Continue building the RAM module for an 8-bit computer in this second part of the video series. Add the memory address register (MAR) and DIP switches for setting the address when programming, along with the logic to switch between using the register and the switches. Learn how to integrate these components into the existing RAM module, enhancing its functionality and versatility. Follow along as the video demonstrates the step-by-step process of assembling and connecting the various components, including the 74LS173 4-bit D-type register, 74LS157 quad 2-to-1 line data selectors, and additional logic gates. Gain insights into the design considerations and practical implementation of memory addressing in a custom-built computer system.
