RAM contains circuitry that connects data lines to addressed storage locations for reading and writing. It accesses multiple bits of storage at an address and is described by the number of data lines, such as 8-bit or 16-bit. Modern RAM takes the form of integrated circuits and is volatile, losing data when power is removed, though non-volatile RAM has been developed.

RAM contains multiplexing and demultiplexing circuitry, to connect the data lines to the

addressed storage for reading or writing the entry. Usually more than one bit of storage
is accessed by the same address, and RAM devices often have multiple data lines and
are said to be "8-bit" or "16-bit", etc. devices.
In today's technology, random-access memory takes the form of integrated circuits.
RAM is normally associated with volatile types of memory (such as DRAM modules),
where stored information is lost if power is removed, although non-volatile RAM has
also been developed. Other types of non-volatile memories exist that allow random
[1]

access for read operations, but either do not allow write operations or have other kinds
of limitations on them. These include most types of ROM and a type of flash memory
called NOR-Flash.
Integrated-circuit RAM chips came into the market in the early 1970s, with the first
commercially available DRAM chip, the Intel 1103, introduced in October 1970. [2
