Air date: Aug 01, 2016

An introduction to the 16-byte by 8-bit static RAM that we're going to build for our 8-bit computer. Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/beneater Previously we built a 1-bit register: https://youtu.be/-arYx_oVIj8 Next we extended that to build an 8-bit register: https://youtu.be/CiMaWbz_6E8 In this video, we extend that further to describe how a 16-byte static RAM would work. Then we take a look at the 74LS189, which we'll use to build our computer's RAM. See https://eater.net/bbcpu8-ram for more.
