Question

How many memory chips of configuration 1k x 8 bits are required to implement an 8k x 32 bits memory?

Answer 1

Explanation:

How many 32K x 1 RAM chips are needed to provide a memory capacity of 256K-bytes? Explanation: We need 256 Kbytes, i.e., 256 x 1024 x 8 bits. We have RAM chips of capacity 32 Kbits = 32 x 1024 bits.

Answer 2

Concept:

Memory refers to the space on your hard drive that is temporarily utilised for work. This is most common in a chip. RAM, ROM, CMOS, and flash are the four types of memory chips. Random-access memory (RAM) and read-only memory (ROM) are two different types of memory. 

Find:

The number of chips required to implement $8k \times 32$ bits memory.

Solution:

The memory capacity $8k \times 32$ = $2^{18}$

The memory chip capacity $1k \times 8$ = $2^{13}$

Number of memory chips needed are $=\frac{2^{18}}{2^{13}}$

                                                                $=2^5$

Hence, the number of chips required are $32$.
