4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
How many memory locations can an 8-bit address bus access?
Think about how many values can 8 bits represent.
What unit of measurement is used to describe one byte?
Recall how many bits make up one byte.
What is the maximum number of memory locations that an 8-bit address bus can address?
Think about the total combinations of values available with 8 bits.
True or False: A data bus size of 32 bits allows for the transfer of 32 bits of data at a time.
Recall what the data bus is used for in a computer system.
A computer has a 16-bit address bus and a data bus of 32 bits. Calculate the total number of memory locations addressable, and how much data can be transferred at once.
Use the power of 2 for both address bus and data bus calculations.
Analyze the effects of increasing the address bus from 16 bits to 32 bits in terms of memory capacity and practical applications.
Think about current computing needs and how addressable memory allows for it.
