Question 1.
What is the range of memory locations for a 10-bit address bus?
Show hintHide hint
Recall that the address bus allows accessing 2^n locations.
Question 2.
If an 8-bit address bus can access 256 locations, what is 2^8?
Show hintHide hint
This is a direct application of the memory addressing formula.
3Question 3.
What does an 8-bit address bus allow?
- 256 locations
- 512 locations
- 1024 locations

- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recap the relationship between bits and memory addressing.
Question 5.
You have a 16-bit address bus connected to a memory module. How many memory locations can you access, and what is the range of addresses?
Show hintHide hint
Use the formula 2^n to calculate.
Question 6.
If a memory module has a capacity of 4GB and allows 4 bytes per memory location, how many memory locations does it have, and what size of address bus is needed?
