e,d,c,b,a. What cube is represented by 1x01x?
a. a.c.d
b. a.c.d
c. e.c.b
d. b.e
12. How many 256-word, 4 bits per word, memory blocks are necessary to implement a 1024-
word, 4 bits per word memory bank?
a. 2
b. 4
c. 8
d. 16
Answer
1. a
2. b
3. c
4. d
5. a
6. c
Hint: CK2= CK1/16, 16 for 4-bits = 8 Khz
7. b
Hint: Memory Block=256 words x 4 bits =1024 bits/block
Memory bank= 256 words x 64 bits =16384 bits
No. of Blocks = Memory bank/Memory blocks =16384/1024 =16 blocks
8. a
Hint:
The most significant bit (MSB) of a binary counter toggle at half the frequency of the
complete count cycle, fCK=20/2=10 kHz
No. of States for MSB is 24-1=8
fMSB= fCK/No. of States
fMSB=10/8 =1.25 kHz
9. d
Hint: 8K×8 bits=(8×1024) bytes=8192 bytes
10. d
11. c
12. b
