how to Calculate number of address bits needed for memory?
- by leon
Hi
I am preparing my exam for computer system.
I don't quite understand how to calculate the number of address bits needed for the memory.
For example,
Suppose that a 1G x 32-bit main memory is built using 256M x 4-bit RAM chips and this memory is word-addressable.
What is the number of address bits needed for a memory module?
What is the number of address bits needed for the full memory?
And what about If the memory is byte addressable, what would be the solutions?
Many thanks
