Example If cpu capable of address 1MB memory, and memory chips come in 64K units, how many memory chips are needed? 1MB = 1*2^20 bytes, 64K = 64*1K = 2^6*2^10 = 2^16 bytes/chip (2^20 bytes)/(2^16 bytes/chip) = 2^(20-16) = 2^4 chips = 16 chips. How many address lines are on each chip? 16 A decoder will be needed to select the appropriate chip, how many select lines are needed? 4^2 = 16 4
