Computer System Architecture - Memory Hierarchy

27. If each address space represents one byte of storage space, how many address lines are needed to access RAM chips arranged in a 4 x 6 array, where each chip is 8K x 4 bits

  • Option : D
  • Explanation : As there are 4*6 = 24 chips so (as  2>= 24 ) 5 bits are required to address them.
    in each RAM  number of bytes=(8k*4)/8 = 4k
    So to  represent 4k we need(as 212=4096) 12 bits
    Therefore  to represent total structure we need 12+5=17 bits.
