PROBLEM 2 (20 PTS) a) What is the minimum number of bits required to represent: (2 pts) 220,000 symbols? b) A microprocessor has a 24-bit address line. The size of the memory contents of each address is 8 bits. The memory space is defined as the collection of memory positions the processor can address. (6 pts) - What is the address range (lowest to highest, in hexadecimal) of the memory space for this microprocessor? What is the size (in bytes, KB, or MB) of the memory space? 1KB210 bytes, 1MB = 220 bytes, 1GB = 23 bytes. (2 pts) A memory device is connected to the microprocessor. Based on the memory size, the microprocessor has assigned the addresses 0xC80000 to 0xCBFFFF to this memory device. What is the size (in bytes, KB, or MB) of this memory device? 8 bits "What is the minimum number of bits required to represent the addresses only for this memory device? 0x3FFFFF Occupied Numbers between (and including) 65,000 and 69,096? c) The figure below depicts the entire memory space of a microprocessor. Each memory address occupies one byte. (12 pts) What is the size (in bytes, KB, or MB) of the memory space? What is the address bus size of the microprocessor? (2 pts) - If we have a memory chip of 512KB, how many bits do we require to address 512KB of memory? We want to connect the 512KB memory chip to the microprocessor. For optimal implementation, we must place those 512KB in an address range where every single address shares some MSBS (e.g.: 0x000000 to 07FFFF). Provide a list of all the possible address ranges that the 512KB memory chip can occupy. You can only use the non-occupied portions of the memory space as shown below.
