Gregory's Server@kenshirriff When you read the capacitor you do discharge it like in a dynamic ram ? Is it a destructive read that needs the value to be restored ?

@gilesgoat Yes, reading the capacitor is destructive. You force the capacitor to the 1 state; it takes more current to do this if it was in a 0 state initially. (It is very much like magnetic core memory, with a hysteresis curve.)
