@Muse - This circuit models a 4-channel (4-cell) 1-bit dynamic RAM array sharing a common bitline (#bl). Each storage channel is a classic 1T1C (one transistor, one capacitor) DRAM memory cell. ### Operating Instructions 1. **Refresh Array**: * Turn #DATA off to avoid charging the storage capacitors * Turn #REFR on to stop current racing in capacitors * Turn #WR on to provide access to channels then off again * Turn #REFR off before continuing * Can also be used to write to all channels at once 2. **Select Channel**: * #S0 and #S1 are select bits * Translates from binary to decimal to select channel 0-3 (eg. #S0 high and #S1 low gives the binary number 01, which would select #C1) 3. **Write Operation**: * Set the data state on #DATA ($0$ for low, $1$ for high). * Activate the desired channel by turning its wordline on (e.g., #S0 low and #S1 high for #w2). * Press the write button #WR to let current flow down the bitline #bl * The capacitor (e.g., #C0) charges or discharges to store the bit. * Turn the wordline off to preserve the bit state inside the capacitor.
