A 16-bit microprocessor has twenty address lines (A0 to A19) and 16 data lines. The higher eight significant lines of the data bus of the processor are tied to the 8-data lines of a 16 Kbyte memory that can store one byte in each of its 16K address locations. The memory chip should map onto contiguous memory locations and occupy only 16 Kbyte of memory space. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct with respect to the above design? |
| A. | If the 16 Kbyte of memory chip is mapped with a starting address of 80000H, then the ending address will be 83FFFH. |
| B. | The active high chip-select needed to map the 16 Kbyte memory with a starting address at F0000H is given by the logic expression (A19 · A18 · A17 · A16). |
| C. | The 16 Kbyte memory cannot be mapped with contiguous address locations with a starting address as 0F000H using only A19 to A14 for generating chip select. |
| D. | The above chip cannot be interfaced as the width of the data bus of the processor and the memory chip differs. |
| Answer» B. The active high chip-select needed to map the 16 Kbyte memory with a starting address at F0000H is given by the logic expression (A19 · A18 · A17 · A16). | |
