A Memory Bit
This is one storage cell in an earlier 16-megabit DRAM memory chip. Although minuscule in overall capacity compared to today's memory, there were 16,777,216 of these cells in the chip, which was only a quarter of an inch square.

For instance a PRML (Partial Response Maximum Likelihood) channel interprets the recorded transitions in a different way by partial amplitude sampling in order to increase the bit density using somewhat lower magnetic transition densities than in straight peak detect channels as illustrated.
