially Scotch whisky.

Dram (unit) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (297 words)
The dram is the mass of 1/256 pound avoirdupois and 1/16 ounce.
The dram (symbol: ʒ) was also the mass of 1/96 pound (℔) or 1/8 ounce (℥) in the apothecaries' system that survived until the middle of the 20th century in English-speaking countries.
Thus, it was equal to 3.888 grams (in the SI).

A DRAM chip uses about half its power just to transmit data; an equal amount of power is used at the other end of the connection.
Thus, embedded DRAM can reduce system power by about the total amount of power used by the DRAM chips, even though that same amount of memory is now inside the ASIC.
Thus, embedded DRAM is most effective when adding moderate amounts of memory to an ASIC; it cannot offer the same capacity as a standard DRAM chip.
