You're on a roll — 2) A RAM has a capacity of 512K × 16 a) How many memory addresses does this RAM have? The capacity 512K × 16 indicates 512K memory locations. K represents 2^10. Number of addresses = 512 × 2^10 Since 512 = 2^9, Number of addresses = 2^9 × 2^10 = 2^19 2^19 = 524288 The RAM has 524288 memory addresses. 524288 b) How many address lines will be needed for this RAM? The number of address lines (n) is such that 2^n equals the number of memory addresses. From part a), the number of addresses is 2^19. So, 2^n = 2^19. Therefore, n = 19. 19 address lines c) How many data lines will be needed for this RAM? The capacity 512K × 16 indicates that each memory location stores 16 bits. This means 16 data lines are needed to read or write data to/from the RAM. 16 data lines d) How many I/O lines will be needed for this RAM? I/O lines for RAM typically refer to the data lines, as data is input and output through these lines. 16 I/O lines Send me the next one 📸
