Am I doing RAM correctly?

I'm not sure if what I'm creating here is RAM or not. I would like any sort of confirmation weather it is or not. And if so, would this be considered 4-Bit? The green pins are the address', and the yellow is the store.


This is pretty much how I made my ram. You can find a post on my chips if you go far back enough on the thread.

I did one thing differently though; those 4 address bits could totally be used to address 16 different registers instead of just 4 registers if you work some multiplexor magic! Then you'll have a lot more ram!


Good work, keep it up <3

how did you make the bus buffers?

It's in the creator's 4th video about the game, right after he introduces tri-state buffers

this is not the best way to create RAM. but it's pretty close. right now, your ram is using only one green line at a time. normal RAM uses a decoder in the address line and multiplexers at the output

Yeah, this is 4-bit ram but you could use decoders to reduce the amount of input pins

Is there clock synchronization?
