Question: 1 2 . Consider a 1 Gbit DRAM integrated circuit organized as 1 2 8 M addresses with one - byte words. The DRAM cells

12. Consider a 1Gbit DRAM integrated circuit organized as 128 M addresses with one-byte words. The DRAM cells are arranged in a 16 k by 64 k grid (16 k rows and 64 k columns), each word occupies 8-bits of a row, and the row number and column number concatenate to form the memory address.
- What size address bus (how many address lines) is needed for the DRAM integrated circuit?
- What size data bus (how many data lines) is needed for the DRAM integrated circuit?
- How many words are stored in each row of the DRAM cell grid?
- What size row decoder is required to select one row of the DRAM cell grid?
- What size column decoder is required to select one of the words in a row of the DRAM cell grid?
13. Consider constructing a 2Gbyte memory system organized as 256 M addresses with 8 byte words using as many of the 1Gbit DRAM integrated circuits of Problem 12 as necessary.
- What size address bus (how many address lines) is needed for the memory system?
- What size data bus (how many data lines) is needed for the memory system?
- How many of the 1Gbit DRAM integrated circuits would be required for the memory system?
- How many integrated circuits are needed in a bank to create the 8byte word size?
- How many banks are needed for the memory system?
- What size external decoder is needed to select one of the banks in the memory system?
