Question
The memory address bus has a bit size of 9. How many bytes of information can be stored using 16-bit words?Question 1Answera.2 kBytesb.8 kBytec.1 kByted.4 kByte
Solution
The memory address bus with a bit size of 9 can address 2^9 = 512 unique locations. If each location stores a 16-bit (or 2-byte) word, then the total storage capacity is 512 * 2 bytes = 1024 bytes = 1 kByte. So, the answer is c. 1 kByte.
