+ * Memory of 4K registers, each 16-bit wide.
+ * The chip facilitates read and write operations, as follows:
+ * Read: out(t) = RAM4K[address(t)](t)
+ * Write: If load(t-1) then RAM4K[address(t-1)](t) = in(t-1)
+ * In words: the chip always outputs the value stored at the memory
+ * location specified by address. If load == 1, the in value is loaded
+ * into the memory location specified by address. This value becomes
+ * available through the out output starting from the next time step.
