A byte of RAM is a component comprised of 8 bits of RAM with all of the individual bit setter inputs connected to a single setter input (C).
When the setter (C) is on, the outputs (Q0-Q7) are set to the values of the respective inputs (D0-D7). When the setter is turned off, the bit values can not be modified.
A single byte of ram can hold 256 different values from 0000 0000 to 1111 1111.
This byte circuit can be represented with the following graphic:
Note: in the block diagram shown above, the setter is labeled s, not c as in the first diagram.
