IIC 1082 – Computer Organization & Architecture

Question 1:

Determine the capacity of a 4MB × 16 RAM chip. How much total storage (in bytes) does this
RAM chip provide?

Question 2:

A memory chip is labeled as 512K × 8. How many bits and bytes of total storage does it have?

Question 3:

A RAM module has the specification 1M × 32.

• How many data lines are required for this memory chip?
• What is its total storage capacity in bytes?

Question 4:
A ROM chip is marked 2K × 4.

• What is the total storage size in bytes and how many address lines are needed?

Question 5:

You are given a RAM chip labeled 8K × 16.


• Calculate the total capacity in bits, bytes, and the number of addressable locations.
Example :-
✓ The machine with a 16-bit Data Bus and 32-bit address bus. Calculate the
maximum accessible memory size or storage of main memory .

Accessible storage
= 232 * 16 bits
= 8GB

Question 1:

A processor has a 24-bit address bus and an 8-bit data bus. Calculate the maximum accessible
memory size of the system.

Question 2:

The system has a 32-bit data bus and a 30-bit address bus. The processor accesses memory in 4-
byte words. Calculate the maximum accessible memory.

Question 3:

A computer has a 16-bit address bus and a 16-bit data bus. If the memory is word-addressable (1
word = 2 bytes), find the maximum size of accessible memory.

Question 4:

A microcontroller has a 20-bit address bus and an 8-bit data bus. Memory is byte addressable.
Calculate the maximum accessible memory size.
Question 5:

A system uses a word-addressable memory where each word is 4 bytes. The address bus is 28
bits wide. Calculate the maximum accessible memory.

Example:-
A processer’s maximum memory is 4GB and it accessible memory size of data bus is a word (a
word consists of 2 bytes) . Calculate the number of bits of the address bus to achieve maximum
capacity of memory of the processer once?

Question 1:
A processor has a maximum memory capacity of 8 GB and accesses memory using 4-byte
words. What is the minimum number of bits required for the address bus?

Question 2:
A system has word-addressable memory where 1 word = 2 bytes. If the address bus is 30 bits,
what is the maximum accessible memory capacity?
Question 3:

A processor has 4 GB of memory, and the data bus size is 16 bits (2 bytes). The memory is byte
addressable. What is the number of address lines (bits) needed?
Question 4:

A machine uses word-addressable memory. Each word = 8 bytes. The system can access up to 64
GB of memory. What is the address bus size?

Question 5:
A processor supports a maximum memory of 2 GB, and each word is 2 bytes. If the memory is
word-addressable, how many bits are required in the address bus?
